Functional & Holistic Approach

 

In all of my Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings, I carefully cultivate a functional, open-minded and exploratory approach to yoga. I support you in becoming a self-confident yogi and a compassionate teacher. One who shares and practices yoga in a competent and liberating way; honoring and respecting different bodies, possibilities and needs of themselves and others.

It is my goal that after a training with me you will have:

An open and empathetic mindset to different bodies, minds and possibilities; knowing that ‘one alignment for all’does not work.

The ability to offer personalized adjustments and create a safe yoga practice for yourself and others regardless of age, experience and flexibility.

The tools to translate your understanding of the Functional approach to yoga combined with Yin yoga philosophy, Meridian stimulation & theory, Human anatomy, Meditation, Pranayama and Asana into a beneficial practice for all.

The capacity to empower and nourish yourself independently with your yoga practice. 

Are you ready to become an empowering and compassionate yoga teacher?

Hi! My name is José

My wish for everyone is that you can embrace all that You are, through practicing yoga and living from Your Experience and in Your Way!

In practicing yoga with an open mindset you start honoring 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 yoga classes, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings, you can learn how to adapt your yoga practice or someone else’s to their abilities and needs. By adopting a functional approach to yoga combined with the study and practical application of human anatomy, physiology and meridian stimulation and theory, you can make it possible for everyone to practice yoga in a beneficial and injury-free way.
