Yin Yoga Teacher Training with TJ Maher
Next Course: 8 Day Immersion 22-29 November 2026
TJ is returning to New Zealand to lead our next 100-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course. It is a complete program providing everything you need to understand, guide and practice the nuanced art of Yin.
Cultivating a peaceful mind and a kind heart are the best gifts you can give to yourself, your loved ones, and those around you.
Join TJ Maher for an immersive, all-Yin Yoga Teacher Training, one of the rare programmes in the world dedicated entirely to Yin.
Yoga Alliance certified (RYS200 & YACEP) and built on over a decade of continual refinement, this training gives you everything you need to practice and teach Yin Yoga safely, deeply, and with confidence.
Yin Yoga is one of the most transformational practices for the body, deep stretching paired with powerful "neural hacking." It reprograms your tissues into a state of ease so deep that, with regular practice, you carry that ease with you by default, all day long. Few things in society teach us the other side. Begin to find balance.
