In this heart-to-heart episode of A Yin Yoga podcast, I sit down with the lovely Grace Tempany to discuss the nitty-gritty of Yin Yoga teacher trainings.

If you've ever wondered what it takes to not only teach Yin Yoga but to teach others to teach it, this episode is for you.

We dive deep into why it's crucial to have a solid foundation of training and experience, and the ethical considerations we all need to keep in mind.

We also chat about the disturbing trend of underqualified teachers jumping into leading trainings and the dangers of using AI to cut corners.

Whether you're just starting out or considering offering your own teacher trainings, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help guide your journey.
