Why choose this 50h Yin TTC:
There are a lot of Yoga Teacher Training courses on the market. You should choose one that feels good.
I have done several teacher courses in the past and have learned what I find important in a course.
I am a down-to-earth yogi that will offer you a professional comprehensive course that I have created with a lot of passion. I have learned so much that I would like to share with you. As for many of us, a teacher training course is a big positive turning point in my life and a beautiful journey.
You will find a lot of teacher training centres that have courses in huge groups.
I have chosen to work with smaller groups (8 students max.). This creates a nice and intimate setting, where people can feel safe and can share their experiences openly.
Working with a small group allows me to give you a lot of attention and personal feedback.

“I attended the 50h Yin YTT with Jane, and it was beyond my expectations. I have practised with her already for three years. I usually take Vinyasa classes.
Fifty hours might seem like a short amount of time, but it was spread over two long weekends on Bonaire and she shared loads of information.
Jane is very knowledgeable about anatomy and breathing, especially regarding this subject, and explains it very clearly. In addition, we learned about Yin asanas, sequencing, philosophy, pranayama, energy systems and much more.
Jane is an excellent teacher; passionate, to the point, and she also knows how to make tea. ;-)
If a 50h Yin YTT is on your list and you have the opportunity to attend one of Jane's trainings, do it!”
~ Jennifer Beaulieu, Bonaire, February 2024
“I have been practising with Jane for a few years now when I visit the island and I recently participated in her Yin TTC in Bonaire and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Jane is such a beautiful person and she teaches with such passion! I have been practising yoga for many years and in these two weekends I learned so much that I can take home to my practice and hopefully one day share with others. I met some amazing people that I will never forget. This experience was physically good for me but it was also good for my soul and I attribute that to Jane and her wonderful teaching style.
If you have the opportunity I strongly suggest you participate in one of her classes or courses!!”

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 the lectures and practices during this course 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.
You can read more info on me here; About me & What I teach.

REVIEWS
What ex-students say about my Yin Yoga course
“I would like to give Jane 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. Jane manages to bind and captivate the group. As far as I'm concerned, she is the teacher to follow your Yoga training/deepening with!
Jane, thank you very much!”
~ Kevin Van Der Sande, Netherlands, November 2022
“I just finished the 50h Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Jane 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
“I recently completed a Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Jane, and her patience, dedication, and passionate approach made all the difference. Her warm and caring personality created a safe environment where everyone felt comfortable, while her detailed explanations of anatomy enhanced our understanding of Yin Yoga's benefits. I left feeling inspired and ready to teach Yin Yoga myself. I highly recommend Jane's program if you seek Yin Yoga teacher training!”
~ Paulinka Roemer-Schipper, Curaçao, March 2024
“I participated in Jane's 50h yin yoga teacher course on Curaçao. Initially with the aim of becoming the best yogi possible. You will receive a lot of information about anatomy, philosophy, etc. and you will practice with the poses individually and in groups (how to be a guide). Alternated with a yin class that she gives herself for relaxation. (wonderful). She brings all this in a very relaxed atmosphere. She responds well to what is happening, little escapes her. If necessary, she returns to topics and issues that are being discussed (very alert).
In short, excellent lessons for both those who want to use it for their own practice and for prospective yoga teachers.
Thank you very much for everything Jane 🙏”
~ Paul van den Berg, Curaçao, March 2024
“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!”
~ Annette Rieger, Belgium, October 2019

This is not a yes or no answer. It depends on the person. If you are not doing this course to become a teacher (you want to learn all about the benefits of Yin Yoga for yourself) then this is definitely a course for you.
If you want to guide others, you can still do this course, but I recommend to first practice yourself for at least 6 months to a year before you start to teach. So please connect with me and tell me your story. -
Yes, this course equips you to teach Yin Yoga. Approximately 95% of my students feel confident teaching right after completing the program.
If you are new to yoga, you’re welcome to take this course, but I recommend practicing on your own for at least six months before you start teaching. This allows you to gain more experience with the poses, understand how they feel in your body, and observe their effects. The more personal experience you have, the more confident and effective you’ll be in guiding others.
