8 Day Yin Yoga Teacher Training & Breathwork Immersion in Gozo

This 8-day, 50-hour teacher training in Gozo is the result of what Yellow Rock Yoga calls its own style of teaching Yin Yoga. The founders, Monique and Nop, both long-time Gozo residents, have built a method that weaves pranayama, meditation, and visualizations directly into yin sequences. The goal is to guide students through all the kosha layers—the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths—so practitioners come away with more than just a set of poses.

The curriculum covers a lot of ground: Yin Yoga history and philosophy, every yin pose explained with an eye to teaching it, the meridian system, the kosha and chakra systems, breathwork, anatomy and physiology, and even mantra and yantra. You'll learn how to structure your own sequences to hit a specific energetic aim, whether that's chakra work or a particular pranayama focus. The certificate you earn is 50 CEU, recognized by Yoga Alliance International for continuing education.

What makes this training different is that you're not indoors for the whole thing. The daily yin practice happens outside on a different spot every day—a beach one morning, a cliff edge the next, always with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. Theory sessions take place at a traditional farmhouse and a local hotel. The island itself gets woven into the experience; between lectures you can walk into the village, swim in the sea, or just sit with the quiet of rural Gozitan life.

The group is tiny, capped at four participants. That means the practical teaching sessions—where you practice teaching your peers—are intense and personal, and the feedback from Monique and Nop is specific to you. It's the sort of training where you leave not only certified, but with a clear sense of how you'll actually use what you've learned, whether you plan to teach others or simply design your own home practice.
