ACU-YIN
or
Come and join us for YOGA HOLIDAY

About the training

In a globalized world, many of us are initially drawn to the physical aspects of yoga — the moreYang, muscular side of asana practice. But as the journey deepens and the body becomes more attuned, students naturally become curious about what lies beneath the surface: the channels, points,and subtle architecture that classical Chinese medicine has mapped for thousands of years.

ACU-YIN is a unique and immersive training that combines the deep, meditative stillness of YinYoga with the precision of acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine. You’ll explore the subtle body through long-held, floor-based postures that support release and introspection, while learning to read and work the sinew channels, meridians, and acupoints that these very postures stimulate.

30th Jan – 6th Feb 2027

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed to advance and elavate an existing practice, and is open to all yoga teachers who have completed their 200 hour basic training.** If you are not already a yoga teacher but are keen to go deeper with yin purely for your own self-practice.please do reach out for a conversation.

Perfect For:

  • Yoga teachers wanting to expand their offerings
  • Yoga and meditation lovers ready to deepen their path
  • Those drawn to acupressure, Chinese medicine, and the subtle body
  • Bodyworkers and healing practitioners seeking a structured channel map
  • Seekers of stillness, self-inquiry, and soul-level growth

Whether you’re called to guide yin & acupressure journeys or simply wish to expand your personal practice, ACU-YIN will leave you grounded in classical theory, elevated by hands-on experience, and connected to the wisdom of the channels.

YOGA HOLIDAY

Treat yourself to a yoga holiday in Goa!

Imagine, you’re gonna wake up in the morning and decide if you want a strong vinyasa class or a gentle yoga flow. Perhaps you just wanna relax in a hammock with a coffee and your favourite book. This week is for your self-care, that well-deserved break you’ve been thinking about.

Our brunch buffet is served after morning practice. This is your time to meet the yoga crew, maybe mingle with the YTTC group and other holiday guests. After that, you have the entire day to do as you please. Maybe  spend the day at the resort, rent a scooter to explore the many beaches, see a waterfall, go shopping in Palolem.

YOUR Training FACILITATOR

65-Hour Yin Yoga & Mantra Immersion

Prianca is a teacher of yoga, meditation and a facilitator of healings including craniosacral therapy. A Mysore-trained ashtanga yogi, she has developed a deep love for yin, and alsoteaches pre-and post-natal yoga. Having spent the past 10years heading up the teaching faculty at one of India’s leading yoga schools where she taught vinyasa, hatha an yin yoga, Prianca is thrilled to be launching her own trainings in 2024.

As an international guest teacher Prianca holds retreats and events across the globe, bringing her powerful voice, love of anatomy and artistry in adjustment to locations including Berlin, Barcelona, Bali and Portugal. Prianca says: “I came to yoga with scepticism in my mind and pain in my heart, but yoga was the spark that gave me back everything that I had lost: stability, connection and eventually the seed of happiness which had been uprooted through years of neglect. It’s been twelve years now since I started walking this path of healing. The more I learnt about and integrated these beautiful practices into my daily life, the clearer it was to me that I had found my purpose.

Shiran is a leading acupuncture, breathwork, and energy healing practitioner based in South Goa, with over two decades of experience spanning breathwork, Chinese medicine, yin yoga, and somatic practice.

He is the founder of Breathing Journey, where his work spans private client sessions, professional training programs, and corporate wellness. Shiran developed the ACU-YIN framework himself — integrating classical acupressure, sinew-channel (TMM / Jing Jin) theory and yin yoga into a single teaching method. He has taught this material in depth through “Beyond The Surface,” his own course for experienced healing practitioners and yoga teachers, covering classical acupressure, the 8 Extraordinary Vessels, QiGong, and Hara diagnosis.
