40h yin and sound teacher training | dive into stillness | Zurich
A two-weekend immersive training in Zurich
🗓️ 25.06. – 27.06.2027 + 09.07. – 11.07.2027
📍 Yoga in a Bag Albisrieden
This 40-hour Yoga Alliance–accredited training in an intimate group invites you to enter a space of deep presence. We explore Yin Yoga and sound as complementary practices — not as techniques to perform, but as ways of listening more deeply.
What is this training.
This is a 40-hour immersive training.
It is designed for:
deepening your personal yin practice
integrating sound into yin classes in a safe, grounded way
developing confidence in teaching and holding space
understanding subtle body, nervous system and an introduction to sound frequency principles
Includes theory, embodied practice, teaching labs and peer feedback.
What the training isn’t.
This is not a fast-track certification.
Few of the things this training isn’t
a performance-based yoga course
a purely theoretical program
a rigid teaching system
an online course
It is a learning space rooted in presence, reflection, and practice.
This training invites you into stillness, not as an idea, but as a lived experience.

Meet your trainers
This training is co-led by us, Charlène & Rada.
We met years ago, quite randomly, at a Café in Zurich. Charlène had just arrived from Berlin, asking strangers for yoga studio recommendations (me included). I mentioned Yoga in a Bag — and we bonded.
Fast forward to 2026: we are both teaching at Yoga in a Bag in Albisrieden. Somewhere along the way, Dive into Stillness began to take shape.
Together, we bring a shared focus on Yin Yoga, embodied practice, and the integration of sound as a supportive layer for presence and nervous system awareness.
Our approach is grounded, accessible, and intuitive, with an emphasis on clarity, safety, and depth over performance or complexity.
