50 Hour Yin Immersion and Teacher Training
“During my initial 200hr yoga teacher training, Tamara did a brief introduction to Yin yoga, which was, in fact, MY introduction to Yin. I fell in love with the practice immediately and began attending her weekly classes. When she offered her Yin teacher training, I think I was the first to sign up for it. Tamara combines detailed theory and history of the practice with guidance to teach it in a mindful, beautiful way. I would recommend her teacher training to anyone considering expanding their teaching to include the practice of Yin as well as those who simply want to immerse themselves in this incredible practice.”
“I am so happy I took Tamara’s Yin Yoga certification course. Her teaching style and obvious love of Yin Yoga was evident in her honour of the practice. She shares her vast knowledge, explaining the fine details of the Yin practice, with a refreshing sense of humour. I teach Yin to this day mostly because of Tamara’s guidance showing me the true joy of Yin yoga. If you want to teach Yin I would highly recommend you learn from Tamara. She’s amazing!”

Whether you are a new or seasoned yin practitioner, or a teacher interested in learning and practicing the subtleties of creating and holding a yin space, this session is for you.
Anyone can learn the poses, but it takes an understanding of what the practice can bring to the breath, body, and mind in order to facilitate the softening and yielding required in your, or your student's, practice.
Through the study and discussion of asana, anatomy, meridians, breathwork, and meditation we will craft Yin sessions that are accessible to all body types, target specific areas, and take into consideration modifications using adjustments and props.
We will brainstorm and discuss the creation of space, in the room as well as the body, and practice holding that space, giving comfort and encouragement to those practicing.
This program is accessible to those searching for the skills and confidence to lead a Yin practice, as well as those practitioners wishing for a deeper understanding of Yin.
For those who wish certification and/or are using these hours towards a 300 or 500 training, a final practicum will be required.
Please note, you must already hold a 200hr yoga certification for this training to apply towards any additional certification hours. Please reach out to your studio/teacher to see if this training could apply
Please reach out to discuss if this training is for you and to register.

Frequently asked questions
.: Do I need to be a yoga teacher to attend? Absolutely not!! This is a great session for those wishing to deepen their yin practice and gain the confidence to practice solo or online, or to simply inform and guide their own adjustments and variations when in a studio class.
.: Do I need to teach yin during the training? Only if you are already a yoga teacher and are looking to be certified in Yin. If not, you still participate by being a student!
