The best yoga teachers never stop being students. 🌿

What makes a truly impactful yoga teacher?

It’s not how many poses you know.
It’s not how perfectly you demonstrate them.

It’s how you show up.
How you connect with your students.
And how willing you are to keep growing.

Completing your 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is a huge milestone. But what if it’s only the beginning?

The deeper we go into yoga, the more we realize there is always more to explore.

✨ More understanding of the body and breath.
✨ More depth in our practice.
✨ More wisdom in how we teach.
✨ More connection to ourselves and others.

Our 300-Hour Yoga Alchemy Immersion is an opportunity to take that next step.

Over 28 days at Yandara in Mexico, you’ll explore intelligent sequencing, functional anatomy, yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama, mantra, and what it means to teach from a place of authenticity.

This isn’t just about becoming a better yoga teacher.

It’s about continuing to evolve as a student, a practitioner, and a human being.

Because the most powerful teaching often comes from the work we’re willing to do within ourselves.

Already completed your 200-hour training and feeling called to go deeper? This might be your next step. 🤍

17 beautiful days in Sweden, spent learning, growing and deepening a practice that has meant so much to me. Surrounded by beautiful forest that felt like home, and a community of wonderful people, it was the perfect place to complete my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training 🧘🏼‍♂️🕉

Biggest thank you to @shambalagatherings and @yandarayoga, and the most wonderful teachers @shanechristopherperkins, @karischein66 and @serah.naturaleza 🩷✨️

Ever finish teaching a class and think “That worked… but I’m not exactly sure why?”

There’s a big difference between memorizing sequences and actually understanding how to create them.

When you understand anatomy, movement, intention, and different bodies, sequencing becomes much more creative and intuitive.

You start asking:
◈ What does the body need here?
◈ What needs to be prepared?
◈ Where are we going, and why?
◈ How can I adapt this for different students?

At Yandara’s Sequencing & Applied Anatomy Training, we explore the art and science behind creating meaningful, intelligent sequences.

Over 9 days, we’ll dive into applied anatomy, peak pose sequencing, creative sequencing tools, cueing, teaching skills, and finding more confidence in your own voice as a teacher.

November 15-25, 2026
📍 Yandara Yoga Institute, Baja, Mexico

Whether you’re working toward your 300-hour certification or simply want to become a more knowledgeable and creative teacher, come immerse yourself in yoga, nature and community with us.

Stop wondering what pose comes next. Start understanding why.

Quest’estate sono partita per la Svezia per il mio Yoga Teacher Training con @yandarayoga
Dopo un viaggio della speranza, con almeno 5 cambi tra voli, bus e treni, sono finalmente arrivata a @shambalagatherings
Un posto magico, immerso nella foresta svedese e affacciato su uno splendido lago. La vista che vedete mi ha accompagnato durante tutte le giornate. ♡

Questa esperienza è stata molto più di quello che avevo immaginato. Tanta pratica, filosofia, momenti di silenzio, cose nuove da imparare e da capire, risate, mille pianti e, soprattutto, persone. Persone diverse tra loro in mille modi, con cui in pochissimo tempo ho creato legami speciali che non credo dimenticherò mai.
Grazie a tutti voi per avermi ispirato e grazie di cuore a @serah.naturaleza , @karischein66 e @shanechristopherperkins per avermi guidato lungo questo percorso. Thank you ✨

Qui ci sono alcuni scatti di quei giorni, opera della meravigliosa @stephgaul . Un piccolo pezzo del viaggio che mi ha portata fin qui.

Non vedo l’ora di condividere con voi un po’ di quello che ho imparato durante queste settimane e, soprattutto, di continuare a scoprire insieme tutto quello che lo yoga ha da insegnarci. ꩜

🫀 The Power Of Heart Coherence

Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches that when we move out of stress and intentionally cultivate elevated emotions, the rhythm of the heart becomes more balanced and coherent.

Instead of waiting for something outside of us to make us feel grateful, loving, peaceful, or whole, we can learn to generate those feelings from within.

Over time, this practice can help us become less emotionally dependent on our circumstances and more intentional about the energy we bring into our lives!

TRY THIS heart coherence meditation:

✨ Find stillness. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and allow your body to relax.

✨ Bring your attention to your heart. Place your awareness in the center of your chest. You may gently rest your hand over your heart.

✨ Slow your breathing. Imagine your breath flowing in and out through your heart. Breathe in for about five seconds and out for about five seconds, allowing your breath to become smooth and effortless.

✨ Cultivate an elevated emotion. Recall a person, place, or experience that naturally brings you feelings of gratitude, love, appreciation, compassion, or joy. Don't just think about the emotion. Allow yourself to fully feel it.

✨ Expand the feeling. Imagine this energy radiating from your heart, filling your entire body and extending beyond you.

✨ Rehearse your future. While staying connected to your heart, visualize the version of yourself you are becoming. Feel the emotions of that future as if it is already here.

✨ Surrender. Let go of the outcome, trust the process, and simply rest in the feeling for 10 to 15 minutes.

At Yandara, teaching and living from the heart has always been at the center of our mission. We believe the most impactful yoga doesn't come from perfect postures or memorized sequences. It comes from presence, authenticity, and a coherent heart.

If you're feeling called to deepen your practice, reconnect with what truly matters, and experience yoga from the heart, we'd love to welcome you to one of our trainings or retreats in Mexico or Sweden!

Come discover what becomes possible when the heart leads the way💚

There is something special about practicing yoga in the Swedish summer.

The forests slow you down.
The lakes invite you to be still.
The long days create space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

This August, join us at Shambala Gatherings for two transformational experiences:

🌿 The Living Sequence
August 4-9
An advanced 50-hour immersion for yoga teachers ready to refine their sequencing, deepen their understanding of movement, and teach with greater confidence, creativity, and intention.

🌲 17-Day 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
August 13-30
Whether your dream is to teach or simply deepen your own practice, this immersive training offers a life-changing journey through asana, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and conscious community in the heart of Sweden's beautiful forests.

Imagine morning yoga overlooking the trees, afternoons spent learning and growing, evenings in the floating sauna, nourishing vegetarian meals, wild blueberry walks, and meaningful connections with people from around the world.

If you've been waiting for a sign to step away from the noise and say yes to yourself, this might be it.

✨ Limited spaces remain. We'd love to welcome you to Sweden this summer.

❤️ Meet your teachers:
Christopher Perkins @shanechristopherperkins

Some journeys have a beautiful way of coming full circle.

This August, @serah.naturaleza will be traveling to Sweden to teach alongside her teachers @shanechristopherperkins & @karischein66 from Yandara Yoga Institute for their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

This collaboration is held by shared values and a common belief that yoga extends far beyond the mat. The training is an invitation to deepen your practice, embody the teachings, and learn to guide others with authenticity, compassion, and heart.
