I am very excited to host this Yin training and to share all my knowledge with you.
I will teach all the lectures and practices during this TTC on Bonaire.
I learned all about Yin yoga directly from Bernie Clark himself, the author of ‘The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga’. I love Yin and am a total anatomy & physiology nerd and it’s important to me to make sure you get a good basic understanding of both during this TTC.

“I would like to give Jane and Ilse a big compliment for the guidance of my Yin Yoga teacher training, at the fantastic location Heart to Heart in Bussum. As one of the two men in the group, I have developed myself with my limited experience into a starting teacher with passion! It is a strong curriculum, with a nice link to the practical Yin Yoga exercises. Together, Jane and Ilse manage to bind and captivate the group. As far as I'm concerned, they are the teachers to follow your Yoga training/deepening with!
Jane and Ilse, thank you very much!”

“I just finished the 50h Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Jane and Ilse in Spain. It was amazing. I loved it so much! The knowledge, the program, the place, the food, the people, and the workshops, it felt magical and I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for this beautiful experience and support. I would love to come back one day.”
— Mieke Zuidgeest, netherlands, june 2022
“Thank you so much for this very special week!
I thought it was very special, that you really try to share everything you know and don’t hold back in order to make everyone the best teacher they can be.
I feel deeply inspired. One of the many things I learned is that breathing in is also called INSPIRATION!
Much love!”

“A great journey, 7 days Yin Yoga Teacher Training. It wasn’t quite what I expected but a much more rich experience if you are willing to open up and letting it go. This training tells its own story. I experienced this as a great adventure. A few days after this training I found my lower back much more flexible and less pain although I practice Yoga every day for over 15 years.
Two weeks training packed in 7 days. Many aspects of philosophy, anatomy and Yin Yoga training and also theory and practices of Pranayama, meditation and Qi Gong. I found an amazing course, shaped by two great and inspiring teachers, Ilse and Jane. If you thinking about a great gift to yourself that pays itself back many times, this is a great opportunity.”
— Frank Frijns, Netherlands, september 2020
“This has been one of the best weeks of my life!!
Ilse and Jane have a wonderful energy! They both radiate an incredible amount of love and passion, which fills you up with energy and inspiration.
During these 7 days of training I have grown as a person. I learned about myself and gained the confidence and knowledge that I needed to start teaching my own classes.
I am immensely grateful for this experience, dor the amount of useful information I learned, for the beautiful people I met, and, especially, for the teachers, Ilse and Jane, who made all this possible. I love you so much! Thank you!!”

“Thank you for this week. I made wonderful new colleagues and enjoyed myself more than expected. The villa was beautiful and inspiring at every turn. I felt at home here immediately. Alejandro’s food is brilliant. It has been years since I ate this well! I was most surprised by how “down-to-earth” and relatable the group, especially experienced teachers were. this was a pleasant surprise and makes me feel proud to potentially teach yoga. This was an unforgettable week I will take with me and share for my life. I hope to see you again in the future.”
