We are excited to welcome Maria French to our teaching staff at 4yoga and to highlight her recent completion of a Yin Teacher Training module! Maria has been practicing yoga since 2012, and she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Be Happy Yoga in July 2021.
To advance her understanding of the practice and teaching of yoga, Maria is currently enrolled in the 300-hour yoga teacher training program at Sanctuary for Yoga in Nashville. As part of that program, she spent an October weekend diving deeply into Yin yoga and completed a 20-hour Yin module with Elizabeth Stewart.
During the training, Maria learned “the principles of Yin yoga and it roots in both Chinese and Indian philosophies.” She also appreciated the opportunity to “understand the physical impact on the body though practicing this type of yoga and how it targets different areas of the body than traditional yoga.”
To experience Yin yoga for yourself, please join Maria on Fridays in January, when she will be offering a 5:30 p.m. Yin class! Maria enjoys sharing yoga’s benefits, both physical and mental, especially to help practitioners relieve stress and feel more at ease, and she looks forward to seeing you to conclude the week with a Yin practice!
