Our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a residential program at Nydum, on the Costa Brava, Spain. Registered with Yoga Alliance and rooted in Ashtanga Vinyasa, the course brings together daily practice, functional anatomy, alignment, philosophy, teaching methodology and hands-on teaching experience. The focus is to give you a deep understanding of the practice and the tools to share it with others
Designed for dedicated practitioners and future teachers, the course gives you a strong foundation without separating theory from what actually happens on the mat. You’ll study the Ashtanga Primary Series, biomechanics, anatomy, sequencing, pranayama and meditation, then apply what you learn through observation, adjustments and teaching practice. The aim is simple: to understand what you are teaching, why you are teaching it and how to adapt it to the person in front of you.

LIVE AND TRAIN ON THE COSTA BRAVA
For 18 days, you’ll live and train at Nydum Yoga School in Palamós, on the Costa Brava. The school sits in a quiet Mediterranean setting, surrounded by nature and within walking distance of the sea.
Living where you train gives the course a different rhythm. There is no daily commute between practice, classes and meals. Everything happens in the same place, with time between sessions to rest, study, go for a walk or simply enjoy being outside.
Palamós and the surrounding coastline are close enough to explore during your free time, while Nydum itself gives you the space to stay focused on the training. It’s a residential experience, but you are never cut off from the Costa Brava around you.
