Training days 2026
Eva created this 200 hours Teacher Training in such a way that it gives you frequent training weekends, but also time to digest the things you learned. In between every training weekend you’ll have two or three weeks to practice what you’ve learned and study for the upcoming weekend.
Besides the training days you will need to make time to practice and study (homework).
Homework: next to the in-person and online training, expect a few hours a week for ‘homework’: reviewing the online content, start practicing teaching, assignments for the next weekend, self-practice, preparation for the exams. The amount of time spent on this will differ per person. We encourage you to make a strong commitment for the training months, to get the most out of the training.
We ask for 100% attendance during the weekends in the studio and sending in all assignments on time to be able to receive your teaching certificate. Included in this is a practical exam where you will create and teach a Yin class with 2 other students.

Benefits of Yin Yoga in daily life
Yin Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation are inseparable and are excellent tools which can help us to stay here and now and reduce the stress response.
When you stay longer in a Yin pose, you create space where you can recognize your reactive thinking patterns, let them be and investigate them with loving kindness and self-compassion. You can see your thoughts and emotions as waves in the ocean of your consciousness. It helps you to get out of the vicious circle of repetitive thinking and to find peace again.
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced approach practice where poses are held for a longer period of time in a relaxed way, from 2 to 5 minutes or more. The practice requires letting go of muscle engagement, which helps develop physical relaxation and flexibility. The real challenge of Yin Yoga lies in the ability to remain still and stay mindful and present with what comes up during the poses.
Yin Yoga is a method that teaches you to let go and surrender, to slow down and stop identifying with the streams of thoughts and emotions, cultivating a deeper state of relaxation.
Yin yoga helps us physically, mentally as well as emotionally to stay grounded, healthy and experience real restfulness. In a Yin yoga class, all these qualities are practiced.
Physically we open our body specifically on the level of connective tissue, our ‘Yin tissue’. By applying gentle stretch we keep our joints, bones and connective tissue healthy and resilient.
Also, we train our nervous system to release and move into a rest and digest mode. Our mind has the opportunity to calm down and switch to a broader awareness. We start to feel the more subtle energetic processes in ourselves, how the connection of our mind with our body works and the other way around. It is an exploration of silence and stillness, we practice the art of resting and pausing.
