The Essence of Being
Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Mallorca – 70 Hour Yoga Alliance
Upcoming Dates at Sanau Retreat Center
May 9-16, 2026
Join us for a deeply immersive 70-hour The Essence of Being Yin Yoga Teacher Training at the magical Retreat Center Sanau in Mallorca.
We explore Yin Yoga from a wide, integrated and feminine embodiment oriented perspective. We focus on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, where we look closely at the emotional and energetical qualities connected to each Yin Yang organ pair and how to safely work with them. You learn to understand how Yin Yoga can support energetic balance and emotional regulation, always approached with a trauma-informed lens and respect for individual experiences.
Additionally this Yin Yoga teacher training has a strong focus on embodiment and the latest fascia research, exploring how to engage with the fascial body in ways that are informed, safe and deeply nourishing. We take it slow, explore our bodies softly and cultivate the art of being – the essence of Being. A somatic approach, the chakra system and the five elements are all woven into the training to support a holistic and embodied understanding of yin. The aim is for you to not only learn about Embodiment & Yin yoga but also find peace, connection, and nourishment through the magic of this beautiful practice, the community that holds us and by the nature that surrounds us.
We will furthermore explore how Yin Yoga can help with stress, anxiety, exhaustion and the effect it has on our nervous system. The training also covers a trauma-informed approach to Yin Yoga.
The essence of Being Yin Yoga Teacher Training certified by the Yoga Alliance offers you a week-long immersion into this practice of self-care and the art of being. Held at the stunning Retreat Center Sanau, surrounded by Mallorca’s natural beauty, you’ll engage in daily Yin Yoga and Yin Yang Yoga sessions.
Throughout your training, you’ll gain the skills to confidently design and lead your own The Essence of Being Yin Yoga classes.
Upon completion of this comprehensive 70-hour training, you’ll receive a Yoga Alliance-approved certificate, furthering your journey in the practice.Whether you are a Yoga Teacher and would like to expand your teachings to Yin Yoga or you simply love Yin Yoga and would like to deepen your practice as well as deepen your knowledge, we would love to welcome you to our The Essence of Being Yin Yoga Teacher Training.

“If there’s something we need more of in this world it’s the softness of Yin”
“My big passion is Yin Yoga. It lights up my soul to share the wisdom of Yin yoga with my students and see how they start to embody the Yin aspects of life. If there’s something we need in this world it’s the softness of Yin.” – Maria, Founder of Yoga MariSol
Maria discovered Yin Yoga in Byron Bay, Australia, and did her first Yin Yoga Teacher Training soon after her discovery of this calming practice. She fell in love with this softer, feminine side of Yoga and is still amazed by the healing power of the practice. She evolved her teachings by consciously studying, practicing, and teaching Yin Yoga.

FAQ
Is the training certified with the Yoga Alliance?
Yes, MARiSOL Yoga Academy is a certified Yoga School 200 as well as a YACEP (Yoga Alliance continuing education provider)
Can I join the training without being a Yoga Teacher?
Yes, the groups are generally a mix of Yoga Teachers that seek professional development, individuals that seek personal development, introspection, self-care, and other Wellness professionals (Bodyworkers, energy healers, sound healers) that seek this training to expand their offerings.
Can I book an early check-in or late check-out?
Unfortunately, we can’t accommodate that, since the Retreat Center is booked all year around and we only get access in the afternoon. If you have an early flight incoming or late flight outgoing you can spend some time in Palma and take the airport bus to get back to the shuttle.
Which Airport do I need to fly to and how do I get to the Retreat Center?
The Airport is Palma de Mallorca. The Retreat center is off-grid and therefore not accessible by public transport. You could go by Taxi, rent a car or join the free shared shuttle we are offering.
Can I extend my stay and arrive earlier or stay longer?
There are no individual stays possible at the retreat center. If you’d like to extend your stay we recommend Palma, Illetas, Soller, Valldemossa and Es Trenc.
What is the maximum number of participants?
The group size is typically up to 20 participants
