Hours per area, set against the Yoga Alliance RYS 200 standard.
Every module ends with something you can do, not just something you have read.
In the last two months trainees run a free community class every Saturday, with Inés at the back of the room taking notes. By the end, standing at the front feels ordinary.

I came to go deeper into my own practice and left with a Tuesday class of twelve neighbours. The practicum made all the difference.

Four weeks in July, every day on the mat. I teach rowers now, and the anatomy module is the one I use most.
Now teaching at a rowing club in El Saler

Small enough that Inés knew exactly where I was stuck. I teach in French and English, and I still use her sequencing notes.

Weekends 2023
Do I need to want to teach?
No. About a third of each cohort trains to go deeper into their own practice. The course works either way, and many change their mind halfway.
How much practice do I need before I apply?
At least a year of regular practice, in any style. We look for curiosity and steadiness, not advanced poses.
What if I miss a weekend?
You can miss up to 10% of the hours and make them up in private sessions or with the next cohort, at no extra cost.
Will I be able to register with Yoga Alliance?
If the school is registered as an RYS 200 when you graduate, yes: you can register as an RYT 200 with your certificate.
Is the course in English or Spanish?
Both. Inés teaches in Spanish and English in the same room, and the manual comes in both languages.
Where can I stay for the July intensive?
We send a short list of rooms and flats in Ruzafa within walking distance of the studio when you hold your place.
