How often can I do Yin Yoga?
There are a few related questions that beginners to yin yoga often ask: “How often can I practice yin yoga? Is it okay to do it every day? How much rest should I take between practices?” It may be frustrating to hear the simple answer, but the simple answer is, “it depends!” This answer is vague because there is no one answer that is right for every body. But, there is an answer that will be appropriate for you….

Functional Anatomy – Advanced Study
In-person, July 3-7, 2023 in Vancouver, Canada
With Bernie Clark
Only 3 spots left.
This is the first time that Bernie is offering a second level training which goes beyond the basic information about anatomy and physiology offered in his Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings. The focus will be on how the body moves and, more importantly, what limits movement, when these limits can be extended and when they should be accepted. This understanding is important not only for yoga students and teachers but anyone who helps people move functionally. The term “functional” is used to contrast this approach to instructions and alignment which focus on “aesthetics,” which is a pre-conceived notion of how people should look rather than what actually works for them.
Every Sunday morning at 10am PT, join Bernie for a live 70-minute Yin Yoga class followed by a 20-minute meditation. If that time doesn’t work for you, watch the replay which is available for 7 days. Or, here is a new option, with a one-year subscription, you can access the archives of all the past classes!
Bernie together with Yoga International offers 8 one-hour, online, Yin Yoga for Your Body video classes. These hours are eligible for continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance.
