Yin Yoga has surged in popularity, offering a deeply accessible practice for a wide range of students. More studios are recognising its benefits and incorporating Yin into their schedules. Whether you’re looking to expand your teaching repertoire or deepen your personal practice, this training is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the art of Yin.
Our 40-hour intensive training is designed to help teachers deliver inclusive, informed, and engaging Yin classes. With only twelve places available, this small-group setting ensures individual attention, fostering a rich and supportive learning environment.
This course covers all essential aspects of teaching Yin, including anatomy, teaching methodology, and class planning—but it goes beyond the physical. You’ll explore the energetic and philosophical dimensions of Yin Yoga, gaining a deeper understanding that enriches both your practice and your teaching.
To lay the groundwork for your learning, you’ll receive 90 minutes of pre-recorded content, released two weeks before the course begins. This foundational material must be completed before the training, ensuring you’re fully prepared to dive in.

Kat’s teaching is deeply informed by mentorship with Yin Yoga’s premier teachers, including Jo Phee (assistant to Paul Grilley) and Sarah Powers. She holds the only 500-hour yoga teaching certificate in Yin Yoga from Jo Phee’s Yinspiration school, considered the gold standard in Yin training.
Kat’s special interests lie in Trauma-Aware Yoga and the energetic dimensions of the practice, making her approach both grounded and deeply transformative. Passionate about lifelong learning, she continues to refine her expertise each year, ensuring her teachings remain fresh, relevant, and inspiring.

Kind Words from previous students:
“Thank you so much again for the course! It was fantastic from start to finish! So professional, polished and well done. The content was informative, relevant and while it was a lot to take in, it was spaced out well and delivered in a digestible way. Thank you for making us all feel so welcomed, nurtured and for strengthening our love for yin yoga.” – Ingrid Ngiau, 2024
“I highly recommend Kat’s Yin Yoga Teaching Training course. Kat has a depth of experience and knowledge that one can only attain through a devoted embodiment of the practice. Having a full 50 hours in her presence has developed my yin practice to a new depth and given me confidence in my ability to teach yin yoga. The experience was fantastic. It’s one of the most comprehensive courses I have done. If you are sitting on the fence, jump off it and do the course with Kat!!” – Eddie Enever, 2024
“My experience during the YYTT was so enriching in my understanding of a Yin practice, my personal experience of Yin and most certainly provided me with the key elements to teach a Yin Yoga class.
The structure of the course was excellent and the subject matter was so beautifully detailed. This course is presented by Kat, an exceptional teacher of Yin and an amazing knowledgeable teacher trainer. The experience of the teacher(s) was clearly evident in the knowledge and manner of instruction.
Not only a huge learning curve but a wonderful experience personally. It was a truly magical experience”. – Peter Townsend, 2023.
“I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend Kat’s six-day Yin YTT intensive. She really ignited a passion for yin yoga within me. Prior to attending the course, my knowledge of yin yoga was fairly at the surface level.
To have the benefit of Kat imparting her considerable wisdom and knowledge has been really enlightening.
The course was very fun, entertaining and engaging but also mind-blowingly informative, well rounded and comprehensive, with a lot of depth and insight into the methodology of yin yoga.
I highly recommend attending Kat’s course if you want to expand your teaching skills and or explore and deepen your existing yin yoga practice, such a wonderful way to invest in yourself.” – Shan Adams, 2023.
“55hr 7-day intensive course, is an experience to be treasure. Not only is it an privilege to learn from Kat. It’s a honour to be in the company of like minded yogis. The content of the course is accessible and delivered in a beautifully effective way. On completion of the course, I am fully prepared and confident to plan, deliver, modify a well-rounded Yin yoga class, that goes beyond just the physical shapes. Thank you Kat and Josie for sharing and imparting your invaluable knowledge in such a humble way.” – Sarah Fourrier, 2021
“Kat is a brilliant teacher who creates a space where people feel safe, welcome and supported. The course content is delivered in an engaging way with the perfect balance of theory, practice, science and Eastern philosophy. All with a good smattering of humour! I would 100% recommend it to anyone wishing to deepen their understanding and teaching style for Yin Yoga.” – Claire South, 2020.
