A Journey Into Excellence Meet Paula, a.k.a. Parvati, a young woman who decided to listen to her calling and make yoga teaching her life’s career. Parvati is a Sanskrit name and means ‘The Universal Mother and Great Goddess’ and that’s true for Paula who is moving into her greatness both personally and as someone who shares the profound teachings of yoga with others.

Acquisition of a new site We are very happy to announce that we have now acquired a piece of land for our new ashram and healing centre in South India.

The yoga teacher training that we offer provides high level technical skill and cutting edge anatomical education, while at the same time offering a profound, life changing and transformative experience. The courses and meditation retreats take place in two idyllic resort locations, ensuring maximum peace and tranquillity and allowing you to focus on learning.

While providing a strong and sound base in asana, mudra, bandha and kriya it probes beyond mere physical practice into the world of the spiritual aspect of yoga and meditation and works on awakening the subtle energies within ourselves. Our intensive yoga teacher training and meditation retreats are a unique, profoundly transformational and personal […]
