Dive into the expansive heart of Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga has a deep and inherent potential to heal the physical and mental body on many levels. This modality can be particularly useful for aging bodies & injury management. By understanding the principles and application expressed in this course, you will be able to access these rich practices like never before.


In this course you will dive into the ancient origins of Yin; understand modern human anatomy and its variations; investigate Fascia and why it is important; learn how, when and why to practice the various postures; and how to use the various props to support or enrich your practice.


Whether you wish to teach, are already a yoga teacher wanting to go deeper, or someone who simply wants to expand their own practice, this course is for you.


Delivered by Mark Pheely, one of Australia’s leading Yin Teachers and Teacher Trainers, this course is a wonderful blend of some live online learning, two weekends in studio at Salt Yoga, followed by a 3 night immersive retreat on beautiful Kangaroo Island.

  • This is a truly delicious practice designed to release tension in the body and mind by settling into long, deep and passive postures.

    Yin Yoga targets the body’s deep connective tissue (fascia) including ligaments, tendons, bones and joints. This practice increases overall health and wellbeing by maintaining or increasing range of motion, releasing tension and energy blockages, improving circulation and repairing damaged tissue.

    It is the perfect and essential balance to our very active lifestyles (Yang) and opens pathways for you to look inward and find a new dimension of depth inside, re-balancing the body’s energy.

  • This incredible 100 Hr Yin Yoga teacher training will cover:

    • HISTORY AND EMERGENCE OF YIN YOGA

    • THE 8 LIMB PATH OF YOGA

    • WHAT IS FASCIA AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HEALTH

    • VARIABLE ANATOMY AND HOW TO TAILOR POSTURES

  • Cynthia

    “Incredible, inspiring and life changing training.”

  • Amy, 2026 graduate

    Thank you so much Katie & Mark for creating such a beautiful, safe and nurturing space for us to learn about and explore Yin yoga.

    This training was such a beautiful balance of the foundations of yin, anatomy, teaching, poses and meridians. Everything flowed seamlessly and was easily digestible, even for those who have not done any other YTT.

    It was honestly such a transformative experience for me, and a confirmation that I am on the right path with this dream & exploration of yoga. 

    You guys are truly the best duo, and brought out the best in us.
    Thank you for all you do!”

  • Stephanie, 2025 graduate

    “It was an amazing course, thank you so much!”

  • Janet, 2025 graduate

    “I have been wanting to say how much I enjoyed the whole experience of the Salt Yoga Yin Yoga Teacher Training. I believe it was a perfect balance, online, in person and retreat, and time between each aspect to allow things to sink in. Mark was of course wonderful! I learnt so much and continue to reflect on the teachings.

    Thank you for your fantastic organisation and for being a gentle and gracious presence throughout. I really appreciated your input especially on our assessment day. Your kind and encouraging words landed so well for us all. Our Retreat experience could not have been better.

    Thank you!”
