Perfekter geht es nicht!

Loved it!
I liked everything! It was a lot of input for a week but it was so worth it and will completely change the way I practice and teach!

Eine tolle Ausbildung an einem traumhaften Ort
Mona empfing uns bei Ankunft sehr herzlich. Damit war der Einstieg in diese Ausbildung sehr angenehm.
Monas Art zu unterrichten (Praxis wie Theorie) ist sehr angenehm.
Das Erlernen neuer und das Vertiefen bekannter Dinge fiel in dieser familiären und entspannten Atmosphäre einfach.
Der Ort der Unterkunft ist einfach traumhaft mit einem wunderschönen Blick über das Land zum Meer und nach Tarifa.
Wir wurden jeden Tag frisch bekocht. Die Köchinnen kamen in die Finca und zauberten extrem leckeres vegetarisches Essen.
Alles in allem war es die richtige Entscheidung, die Yin Yoga Ausbildung genau dort zu machen.
Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten!

Such a high quality ttc!
Mona is a very dedicated and super-experienced teacher! Full of passion for yoga and love for her students. She has truly inspired me on my path! I have learnt so much and am truly grateful. The villa was beautiful and quiet - and the food the best I have ever had in a retreat - so much variation and high quality all the way! Truly impressed! (Trust me, Im a foodie!) Loved the family atmosphere too. I highly recommend anyone interested in diving deeper into yin yoga to attend this ttc! It was a truly wonderful experience! Thank you, Mona! I would love to attend to another retreat with you in the future <3

Amazing week of learning in a beautiful location!
Mona was a brilliant teacher and made the experience really enjoyable, providing inspiration for future teaching. The villa was beautiful and in a stunning location just a short walk from the beach. The balance of practise and lectures/group work was good and it didn't feel too intense from a learning point of view even though I was reasonably new to both Yin and Ayurveda.

Durch die gastfreundliche, offene und wertschätzende Art der Retreatleitung und allen Angestellten in der Location herrschte eine super Stimmung und ich fühlte mich von Anhieb superwohl. Ich schätzte das gesunde und mit viel Mühe zubereitete Essen. Die Yogastunden und theoretischen Inputs fand ich sehr inspirierend und lehrreich! Eine Erfahrung, die ich nur weiterempfehlen kann…

Couldn’t recommend enough!
Just come back from the most wonderful weeks training and feeling positively full of knowledge and passion, that Mona shares so deeply with you. A truly wonderful experience and a fab setting to expand your yoga knowledge. Would highly recommend.... wishing I could do it all again!

Learnig by feeling and doing and teachers with passion
To find open hearted and passioned theachers like this is really rare, but thats what Mona and Gunnar do. And I think that you need to learn with mind, body and soul. But also the right amount of theory (MIND), very nice sequences of Yin yoga with yang elements (BODY) and space for every unique soul what is in the room (SOUL)! Namasté

So worth it
Didn’t know I needed this training as much I did. Mona and Gunnar make sure they have the most up to date information to share and their passion for what they do is infectious. The food was so so good and the chefs are completely understanding of any sensitivities and allergies. Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous teacher training experience
Loved the inclusive atmosphere of small group training which focussed on Yin yoga. Experienced teachers, both keen to share their knowledge and help us to explore this beautiful practice. I will definitely look to complete other training with them.

The best yin yoga teacher training one could hope for!
Mona and Gunnar both have a lot of experience which they share through the training, with details and passion. The curriculum is very complete, from anatomy to energetics and teaching practice. I highly recommend their training!

eine erstklassige Ausbildung und wunderbare Erfahrung
Das Yin Yoga Teacher Training hat all meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Es war eine wunderschöne lehrreiche Zeit mit 1a fundierten Ausbildungsinhalten, bestens strukturiert und erstklassig angeleitet. Das Training ist in sehr gut verständlichem Englisch vermittelt worden und war für mich als Deutsche mit ('nur') durchschnittlichen Englischkenntnissen wunderbar verständlich. Jeder Tag war ein Geschenk, Yoga mit Leidenschaft und Herzenswärme in einer tollen Gemeinschaft inmitten eines paradiesischen Ortes. Die Villa La Pena ist ein Traum und das Essen über alle drei Mahlzeiten war einfach hervorragend. Gourmetfreude & Detox kamen hier zusammen und wer viel Wert auf frische, gemüselastige, gesunde basische Mahlzeiten legt, ist hier genau richtig. Ich bin total begeistert und werde noch lange an diese paradiesische Zeit zurück denken. Der Trainingsplan ließ genügend Luft für Pausen, so dass diese Ausbildung auch für eher introvertierte Charaktäre geeignet ist. Mona ist eine wunderbare empathische Lehrerin, die im Handumdrehen eine herzliche, warme und familiäre Atmoshäre schafft, in der man sich schnell Zuhause fühlt. In ihren Yogastunden kann man sich prima fallen lassen, zu sich kommen und erwacht jedes Mal aus einem kleinen Traum :)

Yin Yoga Teacher Training Tarifa
Just returned home from a wonderful week of learning in Tarifa with Yoga Sunshine . The Yin Yoga Teacher training ticked every box for me . The training was incredibly informative & fun with step by step tuition from the passionate Mona Abter . Tarifa is a magical place & Villa la Peńa offers a comfortable stunning location to study or as a retreat - the vegetarian food provided by the two chefs Kate & Tracy was delicious fresh & super tasty . Our beautiful group 12 consisted of 9 nationalities & we all hope to meet again someday with Yoga sunshine ☀️
