Yin Yoga 50hr Teacher Training, Level 1

Hi there – can’t wait to meet you and delve into all things yin and yang on and off the mat! Come and discover your optimized self on this transformational yin course, combining the art of yin and yin yang (practice, theory, and energy embodiment). As well as the usual meridian theory, and posture clinics, you will have the opportunity to deeply embody yin/yang energies via our heart opening cacao ceremonies combined with womb, and breast self massages. All our workshops and sequencing classes are designed to give you unique insight into sequencing yin and yin-yang relative to your feminine cyclical self. After this course you will feel like you’ve shed your old self as you will have re-discovered the why and how of your feminine energies. *includes a pre-course reading list, and ongoing assessment.

Course structure

The training consists of 4 primary formats of imbuing the content. Our focus is on practicing the content via guided Yin sessions and Meditation techniques alongside significant practice of each pose in our Asana Lab. Providing the groundwork for the practice are the lectures which are presented via projector and slide show. Dialogue plays an important role throughout in connecting the content with each student and addressing their questions. Finally the course requires some at home study prior to and during the training to ensure that the individual students are processing the material in their own way. This is accomplished through readings, journaling and an essay. There are no formal tests in the course as we maintain an ongoing evaluation of student comprehension through various means including the Teaching Practicum at the end (don’t worry we keep it super casual and are there to support you in each moment).

Questions about our YTTCs in Greece

FAQ Yoga Teacher Training Europe

What do I need to bring? Here is a packing list for our yoga teacher trainings

Yoga mat, yoga clothes, swim gear, beach attire and protection, warm socks and jumper for early morning/evening and a water bottle. We have all yoga props like blocks, bolsters, belts, and etc. Bring a notebook and pen to reflect on your experience. Most other items can be bought here on the island (Corfu).

Is there a sandy beach close to the retreat center?

Yes, there are multiple sandy beaches in the area. It’s only one minute to the closest beach called Lakkiess. And only a 20 minute walk away lies the beautiful Issos Beach, with a big nature reserve just next to it.

Do I have to share my accommodation? Do you offer private or single rooms during the teachr training?

We offer both shared and private accommodation. Private accommodation guarantees you a private bedroom with a double bed. This can be either a studio-like room with a small kitchen and a balcony, or an apartment-like accommodation where you have your personal private bedroom and share the big kitchen and balcony with max. one other person.
In our shared accommodation you have a shared twin bedroom with two single beds. You share this room with a person of the same sex and also share a bathroom with a maximum of two people from the same apartment.

Can I arrive earliert to the yoga teacher training or stay longer?

Yes, you can book extra nights with breakfast included. Please email us at: andrianacorfu (at) gmail (dot)com We actually recommend taking a bit more time for your journey, because often during a yoga teacher training many things can happen on different levels, so to have time to integrate those changes is a very good idea. Let things first sink before jumping back into daily life. We have many drop-in classes you can join at days where there is no yoga retreat or teacher training happening.

Do you have massages or spa treatments?

We provide massages from our in-house massage therapist Jenny. She has over a decade of experience and offers a variety of treatments. You can directly request to have a daily massage when you book on the website and even save a little money. How does it sound?

What kind of people join the yoga teacher trainings?

People who join us have one passion in common: yoga. We all share similar values and an attitude of an open mind and honesty. Therefore, it's really not about age, gender or your fitness level. We have people joining us from different parts of the world and most participants are between 20-45 years of age, and we have some beautiful souls over 50 who join us regularly. Everyone who comes in peace is welcome at our yoga base here in Corfu.

Can I join the YTTC on my own?

Yes, absolutely! Most people choose to come on their own. It’s an opportunity to meet like-minded people and make new friends. We have made life-long friends through yoga trainings and retreats and even Athina and Cedric (our founders) met on their first yoga teacher training in India! Isn't that a good point?

What is included in your Yoga Teacher Training price package?

Daily yoga and meditation classes, all lectures, workshops and teaching classes, breakfast (for some trainings also lunch, please check on the detail page) & dinner, accommodation and teaching materials.

How many students are on each teacher training?

Most YTTC's we have between 8-22 people. The maximum capacity of our hotel is 29 beds. But we also have some other guests that are not joining a training and just spending time here on their own, diving deep into yoga or just enjoying holidays. An avarage course has 12 people.

Will there be free wifi / internet and cell phone coverage onsite?

Yes, free wifi is available on the property and in all rooms. There is mobile coverage as well, but the quality of reception may vary depending on your provider, since we are in a smaller town. We have a 100mbit line (for the geeks amongst us).

What dietary options do you offer?

All of our meals offer vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options. If you have specific dietary needs or allergies please contact us ahead of time. Most groceries we use are from local farming.

    Do I have to participate in everything on the schedule?

    Well, in a training environment, we expect you to participate in all official lessons – in order to fullfil the requirments of the Yoga Alliance 200-hour attandance. Nevertheless it's up to you, if you decide to do the training simply for your self-education and you don't want a certificate from Yoga Alliance, you can make it into a retreat that just suits you.

    Do you offer any excursions, tours or trips?

    Yes, from short hiking trips to long trips as well as boat trips to different locations on the island, including some time to swim and enjoy the beach. Boat trips have extra fees which we will note in the details section.

    What are your Covid policies at the retreat center? Should I be vaccinated? Wear a mask?

    We follow the nessecary government regulations – please keep yourself up to date for some recent changes. No vaccine required. We care about everybody's health and ask participants to be responsible. We don't want to make it into a political topic. We ask that you attend the courses without any infectious diseases.

    What is Yin Yoga?

    Yin is a very slow yoga practice with only seated and lying down postures that heals and regenerates the body and calms the nervous system. It's a passive practice where muscle tension is released and the focus is on relaxation. Yin yoga is a compliment to other more active forms. It is a very slow-paced passive practice focused on releasing tension, stretching, and relaxation with the goal of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. The postures are mostly in seated or lying down positions (asanas) that are held for a longer period of time than other styles which heals and regenerates the body and calms the nervous system.

    Yes, during the season we have daily drop in yoga classes here in Corfu. Please find the schedule (changing times during season) on the website or write us an email.

    Is the training suitable for beginners in meditation?

    The answer is a clear yes. Our meditations are all guided and everybody can join.

    What is a sound bath?

    A Sound Bath is a very unique experience, especially the first time. As a studied music teacher and pianist, Athina is devote to sound and music. With 7 crystal bowls tuned to the frequencies of the 7 chakras, Athina plays a sound concert of a very special kind, flooding the whole body with vibrations. By stroking and painting those bowls, they start to vibrate and create a smoothing sound in their frequencies tuned in 440 hz. Many testify of wonderful experiences during these sessions. It is said that the vibrations release energetic (emotional) blockages and have a healing and harmonizing effect on the body and mind. It is each time a marvelous experience, but come and witness it for yourself.

    What is a tibetan singing bowl sound healing treatment?

    Sound treatments are here to help you release tension, work through blockages and connect with yourself in a deeper level. During these sound treatments the practitioner utilises the healing aspects of ancient Tibetan techniques and brings them to your body through vibrating singing bowls in the form of waves. The waves, as created by Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, are played with clear intensions and directly from the heart. Sound is such a powerful media, as tradition has shown and modern research has come to support, especially when practitioner and patient/client are working towards the same goal or releasing, connecting, clearing, having left concepts and words outside the treatment room and allowing the vibrations to flow.
