Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is there an online option?
No, this training is offered in-person only. The classes are not recorded.
What props will I need?
For this course, there are some additional props you will need to bring to the studio with you. I would make sure you can budget for all of the following props, and have them ready to use by March 11th.
Each day there will be dedicated Q&A time in person. I will ask the group if anyone has questions and will take them one-by-one based on who raises their hand.
What if I need to miss a class, or a few classes?
If you’re ever sick, traveling, have a prior commitment, etc it is no problem to miss a session or a few sessions. Each day’s class will stand on its own as a complete lesson - so while you will miss some of the postures if you miss a class - you will still be able to jump back in without feeling left behind. All of the details of the postures are also included in your manual - so missing a class doesn’t mean you miss any of the written material.
Does this course count toward continuing education with Yoga Alliance?
Yes, if you are already a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance, then upon completion of this course you will receive 30 hours of continuing education credits. I am an E-RYT 500 and an YACEP with Yoga Alliance.
Will I get a certificate upon completion of the course?
Yes! Upon completion of all the course requirements, you will receive a certificate for 30 hours of Yin Yoga Teacher Training.
What if I can’t, or don’t want to, do my 5 minutes a day of homework for this course?
You don’t have to turn in any assignments or homework for this course. So it’s totally ok if you decide to skip your home practice of 5 minutes a day sometimes. No one will know but you. And the truth is, everyone will skip it sometimes! Even 5 minutes on some days just won’t happen.
So, please don’t worry about the homework part. The whole point of Yin Yoga is to learn how to be gentle with yourself. My hope is that you will find your short home practice to be a joy, but if you don’t … there’s no punishment or consequences from me.
What if I’ve taken your Yin Yoga training in the past? Can I take it again?
Of course! My teaching is always evolving and I love when students return year after year.

What props will I need?
For this course, there are some additional props you will need to bring to the studio with you. I would make sure you can budget for all of the following props, and have them ready to use by March 11th.
- A starter kit from Tune Up Fitness, which includes 2 yoga therapy balls, 2 therapy balls PLUS, an alpha ball, and a coregeous ball. Here's a link where you can buy it. (If this is not financially feasible for you, YogaSole has loaners that you can use during training. Just let us know. )
- A foam roller (any size, length or texture will do. An 18 inch x 6 inch smooth one without any ridges or bumps is the least expensive and also most beginner friendly! Here’s an example.)
