Testimonials of former Yin YTT graduates:

  • The Yin Yoga training was a perfect opportunity for me to learn a lot about yin concepts and its “challenges”, mindfulness, to have many valuable insights about teaching yin and to practice Yin amazingly for hours. Matthäa is a very attentive and motivating teacher. I felt very grounded and inspired. Very grateful for this real Yin Yoga experience.

    Oxana (2024)

  • Thank you for this beautiful gift, Matthäa. I loved everything about the training and I am very grateful that I got to learn from your wisdom and your experience in all things Yin. The way how you hold space and share your knowledge with so much passion, dedication and kindness is truly inspiring. I left with an even bigger love for practicing (and teaching) Yin Yoga and I can wholeheartedly recommend Matthäa and her training to anyone wanting to grow as a student and teacher.

    Verena (2024)

  • This was my first Teacher Training and it couldn't have been better. Matthäa organised everything so thoughtful - small gifts on the mats, when we arrived; super detailed YTT manual; and her teaching was besides her extensive knowledge about Yin Yoga super kind and heartwarming. Thank you so much Matthäa!

    Teresa (2024)

  • Matthäa‘s guidance through the training was confident and competent. Her profound knowledge was shared thoroughly and I don‘t think she was holding back or keeping anything to herself. She met everyone where they were on their Yoga teaching journey and her teaching in English was effortless impeccable. Thank you!

    Rabea (2024)

  • The Yin training with you was an incredibly enriching experience for me. Your passion for Yin Yoga was really palpable, as was the love you put into the practice. I learned so much about Yin Yoga and look forward to applying this knowledge in the future.

    Teresa (2024)

  • The training with Matthäa was everything I wished for from a Yin Yoga teacher training. Not only was it very well structured and gave me an incredible amount of knowledge in a very short time, but it also allowed me to grow personally. I am infinitely grateful for Matthäa's knowledge, guidance and would book a training with her again at any time.
