Jules Jenkinson

Join Jules and guest teachers for a special offering: 12 days of Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. There is a very limited amount of space for this training. The spots are few, so please save your place as soon as possible.
Our time together welcomes those that simply seek to deepen their own practice, or seek a personal retreat. Over the course of 12 days together is also very much a comprehensive training developed for the avid students and teachers interested in learning the core physical aspects of the practice of Yin Yoga, in order to teach the practice and consciously guide Yoga Nidra.
Yin and Yoga Nidra Training will include:
Core principles of Yin Yoga; how to cue postures and educate students safely
How to artfully sequence Yin postures for maximum myofascial and joint benefits, including targeted sequencing, and counterposes
How to sequence according to 5 elements, and how to sequence a guided meditation in Nidra according to the system of koshas.
Study of the anatomy and biomechanics of the spine, pelvis, thigh, knee, and shoulder girdle, including considerations for injuries and modification needs,
Understand the role and function of fascia, connective tissue, and the vital role it plays in overall health.
How to adapt the practice to specific populations and concerns (growing bodies, aging bodies, athletes, stress-relief, sleep-aid, etc)
How to create and promote a Yin class, what to ask, what you will need, what to ask for.
Receive sample scripts for Yoga Nidra, and how to build your own creative scripts.
An understanding of some common applications for Yoga Nidra in the worlds of education, mental health, and social change.
Students will receive a certificate of training in Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra from Yoga YACEP, which is eligible for Continuing Education Credit (100 hours) with the Yoga Alliance. By the end of the training – which does include practice teaching – you will have the foundations to teach a complete class in each style, and the resources to begin doing so professionally, if you choose.
