OVERVIEW
FRI 29 - SUN 31 JANUARY, 2027
This is a training for yoga teachers, and an immersion for students wanting to dive into the mystery of yin.
A weekend immersion in the still waters of yin, held in deep winter: a time for cocooning and introspection. Yin is a way of living, more than a simple practice. There are many tools that can help us connect to this energy within us, and this training is for those who want to learn and practise those tools; to make yin more present and available in their life.
This immersion is for yin enthusiasts, and for space holders who would like to share yin practices.
Living a yin life is a beautiful act of self-love, but also a powerful act of rebellion against a society that constantly pushes us to move faster. Most of us live a yang life. We have busy schedules; we move around, we travel, we meet people all the time. We are exposed to the outer world constantly; not just in real life, but also through our phones and computers. Our society celebrates productivity over rest. We have learnt to grind, to be efficient, to hustle. Because of this, it is often difficult to give ourselves permission to rest and slow down.
Relaxing should be the most natural thing in the world, yet somehow we have been wired to think of it as unproductive. So we need tools to find more rest, in body and mind, in the society we live in. And while this may feel like something new we are learning, it is actually an innate wisdom within us, one we simply need to tune into.
Yin is also a way to connect with nature and the elements. Just as we feel calmer when we walk in a forest or swim in the sea, we can find peace in the meadows of our heart and rest in the waters of our own body.

Every morning begins with a long practice: long-held asanas, along with breath awareness, movement, somatisation and meditation. Afterwards, we sit in a circle and share our personal experience of the practice - an essential time to get familiar with descriptive vocabulary. Each practice has a theme, inspired by the elements. We will also explore the history of yin and the elements of a yin practice, as well as receive an introduction to the elements and the meridian systems.
In the afternoons, we look at the main yin poses and discuss variations and the use of props. Each day ends with a short practice and a sharing circle.
Along with this training, you will receive a manual that includes the main concepts discussed during the training and pictures of yin postures with their names and a few collections of yin sequences.
