The training allowed me to understand the true power of Yin. We immersed ourselves not only in Yin Yoga as a practical exercise, but in a holistic view of history and philosophy in combination with the teachings of Taoism and knowledge of female health, both physically and mentally, from Chinese medicine
Every day, Bex and Zoë created a trusting space in which we could open up and truly meet each other. The magic of this circle grew over the days, as did our understanding of the female body, of our inner cycle and, above all this, for ourselves. We connected with our true, feminine nature, which often stays repressed in our social system
It was such a groundbreaking experience that will resonate for a long time and will be carried out into the world. Through inner peace, wisdom and the permission to be who we are. Because with this we can sow seeds for change in ourselves but also in the community we live in. With a view on the world that is out of balance, of absolute necessity. I thank Bex and Zoe from the bottom of my heart for their presence, inspiration and dedication and all the women who have been so open and supportive on this journey together
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for these 10 days that were intense, revealing, magical and enriching
Thank you for creating this space for women and for your generosity. You are an incredible duo, so complementary and inspiring
I discovered yoga a year ago through my naturopathy studies, it was within the importance of practicing physical activity for our clients
So I can say that you are officially my first yoga teachers and I am honored. I arrived with a heavy heart and I finished this program with a light heart, you participated in this transformation and it is for me the most beautiful memories
There is a proverb that says “it is only mountains that do not meet” life is full of surprises and beautiful encounters
