Yin Yoga Retreat & Training
There is something increasingly rare about giving yourself four full days to slow down.
Not to escape life, but to return to it differently.
Our 50HR Yin Yoga Teacher Training is designed as an immersive experience in stillness, embodiment, and deep study. Across two weekends on the Gold Coast, students are invited into a quieter rhythm — one that allows space to listen more carefully to the body, the nervous system, and the subtle dynamics that shape both practice and teaching.
While the course offers a professional certification pathway, many students experience it as something more personal: a reset. A recalibration. A return to practices that cultivate steadiness, awareness, and presence.
Yin Yoga asks us to approach the body differently.
Rather than forcing or performing, the practice emphasises time, gravity, breath, and attention. Through longer-held postures, students begin to explore not only the physical body, but also the mental and energetic patterns that emerge in stillness.
Throughout the training, students will study:
Yin Yoga philosophy and methodology
Functional anatomy and biomechanics
Nervous system regulation
Sequencing and intelligent class design
Meditation and mindfulness practices
Traditional Chinese Medicine and meridian theory
Practical teaching application
Leading the training is Alex Vannucci, whose teaching integrates biomechanics, meditation, movement, and energetic systems with remarkable depth and clarity.
Alongside extensive studies in yoga and Pilates, Alex is also a qualified acupuncturist, bringing a nuanced understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine into the training. Students are guided through the energetic framework that underpins Yin Yoga, including the meridian system, the relationship between organs and emotions, and the movement of energy throughout the body.
Having studied yoga in Rishikesh, India, under Yogarishi Vishvaketu, Alex brings both technical knowledge and lived practice into the training space. Her teaching encourages students to move beyond rigid ideas of alignment and instead develop a more intuitive and informed relationship with the body.
By the end of the course, students leave not only with the ability to teach Yin Yoga, but with a practice that can support them for life.
A practice of slowing down.
Of observing more carefully.
Of creating space internally before reacting externally.
In many ways, that is the real work of Yin.
Applications for our upcoming training are now open.
