Working with a small group allows me to give you a lot of attention and personal feedback.
~ Mariska Vermeer, Curaçao, August 2022
“I attended the 50h Yin YTT with Jane and it was beyond expectations. Fifty hours sounds like a short period of time but within this week she shared tons of information. Especially about anatomy, one of the reasons I wanted to do this course. Jane knows so much about this topic and explains it in a very clear way. Besides that we learned about asanas, sequencing, philosophy, pranayama, energy systems, and lots more. Jane is a great teacher; passionate, to the point and funny. If a 50h Yin YTT is on your list and you have the possibility to attend one of Jane’s trainings: do it!”
~ Paulinka Roemer-Schipper, Curaçao, March 2024
“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!”

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.

Information we also give you during our training, but it’s great to repeat what we learn so that it will stay put in our brains.
