Our priority is to provide you with comfortable, safe and clean accommodation that is located close to the yoga shala. Rooms are either shared between two people, or private, depending on your preference. Our simple, cosy rooms are the perfect respite for rest and relaxation. Step out of your door straight into nature, and fall asleep with the sound of the ocean, or trees blowing in the breeze. Warm, salty breeze from the ocean or the fresh air with its mountain energy will fill your soul with happiness and calm.

We provide 3 healthy, energy-boosting meals per day, from Monday to Saturday. Sunday is a holiday for staff and students and we encourage you to try some of the delicious food on offer in the surrounding area. Our kitchen staff pride themselves on their local, fresh, seasonally-appropriate ingredients. We aim to give you all the energy you need for this intensive time. Let us nourish your soul and fill your body with prana-supporting meals!

Classes run from 06:30 am to about 17:30 pm daily. Your time will be spent between asana, theoretical and practical classes. Please note that the schedule below is an example and is subject to change.

Saturday you will have only half day classes and Sundays are your days off. Use this time to relax, study and enjoy your surroundings.

Who can join?

This program is open to anyone with a genuine interest and desire to learn more about this fascinating branch of yoga. Because of the gentle nature of the practice, you don’t need any prior yoga experience. It may be helpful if you have already completed another teacher training, but it is by no means a requirement.

Karma Yoga (selfless service)

In the weekdays you will be engaged in voluntary karma yoga. This will be a short time either before or after classes. Karma Yoga, the Yoga of selfless action, will help you to learn and practice yoga holistically.
