WHAT IS YIN YOGA?
Yin yoga is a deep, meditative, and reflective practice that links an asana practice to ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles. While “yang” yoga focuses on your muscles, yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues, like fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. This practice gives you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional styles of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts. Traditional Chinese Medical Theory believes there are pathways of Qi (energy, like Prana) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.
YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
This training will prepare you with the tools to lead an informative and transformational Yin Yoga class. By experiencing the history, theory, and physical components of Yin Yoga in depth, you will be able to effectively and confidently lead a practice to suit the season, area of the body, mood of the world around us, and guide your students and yourself through it all.

About Sam Cagman
Sam found yoga and acupuncture at the exact same time as the yoga studio she began her practice in also hosted an acupuncturist, Erin Kumpf, and her transformation bloomed. Sam saw the immense benefits of both practices, and has been a student of yoga and patient of acupuncture ever since. Sam's 200 hour teacher training was completed at Pure Yoga in 2016, and in 2017 she completed a Yin Yoga training with Karen Mandell and Restorative Yoga training with Jillian Pransky. Sam has also been working at Erin Kumpf Acupuncture & Herbs since 2017. Working closely with yoga students as well as being involved in an acupuncture clinic has helped Sam to share this practice with others as a tool for reflection, balance, and release. Because of this unique combination of skill sets, she brings an important and interesting perspective into this training with a depth of knowledge of the meridians and acupressure points, and will be teaching you how to incorporate these two layers into your yin yoga practice. She is incredibly excited to share her passion for this practice and sacred knowledge with all of you.
