Yoga Teacher 200hrs Certification
Yang & Yin
Yoga TTC
200 Hours / 3 WEEKS + 40HRS ONLINE
With this Yang & Yin Yoga TTC program, you will learn different approaches to balance the body, mind & soul and broaden your skill set to encompass more than one kind of yoga.
Ultimately it is all about the balance. We need activity and rest. In this Yang & Yin Yoga TTC we work on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels to balance yang and yin in your yoga practice and your life.
It is essential to remember that no two bodies are alike and that our needs vary from day to day. A key part of any yoga practice is to develop an awareness that helps us to observe the daily changing needs (mental, emotional, and physical) so that we can choose and adapt our yoga practice – more breath work, more meditation, more restorative yin or more active dynamic yang yoga asana – to these needs and to be able to offer our student’s different options and alternatives.
By practicing Yin and Yang together, we are re-balancing the body, mind, and soul at once, gaining fitness, and practicing to listen closely. By finding balance in our physical yoga practice, we allow this experience to guide the way to find balance on an emotional and mental level. By working with our body and breath in different scenarios, we fine-tune our intuition and insight, and this in turn will allow us to deepen the understanding of our own and other’s well-being.
Your guides for this course are Jenny Stark and Tina Bärtle (see more about them here).
In this Yang & Yin Yoga TTC you will gain insight into the importance and joy of a balanced practice, and discover the different opportunities yoga provides to release physical and emotional tension and stress. Learn how to identify your student’s needs to adjust your teaching to a variety of diverse scenarios and challenges.

3 Weeks Immersion Yang & Yin Yoga TTC
In the in-person immersion part of our Yang & Yin Yoga TTC, we will guide you through a journey through the yin and yang side of yoga, tapping into the ancient healing wisdom of both practices. There is no specific prerequisite required but an open mind and commitment and dedication to your personal development.
This Yang & Yin in Balance TTC program is designed to allow participants to be able to teach the full spectrum yoga has to offer. By practising both styles, you will be re-balancing the body, mind, and soul at once, gaining fitness, and understanding to listen closely. Through finding a balance in physical yoga practice, this experience will guide you on the path to finding balance on a mental, emotional and energetic level.
The yang flow yoga classes have a creative and dynamic character, building strength and stamina with intention in movement. The yin practice provides a deep and meditative space that enhances your awareness, enables you to feel more subtle energies and sensations, and allows the time to listen to the body closely.
You will get to know more about additional methods and a variety of meditation approaches to support this journey. In this immersion, we create a safe space for you to learn, connect and share and invite a long-lasting transformation. We offer you insight into the power of visualization and breath, Yoga Nidra, Mantras and Mudras. There will be plenty of opportunities for the students to practice teaching both styles themselves, and develop their skills and own style of teaching in this process.
+ 40 hours Self-Paced Online Course
To complete a solid foundation for your yoga teacher 200 hr certification and a deep understanding of yoga in all its variations we offer you an additional 40-hour self-paced online video course. Of these 40 hours 20 hours are dedicated to anatomy and physiology, and 20 hours will focus on general yoga humanities.
The Anatomy 20 hours Online Course will look into the anatomy of the muscular and skeletal body, as well as the human physiology like the nervous system, incl. ‘fight, flight, freeze’ stress response, vagal theory, overall mind-body connection, cardiovascular/circulatory, endocrine, digestive systems and the respiratory system as they relate to yoga practice.
In the Yoga Humanities 20 Hours Online Course we share details about general yoga history, philosophy and foundations like the eight limbs and Patanjali’s yoga sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. You will get to know about the Chakras, Koshas, Prana Vaayus, Kleshas and more.
Both these video courses you can start anytime after the complete sign-up and you will have one year time to go through the material at your own pace. Our team is always available for active support throughout this process.
After the in-person immersion, you will receive with successful examination your Yin Yoga Therapy™ teacher certificate right away, but only after the completion of the online courses, you will be able to register as an RYT 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance.

Yin Yoga TTC
BALANCE YANG AND YIN IN YOUR PRACTICE AND YOUR LIFE
200 Hours / 3 Weeks
Yang Flow – Intention in movement
Yang Flow, a more dynamic yoga practise offers a wonderful active way of stimulating the vital energy (Chi or Prana) that flows through our bodies.
While a dynamic flow yoga practice is one of the most popular forms of yoga offered in the modern world nowadays, it is often not fully understood. As philosophy, the Yang Flow practice recognises the temporary nature of things. We enter into a posture, stay there for a few breaths and then leave in transition to the next pose.
Yang Flow Yoga offers a variety of postures, the classes have a dynamic and creative character. In fact, the variable nature of this dynamic style of yoga helps you to develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries that can happen out of a mechanical, fixed yoga sequence.
There are no particular body requirements to practice this style of yoga and it is NOT targeted to specific yogis, such as people with a particular body type or workout routine.
Through developing your own style of a Yang Flow practice, you will discover new ways to prepare yourself to stillness and meditation, you’ll be exploring the powerful benefits of combining breathwork techniques with poses, and therefore it will contribute to benefit the overall of your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing, alongside the physical benefits promoted by this dynamic style of yoga.
As physical activity causes the body to sweat and expel toxins, synchronised breathing calms the mind. Improving your cardiovascular system and muscle strength as well as your flexibility are additional benefits of a Yang Flow practice.
Yin Yoga – Potential in Stillness
Yin Yoga (also often titled the other half of your practice) is a deep and meditative practise that enhances your awareness, allows you to feel more subtle energies and sensations, and teaches you to listen to your body closely.
In this Yang & Yin Yoga TTC, you will learn Yin Yoga’s components and principles and you’ll get the chance to deepen your own practise in order to re-balance your body and mind — unravelling energetic blockages, boosting the immunity system, lowering stress hormones so then you will feel re-energized at every level.
The stillness of the long-held static stretches with relaxed muscles in Yin Yoga creates a deep awareness of body, mind, and soul. By the emotional release of stress and tension stored on a physical level, in the connective tissues and fascia, Yin Yoga reverses the process of generating stress-related diseases and stimulates high vibrational body energy that promotes emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
Yin Yoga activates our inner body intelligence in order to reach out to a blissful state of being, also well-known as “Zen”. It’s a natural process of self-healing that can reverse long-term issues due to mental and physical patterns hard to let go of.
In this training, you’ll be exploring the powerful and natural healing powers residing in your own body, mind, and soul, and you’ll learn that by changing your energy vibrations, you will heal yourself from a long-term perspective. The ancient healing wisdom of the Daoist Elements and the Chi flow in the body will be guiding you through a long-lasting self-transformation.
This Yang & Yin Yoga TTC offers both practices together and so creates the perfect balance of body, mind, and soul.
