Yin Therapy Meditation Silent Retreat / Teacher Training -North Germany
(in German)
“Silence and contemplation leads to understanding. Understanding leads to compassion. Compassion leads to love, kindness and equanimity in our hearts." - Markus Henning Giess
Welcome to Yin Therapy Meditation Silent Retreat / Teacher Training
This 35-hour intensive certified meditation silent teaching programme (6 days) comprises 3 sections:
1. Segment: Meditation Practice
Every day, we explain and practise yogic or Buddhist meditation techniques.
SoHam Mantra Meditation
Bija Mantra Meditation
Chakra Meditation
Shamatha – calm, peaceful abiding
Vipassana – insight into the three characteristics of existence
Metta – loving-kindness
Walking meditation
2. Segment: Silence
Silence refers to a perceived absence of sound, the absence of any noise, and also stillness.
Our body, mind and soul need regular breaks from the noise of everyday life, its demands, conversations, the media and stress.
Silence means rest for body and mind. Silence reduces stress hormones and allows us to regenerate. Silence allows for self-reflection. Silence means hearing what is essential, rather than the constant background noise.
We will walk, stand, sit and lie down in silence. We will reflect in silence. We will meditate in silence. In silence, we will welcome both the pleasant and the unpleasant as part of our lives, and let them pass.
In silence, we will delve deeper and deeper into ourselves.
3. Segment: Yin Yoga Asana Practice
At the end of each day, there will be a Yin Yoga asana practice to bring the day to a peaceful close.
We hope you enjoy this Meditation Silent Retreat / Teacher Training.
Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.” - Mahatma Gandhi
The minimum requirement for taking part in the Yin Therapy Meditation and Silence Retreat is to have completed the Yin Yoga Teacher Training Module I and the Yin Therapy Meditation Teacher Training offered by Yin Therapy.
ATTENTION - RETREAT
A retreat in the classical sense means a retreat from one's familiar surroundings in order to devote oneself to one's spiritual practice. In doing so, we are withdrawing from all digital media for this time and will also avoid printed media. In addition, there will be 3 days of silence during the Yin Therapy Retreat, during which we will retreat even further and look deeper inwards.
This withdrawal, from the distraction of the outside and the concentrated attention to one's own person, is intense and not always easy. Here, topics of everyday life can come to the fore, deep traumas, but also old samskaras from past lives. Often you see yourself in the mirror for the first time in years without make-up. Therefore, you should be sure that you will go into this course mentally and physically stable.
This course is practice-oriented and is intended to enable the yoga teacher to contemplate long periods of contemplation. This retreat should not be confused with a wellness holiday!
This retreat is a deepening of one's own yoga practice, something that a teacher training usually cannot offer and the natural next step of a yoga teacher.
From this deep personal experience through retreats grows a power and the ability to impart meditation.
““You and all of us are well aware that this was a very special time. I’ve been on a number of retreats and training courses, but I’ve never experienced such an intense, insightful, varied and loving shared learning and practising experience before.”
”
““Thank you for 10 wonderful, profound days during which you guided us into stillness. Packed full of practical and theoretical knowledge. Designed and delivered in a professional, non-dogmatic, authentic, empathetic and passionate way. Your love for your work is evident in every respect. Your labour of love has touched my heart deeply.”
”
After successfully completing each module, participants will receive a Yoga Alliance certificate; following the final module, the final 200- or 300-hour Yoga Alliance certificate will be issued. All partial certificates (hours) can also be submitted to the Yoga Alliance as ‘Continuing Education’.
100% attendance is a prerequisite for the certificate. If you miss any sessions, this may result in additional homework or extra costs.
