[Image: Yin Yoga practice]

Level 2 is 25 hours over three days and the second part of the 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher training. You deepen Yin Yoga with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), get to know the meridians and learn how Yin Yoga can support people with pain. The training is taught in German.

The requirement is Level 1 with Mona or another teacher. If you already know Yin Yoga and are interested in TCM and pain management, you can also take Level 2 on its own. To teach, we recommend a yoga teacher training of at least 200 hours.
