200 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course In Nepal

YTT Courses & Yoga Retreats in the Nepal

Why choose Nepal for your Yoga Teacher Training Course?

Nepal may appear small on the map sandwiched between these two enormous countries since it shares borders with China and India.

However, it’s truly pretty large—possibly larger than the Nepali yoga spirit! It is a country where you can achieve awareness with each step you take. Whether trekking through a remote village, exploring a massive temple, or scaling Mount Everest, Nepal is renowned for its ethereal, spiritual atmosphere.

Not to mention that going on a yoga retreat to Nepal is one of the most amazing things you can do. This land contains jungle wildlife, golden temples, unique ceremonies, and heritage sites. It is the ideal location for a yoga holiday, from its humid woodland plains to the freezing alpine summits.

To give you an idea of the spiritual atmosphere surrounding here, remember that the birthplace of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is Lumbini, in southern Nepal. It is regarded as the birthplace of yoga in India and has a rich Hindu culture that has enhanced the yoga concept since its inception.

Nepalis are well known for their warm personalities; they are great hosts, constantly have a smile, and live each day with optimism and delight. Undoubtedly, any yogi may use a method on and off the mat.

However, this cosmopolitan nation is not limited to its spiritual undertones. There are many complementary activities to enjoy while on a yoga vacation in this region, which is home to several highest peaks on Earth.

Remember that eight of the ten tallest mountains in the world are here. This entails beautiful scenery for practicing your asanas, clean air for pranayama, and various hiking and yoga retreats that will give your practice new depth.

Anyone looking for tranquility, serenity, wholesome cuisine, yoga instruction and training, peace of mind, and an internal perspective is welcome at the 100-hour program. It is not a social vacation hotspot but a place to discover one’s center and relax the senses.

What is Yin Yoga & What will you learn?

Yin yoga has been described to be a “new yet ancient” style of yoga. It is so because even though majority of what it’s known about yin yoga in the Western world today it has been developed in the 1980’s in USA, the practice of yin yoga is actually based on ancient Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophies and principles. The ancient Chinese believed that there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.

While more dynamic,“yang” styles of yoga (like Ashtanga Vinyasa) focus on the muscles, yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues, like fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It is a slower and more meditative practice which will give you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other styles of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

In a yin practice we hold floor streches for a minimum of 90 seconds up to about 8 or 10 minutes. There are plenty of physical benefits that you will achieve by developing a regular yin practice, but there are just as many mental benefits too: you will lengthen your connective tissues which in terms will help you to increase flexibility, it will boost your circulation and reduce your stress level (just to name few of the many benefits).

During your yin TTC you will be practicing thematic yin classes twice a day, you will learn about the five elements theory and the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and you also will deepen your knowledge about sequencing and how to modify the yin asanas during the “art of teaching” classes.

Pranayama

Pranayama is an ancient breath technique that originates from yogic practices using which you can control every juncture of your life. Some pranayama techniques you will learn in this course are:

• Surya & Chandra Bhedana
• Ujjayi Breath
• Sitkari
• Sitali
• Bhramari
• Anulom Vilom
• Kapalbhati & Bhastrika
