Nestled between the Alcornocales Natural Park, the turquoise waters of the Costa de la Luz, and the vibrant city of Seville, Shangri-La is a charming countryside retreat inspired by the novel Lost Horizons. Its mission is to offer a safe and nurturing space for spiritual growth and self-discovery throughout the year.
The venue features a variety of comfortable accommodation options: four private single ensuite bedrooms, one private double ensuite bedroom, five twin ensuite bedrooms for two people sharing, and one private double bedroom with a shared bathroom.
Designed with natural materials and warm wooden tones, Shangri-La blends harmoniously with its surroundings while creating a cozy, home-like atmosphere. The space feels grounding, welcoming, and safe—an ideal environment for deep practice and rest.
The property offers two yoga shalas: a refined yet simple indoor shala for silent practice, fully air-conditioned, and a beautiful outdoor open-air deck nestled among the treetops.
Throughout the grounds, you will find inviting spaces in nature, perfect for quiet reflection, reconnecting with the Earth, or sharing meaningful moments with others as part of your transformational journey.

Program
If you are longing to take the first step into a deeper journey of inner discovery, this course is a leap into that journey. La Casa Shambala’s program is truly special, not only for its content and practice but also for the loving intention that it put into every part of it.
The curriculum and philosophy are focused on traditional Hatha yoga. As you will learn during the course, Hatha yoga is a way of approaching life, and the asana practice is only one of the eight limbs of the Hatha philosophy.
You will learn how to integrate the empathetic and spiritual practice of Hatha into your life, learning how to exist in the spiritual world and the modern-day world everyone is accustomed to. Vinyasa is a more modern form of yoga that comes from the Hatha asana practice. Vinyasa focuses on using breath with movement, harmonizing each movement in the yoga flow with an inhale or an exhale.
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.
As a yoga teacher, it’s important to understand human anatomy and how yoga influences your bodies on an anatomical level. This course teaches anatomy from a more traditional biological standpoint as well as the conjunction between yogic philosophy and biological principles.
This is so that the students can understand on a biological level, why a yoga asana practice makes us feel better. La Casa Shambala’s yoga asana classes are traditional Hatha, Yin / Restorative yoga, and Vinyasa. Students will finish the TTC with knowledge in teaching all three varieties of yoga classes.
