Embark on the journey of becoming a Yoga teacher - immerse yourself in the teachings of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, health, meditation, while surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and the natural environment. Here you can safely disconnect from the outer world and reconnect with your inner self, while being guided on your journey of self-discovery, exploration and transformation.
Are you looking to make a change in your life? Step into your real passion, or realise a more meaningful way of living? Do you want to deepen your practice and find time to truly connect with yourself? Our 200hour YTTC programme is designed to give you all the tools you need to create your own yoga classes and provide you with the knowledge and experience to bring your practise to the next level.
La Casa Shambala provides you with an internationally recognised certification by Yoga Alliance International, opening your path to many possibilities of giving Yoga back to the world. La Casa Shambala is a non-dogmatic school that supports your journey of self-discovery and allow you to connect and evolve. We provide you with the best soil, water and sun to grow, in a space where an opening of a single flower brings a celebration to the whole garden.
Our programme is truly special, not only for its content and practise but also for the loving intention that we put into every part of it. Our curriculum and philosophy are focused on traditional Hatha Yoga & Vinyasa Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a way of approaching life, and the Asana practice is only one of the eight limbs of the Hatha philosophy. You will learn how to integrate the empathetic and spiritual practise into your life, learning how to exist in the spiritual world and the modern-day world we are all accustomed to. Vinyasa is a evolved form of Yoga that comes from the Hatha Yoga. Vinyasa focuses on using breath with movement, harmonising each movement in the yoga flow with an inhale or an exhale. No two vinyasa classes are the same and we will teach you how to sequence beautiful Vinyasa flows that will embody your unique teaching style.
Besides the Philosophy of Yoga this course also puts a focus on Ayurveda - such as Ayurvedic diet and using Ayurveda for preventative health and wellness.
As a yoga teacher, it’s important to understand human Anatomy and how yoga influences our bodies on an anatomical level. Our course teaches Anatomy and Biomechanics through the lens of Yoga as well as the conjunction between yogic philosophy and biological principles.
Our Yoga Asana classes are traditional Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin/Restorative yoga. Students will finish our TTC with knowledge in teaching all three varieties of yoga classes.
You will receive personal attention from the teachers and we focus on adjustments of movements, postures and breathing. We also cover modifications of Asanas for people with injuries, medical conditions or any other limitation to movement.
This is a first level course, there is no required skill level or previous knowledge needed. We start at the beginning to ensure all students build on a strong foundation.
We do ask that if you are an absolute beginner that you (at the very least) take some online classes in the time leading up to starting the course to familiarise yourself with the basic movements and terminology as this course is fast paced.

The venue offers four single private ensuite bedrooms, one double private ensuite bedroom, five twin ensuite bedrooms (2 person sharing) and one double private bedroom with a shared bathroom.

It holds two shalas, a simple yet sophisticated indoor space for silent practice (with A/C) and an outdoor open-air deck nestled in the crowns of many trees.
