"Jennifer is a master teacher with a great command of the topic, skill, and learning process. She demonstrates wisdom of knowing and integration of practice.

She fully embodies her teachings and is someone I would study with again in the future.

I now better understand and value the importance of sustained holds in the poses and the integration of proper breathing. Thank you. Namaste & Metta!"



"I would recommend this course. I feel like I learned more for mindfulness practice in general and inspiration to work with meridians when teaching yin. It's a lovely, thought-out course with not only yin, but with great info on mindfulness and meridians. I also like that I could download the pdf's, audios & videos and that you have a background in TCM ...that's what drew me to your training."

"I absolutely loved Jennifer's course! Her approach to Yin was beautiful and she provided more information than I expected to receive. Not only that but her suggestions for what to take a deeper look into to expand the practice were inspirational.
I am happy that continued access to the course is available since it was overflowing with details. I can only imagine how reviewing it again in the coming weeks and months will only strengthen my practice and teachings. One of the things I appreciated most about the course is how many variations Jennifer provided for each pose. It will really come in handy since my students are mostly beginner and less flexible. It will allow me to teach in a way that is accessible to all levels, which will certainly help me feel more confident as a teacher. If you are considering learning Yin, I highly recommend you start with this. Jennifer is an incredible teacher and I am so grateful I came across her course!"

"I very much liked that it was broken up into many small chunks to permit doing a little at a time. This was very helpful as I work full time and did this program on days off or evenings or mornings when I had the time. I really liked all of the asana practices. I would recommend this course. I found it manageable for my schedule, had confidence in the impressive academic background of the instructor, and found it very accessible."



“I found I have so much information in this course which I truly appreciate! I also appreciate the Yin classes in this course, it gave me great examples and ideas on how I can do the sequences and as well modifications for every pose. I found what I was looking for - I understand more about meridians and some other details that I didn't know before this course, and I'm sure I can slowly start to teach Yin more confidently using all the knowledge from the course. Thank you Jennifer so much for your great work and this great course ! Hugs !! :)"

    "I feel like I have more tools as a teacher and a practitioner of yin yoga (and it forced me to take the time to do some self practice on days when I might have not really felt like it!). I enjoyed the variety of instructional methods, the knowledge videos, practice videos, and audio meditations. I would recommend this course. It was easy to follow along with and well prepared. I enjoyed it and felt like I had lots of time to absorb what I was learning and practice."



    “Yes, absolutely I would recommend the course. It gave me the knowledge of the postures, organ benefits and meridians, as well as breathing and mindfulness techniques. I’ve enjoyed that it was simple, clear, and very complete. Thank you very much."

    "I thought Jennifer's way of presenting was so precise and clear it was easy to follow and actually retain the knowledge. I loved her videos. I had never done an online training certification and wasn't sure how it would work but I actually love that I can go back and watch the videos at any time to review. I think I really benefited from the history of yin yoga as Jennifer explained it as well. And adding the meridians tied it all together for me in a way that made me fall in love with it. I would definitely recommend this course! I will continue to follow Jennifer and her videos and special classes. I love her teaching style. Her guided meditations really resonate with me. Not forcing or manipulating the breath but spending time exploring it and studying it was really helpful for me."



    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:


    + Will I have access to the videos and training after the program?

    Yes! After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for the lifetime of the program across any and all devices you own. Plus, many of the videos and audios are downloadable (which means you keep them forever!).

    + Can I go at my own pace? What if I want to do the course later?

    The course is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.

    + Will I receive a certificate at the end of the program?

    Yes! We can send you a 30 hour certificate for Mindful Yin Yoga at your request when you complete the program.

    + Can I use this program towards yoga accreditation?

    Yes! Mindful Yin Yoga Online can be used towards continuing education credits with the Yoga Alliance.

    + Does this program certify me to teach yoga?

    Generally, yoga teachers complete at least a 200-hour yoga teacher training (which usually involves an in-person component). For those people who do not have any other yoga training, but are wishing to teach yoga, Mindful Yin Yoga Online does not satisfy those requirements. You can, however, use this course to specifically learn how to teach yin yoga or develop your yin yoga teaching. Hours can also be put towards continuing education credits with organizations like the Yoga Alliance.

    + Will there be support during the course?

    Yes! Our support team is always available. The training itself is designed to be a comprehensive and self-guiding program. If you would like additional personal connection and support, be sure to choose the payment option which includes a 30 min. video call with Jennifer to ask any questions that may come up. Jennifer is also available for longer sessions and mentorship at an additional cost and commitment.

    + Can I study with Jennifer in person?

    Yes! Jennifer offers training at various locations around the world. Check out her schedule and sign up for her mailing list for updates. And if you have a studio or community that would like to host Jennifer’s training please contact our team.

    + I have more questions about the course.

    Please email us at [email protected] with any questions you have. We'd love to help.

    + What is yin yoga?

    Yin Yoga is a very gentle style of yoga practice that puts pressure on the connective tissues of the body in order to open restrictions physically and energetically. Most postures are done on the floor and are held for a longer period of time, sometimes using props such as blankets. These postures encourage more flexibility and encourage the energetic meridians to open.

    "I liked the different postures demonstrated, along with the corresponding props that went with them. I also liked learning about the meridians and their corresponding organs. After Mindful Yin Yoga Online I’m better at teaching yin, recommending props for class, and I’m better at personal practice and meditation. I would recommend this course. It teaches yin thoroughly and can be used as continuing education credits for the yoga alliance."



    "I have greatly enjoyed my weeks of training with you. I particularly enjoyed learning the meridian systems and 5 elements. This aspect alone, has increased my understanding of ALL yoga asana. I have grown confident in my knowledge of the meridian systems and I'm now conscious of the meridians in my yoga practice. Jennifer's course gave me confidence to add yin to my teaching schedule and brought greater awareness to my physical movement, on and off the mat. Yin yoga has certainly taken my teaching and practices to an entirely new level. I have learnt so much, about myself, and the body! - ITS ALL SO AWESOME! Thank you for all that you have shared with me, and many others throughout this training!

    "I specifically liked the information about Meridians. I benefited from Mindful Yin Yoga Online because I could take the training at my pace, and watch the video as many times as I wanted until I fully understood it.

    “Yes, I would recommend the course. It has added so much to my daily meditation, teachings, and personal practice. I enjoyed the rhythm and structure of the course. I loved the variations and possible modifications. The topics of meridians, 5 elements, and the mindful meditations were a delight. I would like to highlight the care from the support team through the whole length of the course. All of my enquires were replied to and sorted. This is an important point to highlight because sometimes online courses don't have proper support. I love that doing the course online gave me the chance of studying from home and at my own pace.”

Jennifer’s teachings are clear and balanced and I think that this teaching has come to me at the ‘just the right time’. Loving every second and so grateful to work at my own pace. Thank you for putting this course together."



    “I would recommend this course because it was very informative and professional. All of my previous training was done in classes and I wasn’t sure about online, but this was a pleasant surprise and well worth the time.
    I really enjoyed all aspects of the course, but specifically the videos with the practices. I benefited from the course because I learned about the meridians and the proper poses for yin practice. I meditate regularly and I taught mindfulness in school, but this material was also beneficial as both a reminder, and for exploring different meditations. Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing what else you have to offer:)"
