20hr Advanced Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Gemma Vassallo


DATES & Schedule :

Friday 6 November : 14h - 18h

Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 November : 9h - 18h

Functional Anatomy, Flexibility & Pain-Informed Teaching

This advanced training is designed for qualified Yin Yoga teachers who want to refine and elevate the way they teach.

Over 2.5 immersive days, we will explore Yin through a functional and evidence-informed lens, integrating anatomy, flexibility science and pain-informed teaching into a clear and adaptable framework.

This is not a foundational Yin Yoga training. It is an advanced refinement of how you analyse and teach long-held postures.

What We Will Explore

Functional Anatomy & Archetypes

  • Recognising Yin postures as functional archetypes rather than fixed shapes

  • Understanding the skeletal and muscular framework underlying long-held poses

  • Working with structural variation across different bodies

Flexibility, Range of Motion, Mobility & Hypermobility

  • Understanding what flexibility really is — and what it isn’t

  • Refining your understanding of range of motion, mechanical stiffness, stretch tolerance and mobility

  • Exploring the role of intensity in long-held postures

  • Understanding the hypermobility spectrum and its implications for Yin practice

  • Supporting joint integrity through stability-focused teaching and intelligent range management

Pain-Informed Teaching

  • Understanding pain as a complex and individual experience

  • Expanding teaching language, cueing and expectations to better address student experiences

  • Teaching long holds with clarity and responsibility

Training Format

Friday afternoon and full days Saturday and Sunday.

The training includes Yin Yoga asana practices and structured theory sessions, integrating embodied experience with detailed anatomical analysis and teaching application.

Who This Training Is For

This training is suitable for:

  • Qualified yoga teachers with prior Yin Yoga teacher training qualification (minimum 30 hours)

You Will Leave With

  • Greater clarity in how you analyse and teach Yin postures
