Yin vs. Restorative The Ultimate Zen Faceoff YTT Workshop November 2, 2024 1pm-6pm

Can Yin be Restorative? Is Restorative also Yin? What in the heck is Yang?

In this training we will dive into the differences and similarities of these two practices, learn about the connective tissue of the body, how to teach with a Functional Anatomy mindset and how these practices support a healthy nervous system. There will be learning and discussion and lots of practice time mixed in.

In 2022 she became a registered "teacher of teachers" with Yoga Alliance, earning her YACEP and is also an e-500hr RYT.
