For whom?
We recommend that you have done a 200 hour teacher training (any style) but this is not mandatory! If you haven’t: send us an email and let us know and we will look into what other experiences you have and we’ll give you extra support during the course.
The intention is to give you, as a teacher, more tools, to broaden your teaching skills as well as your target groups. Perhaps you have done a training in a dynamic yoga style and would like to add a slow style to your teaching menu as well – to be able to teach back to back classes at studios and retreats?
We have a set structure in line with Yoga Alliance’s criteria, but on top of that we have a certain amount of hours that we can tailor for YOU – and as far as we know, this is quite unique: for you, as participants, to be able to take part in forming the course content!
We (Melanie and Jennie) have worked together for almost 10 years and have 45 years of teaching experience between us from teaching yoga and teacher trainings full time.
We have experienced a lot over the years – and what we keep coming back to is how important it is to be authentic, to find “your voice” as a teacher and to have the courage to be YOURSELF when you are teaching! Working as a yoga teacher is amazing – but it also takes a lot of energy – and can be very draining if you are not looking after yourself. (And it’s so easy to not give ourselves that time/attention/selfcare – so in the training we will also put emphasis on how to create space for your own health and practice: to stay balanced and mentally strong!
We will cover
- A non-dogmatic approach. We will cover the main techniques and modern schools of Yoga Nidra and what they offer. You’ll get the chance to compare and explore different methods to see which works the best for you.
- Yoga Nidra scripts. Online resources: You’ll get ready made scripts in different methods. Together we will also explore and develop a treasure trove of ideas and scripts for teaching your own yoga nidra – as well as incorporating it in your own practice
- The structure A detailed look at each stage of the practice; the intention behind it and how it affects the body and mind.

More details
General information about the retreat villa
Can Limon is situated in the countryside close to San Carlos, a rather small but very well-known village north of Santa Eulalia. San Carlos is still a meeting point for hippies and home to a surprisingly rich cultural scene. The Ibiza beaches around San Carlos are divine. Imagine a world of crystal clear waters, sunshine bathed serenity and stunningly dramatic coastlines and you’re getting the idea. It’s a million metaphorical miles away from the hustle and bustle of Ibiza’s larger resorts but it is, however, close enough to Santa Eulalia to be within easy reach of a huge variety of restaurants, bars and shops, should you fancy a dip into the local cultural scene.
Surrounded by nature Can Limon offers a truly Ibizan experience. With lemon groves and the vivid red lands of the Ibizan countryside and distant views to the sea, this spacious private home offers the perfect opportunity to relax within a deeply peaceful environment.
A deposit of €300 is required initially to reserve your place, with the full balance to be paid 31 March 2021. Please let us know if you want to pay in instalments and we can arrange for another due date as well, 30 June 2021, and if that is also tricky, we can look into more options.
