Introducing… LA FINCA ⛲️

We’ve found a new home in Tenerife! 🏡

La Finca is an old restored Canarian farmhouse turned wellness centre on the East coast of Tenerife island.

Our school is on the sunny side of the island, where volcanic mountains dive directly into the Atlantic Ocean creating dramatic ravines and beautiful scenes! 😍

The venue is full of character: tall stone walls, high ceilings, loft apartments, and many quiet corners to retreat to.

There are two yoga shalas, a pool, a sauna and a whirlpool bath for special occasions, and plenty of places to gather or be alone… all thoughtfully integrated into the lay of the land.

La Finca reflects what we value most in our trainings: a home for community, a space for self-reflection, and a deep connection to nature. ⛰️

With a small group of up to 18 students, La Finca is a space where you can really dive deep into the transformative power of Yoga.

Upcoming La Finca Courses:

☀️ April 20 –  May 7
☀️ May 18 – June 4
☀️ August 24 – September 10
☀️ September 28 – October 15
☀️ November 23 – December 10

Instead of feeling fully alive, yoga says that most people experience Avidya: a fundamental misperception... 🤷

💭 We confuse our minds with our selves.
💭 We confuse our thoughts for reality.
💭 We confused our stories for who we truly are.

This misperception means we’re moving through life half-asleep, simply reacting to our circumstances, instead of what we all truly desire: FEELING DEEPLY ALIVE. 🔥

So, tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Is Yoga a somatic practice? 🤔

Actually, you can say that yoga is THE original somatic practice.

What makes up a somatic practice?

1️⃣ SOMA
We are perceiving the body from within. Not so much how it looks, but how it feels.

2️⃣ INTEROCEPTION & PROPRIOCEPTION
We become aware of internal sensations like our breathing and our heart rate, and also where our bodies are in space.

3️⃣ MIND-BODY CONNECTION
We release physical and emotional tension using the breath and mindful awareness.

4️⃣ FEELING > DOING
We move away from a performing a ‘perfect pose’, and instead we repeat slow and mindful movements to learn new neural pathways.

Thank you, teacher , for this beautiful collaboration.

In Yin Yoga, slowing down is where the magic happens… 🪄

When we stay in stillness for a little longer, the body starts to soften and the hips (where we tend to hold a lot of tension)
can finally let go. 😮‍💨

Here are five Yin postures to help release the hips:

• Balasana or Child’s Pose
• Supta Baddha Konasana or Reclining Butterfly
• Supported Hip Opener
• Pigeon Pose
• Upavistha Konasana or Seated Wide-Leg Fold

Longer Yin holds help release deep tension in the connective tissues, improve hip mobility, and bring the nervous system back to a calmer state. 🧘

Try this sequence at home:
Take your time,
breathe slowly,
and let the hips melt a bit. ❤️

“It’s hard to come up with the words to describe my teacher training experience at La Casa Shambala in Thailand.

The connections I walked away with will last a lifetime, and I felt so showered with support from the teachers, fellow students, and volunteers alike.

This immersive experience is not for the faint of heart. There is endless soul digging, rustic living in bamboo huts with compost toilets, and constant learning.

I wanted to go to the flagship location and venture to Asia for my yoga teacher training because it felt like the most authentic and raw way to experience my training.

For those looking for a program dedicated to simplicity and the love of yoga without all the fluff, Koh Phangan might be calling.”

Memories from our February YTT in Arafo, Tenerife. 🌞

“Beautiful location in the mountains, lots of nature. I felt like I was somewhere much further afield!

The teachers were wonderful, super experienced and very helpful and considerate. The classes flowed naturally and we always felt like they were reading and responding to our energy.

I did the intense training and I felt like everything fitted in nicely time wise.

Opportunities were giving to socialise and the food was incredible!

Such kindness and helpful tips given by the team during our stay. So happy to have chosen this organisation and this location.

February was a perfect month and the value for money was great!.”

How did Ganesha get his elephant head? 🐘

According to myth, the goddess Parvati wanted some privacy while she bathed, so she created a boy from clay and breath and asked him to guard the door… 🚪

“Don’t let anyone in,” she said.

But then her husband Shiva returned home and tried to enter. But the boy didn’t know who he was. Faithfully, he blocked the doorway.

Shiva grew angry and in a moment of rage cut off the boy’s head. 🙊

When Parvati came out and saw what had happened, she was heartbroken. 💔

To make things right, Shiva promised to bring the boy back to life. He sent his followers to find the first head they could in the forest.

They returned with the head of a young elephant. 🐘

Shiva placed it on the boy’s body and brought him back to life.

He then blessed him and declared that Ganesha would be honored before all other gods and would forever be known as the remover of obstacles. 🙏

That’s why in yoga people call on Ganesha at the beginning of new journeys to clear the path ahead… 🛣️

Are you planning about starting a new journey soon?

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, 🤍🌍
