Yin Yoga online training
Teachings in French - 🇫🇷
Who can benefit from our training courses?
These courses are aimed at yoga teachers or students who have been practicing yoga regularly for at least a year and wish to deepen their understanding of yoga.
No previous experience of Yin Yoga is necessary.
You don't have to be a yoga teacher or even become one, but a keen interest in the study of yoga, anatomy, traditional Chinese medicine, philosophy and meditation is essential.
Our modular approach to Yin Yoga distinguishes itself by offering 3 different training themes: the physical, energetic and psychological aspects of yoga practice.
This approach offers an integral training to practitioners and teachers interested in Yin Yoga as a platform for study.

Week of June 09 to 15, 2025
Dear friends, we're delighted to announce our Yin Yoga - TCM & Taoism training module .
In this 50-hour module, we return to the Taoist roots of Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine. We move from the physical body to the energy network, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
We'll start by setting out the framework of Taoist philosophy, and study the main concepts of their vision to understand their holistic approach to nature, humanity and cosmology.
This leads naturally to the concept of Wu-Xing (the 5 movements/elements). One day will be devoted to each element according to the generative cycle: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. In order to learn the physiological, energetic and psychological characteristics of each element, as well as the location of the associated meridians .
We have two objectives with these 50 hours spent together:
1. equip you with sufficient knowledge of Taoist concepts and Chinese Medicine to enable you to practice, teach and pursue your studies in these two fields with confidence.
2. Give you first-hand experience of Qi apprehension through the practice of Yin Yoga, Qi Gong and Taoist meditative techniques.
We've developed a series of visuals for most of the concepts we'll be covering, giving illustrative support to the many Taoist concepts and TCM.
This module is steeped in Taoist philosophy, skilfully combining the two traditions of Yoga and Taoism. The practice of Yin Yoga combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a unique experience of learning a health system and a methodology enabling the practitioner to regulate his or her vital force called Qi or Prana. This training module is heavily influenced by Taoist philosophy and returns to the roots of Yin Yoga.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Module Anatomy & Functional Approach
August 18 to 24, 2025
50 hours of training over one week
Payment in instalments possible
Our anatomy module takes you into the functional approach of Yin Yoga
-
Week of August 18 to 24, 2025
Dear friends, we are delighted to announce our training module on Yin Yoga - Anatomy & Functional Approach.
We share with you new tools to apply, such as the 10 myofascial compartments targeting the legs and torso, and the 14 skeletal segments to define areas of tension and compression.
This will enable you to engage in the 7 archetypal poses and their variations, which will meet the needs of all practitioners.
This immersive week will delve into the anatomy of yoga practice by mapping the body and cataloguing the human anatomy into compartments and then into targeted zones. The result is a methodology created by Paul and Suzee Grilley, founders of the Yin Yoga approach, called 14 / 10 / 7.
Initially, this method will enable practitioners to develop a refined sense of interoception, enabling them to define and link each sensation in terms of tension and compression to targeted zones. This understanding enables us to adapt each posture to our own morphology, and to teach the practice while taking into account the subjectivity of each practitioner.
We will provide you with a manual to accompany our teaching.
We'll share these concepts with you using visuals, presentations and superb slideshows, giving visual support to this functional approach.
As we learn this functional approach, we share with you the story and qualities of this inner practice. Beyond the anatomical and mechanical understanding of the body, this methodology/pedagogy, known as the functional approach, frees us completely from the dogma of the ideal pose. This approach gives power back to the practitioner by organizing and emphasizing the importance of interoception (perception of the body's internal state).
We would be delighted to have you with us.

(Dates to come)
Dear friends and yoga practitioners, we are delighted to offer you our training module on Yin Yoga and the practice of meditation, alongside the study of Sri Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
Our intention is to present a map of the Yoga Sutras, following the author's sequential and cyclical approach.
Sri Patanjali is known as the great codifier of yoga, who brought together all the different practices of his time under the umbrella of Raja Yoga.
We begin by analyzing the four chapters and decoding the main psychological concepts, followed by their metaphysical correspondences.
We combine our studies of jnana yoga (yoga of knowledge) with yin yoga and meditation practices. This training is dedicated to redefining the boundaries between postural and meditative practices through the mediation of the breath. Our intention is to create a common space for both practices.We have two objectives for the 50 hours we spend together,
1. Clarify the vision of meditative yoga through a foundational text.
2.To open up a space where participants can either lay the foundations for the contemplative nature of yoga, or reconnect to this space and continue on the path.
We have developed a series of visuals for most of the concepts we will cover, giving illustrative support to the Sutras.
The wisdom of the Yoga Sutras is luminous and a reference point for all yogis, from ethics to transpersonal experiences.
This is a so-called eternal teaching (philosophia perennis) whose relevance stretches back thousands of years to the present day.
This founding text is a reference point for its universality. It can be interpreted in a multitude of ways, and generously delivers its share of revelations to the willing and benevolent practitioner.
We'd be delighted to have you on board.

"Far from ordinary!
Training with Sebastian and Murielle is not just training. It was an extraordinary experience that far exceeded my expectations. This was my 4th yoga teacher training and certainly the best. Not only because I love Yin Yoga, but also for the quality and methodology they shared. They gave us a wide variety of tools to use for our own teachings and the theoretical parts were very clear, which I really appreciated. There was precise guidance throughout the course; in terms of timetables, lessons, practice, which allowed us to optimise every second of our time during the course. What makes this training so special is Sebastian and Murielle, who are two extraordinary people who embody spiritual yoga and live what they teach. What you practice will always express itself. It's a law of the universe!
Don't hesitate if you'd like to take this course, you won't be disappointed. "

"I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet them when I started studying Chinese medicine!"
I have no words to express my gratitude to Murielle and Sebastian for their teaching, their honesty and their generosity. I took two consecutive modules. It was a life-changing experience. As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, I was very surprised by their knowledge and understanding of TCM. Their teachings really helped me to put into practice what I had been studying for some years. They really make it so easy. I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet them when I first started studying Chinese medicine! I can only recommend their training to anyone. I look forward to continuing to study with them."
