I want to do the course, but I don't think I want to teach, should I still do it?

Yes! There are 3 main aspects of the training: Education - INTEGRATION - Teaching Methodology You will learn through lectures, readings, discussions, presentations etc. history, philosophy, anatomy, physiology, meditation, pranayama, mantra, mudra, subtle body anatomy. But the INTEGRATION is the bulk of the training, where you'll practice practice practice to embody techniques of what you're learning. You will learn how to teach others, which even if you don't plan on teaching, will only deepen your understanding of the practice. Even if you don't plan to teach a 'yoga class', you might (will!) find you can incorporate these teachings into all that you do.

I don't have 2 years experience, can I still do the training?

Yes, I just want there to be a genuine interest and understanding of yoga. I'm not interested in you doing the splits, I'm interested in you being curious about the teachings of yoga.

Can I stay nearby for the training weekends?

Yes! There are plenty of options for accommodations in Grantown on Spey, I can help with that.

Will I learn to teach Yin Yoga? I love yin?

No, this is not a yin or restorative teacher training. You will practice those types, along with other styles, but it is a Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Training. You will learn a foundational Hatha Vinyasa sequence that can and will be adapted for different intensities, levels, populations, and different focuses (mobility, relaxation, strength, workplace, etc).

Can I teach at my workplace after this training?

Yes, you will be a certified yoga teacher after this training, once insured, you'll be able to teach anywhere you like.

KWY Teacher Training was born out of our love for yoga, a practice that supports and sustains us through whatever challenges life throws in our way. Learning to teach yoga is an opportunity to deepen your understanding and practice of yoga and share the joy of this practice with others.

My 200hr Yoga Alliance Registered Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training offers you the time and the community to deepen your practice, develop your voice and your passions, and then if you choose, learn how to skillful lead others in that which inspires you. This course will provide you with a practical foundation in Hatha Vinyasa Yoga, meaning you start teaching from weekend two. This helps you to develop an understanding of the frameworks and building blocks of sequencing classes and the skills required to teach. Equal importance is placed on the essential foundational knowledge of yoga asana, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy, energetics, and the development of your OWN teaching style and voice.

200 HOUR VINYASA YTT

50 Hour Embodied Yin & Yoga Nidra Training

50 hour Yin

Next course begins November 2026

My Embodied Yin + Yoga Nidra Training was born from a deep love of the slower practices, the ones that draw us inward, restore our rhythm, and return us to coherence. These practices have a way of meeting us exactly where we are, offering nourishment, clarity, and a kind of healing that comes from listening rather than striving.

Embodied Yin and Yoga Nidra together form a pathway into the subtle body, the meridians, the elements, the emotional tides, the inner landscapes that only reveal themselves when effort dissolves.

Yin works with the tissues.

Nidra works with the mind and the layers of consciousness.

Together, they create a training that is both somatic and spiritual, both energetic and deeply human

The Embodied Yin & Yoga Nidra Training gives teachers and practitioners a clear, accessible framework for working with stillness.

You’ll learn the functional principles of Yin Yoga, how meridian and elemental theory shape the practice, and how to guide long‑held postures safely for different bodies.

The training also covers the structure of Yoga Nidra, including rotation of awareness, breath pathways, opposites, and Sankalpa, so you can confidently deliver sessions that support deep rest and nervous‑system regulation.

This training is intentionally simple in format and rich in content. You’ll gain practical skills you can use immediately: sequencing Yin with purpose, integrating Nidra into classes or workshops, understanding how to hold space, and developing a clear, grounded teaching voice.

It’s a straightforward, well‑structured course that offers genuine depth - giving you the knowledge and confidence to teach Yin and Nidra with clarity, safety, and ease.

My intention is for you to create your own committed daily practice, Sadhana. Through Integration.

My intention is to help you understand the roots, theory, and traditions of yoga. Through Education.

My intention is to teach you how to pass the teachings onto others. Through Teaching Methodology.

50 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRANING COURSE CONTENT

This 50‑hour Embodied Yin + Yoga Nidra Training is designed for yoga teachers called toward the slower, more inward‑turning practices. Upon completion you'll be able to sprinkle elements of Yin, Embodied Awareness and Yoga Nidra in your existing classes or teach a class completely structured around these inward practices.

Course Content

Principles of Yin Yoga: Functional alignment, time‑based loading, and how stillness influences fascia and subtle energetics more than aesthetic shape.
Applied Anatomy & Skeletal Variation: Bone morphology, joint architecture, and understanding how anatomical diversity shapes each student’s unique Yin expression.
Fascia & Connective Tissue Science: Fascial continuity, hydration, and how long‑held postures affect connective tissue and energetic flow.
Meridian Theory & Elemental Philosophy: Five phases/elements, meridian pathways, organ‑emotional correspondences, and how these traditional maps intersect with modern fascial lines.
Energetic Anatomy in Practice: How Yin shapes influence Qi movement, stagnation, release, and the subtle body’s tides.
Meditation Theory & Neurophysiology: Interoception, attentional training, autonomic regulation, and how meditation supports elemental balance and emotional fluidity.
Embodied Experiential Anatomy: Learning anatomy through sensation, proprioception, and interoception; understanding how subjective experience guides Yin practice.
In‑Depth Analysis of Yin Postures: Meridian activation, elemental correspondences, target areas, variations, contraindications, and adapting shapes for different skeletal structures.
Somatic Inquiry & Movement Science: Nervous‑system literacy, somatic inquiry, and techniques that support emotional tides, regulation, and embodied presence.
Foundations of Yoga Nidra - Purpose, history, and Nidra as conscious rest.
Koshas Theory and the five layers of being and how Nidra moves through them.
Methodology - Rotation of awareness, breath pathways, opposites, visualisation, Sankalpa.
Neurophysiology - Brainwave shifts, autonomic regulation, hypnagogic states.
Voice & Delivery - Cadence, tone, pacing, psychological safety.
Sequencing - Designing Nidra sessions for grounding, release, or elemental balance.
Integration - How Yin prepares the body and nervous system for Nidra.
