About the training

W E L C O M E to the second round of this profound & life changing 200h Teacher Training!

Embodied Yin™ invites us to explore our multidimensional capacities for healing by listening and sensing with the whole body- mind

In Yin Yoga we create gentle (sometimes more dynamic) long held postures and practices with an attitude of Maitri, loving kindness. The poses stimulate energy flow in meridians, energy channels, restore, rewire and replenish our nervous system. During these Yang infused times, Yin, and the rebalancing of YinYang dynamics, helps us to stop, reset and respond as we start again.

“Through intentions, what is in the room, words, sounds, light and movements we were guided through so many inner landscapes that week. I sometimes felt like I was in an interactive theater play, the change of music and light and the shift of energy in the room.“

~ Helen Bloch-Levermore, Denmark

"For me, Embodied yin is something pretty different from “traditional” yin. Using the principles of Embodied flow, it brings yin yoga to a different level, to pure bliss where I can connect body and mind, were I can dwell in what is and that leaves me with a feeling of being purified, of finding the true sense of myself.”

~ Marie Romani, Stockholm

ABOUT INGA:
Following her strong intuition in everything she creates Inga’s path is crystal clear. She found yoga many years ago, and it created a profound impact eventually guiding her back, and back again, deeper each time.

From that moment on, she knew yoga would be her offering to the world one day, and a bit down the path, she left a flourishing career in journalism and never looked back. She holds more then 600H and keeps diving back in into the sacred teachings of yoga, movement and connection every time she gets a chance.

Her colourful nature, feminine energy and healing touch can be found in all her yoga classes and offerings. Her path translates also literally in her brand called The Crystal Clear Path under which she creates yoga jewellery and sacred art and gives support through Reiki and intuitive guidance.

The journey of Embodied Flow™ has been a true home coming for Inga, and it changed both her teachings and practice completely.

She is now offering a blend of embodied expressions and teaches Chakra Yoga, Embodied Yin™, Slow Flow & Authentic Flow at Pranama and facilitates women circles, teacher trainings, immersions and workshops around Sweden. Her main teachers are Satu Tuomela, Tara Judelle and Scott Lyons.

ABOUT MAIJA:
With a burning heart for exploring movement, the mind, and everything in between Maija’s path took her finally after many years of practicing yoga into, something unavoidable, a full-time teacher and studio owner.

With roots in classical hatha tradition Maija found her way into embodiment with Embodied Flow™ and Authentic Flow Tribe. She has over 500 RYT training hours, her greatest inspiration coming from her teachers Satu Tuomela, Tara Judelle and Scott Lyons.

Her practice and teachings are highly influenced by a tantric view and the search for an embodied experience and connecti n to ourselves. Her classes are usually slow to allow you to fully be in the flow of the moment with the entire body and mind. She has also been influenced by a cross discipline of yoga, dance and freediving with a love of the water element. She has been teaching yoga since 2014.

With trust in her own transformational path she transmits her calm to her students guiding into their own experience and authentic expression. She teaches weekly classes, workshops, immersions and trainings in Embodied Yin™ and Authentic Flow.

ABOUT SATU:
Satu has been teaching almost 20 years and is known for her very unique, otherworldly and authentic transmission. Borrowing the words of one of her students: " Satu`s classes leave you with "what the hell just happened?" Its beyond yoga, its a LIFE a LOVE a REALIZATION class”.

She is an experienced yoga teacher (ERYT500) with more than 10000 teaching hours under her belt, Embodied Flow™ senior teacher, a teacher training facilitator since 8 years, Creator of Embodied Yin™ and Co-creator of Embodied Flow™ Yin program and a Reiki Master, soon to be a movement therapist.

Satu charms with her intuitive, all seeing, facilitation and a big love for classical tantrik teachings, Shamanic roots and goddess vibe.

Her exquisite use of music, harmonium playing, singing, humor, loving adjustments, Reiki and clear understanding of human body and how everybody is unique, is well known around the world.

Satu has a background in dancing (ballet) and basketball. She fell in love with yoga in her teens and started teaching almost immediately. Satu has studied two different 200h trainings in vinyasa flow and Hatha, she is immersed in Anusara yoga, continued also with two advanced trainings (300h), the latest with her main, and very loved, pioneering teachers Scott Lyons and Tara Judelle, And has studied and taught yin yoga since 2007.

Satu used to study with Tiffany Cruikshank and has also participated in the offerings of Elena Brower. She is grateful for the amazing knowledge of foundational anatomy that Tiffany taught her and the courage to face her fears and "kicks in the butt" that Elena offered so generously.

Satu has had the privilege to teach and offer workshops, retreats, trainings and classes around the world from Hawaii to Bali. She mainly teaches in Europe and is based in Ericeira, Portugal.

Satu’s current main teachers are Sally Kempton and Christopher Wallis (nondual Tantra and meditation) and, of course, Tara and Scott.
