This NEW & REVISED Yin Yoga Training is a certified course that can be used to develop yourself as an all-encompassing Yoga Teacher and Practitioner! Open to all levels. This Training Will Include:

Yin Yoga & Meridian Theory
Learn & experience how Chi moves through a network of energy pathways called ‘Jing-luo’ and how it interconnects and encapsulates all tissues and cells. 12 main meridians plus 8 minor meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) will be explored in the yin yoga practice. In addition, the yogic system of nadis will be examined and specific yoga pranayama breathing techniques will be prescribed.

Essentials for Teaching Yin Yoga
You will learn specific postures and how to sequence them for organ health. We will explore the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the organs and how to bring them into balance – based on the Daoist principle of Yin & Yang. Modifications with precise and correct alignment cues will be learned as well as The Sustainable Yin Approach for teaching and practicing in a safe & effective way.

Yin Yoga & Mindfulness
Cultivating a practice of mindfulness, stillness and presence is one of the most important aspects of yoga and can be easily integrated with a Yin Yoga Practice. We will unpack the four foundations of mindfulness. Understanding these will help to develop a strong meditation practice. Studies have found that mindfulness increases positive emotions and cognitive function while reducing negative emotions and stress.

Yin Yoga Philosophy & Foundations
Using specific yoga & ayurveda texts we will explore the causes of disease and the appropriate remedies to restore physical, mental and emotional health.

Upon completion of both Level 1 & Level 2 you will receive a 30 hr Yin Yoga certification form the Sacred Seed Yoga School enabling you to teach yin yoga. Open to all levels, this program is designed for everyone and anyone wanting to make a positive change for well-being.

Credits or CEUs from this course can be used towards the Yoga Alliance as continuing education.

Ayurveda Detox & Day Retreat

Day/Time: 2025 Dates TBA from 9am – 5 pm
Venue/Location:  Edmonton

Facilitators:  Jai Kai & Aman Rai  Cost: $125 per level

Embark on a day of purification and balance with our Ayurvedic Detox Retreat. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, offers holistic healing techniques that cleanse the body, mind, and soul. We’ll kickstart the day at 9am with an Introduction to Ayurveda and Dosha Assessment, enabling you to understand your unique body constitution and the ways to balance it. * If you already know some of this, the review of Prakruti and Vikruti will be very beneficial.

Following the assessment, we’ll move into the Ayurvedic Cooking and Nutrition Session. Here, you’ll learn about nutritious, dosha-balancing foods and techniques to cleanse toxins from your body.

After lunch, our Ayurvedic Self-Care Rituals Workshop will guide you through practices like dry brushing, oil pulling, and making our own nutritional & herbal remedies, all aimed at promoting detoxification and rejuvenation.

Later in the afternoon, we’ll indulge in a Yoga and Pranayama Session, complementing our Ayurvedic practices with physical postures and breathwork tailored to your dosha type.

The retreat will come to a close with an Evening Meditation and Reflection Session at 5pm, allowing you to absorb the day’s teachings and insights. This retreat, with its focus on cleansing and balance, is a fantastic opportunity to reset your health, refine your habits, and reconnect with your innate vitality.

In the Ayurvedic Cooking and Nutrition Session, we’ll not only learn about the importance of nutritious, dosha-balancing foods but also get hands-on experience making ghee and Kitchari.

Ghee, a clarified butter, is a staple in Ayurvedic cooking known for its nourishing properties. We’ll guide you through the process of slow-simmering butter to create this golden, flavorful cooking fat, explaining its myriad health benefits along the way.

Kitchari, a comforting mélange of basmati rice and mung dal, is traditionally used in Ayurvedic detox diets. We’ll teach you how to prepare this simple, yet nutritionally complete dish, and how to tweak the recipe according to your dosha.

These hearty, wholesome snacks will fuel you throughout the day, further enhancing the detoxification and rejuvenation process. Get ready to expand your culinary repertoire and discover the healing power of Ayurvedic cooking!
