8 AM – 5 PM (8 hours a day)

Lunch break from noon – 1 PM.

Welcome to Yin Yoga Teacher Training I

This 50 hour intensive program (6 days) is divided into 4 segments:

1st segment: Yin Yoga Asanas

Learn 20 Yin Yoga postures in theory and practice, with their points of attention and effects.

2nd segment: Anatomy is the key

Anatomical understanding of the individual bone structure, muscle, connective, fascia and ligament tissue.

Segment 3: 7-point analysis principle for assists

The Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training is less about teaching set assists and more about introducing a 7-point analysis principle that can be used for every known yoga posture and every person.

4th segment: 7-point analysis principle in application – 20 tests

In the Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training we use and learn practical test series to analyze the bone structure, compression and tension of our students. In a safe atmosphere, we learn to read the person, to feel our own limitations and to test and recognize the limitations of others, which comes with many insights and a great self-confidence to be able to assess what needs and limitations a student has.

The foundation has been laid.

Markus has received more than 10,000 hours of training in dance, yoga, massage, bodywork, anatomy, meditation and energy worksince 1990.

With over 30 years of teaching experience, Markus is an “old hand” and one of the most recognized Yin Yoga & Anatomy teachers in the German-speaking world.

Markus’ love for yoga was awakened by the world-famous power yoga rock star and yoga rebel Bryan Kest, with whom he completed a 350-hour teacher training in Mexico.

Through Bryan he became aware of Yin Yoga and the unique Yin Yoga & Anatomy teachers Paul & Suzee Grilley. Markus, now a passionate Yinster, went through a variety of Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings with Paul and Suzee and has been their assistant since the beginning of 2015.

Yin yoga, yoga anatomy, individual bone structure, chakra meditation, yoga philosophy (yoga sutras, Bhagavad Gita) are just a few of the outstanding topics covered in Paul and Suzee Grilley’s multifaceted training.

Markus also completed a Yin/Yang Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training with the incredibly inspiring Sarah Powers, founder of Insight Yoga. Her approach to blending the insights and practices of yoga with Buddhism, Taoism and transpersonal psychology is unique and fascinating and a perfect complement to Paul & Suzee’s teaching.

Karla Brodie and Neal Ghoshal, authentic and inspiring Restorative Yoga teachers, imparted their unique approach to yoga to him in their Restorative Yoga Teacher Training.
