About the core components of Quiesce Yin Yoga Training...
Yin Yoga A meditative and introspective practice, yin yoga focuses on holding postures for extended periods, allowing deep release in connective tissues and access to the subtle energetic body. This practice fosters stillness and inner awareness, supporting both physical and energetic balance. Somatic Yoga Somatic yoga is 'yoga from the inside', body-guided movements (rather than an adhering to an external form) which reconnect the body and mind, help develop sensory awareness and restore movement patterns. It supports nervous system regulation, enhances embodiment, and integrates subtle shifts in perception and alignment. Yogic Energetics & Subtle Body Theory The subtle body is the energetic matrix that extends beyond the physical form, shaping our awareness, emotions, and vitality. The subtle body is composed of prana (life force), chakras, and nadis (energy channels), it is the bridge between our physical and mental and spiritual states. This training delves into ancient yogic models of energy, exploring how they can be applied in modern practice. By understanding these forces, we cultivate greater harmony within and expand our awareness beyond the known self. Somatic Theory (Nervous System & Mind-Body Connection) Somatic practices guide us into self-awareness through movement, breath, and stillness, helping regulate the nervous system. By tuning into our inner experience, we cultivate deeper resilience, emotional balance, and ease in movement and breath. Yin Sequencing & Mandala Mapping This training introduces mandala mapping as a way of designing balanced, intentional yin sequences for our own practice or to teach and share. The approach integrates both energetic and anatomical considerations to create holistic and transformative practices. Verbal and Tactile Cuing Both voice and touch are powerful healers. Learn to use your voice mindfully and intentionally to facilitate and guide others to calmness, rest and safe self-enquiry. The power of touch - both energetic and tactile - subtly and powerfully softens and soothes. Asana Clinics Our bodies are to be honoured and revered just as they are. The beauty of Yin is that the nuances of our body as it is now, is respected. There is a yielding, softening into the poses of Yin, without force or expectation. We explore the poses and find the variations and props which support us in our practice. Supporting Elements In addition to the core teachings, this training integrates sound, mantra and breathwork, all of which are interwoven into the sessions.
