What Makes This Retreat Special
Small groups
We firmly believe that as smaller the group is, the more personalized the training will be and the more individual support you get from our teachers. That’s why we will never accept more than 7 students per TTC.
Lots of practice for you!
There is no best way to become a good and confident Yoga teacher than to give plenty of classes as a lead teacher. From week one you will start sequencing, cueing and giving classes to your colleagues, always with the support of our teachers.
Sequencing & cueing techniques
We will spend all the needed hours giving you all the knowledge, examples and explanation of how to perfectly guide your students in a yoga class using your voice, your body and a clear language.
We created our courses with Love
We want you to have the experience of your life by doing your TTC with us, that’s why we created it puting a lot of love inside. Is not only that you will be having experienced teachers and learning all the important points to become a good yoga teacher, it is also that you will be feeling that you are loved in our community and treated with respect.
You will be making life-long friendship
Coming to do a TTC, you will be getting to know like-minded people. The time and experiences you will have with them will create a friendship that will last all your life 🙂
Various Workshops
During our Yoga Teacher Training Courses we will also offer you various workshops to deepen your knowledge as a Yoga teacher as for example Thai Massage, Sound Healing, SUP Yoga, Yoga Nidra, etc…
Support before and after the Course
Finishing a TTC with us means that you, together with lots of other students, will be park of Shambhala Family and we will give you the opportunity to stay or come back as a Karma Yoga Teacher. Before the course starts we will guide you with some recommended reading books to prepare yourself to the start of your yoga teacher journey.
We believe in giving back!
That’s why we decided to donate a percentage of our annual income to a social or environment cause. This way we will be helping different organizations that are always trying to make this island/planet a nicer one.

Teachers
In 2006, with her first trip to Thailand, she got to experience the benefits of Thai Massage and decided to stay in the country to train herself as a Thai massage teacher.
Virginie comes from Belgium, she discovered Yoga during one of her travels, in Costa Rica.
This experience has been a “life-changing” event.
Kamal comes originally from Egypt. He was a veterinarian with a very good medical background.
He moved to live in Dubai many years ago and in 2012 he started his yoga teaching journey after attending his first TTC in the leading yoga training School Yogafirst with his teacher Peewee Sanchez.
Alina is from the United States, she grew up in a small beach town in South Florida. She fell in love with yoga at the age of 16 and immediately began to dive into her practice consistently. Because of that she decided to get her 200 hour ytt certification in South Florida and it was the moment that changed her life!
She started teaching right away, from vinyasa to yin and feel even more in love with this practice. She then made the choice to start traveling and sharing her teachings all around Central America. For the past year she had been teaching in Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala and more!
This practice is sacred to her and she loves nothing more than to share it with the people who cross her path.

Tenerife benefits from the consistent weather that Spain’s Canary Islands are noted for, with warm days throughout the year.
Situated 1,500 miles south of the UK and lying at the same latitude as the Sahara Desert, Tenerife sees a climate that is warm all year round but with some remarkable regional variations.
Average daily temperature is 22 – 24°C.
In Spain the power plugs and sockets are of type F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.
If you arrive to Tenerife South airport you will need to take the 111 bus direction Santa Cruz (intercambiador bus stop). From Santa Cruz you will then need to take another bus (number 102) until Puerto de la Cruz (the last stop of this bus).

No jabs are necessary for Spain. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all travelers should be covered for diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, and polio, regardless of their destination.
Since most vaccines don’t produce immunity until at least two weeks after they’re given, visit a physician at least six weeks before departure.
Travel insurance is always a good idea! Depending on the policy you go for, it could help with delayed, canceled or missed flights; theft or damage of belongings, and emergency healthcare.
It’s not the most glamorous part of planning a trip, but it means you can relax knowing that you’ll be covered if anything happens.
