The 8 Day 70-Hour The Essence of Being Yin Yoga Teacher Training by MARiSOL Yoga Academy is a deeply immersive, Yoga Alliance-certified programme held at the magical Son Sion Retreat Center in Porreres, Mallorca. Led by founder and E-RYT 500 teacher Maria Diehn alongside senior teachers Tamara Ledesma Sanchez and Amber, this Yin yoga teacher training Mallorca offers 70 comprehensive hours of Yin yoga education — weaving together Traditional Chinese Medicine, fascial anatomy, somatic embodiment, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed facilitation, and spiritual wisdom into a transformative 7-night residential experience that will equip you to teach Yin yoga with depth, confidence, and authentic presence.
