How the training works
You will study the theory of anatomy (30 hours) and philosophy (30 hours) online (one and a half hours via Zoom per session, 60 hours in total) so you can get the utmost in presence. In this way, during the 16 days when you will study and train together in Spain, you will fully focus on living and breathing your authentic yoga teacher training experience. Your daily schedule during the in-person training offers a balanced blend of immersive practice, enriching theory, and hands-on workshops. Each day of your training begins with the soothing sounds of Mediterranean birds as the sun rises over the beautiful Jaboneros Valley, your home for these transformative 16 days together.
Mornings at Move Breathe Academy begin with a sense of serenity, meditation, and practice as the sun rises, followed by a nourishing brunch shared in a supportive community. Throughout the day, you will engage in a dynamic blend of group activities, including inspiring lectures and hands-on workshops, while also enjoying solo time to reflect, recharge, or explore the beauty of your surroundings. Your training follows a weekly schedule, with one well-deserved rest day per week, typically Sunday. As the day winds down, savor a soothing cup of tea, accompanied by the gentle evening breeze. As for the gentle rustle of olive trees, the scent of wild rosemary in the air, and the taste of sun-ripened figs, you will just have to imagine those for now.

Never had he found something that had such a complete practice to him, not only physical but also the philosophy, pranayama, meditation, mantras, kirtans (music), and Ayurveda.
