Functional & embodied anatomy

Delve deep into the fundamentals of the musculoskeletal system and gain a comprehensive understanding of how joints and muscles function. Explore the application of this knowledge within the context of your yoga practice. By exploring the major body parts, you'll uncover their interconnectedness and how they synergistically work together. Our exploration will extend to the anatomy of breathing and its profound impact on overall well-being.

Pilar 2

Alignment-based study of asanas

Embark on a comprehensive exploration of asana alignments, rooted in anatomical knowledge. Our approach involves organizing asanas into families based on key actions, such as backbends, forward bends, and more. By understanding the relationships between poses, you will gain insights into safe sequencing and observe how alignments intertwine from one pose to another. Through our guidance, you will learn to recognize common compensation tendencies on different bodies, empowering you to modify postures effectively and provide valuable hands-on assist.

As an added bonus, you will receive a basic sequence that can be adapted to meet your intention of practice. Armed with this knowledge, you will have the ability to create both gentle and more challenging vinyasa flows. With this solid foundation, you will teach with greater confidence and have the freedom to develop your own unique teaching style.

A glimpse into the training

Thank you both so much for your comments on my progress and also all of your support and guidance along the way and for creating such a wonderful experience, I am so grateful for everything I have learnt from the training!

Olivia

Truely transformative this YTT200! The amount of knowledge, effort and passion you shared during this training was definitely beyond all expectations! You both mastered the art of holding space whilst also challenging me. Forever grateful! ❤️

Vanessa

Wow, this training has been a truly enriching experience! Not only did I take my first steps towards becoming a yoga teacher, but I also feel richer as a person. The training is comprehensive and includes many aspects of (teaching) yoga but also offers lots of self-exploring. Willemieke and Fanny made their rich knowledge accessible to us through various teaching methods and with a lot of passion! Sometimes through explaining, but also by a lot of hands on practice, applying and trying out on each other right away. The provided manuals are to the point and contain practical tools and overviews. Willemieke and Fanny fostered a safe learning environment in which I felt free to voice my thoughts and share felt experiences with my fellow trainees. This resulted in a deep connection between us which is something I will cherish and am very grateful for.

Wies

Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge and experience with such passion and care—what a transformative journey this has been! Not only did I gain the foundational understanding of anatomy, alignment, and sequencing that I was looking for, but I also discovered a newfound passion for yoga philosophy, thanks to the insightful overview and thought-provoking guidance from Fanny. Most importantly, this training cultivated a space that was both nurturing and challenging, inspiring us to dive deeper within ourselves and truly connect—with our practice, with each other, and with the true essence of yoga. For that, I’m deeply grateful 🙏

Michela

Hey Fanny, I want to say a huge THANK YOU for the whole training journey! ❤️ It has been an incredible half a year of my life and I will be forever grateful for all the effort you and Willemieke put to organize it...for all the manuals, lectures, tools, playful explorations, new prospectives, for believing in us and for giving me the space and freedom to be myself! ❤️ 😊 I really found my new home in this YTT, in yoga and at Tribes 🤗❤️❤️

Maria

It has been incredible to receive your kindness and wisdom, generosity and love. The course work you developed was astonishing in detail and knowledge. You held space for us while challenging us and enjoying our growth. Thank you will never be enough. 🙌🔥❤️

This training has really enriched me in every way. Willemieke and Fanny not only have a lot of knowledge and experience, but they also know how to convey this very beautifully. They provide a safe place where you can grow in your process. There is room for interpretation, the lessons and workshops are very educational and very diverse, and all facets have been taken into account. The training has brought me closer to myself and given me many tools and handles to enrich and improve my lessons. I got to know new sides of myself again. The manuals are extensive and very educational. I am extremely grateful to Willemieke and Fanny, my fellow group members, and to myself for this process. So far this is the best yoga training I have taken.
