Question 1

Will I receive a certification?

Accepted Answer

Yes, upon completion, you’ll receive a Level 1 Yin Yoga Teacher Training Certificate (50 hours).

This training also counts toward Continuing Education (YACEP) hours with both Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia.

Question 2

Is this course registered with Yoga Alliance or Yoga Australia?

Accepted Answer

The course itself is not formally registered as a standalone module with either organisation.

However, your certificate can be used to log 50 hours of continuing education with both Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia.

Question 3

Who is this training for?

Accepted Answer

This training is open to:

Yoga teachers and body work/Shiatsu practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of Yin
Wellness professionals integrating mindfulness and embodiment into their work
Dedicated students wanting to deepen their personal practice

No prior Yin experience is required.
All bodies, ages, and levels of experience are welcome.

Question 4

Do I need to have completed yoga teacher training before attending?

Accepted Answer

No, you do not need to have completed any prior yoga teacher training.

This course is open to anyone with a dedicated interest in Yin Yoga, embodiment, and inner practice.

Question 5

Will this course qualify me to teach Yin Yoga classes publicly?

Accepted Answer

To teach yoga in most studios, a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is generally required.

However, if you hold a Certificate III in Fitness (Group Fitness Instructor) or a Certificate IV in Fitness (Personal Trainer), you may be qualified to offer Yin Yoga classes within your existing scope, depending on the facility’s policies.

This training does not replace a full yoga teacher certification but can support you in offering Yin-based sessions where appropriate.

Question 6

What if I have an injury or limitation?

Accepted Answer

You are absolutely welcome. This training honours individual needs and is based in functional anatomy, which means we support you in adapting postures to suit your unique body.

If you have an injury or limitation, you’ll be guided through safe modifications, and your learning experience will remain rich, embodied, and accessible.

Question 7

Can I attend the training if I’m pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pregnant students are welcome. Yin Yoga can be safely practiced during pregnancy with appropriate modifications, and you’ll be supported in adapting postures to suit your changing body.

Please inform Hugh prior to the training so we can ensure your experience is both safe and supportive. As always, consult your healthcare provider before attending any intensive movement-based course.
