The Essence of Being
Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Mallorca - 70 Hour Yoga Alliance
Upcoming Dates at Son Sion Retreat Center
October 24 - 31, 2026
Our The Essence of Being Yin Yoga Teacher Training is calling you for deep rest and nourishment.
In times when it feels like we are experiencing collective burnout, Yin Yoga is a practice that meets you wherever you are and invites deep rest, connection with whatever wants to be felt, nourishment, and nervous system regulation.
This Yin Yoga Teacher Training is a blend of different modalities. We dive deeply into the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, exploring the emotional and energetic qualities connected to the meridians, while also focusing on nervous system regulation, conscious work with fascia, somatics, and emotional well-being.
Additionally, this Yin Yoga Teacher Training has a strong focus on embodiment, exploring how to engage with the fascial body in informed, safe, and deeply nourishing ways. We move slowly, explore the body gently, and cultivate the essence of being.
Our aim is to offer you an experience that allows you to connect with yourself on a deeper level, find deep rest, and learn how to pass this on to others. In addition to the practical tools we teach, we also support you in developing deep trust in your intuition, so you can teach divinely guided Yin Yoga sequences.
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 get to experience daily Yin Yoga classes as well as Restorative Yoga classes, Yoga Nidra, Sound bath, Cacao ceremony and Kirtan.
Throughout our training, we will equip you with the skills to confidently sequence and offer 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.Whether you are a Yoga Teacher and would like to expand your teachings to nourishing Yin Yoga classes 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.

MARIA DIEHN
Meet the Lead Teacher & Facilitator
“If there’s something we need more of in this world it’s the softness of Yin”
"Yin Yoga is my passion. It lights up my soul to share the wisdom of Yin yoga with our 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 MARiSOL Yoga Academy
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
