Metamorphosis: A 100-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga Alliance Certified | South Goa, India
Metamorphosis is a 100-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training — a sacred container for deep self-inquiry, energetic alignment, and inner transformation. Held in the mystical embrace of South Goa, this training offers a soul-nourishing blend of stillness, introspection, and subtle body wisdom.
Like the butterfly in its chrysalis, you are invited to retreat into your own cocoon — to slow down, to listen inward, and to honor the quiet alchemy of becoming. Autumn’s gentle descent reminds us that letting go is a form of trust, and that from the shedding of old skins, radiant new versions of ourselves can emerge.
Through the yin lens, you will connect with the nuanced textures of your inner world, exploring the energetic body, the meridian system, and the art of presence. With guidance, you will shape a heartfelt intention that reflects the frequency of your higher self — aligning with the incarnation you came here to embody.
Astrologically, this season whispers of endings and beginnings — of harvesting wisdom and sowing new seeds. Let the stars guide you, the earth hold you, and the practice of yin awaken the glistening truth within.
By the end of this journey, you’ll not only be certified to teach yin yoga (Yoga Alliance accredited), but you’ll carry the glow of someone who’s met themselves fully — and is ready to share that light with the world.
Our modules
Each day is thoughtfully woven with embodied practices, soulful rituals, and intuitive teachings — from sunrise flows and moonlit yin to ceremonies, self-inquiry, and functional wisdom.

A somatic, soul-centered approach to stillness
Transformational Yin Yoga is a unique style of yin yoga that honors the deep intelligence of the body and nervous system. Rooted in the somatic experience — the felt sense of being in your body — this practice is designed to cultivate a profound mind-body connection, guiding you gently inward to meet yourself with compassion, presence, and truth.
Unlike more traditional yin approaches that move from posture to posture in segmented stillness, this method embraces a subtle flow. Each asana melts into the next with minimal effort or movement, allowing you to stay connected to the heaviness and openness already created in your tissues and nervous system. This continuity helps avoid the abruptness that can sometimes come from shifting out of long-held shapes, preserving the integrity of your inner process and honoring the energetic work already in motion.
Yin yoga, at its core, is a practice of surrender — postures are held for several minutes at a time, targeting the deep connective tissues and energetic meridians of the body. In Transformational Yin Yoga, this stillness becomes a gateway: a space where sensation becomes a doorway to awareness, and the body becomes a sacred site of inquiry. As you soften into the physical layers, deeper emotional, psychological, and even spiritual insights begin to surface. This is where transformation lives.
This style is trauma-informed, intentionally slow, and safely held — allowing for a soft unraveling. Within the stillness, we explore the subtle shifts, the tender truths, and the unspoken layers of self. It is yoga as metamorphosis: patient, powerful, and profoundly personal.

How do I get there? You can fly from any major international airport into India, typically connecting through either Mumbai or Delhi. Alternatively, there are direct international flights to Goa. Goa has two airports: GOX (Goa International Airport), which is slightly farther from our destination, and GOI (Dabolim International Airport), which is closer. From either airport, we can assist in arranging a taxi to bring you directly to Patnem. From there the journey can begin.
Do you arrange airport tranfer? Yes, we arrange airport transfers. Please note the transfer cost depends on the airport. From GOI (Dabolim International), transfers are typically around €25. (about a 90 minute drive) From GOX (Goa International), transfers can cost between €40 and €50 (about 3 hours). This is an additional expense to consider when planning your trip.
Do I need a Visa? If you’re traveling to India, you will need a visa. Please visit india.gov for detailed information on visa types. I recommend getting at least a 30-day tourist visa. If you plan to stay longer, the one-year visa is only slightly more expensive and is often a better option.
