A Foundational Training in Yin Yoga, Somatic Awareness & Fascia Intelligence
Somatic Yin Yoga Fundamentals is a foundational immersion into the essential principles of Yin Yoga, approached through a modern, integrative lens that bridges functional anatomy, somatic awareness, and fascia intelligence.
At its base, this training establishes a clear understanding of Yin Yoga fundamentals, target areas, functional alignment, and the purpose and benefits of each posture.
These principles are then expanded through the introduction of somatic awareness: the capacity to sense, feel, and respond from within, allowing the practice to become an embodied, living experience rather than a fixed form.
Fascia is explored as a dynamic and responsive network that influences mobility, perception, and internal communication. Through long-held postures, subtle movement, and conscious stillness, participants experience how the body adapts, softens, and reorganizes from the inside out.
The meridian system and the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine are introduced as a complementary layer, offering insight into the energetic body and its relationship to Yin practice, without defining its entirety.

His fascination with the healing arts, connective tissues, working with the fascia and the cellular intelligence of the body inspired his quest to create a space where yogis can find their own meaningful connection to life force, while opening up the energetic lines of the body and uncovering spaces through conscious breath and movement.
Carlos is known to take you for a journey into the sensations of your inner universe, dropping deeper into stillness and awareness, where you can experience your own uninterrupted rhythm and frequency.
