The Program
This training starts with a welcome gathering, a grounding practice and dinner on the afternoon of your arrival. Check-in is available from 4 pm.
For the rest of the week each day begins at 7.30am with a two-hour morning practice blending Vinyasa, Power Yoga, pranayama, somatic movement, meditation, journaling and a proper long Savasana. We offer plenty of options in our classes, ensuring everyone feels supported and challenged at their level.
At 11am, after brunch, we’ll come together for teachers workshops that cover hands-on adjustments, creative sequencing, and theming. Expect a blend of inspiring lectures, interactive workshops, and plenty of space for meaningful discussions. You’ll also have time for self-study and reflection.
At 2pm a hearty snack will be served, followed by free time until 3.30pm.
In the afternoons we keep on diving into teachers workshops as well as asana workshops, giving you the opportunity to refine techniques, explore transitions, and fine-tune your skills using props and partner work.
The day concludes with a grounding practice that blends yin, restorative and myo-fascial release. This introspective session helps you integrate the day’s work and wind down.
Dinner is served at 7.30pm.

“The immersion was the perfect refresh to take time outside of my regular teaching/business and come home to my own practice. The two hour morning practices were expertly guided, sustainably paced, and left space to tune in with yourself. It was also wonderful to be in the company of other teachers and dedicated practitioners to connect and reflect together. Returning home, I feel re-energized stepping back into my own teaching and practice”.

The best way to know if you like our way of teaching is to take our FREE CLASSES. They’re shorter than our classes during this training but you’ll definitely get a feel for who we are and how we teach.
If you’re someone who likes a strong, creative practice, like to try new poses and transitions, like to get challenged on the mat - you’re gonna like it :)
If you’re into a more gentle yoga we’re probably not a good match.
