YOUR TEACHER
Jane Bakx
I am very excited to host this Yin training and to share all my knowledge with you.
I will teach all, or most, of the lectures and practices during this TTC in Spain.
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.
You can read more info on me here; About me & What I teach.
Teaching Yoga in a safe way
In my Yin Yoga teacher training, I place strong emphasis on anatomy and the unique differences in our skeletons, and how these factors influence our yoga practice. You'll learn how to practice and teach Yin Yoga safely and responsibly.
I offer in-depth insights into the structures of the body and how they affect the execution of Yin Yoga postures. With thorough knowledge of anatomy, you'll be able to provide the right adjustments and variations, ensuring every student can safely and effectively enjoy the benefits of Yin Yoga.
Your guidance will be based on a solid foundation of understanding and awareness of the body, which is an essential pillar for a balanced and successful Yin Yoga practice.

The seasonal menus are designed to delight your taste buds with a variety of flavors, embracing all the colors of the rainbow.
But it's more than just delicious food; it's about nourishing your body to complement the wonderful effects of the yoga and meditation practices during the Yin TTC. The food you'll enjoy here is carefully chosen to support your body during this training. The nutritious meals are designed to energize and revitalize your body. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your being is cared for during this exclusive Yin Yoga teacher training course.

“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 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!!”
