The Essence of Being

Yin Yoga Teacher Training

Mallorca – 70 Hour Yoga Alliance

Upcoming Dates at Son Sion Retreat Center

October 24 – 31, 2026

Join us for a deeply immersive 70-hour The Essence of Being Yin Yoga Teacher Training at the magical Retreat Center Son Sion in Mallorca.

We explore Yin Yoga from a wide, integrated and 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 Yin yoga & embodiment 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.

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 Son Sion, 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 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.

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.

I don’t know how to put my experience of my Yin yoga teaching training with Maria into words. Even before the training started Maria organised everything so well and made sure my needs were met and all my questions were answered.

I have done several yoga teaching trainings but Maria’s training absolutely stands out. From the very first moment, I felt so welcome, safe, and looked after. The location was beautiful, the food was delicious but what really made the training was Maria.

Her knowledge and passion for yoga, her caring personality, and her ability to show her vulnerability made this training truly unique. She knew how to hold space for whatever came up during the training, tears, laughter, questions.

I feel confident to teach yin yoga and hope to share it with the passion Maria has.

Susan Puts

A wonderful training experience. Maria is an empathic teacher, taking everyone’s individual needs and experience into account. Warm, knowledgeable and encouraging. It was also great to see a ‘trauma informed approach’ taught as part of the training. Maria has gone out of her way to understand the autonomic nervous system, anxiety and trauma, and this shows in her approach. The Finca was delightful and the surroundings very much gave us a sense of being in nature – and the cooking was truly scrumptious too! It was hard to leave and go home.

Janet Slater

Maria has a genuine passion for Yoga and especially Yin Yoga and she is able to create a unique learning space where everyone feels comfortable and safe.

She has a deep knowledge that she shares with students in a very structured way, allowing everyone to go at their own pace.

Her Yoga style is soft and feminine, encouraging everyone to do what’s best for their own body, finding the right depth of positions.

She has a gift for teaching and sharing her passion and I got much more out of the training than I had expected.

Eva Hartl

I recently completed Yoga MariSol’s Yin teacher training. It was the most incredible experience I could’ve asked for and felt like a combination of a beautiful retreat and teacher training.

It exceeded expectations on all fronts from the yoga classes, Yin lectures, delicious food, and the incredible venue. The schedule was carefully thought out and I felt at home straight away.

Maria is so gifted and I feel honored to be able to have done this training she offers. I will continue taking Maria’s classes on zoom from the UK as I’ve never met a teacher quite like her!

Rosie Parton

I wanted to gain knowledge in my practice and have the opportunity to work with an experienced Yin Yoga practitioner and teacher. My personal goal is to continue on my own journey of connecting body, mind and soul and to become a better instructor.

I was drawn to Maria´s description of both her own experiences, her structured plan for the day and her ambitions with the teacher training.

The Yin yoga instruction of both Maria and Susan exceeded my expectations. Maria provided for and facilitated a caring and nurturing environment allowing the students to learn and to experience based on their own needs. We were a diverse group of women wrt age, nationality, and where we were in life. Maria´s facilitation gave us the opportunity to learn and experience a diversity of knowledge—-far beyond the Yin practice—or maybe this is what Yin is—-kindness, sharing, caring and learning as one. This was the best circle of women with the most amazing instructor (Maria) I have ever had. I will never forget the training, the time spent, the women who made this training possible. Each and everyone was unique and beautiful.

I recommend Maria in all possible ways —one of the most amazing instructors, a beautiful human being, an empowering human being. In addition, the chef was amazing, and provided us with healthy nourishment. I will be coming back again and again—to continue to learn and grow. Maria is an inspiration to Yoga worldwide. THANK YOU for the opportunity Maria, Namaste.

Anna Kirah

This training was the best course I have ever done. Maria is an absolute lady,a natural born leader, the complete professional and delivered more than just yin yoga teacher training this week. Her commitment, care and devotion to this training was evident every moment from early morning to last thing at night. She is patient , caring and full of knowledge and wisdom, passionate about her subject knowledge and it was a privilege to be in receipt of her teaching and learning in the beautiful finca for those magical 8 days. We explored depths of the practice that I did not think were possible and the structure and manual and teachings were extremely well prepared and delivered. I cannot recommend this training enough. I loved it ! Thank you so much Maria.

Fiona McArdle

What a truly enriching experience to end the year with!
Maria has put her heart and soul into creating a comprehensive and well rounded Yin Yoga Teacher training, and – together with the amazing assistant teacher Lally- provided a week of deep, integrative learning.
I absolutely loved every part of our well structured daily schedule. Adding to that the serene location, incredibly delicious and nourishing food, as well as great facilities in and around the finca made for a winning combo, and a special week I’ll always remember ( so happy that the stars aligned to get one of the last spots for the December training… )
If you’re looking to learn from /alongside a caring, warm and down-to-earth teacher, who shares her extensive knowledge with passion as well as a great sense of humor, I highly recommend Yoga MariSol and certainly hope to return to another training myself in the near future.
With a huge, heartfelt THANKS.

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.

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.
