“I was blown away with how much I learned about the practice of yin yoga. Exploring yoga through a Taoist lense, and the meridian channels that run through the body, the balancing of chi energy, along with the beautiful deep poses that took my yoga practice to a whole new level.
Manuela is a brilliant teacher, as she immediately began engaging us to teach one another within the first week. I have never felt that I was ready to go directly into teaching an authentic and balanced class, but I and my peers all feel ready to teach and passionate about sharing this practice. My body and my mind feel more grounded and whole than I’ve ever felt after a class. There was healing happening in levels new to me. It’s an expanding feeling of physical and mental energy. I found this training to be rich with knowledge and experiential learning.
I highly recommend Yin Yoga Therapy training for anyone who wishes to develop of deeper understanding of yin yoga and its transformative power. “
