Good teachers will have the technical know-how, whereas great teachers won't settle but will build on technical skills by infusing them with their soul and heart. So, what exactly is it that establishes the difference? Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint or put into words. Yet, the qualities and energy that go into the craft of conducting a great class which will not only exercise the students' bodies and calm their minds but also cause a lasting positive transformation on a deeper spiritual level are distinguishable and recognizable.

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.

Our intensive yoga teacher training and meditation retreats are a unique, profoundly transformational and personal […]

Yoga has been taught for thousands of years as a powerful tool for self-improvement allowing people to achieve inner peace, prosperity and happiness. Today many people come to yoga desiring to improve their physical well-being. Yoga Lessons offers many physical benefits, but the emotional and spiritual benefits are less well known. For regular yoga practitioners, the additional benefits are obvious and abundant and influence every aspect of the practitioner’s life. The first thing I usually hear from new students of yoga is that they quite simply feel better in every possible way, discovering their potential for self-improvement physically, mentally, emotionally as well as spiritually. The asanas, or yoga postures, when practised in a certain way, not only tone the muscles, increase flexibility and improve the posture through alignment, but they also have a profound impact on the endocrine glands, balancing the secretion of hormones and restoring psychic and emotional well-being.
