nature, the peaceful surroundings create the perfect space to connect with yourself and
focus on your journey. The training is not just about becoming a yoga teacher – it’s a
transformative experience that brings incredible personal growth, whether you plan to teach

The teachers, especially Kuldeep, Isabel, and Hugo, put so much effort into making every
part of the training meaningful and accessible. Even as a non-native English speaker, I felt
supported every step of the way, and completing the course in English helped me grow not
only in yoga but also in my language skills.
The accommodation was so clean and comfortable, the food was absolutely top-notch, and the
sense of community was truly special. Everyone grows together so quickly – it felt like
being part of a family. I’m so grateful for this life-changing experience and couldn’t
recommend it enough!
I did the 100h YTTC in March 2025. It was such a good and inspiring experience. The two owners Lisa and Kuldeep are so warm, lovely and put in an incredible amount of effort. But the other yoga teachers were also great. I enjoyed every minute of this challenging journey. I can only warmly recommend it to everyone. I'll definitely be back and will do the hiking retreat next time.
"I took the 200h yoga teacher training and had an amazing experience!
I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their yoga practice for personal or
professional purposes, as the training is also recognized by Yoga Alliance.
Kuldeep is a great teacher and his deep knowledge of yoga made sure everyone was able to
follow his classes with confidence; his fondness of hinduism gave us valuable insights and
notions from this rich spiritual tradition that translate extremely well into the 21st
century.
I will surely return to this school for retreats and further training."
