What You Will Gain from This Yin Yoga Teacher Training
In this Yin Yoga Teacher Training, you step into the quiet and profound universe of Yin Yoga in a way that strengthens your personal practice while giving you a broad and responsible foundation for teaching others.
The program includes not only classical Yin Yoga, but also Somatic Yin, MyoYin, and several variations that provide a nuanced understanding of how Yin Yoga can be adapted to different bodies, needs, and conditions.
You develop a deep understanding of Yin Yoga philosophy and principles and learn how slowness, support, and stillness create transformation — not merely as theory, but as embodied experience integrated through practice.
The bodywork goes in depth through functional anatomy, fascia, the lymphatic system, and the nervous system. You learn how long-held postures influence connective tissue, joints, meridian pathways, and the autonomic nervous system, and how this knowledge forms a responsible foundation for both personal practice and teaching.
Breathwork, meditation, pranayama, and mantra are natural parts of the training. You learn how to integrate these elements into Yin Yoga classes to support regulation, balance, and inner calm — and how to communicate them in a grounded and accessible way.
Teaching practice is an essential part of the program. You learn to guide Yin Yoga with clarity and presence and receive support in finding your authentic voice as a teacher — rooted in both embodied experience and professional understanding.
Curriculum – Yin Yoga Teacher Training Content
The training is structured as a coherent journey through both the foundational and expanded dimensions of Yin Yoga. Each module contributes knowledge and experience that together form a solid foundation for a Yin Yoga Teacher Training.
Yin Yoga Philosophy and Core Principles
You explore the roots of Yin Yoga, its core principles, and the life philosophy behind the practice. The focus is on integrating Yin Yoga as a living and applicable part of both daily life and teaching.
Yin Yoga, Somatic Yin, and MyoYin
You learn classical Yin postures as well as Somatic Yin and MyoYin, exploring how different approaches support the body at various levels. You learn to adapt the practice to individual needs through variations and conscious use of props.
Functional Anatomy, Fascia, Lymphatic System, and Nervous System
You develop a deep understanding of connective tissue, fascial networks, lymphatic function, and the role of the nervous system in Yin Yoga. This knowledge allows you to teach with greater precision, responsibility, and embodied intelligence.
Meridian Theory, Chakra System, and the Five Elements
The training introduces meridian pathways and organ relationships from Taoist philosophy as well as the chakra system. You learn how energetic work, Yin Yoga, and awareness interconnect — and how this understanding can be integrated into teaching.
Breathwork, Pranayama, Mantra, and Meditation
You work with pranayama, mantra, and meditation as integrated parts of Yin Yoga practice. You learn how these tools support regulation, depth, and inner balance — both for yourself and your students.
Teaching Methodology and Sequencing
You learn to structure Yin classes with attention to pacing, intention, posture selection, and energetic coherence. You work with verbal cueing, voice modulation, and rhythm to create a safe and present teaching space.
Practicum – Teaching Practice
You are given the opportunity to teach in a supportive environment and receive qualified feedback. The practicum integrates theory and practice and strengthens your role as a Yin Yoga teacher.
Curriculum:
- Yin Yoga poses, variations, yin flow, somatic yin and myo yin
- Basic knowledge about the five Taoist elements (water, wood, fire, earth and metal)
- Basic introduction to Chinese Medicine
- The theory of Yin and Yang
- Basic knowledge about the meridians and chi
- Sequencing and themes when teaching Yin Yoga

Beyond Classical Yin Yoga
On our Yin Yoga Teacher Training, you will learn much more than traditional Yin.
We go deeper, offering unique approaches and practices that expand your teaching toolbox:
Yin Flow – integrating gentle movement with stillness, creating a fluid and meditative experience.
Somatic Yin – exploring body awareness, nervous system regulation, and deep inner release through mindful practices.
Myo Yin – combining Yin Yoga with myofascial release techniques to unlock tension and restore balance.
Rare Variations – discover posture variations and teaching methods you won’t find in many other trainings.
This training is designed to give you a broader, richer perspective on Yin Yoga – so you can teach with authenticity, creativity, and confidence.

What former students are saying
I can highly recommend a teacher training with Art of Yoga They are present, mindful and highly skilled and teach from the heart. You can expect an incredibly inner journey
“Brankica and Drazen are very special and incredible people and yoga teachers. They are extremely capable, and they clearly know what they are talking about. Furthermore, they are warm people who are truly interested in each and every student. It is a unique experience, which I cannot recommend enough - whether you attend one of their classes or their trainings.”
“The yoga teacher training at Art of Yoga was extraordinary. I have gained so much more than I ever expected by diving into the ancient yogic philosophies. I keep gaining more and more self awareness, balance and so much more - as long as I just keep using the tools and practices that I learned Drazen and Brankica welcome you with open arms and they are ready to support and guide you - both during and after the training. I highly recommend doing a training with them
“The yoga teacher training with Art of yoga is the best gift I have ever given myself. I was already on a personal development journey when I signed up for the training, however, the training gave me new dreams and insights. A lot of us know yoga as physical poses and say ‘I practise yoga’ - I did too. However, yoga is so much more than some poses. My training with Art of Yoga introduced me to the ancient yogic philosophies which contain so much wisdom and teach us how to live a life with acceptance, love and harmony. Brankica and Drazen create a safe, loving, mindful and professional environment for learning, which I have appreciated very much. I am deeply grateful to have studied with these two. Thank you so much. Thank you for encouraging and supporting me - I now have the courage to start my own business and live my dreams. Love, Annamette.”
“Our life path has already been decided for us However, oftentimes we don’t see the signs, because we aren’t listening to our heart. Instead we are racing with a hundred miles per hour in the search for recognition and happiness. I signed up for my training with Art of Yoga to gain skills as a yoga teacher and deepen my own practice, but I got so much more out of the training. I am so grateful I signed up for this training. Brankica and Drazen are both disciplined in their teaching of both the physical practice and the philosophical part. This means you don’t just end up being able to do a few poses to perfection - you are also able to give students hands-on adjustments. Everything I learned during the training I have incorporated into my own practice, and it is the DNA of my yoga studio, Urban Yoga in Esbjerg. Signing up for the training with Art of Yoga was the first step to listening more to my heart. Since then I have stepped more and more into my light. Thank you Brankica and Drazen for making me stop for a moment and take a different route. ”
