Overview
The Art of Teaching (30 hr), and Retreating
SKÅNE, SWEDEN
Teachers, space-holders and people-gatherers:
Are you relatively new and want to explore your offerings with greater depth?
Are you an experienced teacher finding yourself repeating the same thing over and over again?
How can we create a full bodied experience when teaching, far beyond āsana? How can we move and see beyond form?
This 30 hour advanced training exploration is for already qualified yoga teachers looking to ELEVATE their offerings, as well as spend some time retreating into the forest with your space-holder Sangha - community. Here, we experience the extraordinary sense of connection and trust the process of practice and dedication, together in the Swedish forest (2 hour drive) in humble huts, lakeside swimming, sauna and summer solstice ceremony.
We are here to train confident, magical, poetic and knowledgable teachers: empowered voices spreading the light of yoga around our communities. What you bring to the table is the most important tool, the greatest teacher is your individuality whilst developing your own authentic style and voice.

Lena Charlie - chef
Lena is a Copenhagen-based plant-based chef and yoga teacher with a PhD in food within the world of flavour and sensory perception. Mildly obsessed with matcha and tahini, she loves to share moments over a plate of deliciousness, on the mat or swimming in the ocean.
Her cooking is intuitive, colourful and inspired by the seasons nourishing the intimate connection to the world around and within us. For her, food is about exploration, play, pleasure and presence. From sourcing and preparing to eating, she invites more presence and intention into how we nourish ourselves, and hopefully inspires and awakens your senses for the delicious world of plants.
