Yin Yoga & The 5 Elements Teacher Training Retreat
JUNE 25TH - 30TH AT TIVOLI RETREAT ***Limited spaces left***
The bioenergetic relationship:
Yin Yoga, Qi Gong & The 5 Elements
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the five elements are not just physical substances but also psycho-emotional states that are intimately connected to the natural world. Each element is associated with a unique archetype, which embodies its relationship to nature and offers insights into our own psyche.
The 5 Elements provide an understanding on how nature interacts with the body and how the different dimensions of our being impact each other. TCM & The 5 Element Theory include information related to the internal organs, meridians, emotions and the interconnected relationships between them. This multi-dimensional view of life offers a diagnostic framework to recognise where imbalances—body, mind, emotions, and spirit lie.
At times in our physical body can hold onto things like fear, anxiety, exhaustion, stress and emotional blockages. With our sequence in Yin Yoga and the nature of our practice we can base the flow on stimulating the appropriate meridians (energy channels) related to some of these conditions. In Yin Yoga we are not only having a nourishing conversation with the nervous system, we allow our body to rest & restore while invoking a deeper level of self-awareness through the elements that make us whole, this enables us to embody a deeper life experience with more peace, joy & abundance.

"My overall experience with Yoga Alma during the Yin Yoga Teacher Training Retreat was fabulous! So much more than expected. I learned a more in depth understanding of the philosophy of yin, TCM & meridians. The connection between Yin and the elements adds a depth to integrate and explore. So much to absorb and express, it's almost impossible to write! Deep connections were made and I felt safe to express myself. I truly feel that Bree helped facilitate breaking me out of a shell I've put myself into. Bree is a master wizard with a beautiful method to her facilitation. Gentle, informative and explorative. The staff, food and accommodation at Tivoli were absolutely perfect!"

Incredibleeee! So so special to me. Bree is the perfect yin Teacher trainer with her attention to detail, fiery passion and all inclusive knowledge. We spent the week walking through the depths of yin in its asanas, its mindfulness aspects, its origin and connection to Chinese medicine, as well as physiology and anatomical layers. It was a perfect blend of each element. The facilitation was perfect in my eyes. I loved the structure of having a program to follow and look forward to seeing what was to come. I like the flexibility of time when it came to questions and further explanations. I felt supported and listened to. I'm very grateful for the growth and expansion which took place during my time here. Thank you to all the beautiful women who co created this experience. For the softness and power of women uniting. Supreme location! The most delicious, variety of nourishing foods. Very clean and accommodating living spaces. Luke and Mim are very peaceful in nature and set the tone for the peaceful atmosphere.

"Myriad of information - philosophy & understanding of anatomy & physiology! I completed the Yin Yoga course with Bree. A myriad of information - philosophy of the Tao, further understanding of anatomy and physiology, the 5 Elements of Chinese Medicine, the meridians. Thoroughly enjoyed the Yin Yoga classes and Bree’s magical presentation incorporating all of the above and the added bonus of sound healings. "

I really enjoyed the training. Honestly before coming here I felt a but stagnant with both my teaching and my life. The first day I started to feel so much bliss and motivation and energy. I feel my heart is full of love and motivation to teach and be more confident. Thank you for your caring, wisdom and attention. Your presence really inspires me. I loved the amount of info, the flexibility with the schedule and the supportive environment. I felt safe here and comfortable. Thank you! I feel my heart is full of love & motivation to teach!

WOW. Bree's Yin Yoga training was an amazing experience. I learned so much about the practice of Yin and was happily surprised to see how deep the healing & transformation goes, physically, mentally, and spiritually. She has such a fun approach to teaching and her genuine passion naturally shines through. I really enjoyed learning more about the Chinese Medicine meridians, the 5 elements, and the Taoist philosophy. Deeper to this learning were the connections made. Connection to nature, reconnection to self, connection to other beautiful like-minded souls, and even to interconnectedness itself. Bree and the gorgeous Tivoli Retreat facilitated this. I feel expansive and more ME than possibly ever before. And if that wasn't enough goodness, there is a sauna & magnesium plunge pool, healthy nourishing meals, always available Chai tea, and just enough free time to walk around the beautiful natural setting, journal, laugh, dance, or do cartwheels & handstands on the grass! As you can see, I couldn't recommend Bree's Yin Yoga Teacher Training Retreat enough. If you are on the fence about it, do yourself (and others) a favour and take that plunge. You won't regret it!

The overall experience from the retreat/training is inspiration and transformation. Bree absolutely embodies the teachings and philosophy and you can't help being swept along in her joy and passion. Her knowledge and wisdom is willingly shared in a practical light hearted way whilst her presence is fully felt. I highly recommend this immersion for its depth on both a personal heart level and the experiential teaching level. The facilities, accommodation, food and general vibe of Tivoli retreat is exceptional with Luke and Mim providing a warm and approachable presence throughout. Having recently finished a degree in Chinese medicine but feeling exhausted and jaded by the lack of classical/spiritual teachings I feel inspired and passionate about the medicine again and am truly grateful for connecting with Bree and her beautiful heart.
