Yoga Teacher Training 200h
PRACTICE
“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.” – Malcolm Gladwell
The own personal practice is a key pillar of this 200h Yoga Teacher Training in Ecuador.
Only when you practice yourself, you can understand the teachings, feel the effects of the postures and then eventually teach it to others.
We practice every day in the morning. The mornings are silent and start with a meditation practice, followed by guided asana practice, pranayama and various other techniques.
We also close the day with a practice together, that will be more relaxing and preparing for the night.
That way you can not only deepen your personal practice, but also understand the different qualities – Yin and Yang – of various Yoga Styles and techniques like Sound Healing.
EXPLORATION
‘Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit.’ – Frank Borman
In this 200h Yoga Teacher Training we want to give you the opportunity not only to learn the basics of Yoga philosophy, asana, anatomy, sequencing and teaching – but more!
Everyone is different and everyone has different passions. There are many related teachings to Yoga, like Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Sound Healing, Thai Massage, Astrology and much more.
We want to give you an overview of these topics for you to explore what spikes your interest. Then you have the chance to specialize in the last week of the training, dive deeper into your fields of interest and become an outstanding teacher by learning how to incorporate what you have learned into your Yoga Class.
COMMUNITY
“We are all just walking each other home.”
Ram Dass
A Yoga Teacher Training is an important life event. Providing you with much knowledge and powerful insights about yourself and the world around you.
But it is so much more. A Yoga Teacher Training is an opportunity to evolve seperately, but also in a group of like minded people.
That is why we put community first and go through this training together. You will get to know your fellow Yoga Teachers to be, practice with them, learn with them and explore with them.
Whatever you will experience in these 3 weeks, you will not be alone. The community is here for you and the 2 experienced Yoga Teachers Ashley and Anna will guide you through this journey of knowledge, practice, awakening and self-awareness.

Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation Teacher 200 - RYT
ANNA SCHLEGEL
Anna has been teaching yoga, meditation, breathwork and other healing techniques all over the world for the last 8 years. Always on a mission to connect with herself and others and to help people to live a healthy and fulfilled life.
She started her studies in yoga and meditation in 2012 at the Sivananda Yoga Institute in Vienna, while still working in the field of marketing and consulting. Since then, she encountered and practiced many different styles of yoga and meditation, leaving Austria in 2016 to travel the world and formally become certified as a yoga and meditation teacher under Zuna Yoga in Bali, Indonesia. Here she also found a new connection to her element, the water, through surfing.
From there, she explored many different cultures, traditions, and teachings around the globe including hatha yoga (yin and yang styles), bhakti yoga, mantra singing, pranayama, astrology, and various forms of meditation, including in-depth practice of mindfulness meditation. All of that accompanied by the most spiritual of her practices, the connecting with the ocean through surf and the riding of waves.
She has been studying, teaching and surfing throughout Europe, North, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, always seeking to share her own learnings and experiences with her students.
Her teachings are influenced by the wide variety of philosophies and practices she encountered along the way, but also by the different cultures and forms of living she encountered in her travels. And of course, by the lessons of the ocean. Special emphasis is placed on discovering the energies present within and around us. Then, using various practices to (re)connect with ourselves via mind, emotions, breath, and body in order to increase our quality of living and level of happiness.
