TESTIMONIALS
“If you want to discover what all the fuss is about Yin Yoga, I highly recommend Amanda’s “Surrendering into Grace” teacher training course. Set over three weekends, Amanda’s course gives yoga teachers and lovers of yoga a good understanding of what Yin Yoga is about, its historical context, the science behind the practice and how to teach Yin to a variety of students. Amanda divulges her years of experience into easy to understand course work with a compassionate delivery. I now feel well equipped with the skills and knowledge to teach yin classes and give my students a relaxing, safe and nourishing experience.” ~ Jo Evans, 2023 Yin TT Graduate
“Surrendering to Grace is a beautiful and uplifting course that will enrich both teachers and students skillset. The course runs just as a Yin class, smooth, nourishing and soul massaging. You will be expertly guided by Amanda throughout the course as you learn about the immense benefits of Yin on the body and mind.” ~ Sophie Varnier, 2023 Yin TT Graduate
“SoHo Yin Yoga Teacher Training was a fantastic course not only in terms of the content, but in that it was such an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. I started applying things I’d learnt after the very first weekend of training. The course manual is up there with the best I’ve received for a YTT, so easy to use to craft my classes. Learning through teaching each other in the group and sharing our experiences and findings was one of my favourite parts of the course. I highly recommend SoHo Yin Yoga Teacher Training for yoga teachers or those simply wishing to deepen their own knowledge and practice.” ~ Jo Moloney, 2023 Yin TT Graduate
