Step into an inspiring yoga teacher training experience in the golden seacoast region of Algarve, Portugal, guided by 8 highly skilled teachers. Set near Praia da Rocha in Portimão, the program places you close to dramatic cliffside beaches, including the Benagil sea cave area and grottos celebrated by the Huffington Post as among “the most beautiful beaches in the world.”

This two-week journey is designed to support both personal transformation and professional growth. You will deepen your understanding of yoga, meditation, pranayama, yogic lifestyle, and self-sustainability while building confidence, gaining clarity around your life purpose, and taking home the gift of restored health and renewed inspiration.

All ages and abilities are warmly welcome. Whether you are an entrepreneur looking to launch international courses and retreats, a seasoned practitioner ready to expand your knowledge, or someone seeking a spiritual detox and a deeper connection to your inner path, this training is open to all levels and spiritual backgrounds.

As part of this certified Yoga Alliance TTC, you will also experience Ayurveda massage training, a cacao ceremony, and sound healing with Usui Reiki. Throughout the program, 8 supportive instructors and presenters will guide you with care, insight, and practical tools.

Why choose this yoga journey?

With nearly seventeen years of retreat and teacher training experience, this program offers a distinctive all-inclusive experience that combines premium learning, nourishing meals, and a beautifully renovated accommodation setting. Full two-week participants arriving at Faro Airport are greeted by a professional driver and transferred directly to their apartment. (Hybrid 3-night TTC transfer fee is extra.)

Each day includes an inspiring yoga schedule and 3 plant-based, nutritious vegetarian meals. From Day 1, you begin embodying the role of a yoga teacher, practicing in real time, receiving feedback, and developing the confidence to teach with clarity and authenticity.

Graduates consistently say they leave feeling ready to share meditation, pranayama, and yoga immediately. Many begin teaching soon after returning home, and the bonus post-graduation courses are designed to support implementation, community building, and the launch of a self-sustaining yoga business.
