Yin Yoga Immersion

$340 :: Cost of Training after March 15, 2025
Join us for a 2-day training to learn how to teach Yin Yoga.
Yin Yoga is a passive style of yoga in which poses are held for an extended amount of time in order to release muscular effort and connect into connective tissue. We move out of our Yang (active, heated, muscular, sun) energy and connect more deeply into our Yin (passive, cooling, connective tissue, moon) energy through this practice.
This is a powerful and important practice for each yoga practitioner. Learn how to present this practice mindfully and effectively to your students.
In this training you will learn:
The history and philosophy of Yin Yoga
The anatomical principles of a Yin practice
Alignment principles within the major Yin Yoga poses
Energetic and organ responses within each pose
How to modify poses for varying bodies
The proper use of props in a Yin Yoga practice
How to build an effective Yin Yoga class
How to incorporate Yin Yoga into a flow class
This training is open to anyone interested in sharing Yin Yoga with their clients, students, patients, or themselves.
Those already 200-hour certified will receive a certificate for 15 hours of CEU credits upon completion.
Meet Our Teachers
Bridget Rawls Peterson
Bridget Rawls Peterson, E-PRYT 500, began her yoga practice in college in North Carolina as a compliment to her dance training. She had been a technically trained dancer for her entire life and the power poses really challenged her in a way her body had never been challenged before. When she obtained her BA in Dance Education, she began teaching movement to people of all ages and physical abilities, incorporating many of the yoga poses she had learned into her teachings. She found a fun way to bring poses to children, a way to challenge professional dancers, and even a gentle way to bring movement to the elderly using yoga. When Bridget moved to NYC to pursue her professional dance career, she kept connected to her yoga training and began to explore more into the many styles of yoga. Bridget quickly attached herself to the Vinyasa style because of the similarity to dance it holds. It is a fluid approach to the traditional yoga poses she had begun to love. The precise attention to alignment and breath also helped her to connect deeper to movement within her performing and choreography. While choreographing and performing with a small dance company, Bridget attended the 200-hour certification program at Om Yoga Center in New York City under the direction of Cyndi Lee. While there she began to delve more into meditation and Buddhist spiritual studies as well. She also obtained her Prenatal Certification while studying at Om Yoga under Janice Clarfield and later her deeper Prenatal Training Certification under Leah Hartofelis at Breathe N Flow Yoga . Bridget also completed her 500-hour Yoga Teaching Certification at Om Yoga Center, including her Restorative and Pranayama certifications. She holds her Yin Certification through Wake Up Yoga under the direction of Corinna Benner, her Meditation Certification through Cyndi Lee and David Nichtern and completed her Kids Yoga Certification through Karma Kids Yoga in NYC. She is also proud to be a member of United We Om, a non-profit organization, brining trauma informed yoga to underserved populations. Bridget is the owner and founder of Lucky Elephant Yoga and Wellness. Through her teaching she hopes to inspire her students to see the beauty and joy that is around them and within them through breath and movement.
