Located in the southeastern part of Tenerife, the region of Arafo is nestled right between the high mountain peaks and crystal waters that surround the island. The venue, referred to as the “Spring of Tara”, is ideally equipped to provide its guests with a scenic escape into quietness, regeneration, and peace.
Away from the bustling life of cities, yet only 30 minutes away from the famous Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Finca Manantial De Tara was created with the intention of developing a sustainable place truly aligned with nature.
The design of the venue follows the principles of Feng-Shui, distributing its spaces based on their uses and the energy of the element present, be it fire, air, water, or earth.
Finca Manantial De Tara is a permaculture farm, consisting of many flowers, herbal, vegetable, and fruit gardens, various common areas, outdoor decking, and an indoor shala and cave buildings including a cave meditation space.
The accommodation is shared triple yurts (shared bathroom), modern triple shared studios (en-suite), and a twin shared cave room (en-suite shower, shared toilets).
All around the property there are nature-hugged nooks and spaces for a quiet moment for yourself, as well as gathering spaces to connect and share the moments together. This venue is a naturally vibrant and cozy place, where you will find a sense of belonging, acceptance, and peace.

Curriculum
If you are looking for a deeper connection with your inner self, to elevate your knowledge of yoga practices and philosophy, or to create a new career path that’s aligned with your beliefs and values, this course is for you. La Casa Shambala's training is truly unique, with each content and practice created with pure love and nourishing intention.
The curriculum and philosophy focus on traditional Hatha yoga, diving deep into the eight limbs of Hatha philosophy. You will learn how to integrate the empathetic and spiritual practice of Hatha into your life, learning not only how to exist, but how to flourish and elevate in both your inner and outer world.
Vinyasa is a modern form of yoga that comes from the Hatha asana practice and focuses on harmonizing breath with every movement in the yoga flow. No two Vinyasa classes are the same and La Casa Shambala will teach you how to sequence beautiful Vinyasa flows that will embody your unique teaching style.
This course teaches anatomy from a traditional and biological standpoint as well as the conjunction between yogic philosophy and biological principles. This is so that all students can understand, from a biological level, why asana practice makes you feel better.
This yoga teacher training certifies you in Hatha and Vinyasa styles, however, during your training, you will get a taste of other types of yoga, especially Yin / Restorative yoga.
