200h Yoga Teacher Training. The Five Elements Path.
2021 DATES
4th to 25th of July
*Online part to be done from home: 6th to 27th of June
(Las Palmas de Gran Canaria)
In this 200h Yoga Teacher Training we study the healing power of the body through the nature of the 5 elements. The five elements dance within us as the expression of Nature that we are. Yoga gives us the opportunity to balance them and thus connect with the essential, the pure, the instinctive. Practicing and teaching with the five elements through yoga not only connects us to Nature but provides us with an organic way of balance our body, mind and soul from the inside and out. Moving the Nature that we are made of is what allows our essence to find the way to express itself.
The five elements are present in this Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training through a base sequence which is provided to the students. We apply concepts of physical and energetic anatomy, Ayurveda and Chinese medicine for the complete understanding of the sequence to be learned. An Astrology Fundamentals workshop will be held to know the basics of how to balance the yoga practice with the planets and the stars.
Daily activities based on body expression, meditations and coaching techniques are held with the aim of opening new paths for the students to reconnect with themselves and find what’s unique in them. All the tools that will be put into practice will be provided in an understandable way so that everyone can use them in their lessons and in their daily life. Some of the practices and meditations take place in Nature to recharge and feel in depth the element with which we work.
We want this teacher training to be a journey. Even if you don’t feel like teaching, the tools and transformation you will get from are a live lasting gift to yourself.

How can I get to Las Palmas?
The airport flying to Gran Canaria is called Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (LPA). There are a lot of different airlines flying from every European airport. The airport is like half an hour drive from us, so you could either take a bus (L60) or a taxi (which costs around 35€)

None of them are included. There are a lot of different cheap and healthy restaurant options where to eat in the neighborhood and of course you can also bring food to eat in your lunch time. Even if we don’t include the accommodation in the price, we will assist you to find a good one that suits you when you book your place with us.

The See Yoga/AYCY Manuals are included in the price, except the Anatomy Manual and the Essencial Asana Manual. The books are not included either.
How will the online three weeks organized?
The online work will include 50 learning hours, so most of it will happen in Las Palmas. It will be divided in six theory sessions of 4 hours each on the weekends and four more sessions of 2 hours each two evenings a week. We will use zoom to meet all the participants and promote an active way of learning. Also, you will need to start building up your sadhana every morning (15 minutes practice). We will also help you with it while proposing you a short sequence to be practiced.
Is there homework and required reading?
There will be required reading and homework during the online part of the training. Throughout the training in Las Palmas there will be no homework more than reviewing everything to get ready for the final exam. We understand that the days are already long and the students will need to rest.
What if I need to miss a day or session?
The student then commits to catch up with the content studied and set an extra private 1h retrieve session with the leader of the teacher training. The cost will be of 50€ (covering 4 learning hours) and some tasks about it will need to be done. The schedule will be agreed with the leader of the training.

The teacher training will be held with a minimum of 4 students. Otherwise, the whole payment of the training will be refunded 15 days before it starts.
