Yin Yoga Teacher Training

YIN YOGA

 “Yin Yoga is simple, but simple does not mean easy.” Bernie Clarke

As a contrast to many classic Yoga styles, Yin Yoga focuses on stillness, passive Yoga poses and a practice within to guide through this stillness.

You will learn the principles of this calm and passive practice called Yin Yoga and how to teach them to others. We will go through Yin Yoga history, philosophy and benefits of Yin Yoga.

Another focus of this Ying Yoga teacher training is incorporating Yin elements to your daily routine and practice.

MINDFULNESS

“Be here now.”
Ram Dass

By practicing Mindfulness, you practice how to be fully present. How to live your life in the here and now, and how to find peace within.

We will explore the basics of Mindfulness Meditation together. We will learn why the practice is so deeply intertwined with Yin Yoga and how to use it for your Yin Yoga practice and classes.

There will guided meditations online for your own practice as well as lessons on how to integrate Mindfulness into the teaching of Yin Yoga.

TEACHER TRAINING

“We are all just walking each other home.”
Ram Dass

A Yoga teacher training is an important life event. Providing you with much knowledge and powerful insights about yourself and the world around you.

For us it is important to guide you in this yoga teacher training. You can work in your own pace, however, you are not alone!

We as teachers will provide (virtual) space for you to connect to the group of participants, have interactive workshops and 1:1 sessions for more personal questions.

The Yin Yoga Teachers

Evi & Anna

The teachers for this online Yin Yoga Teacher Training, Eva and Anna, met 5 years ago, teaching Yoga in the same Yoga studio in Vienna. They became good friends and found a deep connection through the love of the more soft and inwardly directed style of Yin Yoga.

This passion made join forces and create 2 unique Yoga Teacher Trainings: Yin Yoga Teacher Training 100h and Yin Yoga Advanced Teacher Training 50h.

With these 2 Yoga Teacher Trainings they want to give people the opportunity to explore the beautiful Yin energy – practicing it, understanding it, living it.

In their Yoga Teacher Trainings the focus is also on allowing you to become a unique teacher and keep your own authenticity – finding and developing your very own voice as a teacher and making your classes outstanding

Eva is the master in Chinese Medicine and the use of the Meridian System. Through her training in Shiatsu massage, she has developed a profound knowledge of the body and the energy channels within it.

Anna pairs up the team with years of Mindfulness Meditation practice and founder of a Meditation Center in Ecuador, which allowed her to develop a new angle to the teachings of Yin Yoga and the simplicity of being present in the practice, and also in life.

Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation Teacher

ANNA SCHLEGEL

Anna feels a deep connection to the Yin energy. Being a woman offers this connection naturally, but also her personality shows many Yin elements. Calm, flowing, and relaxed. She often looks within to explore and experience the teachings of the traditions of Yoga, Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation which she’s been studying for over 10 years.

But where there is a Yin, there also is a Yang, otherwise we cannot find balance. Her Yoga and Mindfulness path has led her all over the globe for the last 8 years, helping her to become a certified Yoga Teacher for Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Mindfulness MeditationAnna offers her expertise by showing up for you as a teacher, guiding you and motivating you to share and open yourself up in this teacher training. 

She is also offering you her vast knowledge of Yoga and Meditation, the theories, philosophies and traditions behind it, and the cultural influences through which this practice has evolved world-wide.

In her Yin Yoga classes, she is known for a special eye on the energetic forces, the Prana Vayus, in our bodies, for connecting with body and mind, and practicing Mindfulness, presence and awarness in every moment.

Yoga Teacher, Chinese Medicine & Shiatsu Expert

EVA-MARIA KURZ

When Eva started her Yoga journey many years ago, she found it hard to connect to her Yin energy. Finding stillness was not on her agenda, and she considered it a waste of time. On the other hand, she loved creative and strong Vinyasa Flow classes with higher levels of Yang.

This changed completely after attending a Vinyasa class, which had Yin Yoga elements integrated. That’s when Eva fell in love with the Yin energy. The stillness felt like magic and suddenly there was space for letting go. Letting go of old patterns as well as tension in her body. 

In 2016 she decided to travel to Thailand where she completed a Yin Yoga Teacher Training. Ever since then she teaches various Yin Yoga classes every week.

Eva loves creating unique and “out of the box” Yin Yoga classes, mixed with her vast knowledge of the Chakra and Meridian System, as well as the teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine or also called TCM. Working with the Yin energy throughout the years made her practice and teachings consistent and valuable for both her and her students.
