Assessment Process:
Students will be divided into groups to teach a one-hour Yin Yoga class that they have sequenced themselves to the rest of the course group. Each student will take it in turns to deliver part of the class sequence and philosophy. The class will be assessed on how well the knowledge from the course has been implemented into teaching.
There will be a multiple choice written review of the course material on the last day of the course. The review is closed book and students are required to complete the questions to the best of their knowledge. All the question material will be in the course manual so it is suggested students take extra time to study each evening.
100% attendance is required to pass the course. Any time missed will require the student to take make-up classes at their own expense outside of the intensive schedule to gain certification.

It was wonderful to share this week with 11 other like minded students as we explore our yoga life journey.” Belinda Woodhouse, 2021
“Kat’s Yin intensive training was excellent! Kat is such a knowledgeable teacher and shares her wisdom in a very accessible way.

There was so much love and support from everyone.” – Rodrigo Galan Matas Liviero, 2020.
