EARLY BIRD
bis am 22. August 2026
Dieser Kurs führt Dich durch Stille und Achtsamkeit in die Kunst ein, durch bewusstes Tun mehr zu fühlen. Du gewinnst ein tiefes Verständnis für das Bindegewebe, das den Körper formt, lernst, dessen gesunde Funktion zu unterstützen und entwickelst wirkungsvolle Yin-Sequenzen, die Nervensystem und Seele nähren. Im Zentrum des Trainings steht das Tao Te Ching – ein poetischer, kraftvoller Text, der den Weg der Natur, die Weisheit des Gleichgewichts und die stille Kraft des Loslassens offenbart.
Through stillness and presence, this course will guide you in the art of doing less to feel more. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the connective tissues that shape the body, learn how to support their healthy function, and create meaningful Yin sequences that nourish the nervous system and the soul.
At the heart of the training is the Tao Te Ching—a poetic, powerful text that reveals the way of nature, the wisdom of balance, and the quiet strength of surrender.
WAS DU LERNEN WIRST
1. Yin-Anatomie & -Physiologie:
Verstehe die Faszien, Gelenke und Bindegewebe, die den Yin-Körper ausmachen. Lerne, wie Yin Yoga diese Gewebe auf einzigartige und sanfte Weise beansprucht, um Geschmeidigkeit, Beweglichkeit und Widerstandsfähigkeit zu erhalten – insbesondere im Alter oder bei nachlassender Aktivität.
2. Energetik & Taoistische Philosophie:
Erkunde die energetische Landschaft des Yin durch Meridiane, Chi-Fluss und die Elementarlehre. Entdecke, wie uns die taoistische Weisheit lehrt, uns mit der Natur zu verbinden, Stille zu erfahren und dem Leben mit müheloser Anmut zu begegnen.
3. Die Kunst des Yin-Unterrichtens:
Gestalte und unterrichte achtsame Yin- und Restorative-Yoga-Kurse mit Präzision, Selbstvertrauen und Präsenz. Entwickle eine Sprache, die die subtile Körpererfahrung ausdrückt, strukturiere Sequenzen, die tiefe Entspannung fördern, und lerne, einen Raum mit Klarheit und Achtsamkeit zu schaffen.

Weil man in einer schnelllebigen Welt die heilende Kraft der Langsamkeit schenken kann. Weil Präsenz so kraftvoll ist. Weil der Yin-Weg mehr als eine Methode ist – er ist eine Lebensweise.

Because in a world that moves fast, you can offer the medicine of slowness.
Because presence is powerful.
Because The Yin Way is more than a method—it’s a way of being.
ABOUT NICO
An avid story teller, philosopher, traveller and mover, Nico has spent much of his life in pursuit of the extra ordinary; from intrepid travels through India, acting stints and a successful yoga studio ownership, he has spent much of his life seeking a way to embrace this life with each breath, one breath at a time. Living life to its fullest potential is to live with vibrancy, adventure and zest.
Nico is a 500 hour certified yogi and international trainer who has been teaching yoga since 2003, and is himself committed to never ending the journey of learning. His love for Eastern philosophy, spirituality and anatomy are all weaved skilfully into his teaching; his style is eclectic, drawing on his study with some of the top teachers in Hatha, Anusara, Vinyasa, Yin and Power Yoga and Pilates. Yet grounded in reality, yoga, in his view is not separate from life but rather constitutive of it, and draws from everyday experiences to realize the practice’s potential.
By bringing to life the ancient teachings of yoga, Nico's goal is to take you on a powerful transformational journey which will have you seeking the answers to your questions and challenging the way you view your life, inviting you to look inside, to never stop asking the questions and to be brave, to remain open, and to take a chance on yourself.
You can find Nico studying at his home in Switzerland, teaching & gardening at Occitania Retreats in the South of France, or travelling to the corners of the globe sharing his teachings in a humble and honest way. Practice with Nico on Gaia or check out his traveling schedule here.
