22 day and 22 night 200 Hour Vinyasa Krama & Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Join us for an amazing 200 hour Transformative Vinyasa and Yin yoga teacher training at Yoga Dunia, Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia. Minutes from the beach in a peaceful location, this is the perfect location to dive deeper into your Yoga and become qualified to teach.
We are offering a combined equally balanced course where you will learn all the Vinyasa and Yin essentials to both personalize your own practice and give you the skills and qualification to teach both Yin and Yang quality yoga classes.
The training includes Vinyasa Krama and Yin asana, philosophy, practical interactive learning labs, and student practical teaching labs. Your own practice will deepen as you apply the theory of both yin and yang yoga to yourself and have the opportunity of practicing teaching both of these styles to others. By the end of this intensive course, you will be able to confidently teach both a Vinyasa and Yin class.
Vinyasa Krama was created by Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, considered the father of modern yoga or the most influential yoga teachers of the 20th century. The Sanskrit word Vinyasa is the principle of synchronizing movement with the breath, where each movement is led by the inhalation or the exhalation. Krama literally means steps or stages. Vinyasa Krama means a step by step progression into something, or to a certain goal. This is a practice that takes us from simple to more complex asanas and also from gross or external physical movement to subtle & internal connection with ourselves. It allows the practitioner to pay close attention to how the body is feeling at every moment and respecting it accordingly, inviting variations/ modifications to suit everyone’s individual needs and specific goals.
Effectively it is a slow progressive flow towards a harmonious unification of the breath, the body and the mind with endless benefits.
Claire Green – Yin Teacher Trainer
Senior Yoga teacher, yoga therapist and passionate yin yogi, from her first encounter with yin yoga she was hooked, and fell in love with the pure raw healing potential of the practice and the contrast between the strength and power of a yang practice compared to the grace and surrender of a yin practice. Organically submerging into Yin Yoga in particular turned Claire’s life around in terms of healing, over-coming the many layers and attributes of social anxiety and dealing with associated physical pain and in-balance, and reconnecting with herself as well as with others. As a highly sensitive child yoga enabled a tapping into skills to help others rather than feeling dis-connected with the world. Passionate about how yoga empowers people in the healing process; rather, than being a passive recipient of treatment, the student is actively engaged in the path to their own well-being. Claire sees her role as guide you to listen to your own subtle messages your body gives and directing you as to how to respond offering tools for re-balance and teaching you the way to implement these tools within your own teaching. Claire has over 1,200 hours of teacher training and 15 years of teaching experience; completing 500 hours with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2005; Birthlight pregnancy yoga training in 2009. She gained the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Course Teacher Trainer certification in 2011 delivering British Wheel of Yoga training.

Vinyasa (Yang): You will gain a theoretical understanding and clear framework for sequencing a vinyasa class that cultivates creativity, independence, authenticity and allows you to grow as teachers and students in the practice of yoga. We will then explore how the different asanas and other practices can be sequenced and explore in-depth the characteristics of each asana family and the other yogic tools including meditation, pranayama, mudra, chanting etc. This will include their effects on the physical and energetic body, the mind, benefits, yogic physiology (chakras, Vayu’s, koshas etc), western physiology (nervous systems etc), contraindications, alignment principles, etc). We will be exploring vital teaching skills and how to both deliver information effectively and encourage learning in a creative and safe manner.
Yin: You will learn how to take a shape that suits your skeletal frame and softening into the shape to engage your meridian system and release stagnant energy. The teacher will guide you on how to go through a journey of understanding your energetic system. By learning these teaching skills and how to instinctively tune into your own and student’s needs will lead you to practice and then teach the art of self-adjustment accordingly, so that students can understand how to tune into their own energetic body to create balance within the practice. We will be breaking down each popular Yin asana, discussing variations and use of props, the rebound and rest period and how to use a mindful meditation with your practice. We will be exploring Yin teaching skills, voice and tone and how to use observational skills to skillfully interact with students.
