Kim Chandler, Spain/England, September 2024
“I recently joined a Yin Yoga course in Orgiva, Spain with Jane Bakx Yoga. I found it to be life-changing for me! I had suffered with hip pain for months and after doing this course for a week I woke up every morning with no pain.
Jane is an excellent teacher and the venue she chose was perfect. I ate the most amazing healthy food and slept in a bed fit for a Queen. Thanks to Amanda for the food and Becky and Kay for the beautiful accommodation at Almond Hill House. Believe me, when I say it was a 5-star experience, I should know because I have been managing yoga retreats for years.”

YOUR TEACHERS
Lead teacher ~ Jane Bakx
I am very excited to host this Yin training and to share all my knowledge with you.
I will teach most of the lectures and practices during this TTC in Spain.
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 TTCs in Spain and The Netherlands
What ex-students say about my Yin yoga TTCs on Bonaire and Curaçao
“I participated in Jane's 50h Yin Yoga teacher course on Curaçao. Initially to become 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
“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, Netherlands, March 2024
“I have been practising with Jane for a few years now when I visit the island and I recently participated in her Yin Yoga TTC on 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 training courses or classes!!”
~ Jennifer Beaulieu, USA, February 2024
“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!”
~ Patrice Rannou, Bonaire, February 2024
“Completely transformed! Thank you Jane for your knowledge, inspiration, kindness, and love. You were an absolute joy to have as a teacher (during 50h Yin Yoga TTC on Curaçao). I look forward to passing on your knowledge to my students. You’ve given me the insight and confidence to truly embody what it is to be a yin yoga instructor. Amazing course. Amazing memories. Thank you so very much. All the best! Xo”

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.

Yes, this course equips you to teach Yin Yoga. Approximately 95% of my students feel confident teaching right after completing the program.

The more personal experience you have, the more confident and effective you’ll be in guiding others.
