I recently completed the 50 Hour Yin Yoga course in Periana with Ilse and it blew my mind, I didn’t want to go home!

The course was jam packed with goodness – asanas, pranayama, anatomy, physiology, philosophy and so much more! The location was breathtaking and the food was out of this world #yummy.

Jane is a wonderful teacher with so much heart, knowledge, passion and professionalism. Anatomy and physiology was never my strong point but the way Jane explains everything was enjoyable and easier to remember. Thank you Jane for unlocking the anatomy and physiology nerd in me!

There is something magical about Ilse! Ilse is very professional, passionate, caring and knowledgeable.Thank you again Ilse for your love, time and devotion. I am so grateful for crossing paths with you and canny wait to see you soon!!

THE POWER OF YIN YOGA

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a very passive approach to Yoga where you perform the majority of the poses seated on the floor or laying down.

The poses are held for longer periods of time, sometimes 3 – 5 minutes and in some cases up to 20 minutes. In Yin Yoga there are around 25 classical poses (+ variations).

Yin Yoga evolves into 3 main different levels of understanding, relating to the 3 main aspects of human existence :

On the physical level Yin Yoga targets bones, joints and connective tissues.

On the energetic level the practice reconnects with its roots of Taoist Yoga, and uses the ancient map and modern theory of the meridians, the long holds in Yin restore harmony in the subtle body by targeting the channels that run through the connective tissues.

On the emotional/mental level the Yin approach prepares the practitioner for meditation as one of the central intention of the yin practice is the cultivation of inner stillness.

Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, fascia, bones, and the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.

 

Yin Yoga offers deeper access to the body with the aim of lubricating and protecting the joints to make them healthier and stronger.

 

Yin Yoga is the perfect compliment to the more yang style of Yoga practice. Yang Yoga practices are vinyasa flow, ashtanga, power Yoga and hatha.

The main difference is that Yin Yoga is very passive with poses being held for longer periods of time.

Another important difference is that in Yin Yoga your muscles need to be relaxed as opposed to engaged, this is so you can work into the deeper layers of the body and move closer to the bone, an area often missed in a yang Yoga practice.

Being a more meditative form of Yoga the benefits affect both body and mind.

 

Yin Yoga poses stimulate the meridian lines and organs. Different emotions are stored in different places in the body, and when we work through the layers of the body, we work also through the layers of our emotions.

Yin Yoga encourages you to become aware of these stored emotions so you can begin to recognize them and release them.

Benefits of Yin Yoga:

Lubrication and protection of joints

Deeper access to the body through the relaxation of muscles

Improves flexibility

Release of fascia throughout the body

Acupressure massage

Regulates energy in the body

Calming and balancing for the mind

Relaxation

Stress reduction and ability to release anxiety

We, Jeroen and Ilse-Marie, and our two daughters Elise-Sophie and Ana Rosa, have found a pretty old cortijo in an incredibly beautiful area.

We are very enthusiastic about the area and like to share it with other people. We organize Yoga retreats, courses and Yoga & walking holidays all year round at the most beautiful places in Andalusia. We really enjoy to create a special program for you. We try to give our retreats and courses something extra. We bring you to beautiful places and organise special activities, hikes and workshops.
