Yin Yoga and Pre-Natal Teacher Training at Wainwright House Yoga Teacher Training Academy (YTTA)

Rye's Wainwright House Offers Highly Anticipated Specialty Yoga Certification Programs

July 31 - August 2
Yin Yoga Teacher Training for certified yoga teachers will be led by Corina Benner (E-RYT 500). She has taught Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings since 2005, and has a national and international teaching experience. Corina’s practice and teachings have been influenced by her studies with yoga icons Rodney Yee, Shiva Rea and Paul Grilley. Corina is the Director of Wake Up Yoga and views asana practice as an entry-point to self-study. She teaches students to understand the power of yoga, while also guiding them in finding their authentic voice, and giving lessons on how bodies can be more receptive to yoga. Students will learn which tissues are being targeted, the physiological benefits of practicing in a yin fashion, and the subtle effects that contribute to the all-over good feeling the practice creates. Students will deeply investigate more than 25 Yin poses, as well as energy channels and emotional balancing. Upon completion, students will not only be able to teach Yin Yoga classes, but also be able to field their students’ questions with confidence and true clarity. This training is planned for July 31-August 2 at Wainwright House.

August 13 - August 16
Sue Elkind (E-RYT 500, RPYT) will join WHYTA to lead the Prenatal Teacher Training program for certified yoga teachers. Sue is an accomplished instructor with over 20 years of experience. She is the founder of Dig Yoga and is recognized for her inspiring and detailed instruction. Students will learn how to support women during their journey into motherhood both physically and emotionally. They’ll explore how to weave the teachings of yoga seamlessly into prenatal care. The training will provide essential techniques such as structuring and sequencing, asana modifications by trimester, key restorative postures as well as alignment and anatomy. Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training is scheduled for August 13-August 16 at Wainwright House.
