Daily practice, group discussions, and shared insights create a rich learning experience throughout the training.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a very slow style of yoga that emphasizes stillness, patience, and extended pauses in each posture. Compared to more active forms such as Ashtanga or Vinyasa, it is often described as a gentler practice. Its focus is on the deeper structures of the body and on cultivating a meditative state through breath and awareness.
