Yoga, sunshine and a different pace of life
For 15 days, Tenerife becomes your yoga home.
Practise in the morning, learn throughout the day and have time to breathe, explore and enjoy the island around your training.
From volcanic mountains and black-sand beaches to the Atlantic Ocean and the warmth of the Canarian way of life, Tenerife gives you a beautiful setting to step away from your everyday routine and fully immerse yourself in your practice.
And for Andrea, co-founder and lead teacher of Shambhala, this isn’t simply a beautiful place to run a yoga school. Tenerife is home, she loves sharing its landscapes, culture and way of life with students who come from all over the world.
Because sometimes changing your surroundings helps you see your practice differently, too.
Why fully in person?
Some things are different when your teacher is right there beside you.
They can see how you move, hear how you teach, answer your questions in the moment and give you feedback that comes from actually practicing together.
Learning to teach yoga is not only about studying information. It is about practising, teaching, observing, receiving feedback, asking questions and trying again.
That’s why your 200-hour training at Shambhala takes place fully in person. From your first practice to your final teaching sessions, you are learning through direct experience, with your teachers and fellow students around you.
Why only 9 students?
We keep every 200-hour training to a maximum of 9 students, with 2 teachers throughout the course.
This gives you space to ask questions, receive individual feedback, practise teaching and learn through real experience.
Your teachers get to know you and your practice. They can notice your strengths, help you through challenges and guide you as you develop your own way of teaching.
For us, a small group isn’t simply about having fewer students. It’s about having more space to learn.

Learn with the people behind the school
There is something different about learning in a school where the people who created it are also the people who are there with you throughout your training.
At Shambhala, our founders are actively involved in the courses — teaching lessons, sharing their experience, observing your practice, answering your questions and being part of everyday life at the school.
We are personally invested in the experience you have here. We want to know you, understand how you learn and be there to support you throughout the journey.
Because when you spend 15 days learning together, relationships matter.
Depth takes time
There is only so much we can meaningfully learn, practice and integrate within a limited amount of time.
A teacher training isn’t simply about how many subjects, techniques or certificates can fit into a program. It’s about having enough time to understand, practice, ask questions, make mistakes, receive feedback and let the learning become part of you.
At Shambhala, we would rather give you the time and attention to truly experience what you are learning than fill your training with more and more material just to give you a longer list of certificates.
For us, becoming a yoga teacher is not about collecting knowledge. It’s about developing understanding.
What You Will Learn in Our 200-Hour Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training
Our 200-hour training is built around a strong foundation in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, while giving you the opportunity to experience different yoga practices from the inside.
We believe that becoming a yoga teacher is not only about learning information. It is about practicing, observing, asking questions, receiving feedback and experiencing the teachings for yourself.
Learning without exams
There are no grades, memorization tests or final exams at Shambhala.
Throughout your training, you learn by practising, teaching, observing and receiving feedback. Your teachers are there to guide you throughout the process, rather than waiting until the end to assess what you have learned.
For us, learning yoga is not about remembering the right answers for a test. It is about understanding, experiencing and being able to apply what you have learned.
Hatha Yoga
Develop a strong foundation in Hatha yoga, including alignment, breath, stability, awareness and mindful movement. You will learn the principles and teaching skills needed to confidently guide Hatha yoga classes.
Vinyasa Yoga
Learn how to create intelligent, purposeful sequences that connect movement and breath. You will develop the skills to plan, demonstrate and teach Vinyasa classes with clarity and confidence.
Anatomy & Physiology
Develop a practical understanding of anatomy and physiology for yoga and how the body responds to movement and different postures. Learn to observe individual differences and offer appropriate modifications and variations to support different students.
Yoga Philosophy & Humanities
Explore the roots, history and philosophy of yoga and discover how these teachings can extend beyond the yoga mat. We explore subjects including the Yoga Sutras, ethics, chakras, koshas, mudras and the yogic approach to everyday life.
Teaching Methodology
Develop the practical skills needed to become a confident yoga teacher. Learn about sequencing, class planning, verbal cues, demonstration, observation, adjustments, communication and creating a safe and supportive space for your students.
Pranayama
Explore traditional pranayama practices and understand how conscious breathing can influence the body, mind and energy. You will develop your own practice while learning how to confidently and safely guide pranayama techniques for your students.
Meditation
Explore different approaches to meditation and develop a personal practice rooted in awareness, concentration and inner observation. You will also learn how to guide meditation practices, creating a clear and supportive experience for your students.
Experiencing Different Yoga Practices
Throughout the training, you will also experience different approaches to yoga, including Yin Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Partner Yoga and Yoga Nidra.
These are not separate teaching certifications. They are part of your experience as a yoga student and future teacher.
By experiencing different practices yourself, you can feel the differences between them — how they move, how they feel in the body, how they influence the mind and what each practice has to offer.
Sound Bath
Experience the vibrational and meditative qualities of sound through a guided sound bath, offering another way to explore relaxation, awareness and deep rest.
Learning through experience
At Shambhala, we believe that yoga teaching is learned through more than information alone.
You need to feel the practice in your own body. You need to try teaching, receive feedback and learn from the experience.
Because becoming a yoga teacher isn’t just about knowing what to teach. It’s about experiencing yoga deeply enough to share it with others.
Your Teachers Are Part of Your Journey
A yoga teacher training is shaped not only by what you learn, but by who you learn from.
At Shambhala, you are guided by experienced teachers who are genuinely involved in your learning. With a maximum of 9 students and 2 teachers throughout your training, there is time to ask questions, receive personal feedback and be supported as you grow.
Because the groups are small, our teaching can also respond to the people who are actually in the room. Your teachers can observe your practice closely, offer adjustments more than once, notice how you are developing and adapt explanations, examples and teaching to the needs of the group. Every training is a little different because every group is different.
Our teachers bring different experiences, perspectives and areas of knowledge to the training, while sharing the same approach: teaching with presence, care, professionalism and respect for each student’s journey.
We want you to leave with more than a certificate.
We want you to leave feeling more confident in your practice, more comfortable teaching, and more connected to your own voice as a yoga teacher.
Accomodation Options & Prices
During your training, Shambhala becomes more than a place where you practice yoga.
You live here, practice here, learn here and share everyday life with the people around you.
Our rooms are comfortable and welcoming, with accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets. All the rooms have their own bathroom, shared only with the people staying in your room — not with the whole school.
With accommodation right at the school, your yoga practice, learning and everyday life naturally become part of the same experience. You can walk from your room to the shala, spend time in the garden, take a swim between sessions or simply find a quiet space to rest and recharge.
You’ll also have access to a washing machine, shower towels, a hairdryer in every room and our sauna.
During the winter months, we offer special sauna evenings — a lovely way to unwind after a day of practice.
Shared Triple Room
1490€ Per Person
A comfortable shared room with three single beds, private en-suite bathroom, Wi-Fi and a private patio.
This room has a more sheltered orientation and receives less direct sunlight, so it can feel cooler during the winter months. If you prefer a brighter, warmer room, our Triple Room near the Shala may be a better choice.
Shared Triple Room
1790€ per Person
A bright and comfortable shared room with three single beds, private en-suite bathroom, Wi-Fi and towels.
Located close to the yoga shala, it receives more natural sunlight and has a warmer feel — a lovely choice if you enjoy bright spaces and being close to the heart of the school.
Shared Double Room with Terrace
1990€ per Person
A comfortable shared room with two single beds, private en-suite bathroom, Wi-Fi and towels.
The highlight is your private terrace, offering a beautiful outdoor space to relax and enjoy the mountain and ocean views.
Single Room
2390€ per Person
A cosy private room with a single bed, Wi-Fi and towels, offering a little more privacy and your own space to rest after a day of practice.
The room has access to a terrace with beautiful views towards the Atlantic Ocean. The bathroom is shared with one other person.
Your 15 Days at Shambhala
Our 200-hour training is a 15-day immersive experience combining daily yoga practice with teaching methodology, anatomy, philosophy, meditation and pranayama.
Each day gives you time to practise, learn to teach, receive personal feedback and connect with your group. There is also space for self-study, rest and enjoying Tenerife, with Saturday afternoons and Sundays free.
You will practise. You will teach. You will ask questions, make mistakes, receive feedback and grow in confidence.
And somewhere along the way, you may begin to discover not only how to teach yoga, but how you want to teach it.

Time to breathe, explore and recharge
Saturday afternoon and Sunday are your time to slow down, rest, explore Tenerife or simply enjoy some space for yourself.
You might take a walk through the mountains, visit the coast, enjoy the pool, explore the island or stay at Shambhala with a book and some quiet time.
The rhythm of the training is immersive, but it is not designed to fill every minute. We believe you also need time to rest, process what you are learning and simply be.
Nourishing Food at Shambhala
We believe that some of the most beautiful moments are the simple ones we share with others.
Food is part of that experience at Shambhala. Our spacious kitchen and shared dining areas naturally become places to connect, talk, laugh and enjoy time together.
We carefully choose fresh, sattvic vegetarian ingredients, with a focus on seasonal and locally sourced produce whenever possible. We love supporting local farmers and bringing the flavours of Tenerife into our everyday life at Shambhala. We also grow some of our own produce in our garden, including delicious Canarian bananas.
Fresh ingredients are provided throughout your training, giving you the freedom to prepare nourishing meals and enjoy them together with your group.
Vegan and gluten-free options can be accommodated, as well as other dietary requirements and allergies. Just let us know in advance so we can make sure the ingredients provided are suitable for you.
Food is not just about nourishment. It is another opportunity to slow down, share, connect and feel at home.

I have different learning, sensory or communication needs. Can you support me?
Yes. Absolutely. We want you to feel comfortable, understood and able to learn in a way that works for you.
Everyone learns and experiences their environment differently. You may be autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia or another neurodivergence, or simply know that you learn best in a particular way. You may benefit from having more time to process information, knowing what to expect, receiving information in advance or having certain sensory needs considered.
If there is anything that helps you feel more comfortable, communicate or learn, please tell us before your training.
You do not need to share a diagnosis or any personal information you are not comfortable sharing. We want to understand what helps you, not put you into a category.
Where possible, we can send relevant information or materials in advance, let you know what we will be covering the following day, and adapt our explanations and teaching approach to different learning styles. We also have simple sensory tools, such as fidget items, available if they are helpful to you.
Our groups are small, which makes this kind of personal support much more possible. If you are unsure whether our training environment would work well for you, please contact us before booking. We are happy to have an open conversation and prepare together.
Do I need previous yoga teaching experience?
No. You don’t need to have taught yoga before. The training is designed to give you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to begin teaching.
