The training
The Heart of Yoga
This is a YACEP® Yoga training on the history and philosophy of yoga – Yoga is a science that explores the inner phenomena of perception and the mysteries of existence, always with the aim of finding and cultivating freedom.
The history of yoga is shrouded in legend and often romanticized. In this training, we journey to the heroic origins of yoga, the vibrant and radiant Tantra, and the ascetic classical Hatha Yoga. We bridge the gap to the present, illuminating the heart of yoga and how it can enrich and beautify our lives today.
This yoga training is designed for both advanced practitioners and beginners and qualifies as a YACEP® 30h – YOGA ALLIANCE continuing education program.

The book about the workshop
History and Philosophy of Yoga
This accompanying book for our course invites you to immerse yourself in the secrets of Eastern thought and explore the origins of Kundalini and Hatha Yoga. Combining philosophical depth with practical applications of yoga, it guides you on an inner journey toward a yogic understanding of the human soul.
The book follows the philosophy of yoga on its quest to uncover the mysteries of the universe. Yoga is not only a path to improve our personal existence but also a journey seeking the ultimate mysteries of being.
The aim of this quest is to realize and embody the ultimate truth – the Absolute, the greatest secret among all secrets: the mystery of God.
