Ilse-Marie on the effect of yoga:

“Yoga has had a profound impact on my life. By focusing on the present moment, I’ve learned to handle stress better and appreciate the small joys in life. In a world that’s always changing at breakneck speed, yoga has become my still point.

Through my practice, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of what truly matters to me. I’ve found that teaching yoga to others gives me an incredible sense of fulfillment and purpose. Seeing the positive effects it has on my students fills me with energy and joy. Sharing my knowledge and passion with others is truly a beautiful experience. I feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive contribution in my own unique way, by doing what I love!”

My background in Yin yoga

I have been an active practitioner of Yin yoga for many years and I really enjoy teaching Yin yoga.

What makes Yin yoga so powerful is that it helps you reconnect with your body and learn to listen to the signals it gives. This can be especially valuable in difficult phases of our lives, when we tend to ignore our body’s needs. Holding the poses for longer periods also turns it into a form of meditation in a posture, allowing you to turn inward to find more peace and healing.

This gives Yin yoga teachers a lot of space to work with compelling themes.

The first time I came into contact with Yin yoga, I was immediately super enthusiastic. From there, I delved deeper into Yin yoga and also the different styles of Yin yoga. My biggest inspiration in Yin yoga is Bernie Clark. I have learned a lot from him, which I have also incorporated into my training and lessons.

In addition to Bernie Clark’s valuable lessons, I am also very inspired by Sarah Powers and Paul Grilley (and Suzee Grilley), but I have also been inspired by Travis Elliot, who approaches it in a different way and works more with sequencing.

Their influence is also woven into my lessons and training. I have taken the things I learned that resonate the most with me and my students.

In my classes, energy work with your own breathing as an anchor is central.

In addition, meditation and mindfulness play a very important role in my style of Yin yoga. I also use elements from Qigong in my lessons. Based on my inspirations, student feedback, and my own practice, I have developed my own unique style.

More about the power of Yin Yoga

As a yoga teacher, I have personally experienced how Yin Yoga can help me connect more deeply with my body and inner world.

With longer holds in Yin Yoga, I can focus on the sensations arising in my body and create awareness of what’s happening inside. Regular practice of Yin Yoga allows you to dive deep into your body and connect with your inner self.

I have personally experienced the transformative power that this style of yoga can have, both on my students and on myself. In a world that values constant stimulation and movement, Yin Yoga provides a space to slow down, turn inward, and connect with the present moment.

By holding passive poses for a longer period of time, Yin Yoga works to release tension in the deeper layers of connective tissue and promote the flow of energy through the body. This can lead to improved flexibility, better blood circulation, and a sense of calm and relaxation.

But beyond the physical benefits, Yin Yoga has the potential to promote deep emotional and spiritual healing. By creating space for uncomfortable sensations and emotions to arise, we learn to cultivate a sense of acceptance and compassion towards ourselves and our experiences.

It’s so beautiful to see my students discover these benefits for themselves. Whether it’s releasing physical tension or finding emotional relief, I am constantly inspired by the resilience and growth that can occur through the practice of Yin Yoga.

Ultimately, Yin Yoga offers a powerful reminder to slow down, tune in, and honor the wisdom and intuition that lies within each of us.

It’s a practice of self-discovery and self-love.

I feel grateful to be able to share this form of yoga with my students. It’s such a beautiful way to relax and give yourself the time and space you need to dive deeper into yourself and discover what lies beneath the surface. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Gastdocenten

Jane Bakx

Yoga, Meditation & Pranayama Teacher 500 E-RYT

I also regularly give the training together with Jane Bakx. In this training, she will also play a role as a guest teacher from her location in Bonaire.Jane is an E-RYT500 yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance certified) from the Netherlands. She lived most of her life in Amsterdam and worked as a producer in advertising. She has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and has been teaching for over 5 years. After completing her two yoga studies (both in India), she decided to quit her job in advertising and follow her heart and passion for yoga full-time. Since then, she has been teaching all over the world and organizing yoga teacher trainings and retreats. Jane’s home base is now on Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean Netherlands.

For Jane, yoga is mainly about connecting with yourself; with your body, mind, and heart. Yoga teaches you to listen more to your body. The focus in Jane’s classes is therefore on making that connection with yourself while also gaining strength and flexibility. She mainly teaches Vinyasa yoga and Yin yoga, both styles in her own way. In her Vinyasa classes, you move quite slowly so that you can really get into the poses, feel your body, and build a lot of strength. During the Yin classes, you go deep within.

Jane also has a huge passion for the human body, anatomy, and physiology. You can tell this from her instructions during her yoga classes.

Through her work with the children and her holistic approach, which uses food as medicine and incorporates movement and relaxation therapies, she was able to make a real difference in their lives.

Tiziana is a versatile woman who is passionate about real food, travel, and holistic well-being. She has a strong desire to create food inspired by her travels that can be appealing to everyone. Her love of making things by hand is evident in her work as a vegetarian/vegan chef, where she uses her creativity and culinary skills to prepare healthy and delicious meals.

In addition to her work as a chef, Tiziana is a certified yoga teacher and sound massage specialist. She offers sound journeys and sound massages with Tibetan singing bowls and gong to help people achieve deep relaxation and rebalance their minds and bodies.

During this week, Tiziana will be both the chef, preparing delicious dishes for us, and co-host, leading a beautiful meditation.

We have been working together for 8 years, and it is always wonderful to have her on the team.

 

THE POWER OF YIN YOGA

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a very passive approach to Yoga where you perform the majority of the poses seated on the floor or laying down.

The poses are held for longer periods of time, sometimes 3 – 5 minutes and in some cases up to 20 minutes. In Yin Yoga there are around 25 classical poses (+ variations).

Yin Yoga evolves into 3 main different levels of understanding, relating to the 3 main aspects of human existence :

On the physical level Yin Yoga targets bones, joints and connective tissues.

On the energetic level the practice reconnects with its roots of Taoist Yoga, and uses the ancient map and modern theory of the meridians, the long holds in Yin restore harmony in the subtle body by targeting the channels that run through the connective tissues.

On the emotional/mental level the Yin approach prepares the practitioner for meditation as one of the central intention of the yin practice is the cultivation of inner stillness.

Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, fascia, bones, and the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.

 

Yin Yoga offers deeper access to the body with the aim of lubricating and protecting the joints to make them healthier and stronger.

 

Yin Yoga is the perfect compliment to the more yang style of Yoga practice. Yang Yoga practices are vinyasa flow, ashtanga, power Yoga and hatha.

The main difference is that Yin Yoga is very passive with poses being held for longer periods of time.

Another important difference is that in Yin Yoga your muscles need to be relaxed as opposed to engaged, this is so you can work into the deeper layers of the body and move closer to the bone, an area often missed in a yang Yoga practice.

Being a more meditative form of Yoga the benefits affect both body and mind.

 

Yin Yoga poses stimulate the meridian lines and organs. Different emotions are stored in different places in the body, and when we work through the layers of the body, we work also through the layers of our emotions.

Yin Yoga encourages you to become aware of these stored emotions so you can begin to recognize them and release them.

Benefits of Yin Yoga:

Lubrication and protection of joints

Deeper access to the body through the relaxation of muscles

Improves flexibility

Release of fascia throughout the body

Acupressure massage

Regulates energy in the body

Calming and balancing for the mind

Relaxation

Stress reduction and ability to release anxiety

Down To Earth

We are down to earth yogis that will offer you a professional comprehensive course that we have created with a lot of passion. We have learned so much that we would like to share with you. As for all of us our first teacher training was a big positive turning point in our lives.

Small groups & Personal Attention

You will find a lot of teacher training centers that have courses in huge groups( 30-40 people!).

We have chosen to work with realtively small groups. This creates a nice and intimate setting, were people can feel save and can share their experiences openly.

Working with small groups gives us the opportunity to give you enough attention and personal feedback.

All students will have a personal coach (one of the main teachers) that will help you on your personal journey.

Warm regards,

Ilse Sobering

What a wonderful training!

I recently took a 50-hour Yin Yoga TTC with Ilse.

I love her yoga classes, as well as the Qigong and breathing sessions.

Ilse has such a warm, supportive, and caring approach, which is exactly what is needed in such courses, and I (as a yang person) unexpectedly fell in love with my new yin practice. Thank you, Ilse

Chantal Goldsworthy / Experienced Yoga Teacher (UK)

I will be back next year for another round.

I am so grateful that I booked the Yin Yoga 50-hour TTC in Malaga with Ilse from House of InnerPower. We not only delved deep into the power of Yin Yang, Anatomy, and Philosophy, but also gained insight into Yoga Nidra, Breathwork, QiGong, and much more. It didn't just feel like a course, but truly like a journey of self-discovery.

I recommend Ilse's training 150%!

Daniela Schäfer / Danser, Barre, Yin & Yang Yoga Teacher

Highly recommended.

Ilse, I want to give you a big compliment for guiding me through my Yin Yoga training. As one of the two men in the group with limited experience, I have developed into a beginner teacher with passion! It is a content-strong curriculum, with a beautiful connection to practical Yin Yoga exercises. You know how to bind and captivate the group. In my opinion, this is the place to follow your Yoga training / deepening!

Ilse, thank you so much! Kevin

 

Kevin van der Sande / Ondernemer

Learned a lot.

Learned an incredible amount and enjoyed myself during the Yin Yoga teacher training. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I certainly won't rule out another training in the future! Thank you for the fantastic training!
