Welcome to the home of Yin Yoga on the web. Many come here because of a question: “What is Yin Yoga?” The answer cannot be found on a website, but you can start understanding by watching this short video (see below): An Introduction To Yin Yoga. The video is just the beginning of the answer – to understand any form of yoga, one must experience it. Reading about yoga is like reading a menu when you are hungry: interesting, maybe even mouth-watering, but until you partake of what you are seeing, your need will not be quenched.
In the words of Paul Grilley, this site is “a website for all things Yin.” Inside, you will find a complete online book (YinSights) describing the history, benefits, how to practice, and explanations of the most common Yin Yoga Poses (asanas) through video presentations and written descriptions. And even YouTube playlists that can guide you through several complete practices. You will also find links to many resources that can give you a deeper taste of the practice and a Teacher Directory with listings of Yin Yoga teachers worldwide.
If you still have questions after all this, there is a Forum where you can see hundreds of questions answered about Yin Yoga and Yoga in general. This site aims to help students start their journey of discovery while providing something to the many already deep into the practice. Keep checking over time as we build and grow this site as a resource you can use repeatedly as you travel your unique path.
Enjoy the journey!

Bernie’s 2026 Teaching Schedule — Online Courses Still Available Anytime
2025 has been a full year. I finished my latest book, Prana — One Breath, Many Worlds and a new online video course, Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers. And we conducted four live Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings as well as hosting weekly classes online. Now, after more than twenty years of leading Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings, I’ll be taking a one-year sabbatical in 2026 to rest, recharge, and explore a few long-delayed projects. What does this mean? Only that I won’t be leading live (in-person or Zoom) teacher trainings during 2026. All of my On Demand online trainings remain open and available at any time, including:
- Yin Yoga Teacher Training (On Demand)
- Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers
- Meditation Revealed, and others listed below
You can start or revisit these courses whenever it suits your schedule.
I’ll also continue teaching my weekly 90-minute Sunday morning Yin Yoga class, which I look forward to every week.
Thank you for your ongoing support and for being part of this community. I expect to return to a full schedule of live trainings in 2027.

40-hour Meditation Revealed Philosophy, Psychology and Practice
We are happy to announce that Meditation Revealed is available in an on-line, pre-recorded format. This course will examine what meditation is, why we do it and how to do it, from a variety of viewpoints: From Eastern Yogic and Buddhist views to Western Philosophy and Psychotherapy. The course will include training in Deep Meditation to give the student an experiential basis for the practice of meditation. Additionally for yoga students and teachers alike, the course will look at the context of yoga through its evolution thousands of years ago to the modern practice.

Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers
The On Demand version of Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers is now available! This is a second level Functional Anatomy training which goes beyond the basic information about anatomy and physiology offered in basic Yoga Teacher Trainings. This training will help you educate your students on their uniqueness and how to determine what works best for them, rather than being told what they can and cannot do. For more information head over to either Asana at Home or visit Yogaversity. Either option will work to take the course. The original, live in-person training was held July 7-11, 2025. Our intention in creating the On Demand version is to make it feel like the viewer is right in the room with the other students.
Through these 8 on-line yin yoga classes you will learn
- The nature of yin and yang
- To practice with intention and attention
- The 3 principles of the yin yoga
- The reality of human variations
- To create a functional yoga practice
- To develop anti-fragility
