What People Say About Our Courses
I recently completed the 50 Hour Yin Yoga course Ilse and Jane and it blew my mind.
The course was jam-packed with goodness – asanas, pranayama, anatomy, physiology, philosophy and so much more!
Jane is a wonderful teacher with so much heart, knowledge, passion and professionalism. Anatomy and physiology was never my strong point but the way Jane explains everything was enjoyable and easier to remember. Thank you Jane for unlocking the anatomy and physiology nerd in me!
There is something magical about Ilse! Ilse is very professional, passionate, caring and knowledgeable. Thank you again Ilse for your love, time and devotion. I am so grateful for crossing paths with you and canny wait to see you soon!!
I am so happy I chose this course and would highly recommend her to everyone! It was the best Yoga course I have been on and I will definitely go back for more 🙂
Hasta Pronto Guapas x

All my love.”
THE POWER OF YIN YOGA
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a very passive approach to Yoga where you perform most of the poses seated on the floor or in a reclined position.
We hold the poses for longer periods of time, between 2 – 5 minutes and sometimes up to 20 minutes. In Yin Yoga, there are around 20+ 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 intentions 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 complement to the more yang style of Yoga practice. Yang Yoga practices are Vinyasa flow, Ashtanga, Power Yoga, and Hatha.
The major 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

Yoga Nidra Session
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra— yogic sleep—is a meditation and conscious relaxation practice that is intended to induce total physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. This state is reached by separating the external awareness of the physical body through various stages. It results in a state where you are asleep with a trace of awareness. It’s a beautiful practice, gaining popularity across the world and ongoing research continues to prove its effectiveness.
The benefits of Yoga Nidra are numerous. It helps people to reduce stress, improve creativity, create focus, gives a deep rest in a few minutes, similar to rest after an overnight sleep.
“Thank you for this week. I made wonderful new colleagues and enjoyed myself more than expected. I was most surprised by how “down-to-earth” and experienced teachers were. This was a pleasant surprise and makes me feel proud to potentially teach yoga. This was an unforgettable week I will take with me and share for my life. I hope to see you again in the future.”
