Yin Yoga Teacher Training, Thun - Switzerland, Level 1

Yin Yoga Teacher Training Level 1 in Thun – the foundation for teaching Yin Yoga

The foundation training is 25 hours over three days and the first part of the 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher training. You learn Yin Yoga from a functional perspective, practise all 35 Yin asanas and build your own Yin class. The goal is for you to be able to teach a Yin class with all 35 asanas. The training is taught in German.

It is suited to yoga teachers, yoga practitioners and body therapists, and to anyone looking for a balancing, meditative practice. To teach, we recommend a yoga teacher training of at least 200 hours.
