Program
Designed for sincere practitioners seeking depth, discipline, and an authentic experience of yoga. A grounded and serious initiation into a living tradition, this training offers space for deep study, committed practice, self-inquiry, and embodiment. Through intimate guidance, shared group practice, and a strong container of mentorship, the process gradually unfolds, allowing the teachings to be experienced, integrated, and lived. If you feel ready to walk a sincere path, this training offers a space to remember what is essential and begin again, in presence.
This training is for you if:
- You feel called to explore yoga beyond movement and physical postures
- You are seeking depth, authenticity, and traditional teachings
- You are ready to engage in sincere inner work
- You want to live yoga as a daily, integrated path
- You value discipline, self-awareness, and grounded practice
- You are already teaching and want to deepen your practice and teaching
- You appreciate a small, intentional group learning environment
- You value immersion in nature, community, simplicity, and intentional living
How the training works
Phase 1: In-Person Immersion (21 Days)
You’ll spend three weeks (21 days) in full presence (Phase 1). Immersed in nature, in practice, and in a small group community. The training offers traditional Hatha Tantra Yoga as a path of self-knowledge and inner refinement, with practices that awaken and harmonize prana (vital energy).
After the immersive training, you’ll return home with structure and support (Phase 2). Each month, students meet online for a long guided practice and group mentorship session. Small monthly assignments and personal guidance help you embody the teachings and establish a steady rhythm. This extended structure allows the practices to become rooted in your life, not just studied, but lived.
After 6 months, those who wish to complete their training can return for a final 7-day in-person intensive. This final module goes deeper into advanced practices and focuses on teaching methodology: how to hold space responsibly, safely, and with authenticity.

What is Hatha Tantra Yoga?
In contemporary contexts, yoga is often associated with movement, flexibility, fitness, or relaxation. Within the classical Hatha and Tantric traditions, yoga is a systematic discipline of self-realisation through direct experiential practice.
Hatha Tantra Yoga is a structured path of self-investigation through the body-energy system. It works with asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, and meditation to influence the flow of prana, the nervous system, and the mind, progressively moving from physical form to sensation, to energy, and finally to awareness.
Within this framework, yoga functions as a method for harmonising body, energy, and mind, supporting greater stability, clarity, and inner coherence through consistent practice.
As these layers integrate, practice naturally unfolds into sādhanā, a continuous process of inner refinement and awareness through lived experience, supported by discipline, consistency, and direct observation.
