The programme
This November, immerse yourself in 40 hours devoted entirely to Yin Yoga, guided by Lucie Checa and Vanessa Théroux. This training is designed both for yoga teachers wishing to deepen their teaching and for practitioners seeking to enrich their personal practice.
Over four weekends, you will explore the foundations of Yin Yoga, functional anatomy, fascia, the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as concepts of mudras, symbolism and a somatic approach. You will leave with the knowledge and tools to create safe, intentional and inspiring sequences.

Upcoming workshop · Autumn edition
Arm Balances and Inversions Workshop
Sirsasana I and II, Mayurasana, Gandha Bherundasana and transitions
With Vanessa Théroux · Mouvement Humain, Gaïa room
A workshop exploring points of support, the distribution of effort and the quality of attention in inversions and balances. Designed for people with a regular, intermediate-level practice, it covers Mayurasana (peacock pose), Gandha Bherundasana (chin balance) and variations of Sirsasana I and II (headstands).
Participation prerequisites
-
No known injury or vulnerability in the neck or cervical spine.
-
Ability to hold downward-facing dog for 3 to 5 minutes, perform a stable plank and Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose).
-
A stable headstand held for 10 to 15 breaths is an asset. Supported alternatives will be offered.
The practice
Preparation of the shoulders, core and rib cage will precede a progressive exploration of the postures. We will then integrate these reference points into fluid transitions, observing the quality of attention in movement. A long Savasana will conclude the practice.
