5 Elements & Meridian – Yoga Teacher Training
60-hour holistic training · 30.08.–04.09.2026
by Beyond Words & Wild Voice
Perhaps this is exactly what you're looking for:
A training that will make you feel again why you teach yoga in the first place.
With depth. With clarity. With an energy that your class will immediately notice.
The 5 elements and the 12 meridians as knowledge that you experience in your body and can then teach in such a way that it truly works.
This Meridian Yoga training is a journey that goes deeper than words – Beyond Words.
And an experience that awakens your voice, your truth, and your inner fire – Wild Voice.
Stefan Schwager and Anita Schmid jointly hold this room.
Two worlds that touch: Yoga & TCM
Well-founded, health-oriented, holistic and with real depth.
What you will take away from these 6 days
You won't simply "know more" afterwards.
You will teach differently.
You understand the 5 elements, so you can truly bring them to life in yoga classes.
You know the 12 meridians and which asanas address them and why.
You can sequence meridian yoga sessions that are logical, coherent, and effective.
You build element flows, yin and yang sequences, and combine them in a targeted and holistic way.
You hold spaces with more presence, clarity, and depth.
This training deepens your yoga knowledge so much that afterwards you will create unique classes that truly stand out because they speak a clear energetic language that your participants can feel.
Contents
Rituals using the 5 elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Wood · Fire · Earth · Metal · Water
You will learn about the qualities of the elements: physical, emotional, and energetic.
You will learn how to translate this knowledge into asanas, sequences, and rituals.
Yoga & meridians
Energetic knowledge from TCM, organic connections, Yin/Yang and emotional topics presented in a way that you can understand and teach in your yoga classes.
Asana Lab & Sequencing
Orientation, variations and targeted practice:
How to translate meridian and element themes into sequences, creating healing element flows and harmonious meridian yoga classes. You will learn to structure classes with clarity: introduction → build-up → peak → integration.
Nature & Elements Experience
We go outside because you understand the elements not only in space, but also in nature.
A special fire ritual is planned outdoors, for genuine connection, grounding, and depth.
Keeping space
Embodied presence. Boundaries. Energy hygiene.
Authentic leadership of groups and processes, clear, human, and safe.
Evening sessions: Cocoa & Mantra Circles
In the evenings we sing together so that what we have learned doesn't just stay in our heads, but is absorbed into our systems.
Experiences that will stay with you long after your training.
Who is this training for?
For yoga teachers and space holders who don't want "just another training course", but:
want to take their understanding of TCM, elements and meridians to a new level
want to create yoga classes that are energetic, meaningful, and unique
A desire for depth, practice, ritual and nature
We want to maintain spaces with clarity, heart and substance.
