ABOUT OUR 35 DAY 300 HOURS ADVANCED
MULTI-STYLE YOGA INTENSIVE TEACHER TRAINING COURSE
Stepping into the role of an advanced yoga teacher is both a profound privilege and a deep responsibility. At this level, the teacher not only embodies a consistent and dedicated personal practice but also demonstrates refined skills in teaching methodology, pedagogy, and ethical leadership. The 300-hour advanced training is designed for those who are ready to integrate yogic wisdom into every facet of life and deepen their ability to inspire and guide others through example, presence, and authenticity.
Beyond intellectual understanding, this training invites you to embody the teachings—living your yoga off the mat, grounded in mindfulness, awareness, and integrity. As your personal sadhana evolves, so does your pranic vitality, allowing you to radiate clarity and inspiration to your students, your community, and your own inner journey of self-discovery and transformation.
At this level, the yoga path becomes not just a personal commitment but a way of life. You’ll be supported in developing your voice as a teacher, cultivating insight through lived experience, and holding space with wisdom and compassion. The training nurtures a holistic growth—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—opening the door to profound inner shifts, deeper relationships, and a fuller expression of your purpose and potential.
This advanced training provides a unique opportunity to explore and expand your gifts, refine your teaching across multiple yoga styles, and dive into deeper layers of yogic philosophy, ethics, anatomy, energetics, and personal development. It is both a continuation and a transformation—one that honors where you’ve been and prepares you for where you are meant to go next on your yoga journey.

IOANNINA: THE LAKESIDE TREASURE OF NORTHERN GREECE
.jpg)
Nestled in the heart of Epirus, Ioannina—once known as the “Capital of Enlightenment”—offers a unique blend of natural wonder, cultural depth, and tranquil charm. This lakeside city carries the soul of forgotten centuries, where history breathes through narrow stone streets and traditional architecture, yet gently meets the rhythm of modern life.
Your training home sits in the old city, a district rich with folklore architecture and timeless atmosphere. Within the fortified walls of Ioannina Castle, time seems to slow down. Wandering through its hidden pathways feels like stepping into another era, where stories echo from centuries past. From the castle’s vantage points, sweeping views of the landscape might just tempt you to stay longer than planned.
Just below lies the iconic Lake Pamvotida, the shimmering heart of Ioannina. Its lakeside promenade, shaded by ancient plane trees, offers a peaceful escape for morning walks, silent contemplation, or sunset relaxation. A short boat ride takes you to the tiny island of Nisaki, a serene corner of the lake dotted with monasteries, artisan shops, and quiet cafés. The mirror-like reflections of Mount Mitsikeli complete this magical setting.
When you’re ready to explore beyond the city, the region offers unforgettable experiences.
Visit Dodoni, one of the most ancient oracles in Greece. Wander the stone-built villages of Zagorochoria, cross charming bridges, or marvel at the dramatic depths of Vikos Gorge, one of the world’s most impressive natural wonders. For a taste of mountain culture, the traditional town of Metsovo awaits with warm hospitality and alpine charm.
Ioannina is also a gateway to some of Greece’s most beloved summer destinations. Within a short drive, you can reach the turquoise beaches of Parga, Syvota, and Preveza, or even venture out to the islands of Lefkas and Corfu.
Whether you’re seeking nature, culture, history, or simple stillness, Ioannina offers the perfect landscape to support your inner journey throughout the training.
