Refine your voice. Deepen your knowledge. Teach from who you are.
This advanced training is made up of two immersive retreats (75h & 100h) and six focused 25-hour modules, all designed to enrich your teaching and support your growth, inside and out.
You’ll dive into topics like sequencing, anatomy, alignment, core integration, philosophy, somatics, and more. Along the way, you’ll also reconnect with what makes your teaching unique: your voice, your presence, your purpose.
Choose to complete the full 300-hour certification, or join individual retreats and modules at your own pace. Either way, you’ll gain tools, insights, and community to elevate both your practice and your teaching.

Michela
Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge and experience with such passion and care, what a transformative journey this has been! Not only did I gain the foundational understanding of anatomy, alignment, and sequencing that I was looking for, but I also discovered a newfound passion for yoga philosophy, thanks to the insightful overview and thought-provoking guidance from Fanny. Most importantly, this training cultivated a space that was both nurturing and challenging, inspiring us to dive deeper within ourselves and truly connect, with our practice, with each other, and with the true essence of yoga. For that, I’m deeply grateful 🙏
