If you have explored the softer side of yoga, you have probably encountered gentle, yin, and restorative yoga. But there’s often confusion around the differences between these three approaches, and not just for students, for teachers as well! While they can be combined in one class to great effect, understanding their goals and the differences between the three styles will help students and teachers alike.
In this video, I break down the three using a trio of terms from exercise physiology: frequency, duration, and intensity.
I’m building on-demand online trainings on how to teach gentle, yin, and restorative yoga right now! The first, Fundamentals of Teaching Yin Yoga, will be available by the end of 2024. Then Fundamentals of Teaching Gentle Yoga and Fundamentals of Teaching Restorative Yoga will follow.
Join my teachers’ newsletter to be the first to know when these courses are available!
