Season 8 | Episode 11

A comment in a Yin Yoga network group stopped me in my tracks.

Someone said they were "already certified to teach Yin," and I couldn't get that out of my head.

So this episode is all about what certification actually means, whether it equals qualification, and what only time and humility can teach you that no training ever could.

In this episode:

Why a certificate marks the beginning of teaching, not the completion of learning
The problem with weekend intensives and fast-track certification culture
The shadow side of collecting certifications without integrating the material
Why the deeper you go into Yin Yoga, the less certain you become
Humility as a Yin quality and why staying teachable matters more than arriving
