The Teacher Training
-100.jpg)
Have you experienced the sweet flavour and deep transformation that comes from practicing yoga? Do you wish to take it to a next level by starting to teach yoga?
Taking this step to become a yoga teacher has helped already many people to commit to a yogic lifestyle, serve others by sharing skills, knowledge, presence and wisdom and open for new professional directions in life.
We all have a teacher inside the heart, waiting to be listened to, a flame ready to be kindled.
This teacher training is an opportunity for sincere yoga practitioners to deepen their practice and to learn all the necessary tools to start teaching themselves and to pass on the ancient science and art of yoga, adapted to modern circumstances.
Hatha Yoga will be thought of in its holistic form with an understanding of the main yogic branches. The aim of Hatha yoga is to align the body, mind, and spirit, to free ourselves from blockages that will result in healing, to cultivate awareness, and ultimately to open up for Self-Realisation.
At the end of the training, you will all be able to give a full integral Hatha yoga class and have the necessary philosophical background and understanding of the mechanisms of yoga. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certification that is registered with Yoga Alliance and has international credibility.

Accommodation
and location
Ananda Forest is located on a 1,5 hectare land close to Orgiva (Southern Spain), while also being very private and secluded. The closest big city is Granada. The land is home to many ancient olive trees, fruit trees, birds, wild animals, and has an incredible beauty and power to reconnect us to nature. Nested at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, you can enjoy the beauty, power and silent presence of the mountains. During free moments, you can enjoy one of the many hikes and trails, and even Orgiva (the central village of the Alpujarra mountains) is only 25min walking distance from the land.
It is a place to come home to your true essence. Ananda forest exists out of several beautiful terraces, each one having its own character and energy.
You can stay in a comfortable, beautiful wooden cabin, bell-tent (glamping), tent, or bring your own tent. Apart from your choosen accommodation, you can enjoy a rejuvenating rest or a sound journey from the birds and crickets in one of our hammocks in the shade of ancient olive trees.
