In this Yin Yoga Teacher Training you will learn and explore the basic principles of Yin Yoga and how to teach this practice effectively and safely.

Marije is an experienced Insight Yoga teacher, endorsed by Sarah and Ty Powers’ Insight Yoga Institute. This training is based on what Marije has learned during her many years of studying with renowned teachers, and her own experience as a dedicated practitioner.
