What to expect

6-day intensive course

In connection with Yin Yoga, we dedicate ourselves to the topics of meditation, chakras, meridians and fascia, but also to the element theory from TCM in theory and practice.

You will learn how to incorporate mental, energetic, and philosophical content into your sequence alongside physical topics, weaving them into your entire teaching, and thus creating and teaching more in-depth units with a variety of topics.

A special focus is on thematic sequencing – you will learn how to structure a Yin Yoga session not only physically, but also in terms of content: with a common thread that runs from the opening to the final meditation.

You will learn how to use props effectively, provide individual support to participants, and address different physical needs – safely, attentively, and competently. Contraindications and safe instruction are integral parts of the training.

Furthermore, we will focus on the voice as a teaching tool: tempo, pauses, modulation, and language – all of these influence how a Yin Yoga session is experienced. You will learn to use your voice consciously and effectively.

Focus: Body, mind, energy, methodology & didactics, meditation & relaxation and thematic variations for philosophical-spiritual depth as well as the handling and use of the voice.

What to expect

3-day intensive course

We dedicate ourselves to the teachings of Yoga Nidra, based on the traditional approaches of Swami Satyananda Saraswati as well as modern adaptations and extended techniques.

You will learn the scientific foundations – accompanied by sound theory about the autonomic nervous system, states of consciousness, and neurophysiological brain functions during deep relaxation. In this way, we combine ancient wisdom with modern science.

You will gain confidence in creating and leading Yoga Nidra sessions and learn how to adapt them to different target groups and needs. The voice as an instrument – ​​with conscious tempo, rhythm, and modulation – is also an integral part of the training.

Furthermore, you will discover the effect of visualizations and inner images, as well as the art of Sankalpa and the difference to conventional affirmations.

Between the theoretical units, we regularly delve into practical application - this way you integrate the knowledge through your own profound experiences.

Focus: Mind and consciousness, methodology & didactics, voice, affirmations and visualizations - as well as plenty of Yoga Nidra practice.
