Taking place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, this yoga teacher training event brings together aspiring instructors and experienced practitioners seeking to master the slower, meditative practice of yin yoga. Whether you're looking to build your teaching credentials or simply want to understand the profound benefits of holding poses longer, this immersive day offers authentic guidance rooted in both ancient wisdom and contemporary practice.

Led by esteemed instructor Daisy Lee, a Qigong teacher and practitioner who masterfully blends traditional Chinese teachings with modern wellness insights, this yoga teacher training creates a unique bridge between Eastern healing arts and today's holistic health movement. Daisy's approach cultivates inner peace, vitality, and deep self-awareness—qualities essential for both personal transformation and skilled teaching.

What to Expect

From the moment you arrive at Kripalu's serene campus nestled in the Berkshire Mountains, you'll enter a sanctuary designed for deep inner work. The day unfolds with mindful transitions between learning modules, hands-on practice, and periods of stillness. Expect to spend time in supported, longer-held poses—the signature of yin yoga—while learning the anatomical and energetic principles that make this practice so restorative.

You'll experience guided yin yoga sequences, discover how to safely cue poses for different body types, and explore the meridian system that underpins traditional Chinese medicine. Interactive teaching labs allow you to practice giving verbal cues and adjustments in a supportive environment. Breathing exercises, meditation, and Qigong movements led by Daisy Lee round out your experience, offering tools you can immediately integrate into your own classes or personal practice.

By day's end, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of how yin yoga's gentler approach complements more dynamic practices, detailed teaching notes, and the confidence to guide students through transformative, meditative sequences.
