Yin Therapy with Emrik Suichies

<p>Season 8 | EP. 8</p><p><br></p><p>I had such a good conversation with Emrik, and I honestly could have kept going for hours. Emrik is a Yin Yoga teacher and therapist based between the Netherlands and Hungary, and what he has built over the course of his career is unlike anything I&#39;ve come across in the Yoga world.</p><p>We&#39;re talking about a formally accredited <strong>bachelor&#39;s degree in Yin therapy</strong>. Not just a certification. Not just a teacher training. An actual bachelor&#39;s degree, recognized by insurance companies in the Netherlands. It&#39;s the kind of thing that makes you go, &quot;Wait, why isn&#39;t everyone doing this?&quot;</p><p>But beyond the credentials, what really got me in this conversation was Emrik&#39;s <em>philosophy</em>. About learning, about healing, about what Yin Yoga actually is and what it&#39;s capable of.</p><p><strong>What we talked about:</strong></p><ul><li>How Emrik built a <strong>bachelor&#39;s degree program in Yin therapy</strong> and got it officially accredited</li><li>Why insurance companies in the Netherlands now cover Yin therapy sessions, and what that actually means for the profession</li><li>The Yoga licensure debate and why getting licensed isn&#39;t necessarily the golden ticket people think it is</li><li><strong>Embodied, experience-based learning</strong> and why Emrik tells his students they don&#39;t have to remember anything</li></ul><ul><li><strong>DNA methylation</strong> and how Yin Yoga can actually help &quot;close&quot; gene expressions that are causing noise in your nervous system</li></ul><ul><li>What he&#39;s currently studying with neurosurgeon Jack Kruse around light, magnetism, and the mitochondria</li><li>His upcoming <strong>English master&#39;s program in integrative medicine and Yin therapy</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p>One thing Emrik said that I haven&#39;t stopped thinking about: <em>Yin Yoga is the missing part of being alive.</em> I felt that one right in my heart.</p><p>If you&#39;re a Yoga teacher, a therapist, or just someone who loves going deep into the why behind the practice, this episode is for you.</p><p><strong>Resources and links mentioned:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://yinassociation.org " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://yinassociation.org </a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yinassociation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/yinassociation/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/YinAssociation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.facebook.com/YinAssociation</a>Book in Dutch: <a href="https://migems.nl/over-leven-met-yin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://migems.nl/over-leven-met-yin/</a></p><p><em>Enjoyed this episode?
