50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Heimbach

We like the balance of precise teaching skills and quiet retreat rhythm. The programme moves from the foundations of Yin Yoga into anatomy, sequencing and supervised practice, with the Eifel landscape offering a calm backdrop between sessions.

Spend six days at Anandam Yoga School in Heimbach, close to Eifel National Park and Lake Rursee. This 50-hour YACEP course takes a practical look at Yin Yoga through 26 asanas and their variations, alignment, anatomy, meridian theory, sequencing and the considered use of props.

The training is intensive, with the organiser indicating around eight to ten hours of study each day. Sessions may cover meditation, Yin practice, 26 postures and modifications, the nervous system, spine, hips and connective tissues, meridians, teaching methodology, sequencing and props. The published timetable is indicative and may change.

The live page currently lists a shared twin room at US$1,449 and a private double room at US$1,560, with a US$448 deposit. Five nights, three vegetarian meals daily, water and tea, course materials, yoga props, Wi-Fi, certification, excursions and evening activities are included. Flights, airport transfers, travel insurance, visas and optional extras are not included. The training is taught in English and is open to adults aged 18 and over; the organiser lists beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Check the live terms carefully: the page mentions free cancellation within 72 hours, while its policy section says deposits are non-refundable and the balance is due about four weeks before arrival.
