why yin is (and you are) different
this workshop will challenge you to investigate the why of how you practice or teach, and ask questions that may not have occurred to you to consider, so that you can truly realise your own practice or teaching with clarity and confidence.
this is also a celebratory workshop: a celebration of the unique anatomy that is you. we often say we are different... here i want to show you that your anatomy truly is unique... and celebrate it!
in this workshop, we dive into what makes yin a different form of yoga and why you should practice, how you should practice and what you need to know it to practice or teach it well.
a deeply functional practice
yin (and yoga) has become incredibly popular over the last few years. yin's long held yin yoga poses stress and stimulate the body's tissues in a unique way. to be able to gain the full benefit of yin, dhugal will share you the fundamentals, the building blocks: form & function - and these fundamentals will influence all your vinyasa yoga, hatha yoga, even meditation.
attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about dhugal's upcoming edinburgh yin yoga and variable anatomy teacher training, 2023.
i'm in. i'd like to join.

schedule
2 - 3.30pm
yin yoga - a functional practice: a celebration of your unique anatomy
&
3.45 - 6pm
- workshop: the theory of yin. why we practice, how we practice
- the variable anatomy of yoga. we are all anatomically different. a dive into the anatomy knowledge every yoga teacher should have.
what you'll learn
one - function: a non-muscular practice
discover why we practice slowly, gently, why we hold long and why we don't engage muscles, what other tissues (and bodily aspects) we are working with.
two - form: how we practice
we have differing personalities, are emotionally different.... and physically different (differing hair color, heights and weights, etc) and much more. this difference runs deep. a way of doing a yoga pose for one person may be harmful or disastrous for another. come learn the anatomy of difference.
three - yin is different!
learn why yin yoga is different from other yoga traditions, coming from china, not india... and what that means. ask questions! in our q&a ask me why yin totally changed my yoga practice (and my life), and how it could help yours and the people you work with.
critical knowledge for all yoga teachers
i know when i started teaching yoga I never expected I would become an anatomy or yin specialist! but when I found my teacher and had yin explained to me thoroughly, everything changed. i'd like you to have the same knowledge. yin yoga works on fascial tissue. everyone knows that. but.... how to do that is the tricky thing.
so. let's begin!
in this workshop, i will share with you the most important distinction to make when thinking about yin.
form...what are you trying to achieve? is it a shape, a pose... or is it something else?
yoga today is very goal orientated. i want to refocus your goals around what yoga is really about, finding peace and equanimity in your heart & mind. this is done by letting go of how yoga poses should look and becoming an expert in how they feel.
yin is simple... but profound
there are less than 30 poses. poses are held a long time. and i'm gonna show you how you can begin to know what is the intention of yin! it is not rocket science. in our time we will dive right in so that you know what is supposed to happen during a yin practice.
Emma
It has been so good to study with you and I look forward to more in the future! I think back to when I first started with you in 2018 and can see how much I have changed and grown, so much of that is due to the practice and what I learn through studying with you
- thank you.
Fiona
The depth of anatomy, and variable anatomy specifically has changed my Life perception in the most positive way... I feel I can create an environment that is safe, adaptable, and encouraging people to get to know themselves better.
i'm in. i'd like to join.
