We are calling in emotionally mature, self-aware beings who want to dedicate time and energy to go deeper into their body wisdom, but also in their leadership role and capacity to impact. We create a space for growth, we ask you to step up, to show up and to be seen.

If you are finding yourself at the moment in a position where you need personal healing, you could consider one of our certified affiliates to work with you personally.

Our mission is to spread the love for yin globally while creating high industry standards.

No doubt ‘yin is in’ and with it comes a huge amount of unskilled and untrained people providing yin yoga classes. And while these classes often can be beautiful offerings and might be ‘yin’ in their nature, very often they are not what we consider ‘yin yoga’ in the yoga sphere.

The yin yoga practice according to the principles and components, follows the foundations laid out originally by Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and Bernie Clark are defined.

The consideration of an individual skeletal structure, functional alignment and working with ‘yin tissue’ not only stretches but also strengthens them and requires quite some ‘know-how’.

Addressing the physical benefits as well as the energetic layer when working with the Taoist philosophy, the meridians and chi flow need serious study.

Transforming a yin yoga class into a in yoga healing experience needs skill, practice and talent.

We are here for it. And we offer you the opportunity to explore these things with us. And ultimately to help us spread the word with our affiliate program.

Our focus is on offering you a high-quality training in the perfect learning environment, so we just would like you to be prepared:

-At times it can be intensive and demanding, do not expect a yoga holiday. With completion you receive a certificate & a diploma, it is an education aimed to prepare you to be able to teach professionally. There will be limited time for your self-study and rest, please use this time carefully. We offer an educational teacher training course, not a yoga holiday or self-healing retreat. Homework is given, you will be asked to teach and hold presentations, self-study and the successful completion of an exam is required. However, we also aim to incorporate some fun and your weekends are free for you to explore 🙂

-Our venues are selected with two things in mind: learning and nature immersion. Often you will find more of a yoga school camp environment and not a luxurious holiday retreat!

Yoga is about doing the practice according to the capability of your body and growing in your practice every day. Therefore we feel it doesn’t matter if you are experienced or not, if you are open-minded with a love for adventure, a dedication to learning and your own personal development then you are at the right place! However, certain programes are more or less suitable for different stages of your yoga journey, just get in touch to discuss which one is best suitable for you.

We recommend that you to bring a few sets of comfortable light yoga clothing and swim wear, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, something a little warmer for the early mornings, a white outfit for our opening and closing ceremony, a reusable water bottle, and your own yoga mat.

Here is an example day, but we adjust to sunrise/sunset, temperature/mosquito time and it might change a bit from day to day depending on sunset/sunrise times and our venue.

Weekdays are study immersion, your weekends are free to explore the area and dedicate yourself to some self-study. Saturdays and Sundays are free and there are no meals provided.

The mornings start with a nature meditation followed by some movement with guided yang yoga classes. After breakfast, there are theory and methodology classes till lunch, followed by a long midday break. The late afternoons are dedicated to the yin yoga practice and a sunset circle to complete the day. Days can vary, but here is an example day:

• 06:30 – 07:00 Sunrise Sadhana – Spiritual Self-Practice Time
• 07:00 – 07:15 Nature Meditation
• 07:20 – 08:30 Guided Yang Yoga Practice
• Breakfast Break
• 09:15 – 10:15 Theory
• 10:20 – 11:20 Theory
• 11:30 – 12:30 Methodology
• Lunch & Afternoon Break
• 15:30 – 17:30 Yin Yoga Immersion
• 17:45 – 18:45 Sunset Circle
• Occasional optional evening activities

The 200-hour course is designed for people who are at the beginning of their yoga teacher path as a first foundational yoga teacher education. The 200-hour certificate will qualify you to register with Yoga Alliance as a teacher.

Here you will have more time to dive deep into the yin side of yoga as well as explore general anatomy and yoga humanities. There is also much more opportunity to actively practice teaching yourself to gain teaching experience to develop your own style of teaching.

The 100-hour course is designed for people who already did a general foundational yoga education course before and have teaching experience (or simply do not have the time to go for the full program right away). With this program, you will receive a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education certificate, but it does not qualify for a first registration with them as a yoga teacher.

However, even for experienced teachers, there is a lot of value to go for the longer program as a profound yin yoga therapy immersion. There are so many layers to yin, the Daoist philosophy and the way we can benefit from the wisdom of the meridians and chi flow to ultimately transform a yoga class into a mindful healing space, or offer more personal tailored sessions to our students when it comes to physical or energetic healing. So if you have the time and resources we recommend taking the deep dive into the yin side and go for the longer immersion. 

However, both concepts are high-quality Yoga Alliance-affiliated programs with extracurricular Oriental medicine workshops, which allow you to learn all about yin yoga as a healing method and mindfulness practice. With successful completion of any one of the courses you also will receive the Yin Yoga Therapy™ Diploma.

Although you will benefit from having a regular practice before starting, it is not a necessity. It is however advised to have an affinity with yoga and to be familiar with the practice. Check with us specifically the requirements for the program you choose.

Other than that you only need to have an open mind and a love for adventure 🙂

We have a love for a conscious lifestyle and follow an Ayurvedic yogic diet, therefore our offered food is always fresh and pure, as organic as possible, and mostly vegan.

If you have any specific requirements (especially allergies e.g. nut allergy) please let us know in your application so we can prepare to accommodate that.

Yes, you will receive a Yoga Alliance-affiliated certificate when you complete your course. We will give you all the knowledge and tools you need to be a yoga teacher. You will have plenty of opportunities to practice teaching in our course and receive constructive feedback. It is then up to you if you feel ready to take on teaching. Some students feel ready while others feel that they need to practice and continue learning before teaching others.

The first day starts with an opening circle at 17:00, followed by our first dinner together. The last day is reserved just for your checkout.
