Functional Yin yoga guidance & training for practitioners & teachers

 

Dear yogi,​

 

You're not meant to strive for perfection. The pressure. The comparison. The frustration.
You long to feel free. In your body. In your mind. In your heart.
To move with trust. To live without fear of not being enough.

No more chasing how it should be. Or measuring yourself against unrealistic expectations.
No more bending to fit someone else’s standard.
Just your truth. Your rhythm. Your way.

I’m inviting you back to that.
To feel. To soften. To listen.
Not to fix yourself — but to meet yourself.
Fully. Freely. Functionally.
 

Let me show you how ⇩

200-hour Online Functional Yin Yoga Teacher Training

Learn to practise consciously and teach Yin Yoga from function, not form.

lachende mensen

In this 11-month online teacher training you learn how to practise, adapt and teach Yin Yoga functionally and holistically — recognising that every body and every person is different.

​

At the heart of the training is the Functional & Holistic Approach. Within your own Yin Yoga practice, you learn to explore and get to know yourself as a whole and consciously work with what you discover.

​

Instead of following one prescribed way of practising, you learn to investigate purpose, experience and effect, develop discernment and consciously choose what is effective, beneficial and supportive — for you, for your purpose, in this moment.

Different perspectives

Functional Anatomy, Meridian Theory, and Yin-Yang & Five Element Theory provide different perspectives from which to look at and explore yourself and understand individual differences.

Learning to guide others

This knowledge and the Functional & Holistic Approach, together with practical teaching skills, form the foundation for learning to guide others functionally and holistically — adapting the practice to the individual rather than the individual to the practice.

Not one way. There are many ways. Find your way.

"I have learned in the Yin & Anatomy training module, to look at yin yoga in a functional way and let go of the aesthetic approach. I learned that everybody is different and we all need something else!"

Online Yoga Course: FUnctional Yoga with Jose de Groot

Teaching yoga functionally - making it accessible for all

Jose de Groot - Ygoatreat

Hi! My name is José

I am a Yin Yoga teacher and an empowering yoga coach. I embody, embrace and integrate the Functional Holistic Approach to yoga into all my teachings, my own practice and life.

Both Yin yoga and the functional holistic approach fuel my wish for everyone; that you can embrace all that You are, through practicing yoga and living from Your Experience and in Your Way!

In practising yoga with an open mindset, you start honouring and respecting the infinite varieties in human anatomy, physiology and psychology. When we accept we are all different in this earthly manifestation – but in essence all the same -, we stop comparing, we don’t feed our ego nor create unrealistic expectations. Consequently, we create more peace, freedom and joy for ourselves, others and the world.

​

I feel it is my mission to bring that liberation and empowerment into your yoga practice and (hopefully) into your life.

 

In my Yin yoga classes, retreats and training programs, you can learn how to adapt your yoga practice or someone else’s to their body, needs and capacities. By adopting a Functional Approach to yoga combined with the study and practical application of Yoga Anatomy, Chinese Elemental & Meridian Theory and Yin Yoga Philosophy & Practices, you can make it possible for everyone to practice Yin yoga in a beneficial and injury-free way!
