Yoga Alliance® 35-hour pranayama course online
Together with Ilse-Marie Sobering from InnerPower Yoga, I am hosting this beautiful 35h Pranayama course.
The training is in English and will be held mostly live online via Zoom. And also includes daily breathwork practices in your own time with pre-recorded videos.
The course takes place in January and February 2024 and is spread out over 2,5 weeks. It consists of 8 (live) online sessions spread out over those 2,5 weeks. Sessions will be held on the weekends (CET: in the afternoon) and a few weekdays (CET: in the evening).
However, we want to be flexible with busy students who can’t make all of the set dates of the live sessions and students in different time zones. If you’re unable to participate in a live session, you may watch it later. The live online sessions will be recorded and you’ll get access to them.
The set-up of this course gives you time to digest the new information in between sessions and offers you the opportunity to take this course partly in your own time.

Sunday 21 January - Wednesday 7 February
The opening session is on Sunday 21 January.
From Sunday 21 January, you will practice Pranayama every day (short to medium-long sessions, preferably in the morning) during the whole course (2,5 weeks). You do these Pranayama practices with the help of pre-recorded videos.
The last live online session is on Wednesday 7 February.

We have chosen to work with smaller groups. Although it is online this will still keep it personal. Especially if you are attending the live online sessions this creates a nice and intimate setting, where students can feel safe. Also, we give students time to practice teaching with their fellow students online via Zoom.
Furthermore, working with small groups gives us the opportunity to give enough personal attention and personal feedback.

A LOT OF PERSONAL CONTACT
BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE ONLINE TRAINING
Are you worried that an online training means that it will not be personal? We understand that, so we want to make sure that that will not happen.
BEFORE – PRECARE
You can talk with us over the phone, via email or Whatsapp concerning any questions about the course if you have them. And at the start of the course, we will have an online live video session with a welcome speech, introduction round and Q&A.
DURING THE COURSE
A big part of the classes will be via live online video sessions. You can ask direct questions, chat and interact. We have Q&A check-in moments during the live sessions.
And during the live online sessions, we give you time to practice teaching with your fellow students via Zoom (Break-out rooms). It’s a great way to share and bond with the group and of course, practice your teaching/practice skills.
You will also have one of the teachers as a personal mentor. You can always have a personal chat with your mentor via email, phone or Whatsapp.
AFTERCARE
At the end of the course, we will have an online live meeting for feedback and Q&A. And you can always ask the teachers additional questions after the course.
In general, we have very supportive groups. From experience, we can say that there is a lot of interaction and sharing between the students after the course. Which is very valuable and special.
The teachers
I am very excited to host this online course and to share all my knowledge with you. You can read more info on me here; About me & What I teach.
I host and teach this training together with
Ilse-Marie Sobering who is an experienced
E-500RYT Yoga Teacher.
”The perfect couple!” This is the feedback we get every single time we teach a yoga teacher training together.
Our students say we complement each other so well, we are the perfect Yin & Yang, a good balance between heart energy and being grounded.
I love working with my friend Ilse-Marie. Ilse is more spiritual. She teaches a lot of philosophy, pranayama and meditation. In her teaching style, stimulating the flow of Prana (life-force energy) is one of the main focuses.
I bring more focus on the physical body, with a strong emphasis to connect to yourself during the yoga practice and I have a great passion for anatomy and physiology. It is our passion to share our knowledge with our students.
About Ilse-Marie
Ilse is the founder of InnerPower Yoga.
Ilse did several teacher training courses. She is skilled in various yoga styles and over the years has created her own style by mixing various styles of yoga.

Ilse-Marie: “I live a lot more in the present moment, I can handle stress better and I enjoy the small things in life a lot more. Yoga to me is a still point in this fast-changing world. I have also realized what is important to me and how I can make a positive contribution in my own way. Teaching gives me a lot of energy and I think it’s great to see what positive effect it has on people. It is beautiful to share my knowledge with others and to do what I really love.”

Some reviews on our live online Yin Yoga TTC
“I have just recently completed the 50hr Yin Yoga Teacher's training, online via Zoom. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it. The lessons were well structured and thought out, so much beautiful information was transmitted that my head is still buzzing. The whole experience was really great and I feel well equipped to be able to teach yin in a knowledgeable, compassionate and informed way. I loved every aspect of the course and doing it in the comfort of my home was an added bonus as I could structure my life around it. It is definitely something I would do again and I look forward to more online courses from Jane. As I'm currently living in Africa and won't be traveling for the next year this is definitely the way to learn from the best teachers. Thank you Jane for making this possible! I look forward to the next one!”

“I had some trepidations about doing an online yin teacher training course but having recently taken the plunge and gone ahead with an online yin course with Jane and Ilse, I have to say I am absolutely delighted with the experience and the learnings I have received from these two enlightened yogis from both a scientific/anatomy perspective as well as a spiritual perspective. Both teachers prepared an excellent engaging course with world class materials and were always on hand to lend support and mentorship throughout the program. We formed a whatsapp group with all the teacher trainees which built a community feel and everyone was assigned a mentor who would be the or point of contact during the course. This course suite well on the basis I did not have to take vacation from work and travel, I was able to receive quality training from the comfort of my own sitting room. Highly recommend it and if anyone is considering a course with Ilse or Jane why not contact them to learn more. Thanks Jane and Ilse.”
— Lisa Conlan, spain, july 2020
“What a wonderful journey this Yin Yoga Training Course with Jane Bakx and Ilse Marie Sobering has been! Jane and Ilse are highly knowledgeable yoga teachers and show beautiful human qualities. Their unique teacher training covers a wide variety of topics including history and philosophy of yoga, poses, teaching techniques and practices. I strongly recommend the TTC!”
— Céline Lesage, France, April 2021
“Thank you dear Jane for the wonderful Yin training I did with you online. It was for me the first time to do this online, but it felt as if we were together instead of in front of our computers. Your knowledge about Yoga and Anatomy is very good.
I can highly recommend Jane as a Yoga teacher🙏🏼🌺”
