Whether you have completed a Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course in-person or online with Sampoorna Yoga, or with another recognized Yoga school, this course is for you!

In this Refresher Course, you will revise your knowledge and practice your teaching skills in order to gain confidence to teach Yin Yoga from a functional approach.

Over the course of a week, you will practice, study and clarify doubts with our senior lead teachers, improve your practice, share with like-minded yogi fellow students, and develop your teaching skills while indulging in tropical nature!
