Yinspiration is proud to be the first in the yin community to create a standalone comprehensive Chinese Medicine module. This program was co-written with the ex-Vice Principal of the Singapore College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is the first yin training program to model after the curriculum taught in the TCM universities in China. This signature module has been attended by hundreds of yin yoga teachers/trainers around the world and many yin trainers have adapted their current trainings after our curriculum.
This comprehensive training is designed in accordance with the requirements for registration with Yoga Alliance USA. Upon graduation, students may apply directly with Yoga Alliance USA for “YACEP” status or accumulate these hours towards Yinspiration’s 300hrs certification.
“The Yin YTT was more than I was hoping for. I have learned so much about myself and my body in such a short time. I understand my own limitations and my potential. Fran is an amazing, knowledgeable teacher and has helped me plenty in such a short time!”
— Sepi, participant of the 60h Training with Franziska in 2020
