50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Doors open September 15, 2026
Soma Chandra is the original 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training steeped in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine,
the Five Element Theory, meridian theory and the psycho-emotional body.
This is a training for those who want to move beyond simply doing Yin Yoga and begin to understand how a Yin practice can become deeply intentional, therapeutic, and transformational.
Journey through the Five Elements
Each week, we immerse ourselves in one of the five elements and explore its corresponding meridian pairing and yin organ.
You’ll learn:
Where each meridian travels through the physical body
How the meridians relate to the yin organs
The energetic qualities associated with each element
The emotional landscape connected to each organ
How these energetic and psycho-emotional themes can inform your Yin practice
How to thoughtfully craft Yin classes around specific energetic intentions
We’ll also explore the nervous system and fascia, while keeping the focus firmly on the energetic and experiential dimensions of Yin.
This is not a deep anatomical training.
Rather, Soma Chandra is an exploration of Qi moving through the meridian system, the relationship between the physical and energetic bodies,
and the profound psycho-emotional layers that can arise through Yin Yoga.
Ultimately, you’ll learn how to create classes that feel like medicine, practices that invite students into deeper awareness, regulation, release, and transformation.
A training you can learn at a slower pace
I’m especially excited to offer Soma Chandra online this year.
Most of the training is now pre-recorded, giving you the freedom to revisit teachings, pause, take notes, and move through the material at a pace that genuinely supports your learning.
And it doesn’t end when the six weeks are over.
You’ll receive an additional bonus month of access to the training materials after the course concludes, so you can continue re-watching, integrating and deepening your understanding.
If you’re someone who likes to really sit with information — to listen again, take notes, reflect, and return to teachings over time — online may actually be the perfect way to experience Soma Chandra.
And of course, studying online also means you can immerse yourself in the training without the additional cost and logistics of flights, accommodation, and travel.
I’ve taught this training many times and it never stops moving me.
Soma Chandra has been shared with students again and again, and I continue to witness its profound effect.
There is something very special that happens when we begin to understand Yin not simply as a collection of postures, but as a practice that can work with the energetic, emotional, physical, and subtle bodies simultaneously.
I’m so excited to open this training online and to share it with this particular group of students.
A special invitation for 2026
This will be the only online Soma Chandra training I’ll be offering for the remainder of 2026.
To celebrate this particular online cohort, I’m offering a very special introductory rate that I won’t be offering again in this format.
Doors open September 15, 2026.
If you’ve been feeling the call to deepen your understanding of Yin, TCM, the meridian system, and the profound relationship between body, energy, and emotion, I would absolutely love to have you join me.
Come explore the elements. Come meet the meridians. Come discover how Yin can become medicine.

TESTIMONIALS
“Persia is an incredibly knowledgable experienced teacher who offers an in depth understanding of how Traditional Chinese Medicine translates into Yin Yoga.
A major focus of this training was the 5 elements, meridian pairings and the flow of Qi. This provided invaluable context for sequencing classes and understanding the therapeutic benefits.
Beyond Yin Yoga, Persia also brought in soft skills of teaching. Unpacking concepts such as space holding, working with students individual needs while maintaining group energy and how to cultivate safe inclusive containers for people to unwind in. Due to this training, I feel so much more confident in my ability to teach Yin safety and effectively!
The group dynamic was amazing! Persia created a very collaborative and supportive learning environment.
I highly recommend Soma Chandra as Persia’s teaching style and her commitment to students is truly exceptional.
My deepest thanks and grattiude, it was an absolute pleasure learning from you! ”
“Soma Chandra with the amazing Persia is an incredible, transformative journey. This Yin yoga training exceeded all my expectations, the course is packed full of information and extremely well presented. I felt completely supported along the way and loved the connection and sense of community. Persia’s insights, wisdom and poetic interweaving of the traditional Chinese and Vedic philosophies is truly a gift. Knowing how to teach both Yin and Yang styles of yoga was something I felt important as a yoga teacher. I now feel a more balanced and confident yoga teacher after completing this Yin teacher training. Thank you so much Persia for this beautiful experience. ”
“The Soma Chandra, teacher training course without a doubt was one of the best Yin Yoga trainings I have ever participated in. The course ran for 3 months and was beautifully structured. The course covered off Meridians, Chakras yin postures, meditations, Anatomy and we discussed TCM and how that complements our daily lives including Yin Yoga. We caught up as a group regularly for lectures and discussions and presented our teacher trainings activities and class plans via video, and hardcopies for review and comments from Persia. I loved this course and I was sad when it finished but I am a way better yoga teacher as a result of doing this training and I would highly recommended it to anyone who is wanting to further their yoga training”
“ I have absolutely loved this training and all the course content Persia put together, it has been a beautiful balanced blend of information and practice.
Persia holds such a safe and loving space that has ignited me to step into my potential and confidence, thankyou Persia!”
“Huge gratitude and appreciation for Persia and the journey she created with Soma Chandra. I began the course after experiencing extreme difficulty and felt held and supported throughout the journey.
Soma Chandra was like a cocoon that held me through the stages of grief.
I am in awe of Persia’s generosity, depth, authenticity and wisdom.
The teachings she transmits and simply the way she is, has lit something in me and I feel it shining through in my teaching. I’ve learnt so much over these three months, but the biggest thing is that I have found my voice and am stepping into my womanhood, my power and feel unafraid of sharing my depth.
Persia, I am forever grateful that our stars crossed and that you are a guide on this journey of teaching yoga.”
“Being a highly structured person, I really appreciated the thorough and clear structure of the course. This course is of such high quality, I can’t wait to see what you create next!”
“What a difference when I’m teaching Yin in the room.
I have a deep respect for what you have created!”
“SOMA CHANDRA in 2025
And so, it continues to begin!”
