50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

Train within a supportive, small-group environment that encourages embodied awareness, helping you develop a clearer, more intuitive understanding of your body and Yin Yoga practice.

Deepening Your Understanding of the Five Dimensions of Yin Yoga

This training integrates in-depth Chinese Medicine theory, including Taoist philosophy, meridian systems, the visceral organs, and the Five Spirits, exploring the interrelationship between the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and the spiritual experience of Yin Yoga. You will study fascia through both its physical and emotional dimensions, including its relationship with the nervous system and vagus nerve, and the role of fascia neuroscience and pain response in embodied practice.

Throughout the training, we cover applied anatomy with a focus on hip and spinal structure, skeletal variation, ligaments, tendons, and target tissues, supporting informed and adaptable practice. Dedicated Yin Yoga sessions incorporating Meridian Myofascial Release, MyoYin, and AcuYin deepen practical application, alongside the exploration of a wide range of Yin Yoga archetypal variations to refine asana understanding and teaching skill. Complementary breath and meditative practices are used to support the integration of Traditional Yoga tools with the the practice of Yin Yoga.

How This Training Is Taught

This 50-hour Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine training is taught through a balance of theory, embodied practice, and guided reflection, allowing concepts to be understood not only intellectually, but through lived experience.

Each day moves between Yin Yoga practices that explore functional alignment, fascia, and meridian pathways; clear and accessible theory sessions covering Chinese Medicine principles, anatomy, and nervous system awareness; and experiential learning that connects sensation, observation, and understanding. Time is also given for inquiry and integration, supporting reflection, questions, and the application of material to personal practice and teaching.

Teaching is delivered in a small-group setting, allowing for individual attention, thoughtful discussion, and supportive learning.

Who This Training Is For

This 50-hour Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine training is designed for:

• Yoga teachers seeking to deepen their understanding of Yin Yoga, fascia, and Chinese Medicine theory, and to bring greater clarity and confidence into their teaching
• Dedicated practitioners looking for a embodied understanding of Yin Yoga beyond postural practice
• Teachers in training who wish to expand their education through a focused Yin Yoga module grounded in anatomy, energetics, and nervous system awareness
• Practitioners interested in Chinese Medicine philosophy and Meridians, and the 5 dimensions of the Yin Yoga practice
• Students drawn to slower, introspective practices that support nervous system regulation, presence, and long-term sustainability

No medical or therapeutic background is required. All material is taught as educational and experiential, supporting personal practice and teaching development rather than diagnosis or treatment.

A Shared Commitment to Depth, Curiosity, and Care

What Makes This Training Different

Closing Ceremony, Blessing, and Shared Meal

The training concludes with a traditional Balinese blessing led by a local priest, followed by a shared celebratory meal. This closing is offered as a respectful acknowledgement of place, marking completion and transition while honouring the cultural context in which the training is held. Both the ceremony and meal are included as part of the programme.

Passion

This training reflects our long-standing commitment to Yin Yoga education. Through careful planning and thoughtful design, the programme supports a clear and enriching learning experience, guiding students in developing a strong understanding of Chinese Medicine concepts as they are integrated into Yin Yoga practice and teaching.

Exquisite Location

For those drawn to natural surroundings, our beachside studio offers a calm, spacious setting for Yin Yoga study, balancing quiet immersion in nature with easy access to local amenities.

Maximize your time

Throughout the training, you’ll have opportunities to experience Nusa Lembongan through organised dinner outings and optional excursions, with time to enjoy the island’s natural landscape, beaches, and quieter pace alongside the learning process.

Personalized Approach

In this space, it’s a personalized experience. We emphasize personal growth, offering chances for you to share your experiences, gain insights, & explore self-discovery tools. This method aims to boost your personal & professional development, promoting holistic growth.

Choosing Between the 50-Hour and 100-Hour Yin Yoga Trainings

A space to deepen your practice and support the ongoing development of your teaching. These programmes are carefully designed to meet both personal inquiry and professional learning goals.

Key Differences

Teaching Skills
The 50-hour training runs alongside the initial phase of our 100-hour programme and concludes earlier. The 100-hour training continues beyond this point, expanding into a comprehensive teaching toolbox that includes specialised methodology workshops and full-class practicums. These additional components provide hands-on teaching experience, supporting the development of teaching voice, confidence, and real-time application. Participants in the 100-hour training also receive a dedicated Teaching Toolbox resource to support ongoing development beyond the course.

Business & Professional Development
Exclusive to the 100-hour training, this section explores the student–teacher relationship, learning styles, online teaching, and broader professional development. It also includes practical teaching opportunities that are not part of the 50-hour programme, supporting those who wish to further develop their role as a professional yoga teacher.
