Depth. Stillness. The Art of Holding Space.
Step away from the noise and into a week devoted to the quieter dimensions of practice.
The Stillness is an immersive 100-hour advanced training and retreat exploring yin yoga, meditation, sound healing and nervous system awareness designed for teachers and practitioners ready to slow down, listen more deeply and expand their capacity to hold space for others.
Through practice, study, ritual and spacious moments of integration, you’ll learn to guide experiences that move beyond the physical — inviting your students into deeper states of rest, presence, connection and transformation.
This is not simply about learning more techniques. It is about refining your presence.
Learning when to guide and when to become quiet.
When to offer and when to allow.
How to create the conditions for another person to soften, feel and return to themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You are welcome to join The Stillness as a personal immersion retreat to deepen your own practice, understanding of yin yoga, meditation, sound healing and self-inquiry.
However, to receive a 100hr Yoga Teacher Training certification and teach professionally, you must already hold a recognised 200hr Yoga Teacher Training certification.
If you have completed your 200hr YTT, The Stillness can be completed as a 100hr advanced training module towards your 300hr pathway.
If you have not completed your 200hr yet, you can still experience the full retreat journey — you simply won’t receive teaching accreditation until completing your foundational teacher training.
🌙 Come as a student, practitioner or teacher — the practice meets you where you are.

You can:
