The power of stillness
A practice for the deeper layers
While most yoga styles target the muscles, Yin works with the connective tissues, fascia, ligaments, and joints. It's a practice that goes where most styles can't reach.
Balance for the nervous system
Yin Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress, improving sleep, and creating a profound sense of inner calm. It's not passive it's deeply restorative.
A bridge between body and mind
Through long holds and mindful stillness, Yin invites you to observe, to soften, and to listen. It's one of the most powerful tools for developing presence on and off the mat.

What our students say
These are words from students who have already trained with Nico Luce in person. YAO is built on this same teaching, the same depth, the same approach, now available online.
I’ve been so lucky and am very grateful to learn from Nico. He is an incredible yoga teacher. He teaches with such humility, wisdom and kindness. His storytelling brings yoga philosophy to life in a way that’s inspiring and relatable, while his knowledge of anatomy is exceptional. What amazes me the most is how he can guide you into a pose using only his words. His cues are so clear and intuitive that you naturally find the right alignment without even realising it. It is a real gift. I cannot recommend Nico highly enough.
Wellington, New Zealand
One of the qualities that I appreciated the most is his ability to transmit ancient teachings and concepts with a modern, clear and accessible language, making them alive and easily integrated into practice.
Milan, Italy
I learned a lot with Nico's in this yin training, still using this knowledges 8 years later.
Lausanne, Switzerland
Meeting Nico Luce in 2017 marked a true turning point in my journey. His teacher training gave me the inspiration and momentum to create my own studio. I owe the foundations of my teaching to him: understanding the body, moving with awareness, and sharing a practice built with intelligence and respect.
Lausanne, Switzerland
I did my Yin yoga teacher training with Nico in 2018 in Wellington, New Zealand. This was my first ever teacher training course and it was life changing. What I loved about Nico's Yin training is his exploration of The tao and the way he weaved it through the whole course. I often think about my training with him and it moves me deeply.
Wellington, New Zealand
My trainings (Yin and the Art of Teaching Yoga) with Nico were deeply nourishing. He combines profound knowledge of the human body and physiology with great love for philosophy and a wonderful skill for storytelling. This, together with his devotion to the practices and care for us students, created a wonderful tapestry for learning and healing.
Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Nico Luce’s calm presence, clear guidance and thoughtful approach always create a safe and peaceful space to practice the Yin way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for your kindness. Namaste.
Milan, Italy
Nico’s teaching was incredible. I absolutely loved this Yin Yoga training. It was inspiring, exceptionally well-structured, and delivered with great care. I learned so much and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their practice and understanding of Yin Yoga.
Nice, France
I have been practicing yoga for the last 30 years, and my time practicing and studying with Nico has been one of the highlights of my yoga journey. Nico’s classes are always beautifully and mindfully crafted and his teacher training style is effortless, clear and profound. Not only did I walk away from his trainings feeling more equipped and knowledgable, but I felt more inspired than ever to share this beautiful practice with the world and to make my teaching style my own.
Agoura Hills, California
Nico Luce is my teacher and mentor. He is the best instructor out there. An expert in anatomy and biomechanics during asana classes, and deeply knowledgeable in pranayama, meditation, and Pilates, he turns into a philosophy professor when explaining texts. Moreover, he has a big heart and has guided me through pivotal moments in my life. Studying with him is a truly life-changing experience.
Milano, Italy
I completed my Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Nico in New Zealand in 2018 and had a really lovely experience. The course was well organised, inspiring, and gave me a deeper understanding of Yin Yoga. The wonderful group of people I shared the training with made the experience even more memorable. I still look back on it with fond memories and I’m really grateful I got to be part of it.
