La casa Shambala

Become a Yoga Teacher in a Place that Feels Like Home. With a Community that Feels Like Family.

La casa Shambala is a community focus in Yoga teacher trainings located in the paradise island of Koh Phangan (Thailand). This dream started about 2 years ago and it had been growing as a beautiful miracle ,bringing more and more beautiful souls to share this experience with us . The sense of community make our courses pretty different compare with another schools because during the YTTC the students are the only ones living in “la casa “ with the volunteers that helps during the whole process.Thanks to that the sense of community and closeness between the community gets bigger and also the retreat feeling to really go into the whole deep process that is this inner path . We are surrounded by jungle ,turquoise water and tropical vibes ,but the real good energy is created for the people that decide to go into their hearts and spend time with us . Profesional teachers that also friends will guide you in this experience of connection with your body ,mind and soul. Volunteers are always welcome and create a very important part of our community . All that ,and the birds ,mountains ,palm trees and lots of magic is part of our little paradise ,come and be part of the dream

What a way to start 2026! 🌞

Thank you to each of you for this shared journey, for your smiles, your listening, your presence and above all, as we’ve said many times, for your kindness, a subtle and powerful quality that is no longer so common today.

I wish that the world treats you as kindly as you have treated this space and time together, which for me has been sacred.

May the rest of this year and your life be a continuous invitation to step out, learn, fall and rise again, listen to yourselves and keep trying.

May you feel proud to have honored that dream you’ve held in your heart for so long, unsure if you would ever see it through.

And now, here you are, with your certificate in hand, grounded in your practice. I am happy to conclude with the knowing that you will be authentic yoga teachers, present, mindful and even more attentive and conscious both on and off the mat.

See you around, 🤍🌍

Thinking about a Yoga TTC in Tenerife? 🌋

“This training in Arafo, Tenerife was a truly special experience – very challenging, but at the same time incredibly beautiful.

I didn’t only learn a lot about yoga, but also about myself and who I want to be.

Coco and Maite are amazing teachers. Their knowledge, clarity and the way they teach from the heart makes every class inspiring and meaningful.

Susy, the house coordinator, is absolutely wonderful – always kind, present and supportive.

The food was also delicious and nourishing – thank you, Santi!

I’m very grateful for this experience and will carry a lot of it with me. 🙏🏻♥️”

Meet Johanna Hellinger. ❤️

“Yoga helped me 20 years ago with sciatic pain and stress in a period in my life, where I needed it most.

I was able to expand my mind and horizon by traveling and exploring yoga in India and diving into the existing spiritual cultures.

Studying and teaching yoga as an extension of my practise continues to deepen my passion for it. It helps my understanding of the physical body and how the breath affects the metaphysical and emotional bodies.

I was always very curious in the therapeutic application of yoga in combination with science, Ayurveda and TCM to help others individually to find what they need to create balance in their lives.

⁠I have been practising yoga for 20 years and am teaching yoga for 11 years. I teach Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga inspired by Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and Sivananda Yoga, Restorative, Yin Yoga and the embodied practise of Self Myofascial release with the Roll model method.

The subjects I teach in the TTC are Anatomy, Teaching methodology, Philosophy, Asana Clinics and Teaching as a profession.

My invitation is to practise yoga with kindness and a mindful embodied approach - the greatest gift you can give to yourself and others is presence!

I feel that by sharing my knowledge with students I can encourage them to do what they are passionate about and extend their yoga beyond the mat.”

Yoga brings people together from all corners of the world… each speaking their own language, unique stories, and cultural traditions. And yet, something beautiful happens here… we realize we all speak the same language: connection, presence, and love. ❤️

You don’t just learn yoga from a YTT. You expand through the cultures you encounter, the perspectives you receive, and the bonds that form in the most unexpected ways. ✨

Strangers from distant places become family.
And what begins as diversity becomes unity.

What does yoga mean to you?

What is Self-Love? 💗

In yoga, self-love is not indulgence.

It is Ahimsa… non-violence toward yourself.

It is the quiet commitment to meet yourself with honesty, compassion, and presence. 🩷

To walk the path of yoga is to understand yourself, to care for your body, your mind, and your energy.

This Valentine’s Day, we invite you to practice self-love as devotion. 💓

If your heart has been calling you toward deeper practice, toward teaching, toward living yoga more fully, then give yourself the gift of devotion this Valentine’s Day.

A day in the life of a yoga teacher in training in Monchique, Portugal… 🎼🧘🌳

“I loved it to bits...

The place itself is pretty unique but it wouldn’t be the same without the people. The Monchique team was incredible!

- I am amazed by the kindness and professionalism from teacher’s Martina and Johanna.
- I felt safe with the Manager Debora, which made the living there smooth and comfortable.
- The food made by Ramiro exceeded my expectations and I ended up buying his book as I cannot live without it now....
- And the volunteers: Manu, Kara, and Marley has been the most beautiful souls, creating homey vibes✨❤️ They were not only friendly but also supportive and loving ☀️

Overall you have great people working there please take care of them well💫.”

In Thailand, we’ve been blessed with two new amazing managers! 👯‍♀️

We asked them to describe their first experience managing a TTC with La Casa Shambala…

“I feel deeply grateful to have had the chance to be part of such a beautiful group of beings, all so eager to learn, share and grow.

Witnessing how, over these 18 days, you’ve transformed has been truly moving. 🥹

Seeing how yoga slowly became more than just a physical practice, and how some of you have felt a genuine calling to continue walking this path has filled my heart in ways that are hard to put into words.

This is what I love the most: seeing you arrive with one perspective and leaving with a completely new way of seeing yourself and the world.”

Ruth,
Manager in Thailand

“This course was a completely new experience for me, and I receive it with deep gratitude.

What touched me most was meeting so many beautiful souls and sharing such heartfelt connections.

It felt like more than a course… it felt like a coming together, guided by something greater than us.

I trust that the bonds created here will continue to grow and that our paths will cross again in meaningful ways 🤍”

Jane,
Manager in Thailand

POV: our last Alicante TTC without a trending audio… 🎧

25/01/2026

There are moments when the body doesn’t need more effort.
It needs more listening… 🧘🏻‍♀️

Yin Yoga teaches us how to slow down without guilt…
how to stay with sensation without reacting…
and how to create space for the nervous system to settle…

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Yin is the principle of stillness, depth, and receptivity. The quiet intelligence that restores balance when life feels too fast. ☯️

Our 50-Hour Online Yin Yoga Teacher Training is a self-paced, Yoga Alliance–certified journey that’s designed to help you understand Yin Yoga: not as a stretching practice, but as a meditative, nervous-system-focused discipline rooted in awareness and love. 💕

Winter is the natural home for a quiet, introspective Yin Yoga practice.

Save €200 on our Yin TTC during the January Winter.

P.S. It was previously €399, and it’s available now for only €199! (that’s 50% off)

Offer valid until 6 February 2026.

“I recently completed the Yoga Teacher Training in Alicante, Spain.

I had the best time and honestly was so sad to leave.

La Casa Shambala created a beautiful space for everyone to learn and have the most peaceful couple of weeks.

From the asana practice, yoga theory, instructors, and meals served, you could tell that a lot of thought had gone into curating this experience.

The days were long and sometimes challenging, but honestly, worth it.

Knowing I could push my body in new ways and persevere was the best feeling.

I met so many amazing people and had so many great connections.

The vegan meals were also so delicious and unique! I will never forget this experience. 10/10, would totally recommend.
