Are You Ready to Teach Yin — Without Fear of Leaving Students Undone?
You fell in love with Yin. You know it holds something powerful — something that goes far beyond the physical. But the moment you imagine teaching it, a quiet fear creeps in.
What if a student breaks open and I leave them worse than before?
That fear is not weakness. It's wisdom. It's telling you there's a layer of knowledge you haven't found yet.
Trauma-Informed Somatic Yin Yoga is that layer. And this is where you find it.

YOUR GUIDE- ANNIE AU
I was exactly where you are.
After more than a decade as a professional dancer, I came to yoga through pain — physical burnout, panic attacks, and a heartbreak that shattered my sense of self. My first teacher training was Ashtanga — disciplined, structured, push through. I taught Yin the same way. Poses, holds, hoping for the best.
Then I walked into my first real Yin class in Bangkok — and cried for reasons I could not explain. For the first time, a practice asked me to feel instead of perform. It changed everything.
But even after that, I still had no framework for what surfaced in my students. None of my trainings explained the nervous system. None taught me what to do when someone went deep and did not come back on their own.
So I spent 13 years — across 13 countries — piecing together what I now know to be the missing layer in almost every yoga teacher's training. Today I weave together Daoism, yoga, and neuroscience into a framework that takes teachers from information to transformation.
My mission is simple — heal the world one soul at a time. Through the power of Somatic Yin Yoga.
