Yin Yoga Teacher Training

JUNE 2026 Training | Book NOW!

50 CPD Hours Yin Yoga Training

Exciting news! Mary-Lou will be welcoming her second cohort of Yin Yoga Trainees to SPACE Yoga, Brighton, this coming June. Run in seven weekend afternoons, the training is ideal for those who:

Wish to take their own personal yin yoga and meditation practice to the next level;
Already teach yoga and wish to qualify to teach yin yoga;
Work in the health and wellbeing sector and wish to lean into how Traditional Chinese Medicine offers the opportunity to align more intimately with Nature and the Seasons.

During the course, you will have the opportunity to experience and embody the learning. Mary-Lou will be sharing how Daoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism intersect in the practice and how these might be utilized on and off the mat.

What to Expect:

As well as familiarising ourselves with the five 'Chinese' Seasons and how we might better live in harmony with them, we will practice using some powerful acupressure points (including the Five Forbidden Points). You will be offered the chance to practice teaching the poses, understanding the fascia, and the functional aspects of the practice. You will receive your own handbook as well as a your very own acupuncture doll as part of the course fees.

***Investment: £695***

Please note that the Early Bird for the June Training (a generous discount of £40) runs until 28 February 2026.

Enrolment is £175 non-refundable deposit (deducted from any remaining fees). If the Early Bird has been used, this means that there will be a remaining total of £480.

The remaining fees will be split into two equal instalments.

One to be paid by 11 April (£240 if Early Bird used), and
One to be paid by 31 May (£240 if Early Bird used).

There will be a choice of pre-course assignments and during the training, there’ll be the opportunity to practice teaching either the poses or themed meditations. This choice makes this accessible for those who wish to take their learning into other settings. Please do arrange a discovery call via the email link below. Places are already filling.

About Mary-Louise Aitken

Experience

Mary-Louise Aitken began her working life in her late teens as an Operatic Soloist, before going on to sing as a principle with world-class companies such as Glyndeboure and Welsh National Opera.

Discovering the benefits of a Mindful Meditation practice in her twenties and already having learned the first series Ashtanga, Mary-Lou's love of yoga grew over time.

In administrative roles, Mary-Lou worked with the Faculty Board Chair at what was then known as the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford. She was mentored in this role to eventually go on to work as a fundraising consultant for the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies. This role included writing strategy to build revenue through online courses.

Mary-Lou qualified to teach yoga in 2019 and now teaches in Yoga Studios in Brighton and Hove as well as 1:1 with students in their own homes and from her own home in central Brighton.

"What a wonderful experience being a part of the first Yin Training led by you and with the whole group. I feel very well equipped to dive deeper into this practice for years to come - it weaves in beautifully with Daoism, TCM and Hinduism/Buddhism all of which inspire by practice and offerings.
