You will be enabled to work on one-on-one with clients with specific needs, complaints and anatomical constitution.
You will be able to create the "yin space" the quality and energy within yourself, so it can enrich and balance your life, and so you will be able to offer it to others.
The peaceful, compassionate allowing presence that heals all imbalances by just "being with it".
You will learn how to allow yourself to feel emotions, intensity, to reopen shut down senses, and then being able to let all the sensations, emotions (E-motion: Energy in motion) flow and go... instead of diving into the story of it and holding onto them. (Tantric& Mindful Buddhist approach)
This course is a deeply transformative healing journey, as only by healing & loving ourselves FIRST we can offer these qualities to others...by going trough the experience, instead of only learning about the theory.
There will be a lot of focus on your personal experience and opening up to senses, listening, landing in your True Nature.
Yin Yoga has a deeply healing effect. And even tough every person is different, every story is different, and a healing process requires personal approach, we can acknowledge that with appropriate sequences you can rebalance major imbalances on the body, mind and heart level, with a regular yin practice.
Such as allergies, digestive, hormonal problems, back problems, mental problems, blood pressure problems, anxiety symptoms, emotional blockages, lack of energy. Emotional disorders such as lack of determination, trust and confidence, anger problems, depression, fears can all be nurtured by appropriate yin practice with great results.
Eventually transforming our life into a more loving, more peaceful, more attentive and caring, enjoyable journey.
About Your Teacher
​​
Kata van Doesselaar EYRT500, EYRT200 is an experienced Yoga Teacher, breath & massage therapist, healer and coach. She is practicing yoga for 20 years, and teaching yoga for 15 years.
She has been trained in various styles (Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa) until she found her root Teacher Shiva Rea, that she felt the most inspired by.
So Kata's primary style became the Prana Vinyasa Flow Yoga (Krishnamacharya lineage) that Los Angeles based Shiva Rea founded, and she kept learning from Shiva and assisting in Shiva's teacher trainings and eventually also becoming one of the very few global teacher trainers, sharing Shiva's unique training with international students in Ibiza.
The last few years, Kata felt the call to walk her own Path and flow with her inner guidance and create her own trainings and curriculums. This is how her signature Yin yoga teacher training (60hr/200h) , her Goddess Vinyasa Flow TT, and her Soulful vinyasa flow TT was born, amongst other modules.
Besides her dynamic practice Kata always enjoyed stillness and meditation, so she was in Heaven when she discovered Yin Yoga. Being a very energetic Soul, Kata embraced Yin yoga with open heart, and allowed the practice of letting go, stillness and surrendering to bring balance into her busy life. Having seen the huge impact that yin yoga did on her she went to study with Sarah Powers and Paul Grilley's senior teachers to learn all of it, so she can transmit the gifts of yin yoga in an authentic and pure way. Kata has been training with her Teachers more than 1000hrs.
Diving into the 5 elements yin yoga fascinated her so much, that she went on to study acupuncture.
Kata is now based in Ibiza, and travels all around the world to share her gifts through Yoga, Awareness trainings and personal sessions.
As a mother of two teenagers, and her rich experience of healing, self-healing, her biggest passion is to inspire people to grow into their full potential, and find their true Self.
