“This experiential education is a sacred invitation to listen deeply, and awaken to the quiet intelligence within. The answers you seek are not found outside of you — they live in the still spaces of your being, waiting to be heard. Through the alchemy of Yin Yoga, mindfulness, Chinese Medicine, and Taoism, we learn to trust the whispers of the soul and to dwell fully in the body as both temple and teacher"
Sheana O'Sullivan, Program Director
The Invitation
There is a quieter way of being.
This Yin Yoga Teacher Training in San Francisco is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with your body and inner world.
More than learning how to teach Yin Yoga,
this training explores what it means to live it.
To soften.
To feel.
To be.
We call this Yin Being.
What This Training Is
This 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in San Francisco is both a professional certification and a deeply personal exploration.
It is a space where structure and intuition meet —
where you will learn the foundations of Yin Yoga while also cultivating your own inner listening.
You will be guided through:
– The principles and methodology of Yin Yoga
– Functional anatomy and the role of fascia
– Meridian theory and the Five Elements
– The art of teaching and holding space
And alongside this…
You will be invited into a slower, more reflective process,
one that allows the teachings to be felt, not just understood.
This training is not about becoming a perfect teacher.
It is about becoming a more present one.

Who This Training Is NOT For? This training may not be for you if: • You’re looking for a fast-paced, workout-style yoga training • You prefer rigid alignment rules over exploration and individuality • You want a purely physical or fitness-based approach • You’re not open to stillness, introspection, or emotional awareness Yin asks us to slow down, to feel, and to listen. If that feels uncomfortable… that’s often where the doorway is—but it does require a willingness to meet yourself there.
