You are invited to soften into stillness. In this Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Immersion (with Teacher Training elective) you will learn and explore the basic principles of Yin Yoga, Pranayama and Mindfulness Meditation.

This Immersion will allow you to dive deep into the still practices of Yin Yoga and Mindfulness. For those who choose so, there is the option to learn how to teach with confidence and from the heart, based on a solid and effective teaching methodology.

Marije has completed the curriculum of Sarah Powers’ Insight Yoga institute, and continues to study with her. 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.
