50 Hour Yin & Restore Yoga Teacher Training

Yin and Restore Teacher Training, Autumn 2026

 

Deep dive into the world of Yin with this 50 hour Teacher Training. This course will give you the tools to become a Yin Yoga teacher and it will also enable you to bring a restorative element to your practice and teaching. This course will be very practical, so you’ll have the chance to not only learn how to teach but also to immerse yourself in rest and relaxation. What a wonderful way to spend three weekends!

50 hours of CPD, 36 contact hours and 14 non contact hours.

I enjoyed every minute of the course. I wish it were longer! It has given me a great deal of
tools of how to care for myself that I will go on to share with others in my teaching.

Here is what Melissa says about the training:

“My hope for this training is that it will give students the skills and confidence to be adaptable when teaching Yin Yoga. I’m used to teaching a very wide range of students of all ages and abilities and I think it’s so important that the practice is as accessible as possible. So after the training you will have the skills, not only to teach experienced and flexible yogis, but also beginners coming through the door for the first time. Another thing that is extremely important to me is that everyone feels welcome and comfortable and each student has the opportunity to take care and listen to their own bodies.This style of practice has been such a huge part of my life for more than a decade and I’m thrilled to be able to share the skills and knowledge I have learned with other teachers ”

I came away from the weekends far more confident that I could teach in a nice honest safe manner, that I can only thank you for….I have to say that your TT went beyond everything I thought I would get out of it.
