Frequently Asked Questions

Is yin yoga teacher training a 200 hour course?
Yin yoga teacher training is usually a 50-hour or 100-hour module rather than a full 200-hour course, so it works as a specialisation or continuing education. A few schools run a complete 200-hour yin-focused programme. Check the format before booking.

How is yin yoga teacher training different from restorative yoga training?
