200hour Yoga Teacher training in Monchique, Portugal

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 200h 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, guiding you through the traditional teachings of Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga and opening the space to 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.

There will be personal attention from the teachers and we focus a lot 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. You can join Johanna here for online Yoga classes.

Quinta Algarve das Relvinhas, Portugal

Venue: Quinta das Relvinhas, Monchique

The beautiful hill-topped village of Monchique is an ideal escape into quietness, away from the bustling life of cities, yet only an hour away from Faro Airport. The region is famous for its healing thermal waters that are now one of Portugal’s leading drinking water distributors.

Our venue is located at walking distance from the village. Quinta Algarve began as a family project 30 years ago, on a large property with a 19th century restored family home (previously Quinta das Relvinhas), two newer bungalow-style buildings, numerous flower, herbal and fruit gardens, natural swimming pool, sauna, several geodesic domes (indoor & outdoor), outdoor shala, and winter garden conservatory.

Each room is spacious, beautifully decorated and shared with one, two or three other students. The rooms have double and single beds (prices vary based on your bed preference, not number of people per room). All rooms have a private en-suite bathroom.

All along the property there are hidden nooks and crannies to find a quiet space for yourself, as well as gathering spaces to connect and share the moments together. The Quinta is a vibrant and cosy place, where you will find a sense of home, familiarity and peace.

Location: Quinta Das Relvinhas, Caminho da Foia, 8550-364, Monchique, Portugal
