A 25-Hour Somatic Yin Yoga Training & Retreat
A trauma-informed approach to deepening your practice and developing your teaching skills.
Join Elaine Clark in Bali for an immersive training bringing together Yin yoga, functional anatomy, traditional meridian theory, and somatic exploration.
Designed for yoga teachers and those seeking a deeper personal practice, this training explores both how we practice and why—from the tissues and joints involved in a posture to the ways attention, sensation, and individual experience shape our response.
Through guided practices and practical workshops, you’ll explore foundational Yin postures, experiment with adaptations, and learn to create purposeful sequences for yourself or your students.
A somatic approach runs throughout: learn to notice internal sensations, explore movement, and use that information to guide your choices in practice.
Alongside the 25 hours of learning, you'll have time to rest, connect, and enjoy Bali.
