General information
Introduction
This Yoga Alliance International training is open to yoga teachers and anyone ready to deepen their practice and understanding.
With only 4 places available, it’s one of our most loved offerings. This year, this course is part of our 200 hour Soft Yoga Training.
From day one, you’ll begin teaching—not just poses, but the essence of yoga. You’ll be guided to find your own voice, rooted in authenticity and inspiration. The training integrates the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a holistic approach.
Since 2024, we’ve reshaped the course into an immersive experience: one full week in Normandy, in our dedicated Retreat Space—a chance to connect deeply with yoga, with others, and with yourself.
Our teaching style is passionate, curiosity-focused, accessible and non-judgemental. We draw on our years of experience to enable you to teach the people in front of you, adapting to their needs. We hope to light the flame of inspiration, education and motivation in you, to make your own choices as teachers and students and to encourage your own students to walk their own path of practice.

Starting in 2024, our trainings include a week-long immersion in Normandy, at our peaceful retreat centre: The Retreat Space.
This new format invites you to slow down and go deeper—into your yoga journey, your body, your breath, and into meaningful connection with others.
You’ll have time to learn, teach, rest, explore, create, and simply be.
You’ll stay in a calm, beautiful house nestled in a quiet village just over 3 hours from Paris. Nourishing meals are prepared with love—seasonal, plant-based, and shared together around the table.
The garden, the firepit, the stars, the silence… everything is here to help you reconnect—with yourself, with others, with Nature.
We believe this setting gives space for transformation: a chance to grow your confidence, refine your voice, restore your energy, and feel part of something real and rooted.
