"Paulina and Floris are 110% available to support you during this Yoga Teacher Training (and beyond). For me, this has been an amazing journey, filled with all the necessary tools to develop my yoga practice and skills as a teacher: alignment, sequencing, different meditation techniques, yogic philosophy, anatomy,...forever grateful for you both!"
Ilse Raps, 2019
The care with which everything was planned and delivered: food, classes, music, workshops. It was so well thought out, so well balanced. The place itself is magical, a small mountain heaven, surrounded by olive, fig, níspero and so many other trees. And then, of course, Paulina and Floris. It’s hard to describe the energy they expell, covering every inch with their peace and warmth. They are so knowledgeable about yoga, with so many interesting stories to share, and such welcoming hearts. They truly embrace you from start to finish, leaving no corner of your soul untouched and changed for good. So much light, so much love and authenticity. I am so grateful I got to be one of your students. Hopefully see you soon again. 🧘🏻♀️🌷🕉️🌿

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.

This 200 hour yoga teacher training in Spain 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.

Meet your teachers
Yoga has been our path for many years — and Ananda Forest is the place we created to share it.
Our journey has taken us through ashrams, yoga schools and communities, studying different traditions and learning from many teachers. Over the years, yoga became much more than a practice for us; it became a way of living.
We now bring this experience into our teacher training, combining traditional teachings with our own years of practice, teaching and living in community.
We want to know our students, guide them personally and create the space for them to discover their own authentic relationship with yoga.

Accommodation
and location
Learn Yoga in the Heart of Nature
For one month, Ananda Forest becomes your home.
Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in Southern Spain, Ananda Forest is a private and secluded 1.5-hectare retreat surrounded by ancient olive trees, fruit trees and wild nature. Just 25 minutes’ walk from Órgiva, the heart of the Alpujarras, it offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and easy access to the village. Granada is the nearest major city.
Here, nature becomes part of your yoga experience. Listen to the birds and crickets, walk among the olive trees, explore the surrounding mountain trails or simply rest in the quiet presence of the Sierra Nevada. The land has a unique beauty and peaceful energy that invites you to slow down, reconnect and come home to yourself.
Ananda Forest is made up of several beautiful terraces, each with its own character and atmosphere. During your training, you can stay in a comfortable wooden cabin, a glamping bell tent, a regular tent, or bring your own.
And when you have a moment to simply be, find a hammock beneath the ancient olive trees, close your eyes and let the sounds of nature become your meditation.
