I’m so grateful that this opportunity came up and I was able to learn from the most wonderful and knowledgeable instructors from around the world. There is so much to learn and I have been fully supported both during the course and ongoing. I’ve come away with such amazement at what I learnt as yoga is really so much more than I thought. I’m so happy to have found answers and I want to share my love for yoga with all.

Thank you very much. The course was interesting and I loved watching and participating in the different Yin practical sessions. The course was very well presented and run with ample guidance. I have taught groups and will be teaching restorative Yoga to the staff at my school and can now incorporate Yin. I can see now how important bolsters etc are!

The online material was so thorough and informative that I never felt I was lost or missing something. Learning via online was easy with Santosha because their online platform was well organized. It took the doubt of online learning completely away.
The teachers were also amazing! Sunny is a very well trained and knowledgeable yogini. That care and intellect carries on with the teachers of Santosha. My experience of training with Santosha gave me a whole different understanding of yoga. The mental, spiritual, meditative side of yoga was so beneficial to my life and especially in these crazy times we are in currently.
My many, many thanks to Sunny and the entire Santosha team for all your love and support!

Yin Yoga practice is a relaxing, mindful style of yoga where postures are practiced in a slow, static way for extended periods over a longer period. By positioning ourselves in a pose and then fully letting go, gravity does the work. We relax our muscles, rest the body, and calm the mind; allowing a deeper connection to self and soothing the soul.
Experience and share a profound yoga practice that opens up energetic blockages in the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. Slowly working the deeper levels of the body, heart, mind: the connective tissues and the channels of the meridians - it is an an odyssey into the deeply meditative aspects of yoga practice.
Yin yoga practices invite the harmonizing of connective tissue by 'stressing' entangled fibers from physical, emotional and mental tension or from physical immobility – resulting in a smooth flow of chi energy in a pose. After a practice the fluidity of your energy is palpable, your mind is calm and you will experience improved sleep.
Yin Yoga is based upon the Traditional Chinese medicine elements of Earth, Metal, Wood, Water and Fire; each expressing distinct qualities in the body, mind and emotions such as lightness, flow, strength and relaxation. Sink into stillness, release stress, and relax the nervous system during this potent and nurturing practice.
Cultivate kind engagement with your inner self and spirit, with a focus on self-inquiry and ease. It is a spacious practice that opens your breath and understanding; a beautiful complementary practice to active, standing Yang Yoga. Yin stretches are passive, focusing on meridian lines while allowing deep introspection, relaxation and meditation on the mat.
Yin poses place a healthy amount of stress on our joints and tissue, helping release tension and hydrate the fascia - keeping it supple and improving mobility. It also helps to move blocked ‘chi' and nourishes meridians; assisting with emotional, mental and physical health, decreasing anxiety, stress and tension in the hips, shoulders and spine.
