The Essence of Being

Yin Yoga Teacher Training

Mallorca – 70 Hour Yoga Alliance

Upcoming Dates at Sanau Retreat Center

May 9-16, 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.

      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 since I first discovered it in Byron Bay, Australia over a decade ago. It lights up my soul to share the nourishment of Yin yoga with our students and see how they start to embody the softer, feminine 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 fulltime teaching Yin Yoga.

      I completed 200 hours YTT with Maria and it has been exceptional. Yin Yoga Somatic‘s Yoga Yin Yang Yoga Over 1 year. I attended in person twice. The venue, the location, the food are top quality. Maria’s teachings are approachable, leaning on so many real examples. She is encouraging and open. She always brings together amazing people and the place feels very safe to express yourself and go deeper. I learnt a lot from Maria and the excellent other teachers who attended. She is exactly what the yoga world needs and teaches in a way that we should be taught now in 2025 modern inclusive and mindful.

      What a transformative journey! The YTT with MARiSOL Yoga Academy in Mallorca has been for me one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The training was packed with information, activities and blissful moments of heart to heart connections and sharing. Maria has the ability to create the perfect circumstances for the learning process to unfold organically and smoothly. By the end of the week I felt so very much ready to get out there in the world and share the transformative power of Yin. Besides the technical aspects of the teaching that were delivered at the highest standard, the connections made in the training are the type of connections you want to cherish for life and that was such a precious gift too. The venue is also outstanding, with plenty of outdoor and indoor spaces, an amazingly beautiful Shala and a luxury touch. Not to mention the food! I would recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their practice and have a life changing experience.

      A truly transformative experience I had the absolute privilege of joining Maria’s somatic yoga teacher training last week — and I can honestly say it was one of the most meaningful learning experiences I’ve had in a long time. Maria holds space with so much clarity, depth, and heart. Her way of guiding is both grounded and intuitive — blending knowledge, presence, and deep listening in a way that feels rare. I learned more than just techniques or theory… I learned how to meet the body with compassion, how to listen below the surface, and how to trust the intelligence of sensation. This training didn’t just teach me how to guide others — it brought me closer to myself. Maria, thank you for your generosity, your wisdom, and for sharing your truth in such a powerful way. If you’re considering working with her — say yes. You’ll leave changed in all the best ways.

      Claudia Steimer

      Maria is an amazing trainer who has abundance of unconditional love within her. Over a year ago, I joined her ‘yoga as healing modality teacher training’ which nowadays is called ‘somatic yoga teacher training’ both a 70 hours program. My experience was something I can’t describe, it was a big inner journey for me. Learning the somatics, coming back to our body really tapped the place within me that I haven’t met. Maria invited various wonderful guests teachers; we had blue lotus ceremony, breathwork class, elemental yin yang that was based on womb related dynamic and movement class that’s based on TCM principles. The food on the villa was nourishing. I craved for more of this experience so last November I joined her 70 hours ‘yin yoga teacher training’ as a part of 200 hours program. What really drawns me to Maria is the contsiner she created, it’s a space for learning with freedom and un-wounding, not to mention aesthetic. She makes learning something new so accessible and easy for all my body, mind and soul. She sees me through while we still respect each other boundaries. And last month I completed the 60 hours ‘ying yang yoga teacher training’ online program where in total….200 hours of training. I’m so so thankful also for her feedback on my Praktikum, she reminds me to stay true and authentic to my own offering in class, which really motivates me to offer liberated and braver spaces for people where every depth is welcome. I can not emphasize how I recommend truly all of Maria’s offering. Thank you Maria, so grateful for your being ✨️❤️
