Yin Flow & Somatic Movement
3 day training with Simon Rowe

Let Yin flow
Yin yoga is often associated with stillness but during this training you will learn how to cultivate Yin energy through gentle movement practices as has been done for thousands of years. This training offers a fluid approach to Yin and restorative Yoga that integrates breath, somatic movement and fascia nourishing flows.

Who is it for?
Experience the benefits of breath based, conscious movement as part of your yin oriented practice. Learn how to integrate restorative yoga poses, somatic movement and gentle lunar yoga flows that are done close to the ground. Learn how to move from the energy of breath to recharge and circulate prana throughout your body. Connect your breath to your movement to support your rejuvenation during deeply nourishing sequences.

Expand your understanding of Yin and fascia
Modern fascia research by the leading fascia scientists of our time highlights the importance of moving beyond static postures, incorporating gentle, holistic movement to maintain healthy fascia. During this training, the practice of holding poses is complemented by soft, fluid yoga sequences done close to the Earth. These gentle and interoceptive flow sequences nurture your body’s entire fascial network helping you release tension, restore and balance your body and mind.

Complimentary practices
Release stress and restore balance by integrating tension release exercises, ayurvedic self massage and fluid breathwork into the flow of your practice or teachings. Learn how to use music, soundscape, silence and your voice to enhance yin qualities.

Unique features

• Comfortable (looser fitting) clothing.

• Fascia-nourishing movement - based on cutting-edge research, to improve body function and maintain balanced fascia health.

• Somatic grounding and fluid movement - drawing from ancient traditions, to calm and heal the overstimulated nervous system.

• Dynamic breathwork and pranayama - to recharge your energy, boost immunity, and cultivate inner harmony.

Roots
The concept of Yin comes from China and Yin Yoga has little to do with the rest of the Indian based yoga lineage. Yin yoga as it is taught now is relatively new. Discover the art of Yin Flow Yoga and embrace a deeply restorative, healing, and transformative practice that invites you to surrender, soften, and reconnect with your own embodied wisdom. This training brings together the wisdom of Yin yoga, ancient yogic wisdom and modern research. Simon draws on his knowledge of restorative and gentle lunar vinyasa yoga as well as Chinese energy cultivation practices, somatic movement and breath work to offer a unique flow based practice that is gently restorative, fluid and deeply yin in quality.

Who is it for?
This training is ideal for students and teachers from all yoga backgrounds interested to move beyond static poses and study a fluid approach to Yin and restorative yoga practice. The live training together with the support of online study courses offers a comprehensive study of Yin Flow Yoga from somatic grounding and stress release to inner cultivation of the nourishing Yin energy. Whether you are looking to enhance your personal practice or incorporate these techniques into your teaching, this immersion will offer you the tools to expand your skills and deepen your journey.
