✨ Learning never ends✨

Learning is how we grow, how we heal, and how we expand into our fullest selves. Every class, every circle, every practice is an invitation to open, to listen, and to discover something new.

Whether it’s through yoga teacher training, Ayurvedic wisdom, or the simple act of sitting in community, we are reminded that life itself is the greatest teacher. 🌿

Here, learning is living. And when we choose to keep learning, we choose to keep evolving.

✨ Our Ayurvedic Massage Course was about stepping into a sacred space of growth, presence, and connection.

As one students Simon shared:

“There is so much warmth, authenticity, joy and love in the way Batya & Eran offer not only their knowledge and wisdom but their entire space and home with their students… it completely exceeded anything I could have ever imagined.” ❤️

Over four immersive days, students practiced the art of Abhyanga, grounding strokes, hot stones, and the intention of deep care. What emerged was a profound reminder of how healing touch can open the heart and restore balance.

🌿 This course was a beautiful reminder that Ayurveda is alive, practical, and deeply nurturing.

✨ Did you know? Every yoga pose has an anatomical story. For example:

In backbends, the spine’s extension is supported by strong glutes and open hip flexors; however, it is the breath that creates space and prevents compression.

By exploring anatomy through movement, breath, and practice, our students learn not only how the body works but also how to guide others safely and effectively.

Yoga anatomy focuses on cultivating awareness, alignment, and confidence as a teacher and practitioner.

🌿 In our trainings, yoga anatomy becomes a bridge connecting knowledge to wisdom, and the body to the heart.

Would you love to deepen your practice with this kind of embodied understanding? 💫

Our recent Ayurvedic Massage Course was nothing short of transformative. 🌿

Over four days, students immersed themselves in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda while learning hands-on techniques from warm oil Abhyanga to the grounding power of hot stones.

The feedback we received? ✨
– "It completely exceeded anything that I could have ever imagined."
– "It was so much more than just learning a skill, it was a deeply nurturing and loving journey. "
– “The teachings were shared with wisdom and presence, making Ayurveda feel not only practical but also sacred and alive."

Beyond learning a skill, the course became an invitation to slow down, connect, and discover the medicine of touch.

On the last days of our Shamana Yoga Teacher training's we prepare our students to apply all they learned into their life after the training.

One of the most important aspects of our Yoga training is Yogic and Ayurvedic diet.Its one of our favorite thing to share the magic of Shamana Kitchen and Batya"s famous cooking.

Here we came together for a beautiful cooking workshop with Batya, to learn how to apply Ayurvedic cooking principles and learn new recipes.

Cooking together is a way of learning practical tools that each student can take back home with them , carrying the wisdom of Ayurveda and yogic nutrition into their daily lives.

Through food, we nourish not only the body, but also the heart and spirit. These simple, mindful practices empower our students to cultivate a healthy yogic lifestyle wherever they go, weaving yoga into every part of life.

Discovering the Roots of Ashtanga Yoga 🌿✨

Last training, we had the gift of experiencing a beautiful Ashtanga Yoga class guided by Carlos . It’s a practice that reminded us of the strength, focus, and inner clarity this tradition offers.

Ashtanga, meaning “eight limbs,” is a system outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, encompassing eight interconnected paths toward personal growth and inner peace from ethical principles and daily discipline to breathwork, meditation, and deep states of awareness.

At its core, Ashtanga is about creating harmony between body, mind, and spirit through consistent practice. The sequence builds heat, cultivates strength, and clears the mind, allowing space for stillness within. 🌿

Whether you’re flowing through its movements or simply learning about its philosophy, Ashtanga is a reminder that yoga is a lifelong journey. One breath, one step at a time.🤲
