OVERVIEW
Set between the forests of Sweden and the energy of Copenhagen, our Advanced 300 Hour Vinyāsa & Space-holder Training is designed for those who want to deepen their practice, refine their craft and grow into confident leaders within the yoga community. With our 2 lead trainers we will cover 10 pillars of teaching & welcome 11 exceptional guest facilitators, each bringing deep expertise from fields such as anatomy, tantric philosophy, movement science, traditional medicine and ritual practices, enriching the training with diverse knowledge and perspectives.
This training builds on the foundation of a 200 hour certification and invites you into a 6 month exploration through two immersive retreats in Sweden, focused training weekends in Copenhagen and ongoing online integration labs. You will expand both your personal practice and your ability to authentically guide others with integrity.
Sweden:
2x 5 night immersions allow students to step away from daily life and enter an intense environment of practice, reflection and teaching development. Together we explore advanced sequencing, pranayama, meditation, rituals and the subtle elements that shape a strong class experience. You refine your teaching voice and strengthen your ability to hold space with depth.
Copenhagen:
Over 6 months, a series of deep training weekends bring in all 13 experienced teachers and specialists. Students study a bounty of subjects such as advanced anatomy & movement, thai yoga massage technique, tantric philosophy, somatics, free movement labs and traditional meditations, as well as complimentary traditions such as Traditional Chinese medicine and Northern European Wisdom. These teachings expand your understanding of the body, energy and the traditions that inform potential yoga practices.
Regular bi-monthly online teaching labs support integration. These sessions give students space to refine sequencing, guide meditation, explore philosophical themes and develop creative class structures while receiving feedback from faculty and peers.
Students also develop a personal passion project and seva offering (communtiy work) during the training, exploring how their teaching can contribute to their community. The program concludes with a final weekend of presentations, practicum teaching, and closing ceremony.
This training brings together committed practitioners for deep study and shared growth, supported by a strong & thoughtful community.

Nordic Wisdom Immersion
-
We will explore the deep mythic roots of Nordic wisdom traditions: the rituals, stories and embodied practices that once connected people to land, community and the cycles of nature.
-
Through storytelling, simple ritual dancing practices and embodied exploration, participants will be invited to reconnect with the mythic imagination of the North: the wisdom of the old goddesses, the living landscape, and the ancient understanding that transformation happens through story & shared experience.
-
Rather than approaching mythology as something abstract or historical, the session opens a doorway into how these traditions can still be experienced in the body and lived in modern practice.
