The Art of the Hold: Deepening Your Yin Yoga Teaching & Hands-On Approaches

A 6-Hour Intensive Teacher Training with Tracey Coleman,

Yin Yoga asks us to slow down, find our edge, and lean into stillness. But as a teacher, holding that quiet, expansive space for your students requires a unique set of skills, confidence, and physical intuition.

Join veteran instructor Tracey Coleman for an immersive, 6-hour continuing education workshop designed specifically for yoga teachers and advanced practitioners looking to elevate their Yin offerings. This intensive bridges functional anatomy and energetic presence, giving you practical tools to guide safe, transformative, and deeply restorative experiences.

Workshop Details

• Duration: 6 Hours (Includes a short scheduled break)

• Led By: Tracey Coleman

• Who It’s For: Certified Yoga Teachers (RYT-200+), current trainees, and dedicated Yin practitioners looking to transition into teaching.

What You Will Learn & Experience

• The Mechanics of the Hold: Dive deep into the anatomy of connective tissue, the laws of a Yin pose, and how to effectively sequence long-held postures for maximum physical and energetic benefit.

• The Craft of Teaching Yin: Learn how to use your voice, manage silence, and navigate the emotional and mental shifts that arise when students settle into deep stillness.

• Intelligent Hands-On Approaches: Master the art of physical assists in a passive practice. You will learn safe, consensual, and highly supportive tactile adjustments, tracking physical alignment while honoring each student’s unique skeletal boundaries.

• Propping with Purpose: Discover how to creatively utilize blocks, bolsters, and blankets to make advanced poses accessible or to deepen a student’s release without over-stretching.

• Peer Practice & Refinement: Put your new skills into action right away with interactive teaching labs and peer feedback in a supportive learning environment.

What to Bring

• A yoga mat and your favorite notebook/pen.

• Layers of comfortable clothing (as the body cools down dramatically during extended Yin practice).

• A light lunch or snacks for our break.

Walk away with renewed passion for the quiet practice and the practical confidence to support your students physically through every layer of their Yin journey.
