Janet Lau: Yin Yang Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training

Module 1: Yin Yang Yoga

| Jan-Mar 2026

Every person's body is unique—including height, size, bone and connective tissue density, and joint depth and orientation. Because each body is so different, yoga asana practice must adapt accordingly. This is the core principle of "Functional Teaching."

This module emphasizes understanding the functional purpose of each pose, how to achieve training objectives, and that asanas should support body-mind health rather than forcing the body into standardized shapes.

This course is part of Janet Lau: Yin Yang Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Program

Course Overview

Deep dive into the Yoga Sutras and Buddhist philosophy, making ancient teachings practical for modern life.

Certification Pathways

RYT200 / RYT500

Trainees can complete this module independently for personal growth and to deepen their practice. If you are pursuing a professional yoga instructor career, this unit is a mandatory module for RYT200 certification. Furthermore, Part One and Three of this module are available as elective courses towards the RYT500 advanced certification.

About the course instructor

Janet Lau

From a young age, I passionately sought the true meaning of life. I began exploring spirituality in my youth, practicing meditation diligently from ages twenty to twenty-two. Subsequently, I encountered difficulties in marriage and walked the path of self-improvement and spiritual practice. Through over twenty years of spiritual exploration, combined with nineteen years of personal practice experience, I've experienced and witnessed how most physical conditions stem from internal mental projections. Most difficulties in life arise from not living authentically.

Currently, Janet dedicates herself to the life lessons encountered over years of practice on her spiritual path, using various methods to help people of different faiths or without religious backgrounds. From yoga asana positions, mindfulness training, Buddhist applications, life reflections, and spiritual practice, she recognizes herself, transcends total attachment, contacts herself, follows her heart, and allows her heart to unleash life's greatest possibilities.
