This teacher training program was a life changing experience, not only did I have the opportunity to learn from Balazs and Karin’s incredible knowledge I was able to go on a journey of inner understanding. Time away from my daily life challenged me to reprioritize the things I find important and allowed me to set a different trajectory for my life. I would recommend this training to anyone who wants to give themselves an opportunity for greater personal development.

My Teacher Training in Malta was an awakening, enlightening and inspiring experience that has added so much light to my journey. Training for 18 days straight and learning from Balazs and Karin really opened up my mind, body, spirit, soul and my heart to new manifestion of life. I am extremely grateful I got to learn under them and thankful for the support of family here on Long Island. They have become mentors to me and I will continue to learn from them and hope to be back in Malta soon!

This training was a life-changing experience for me. I started the training with no more than just the intention of getting certified as a Yoga teacher, I finished it with a new attitude towards living, eating and spirituality. I am now ready to go out to the world and share my knowledge with the others who are in need.

About Karin Heller

With a background in theatre, dance, and yoga, movement has always been my language, my curiosity, my passion. Trained in contemporary dance and as a somatic movement practitioner, I love guiding others through embodied practices that invite play, discovery, and creation. Through this toolkit, I help students reconnect with their instinctive, primal movement—finding ease in grounding, fluidity in flow, and confidence in their own body’s intelligence. My 500hrs yoga certification through Shiva Rea’s Samudra Global School of Living Yoga and Fred Busch Power Yoga, my bachelor studies in release technique, free form dance improvisation, and somatics, and my decade-long work as assistant teacher at FitYoga Teacher Training, led me to create and launch a training program that fuses the best of both worlds. My vision is to create a program where yoga, somatics and dance meet in one enchanting place in the heart of nature.

Curriculum

VINYASA YOGA
offers a complete release, a gentle melting that moves through the body like a warm wave. With every inhale and exhale, the breath leads, and the body follows, firm yet fluid, turning each movement into meditation, each pause into presence. The practice becomes a living ritual, a dance of the soul that unfolds slowly, allowing tension to soften and energy to awaken. The five sequences we study follow the teachings of the five elements, namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether, each balancing and emphasising a different quality in our system. Besides practicing and learning to teach the sequences we shall also dive deeper in the art of creative sequencing and the logic behind it.

DANCE & SOMATICS
Our guided dance practice starts with an invocation, where we meet ourselves, acknowledge our present body-mind-spirit state and connect with the Earth through grounding somatic movement practices. Through release and mindful contact, we explore different ways of free flow Sahaja across the floor. As the rhythm of the drums invites the fire element our grounding practice evolves into a liberating and energising dance. The pulse is softened by Eastern melodies of flutes as we explore the Water through conscious waving and intuitive discovery. The sensitive balance of energizing highs and mindful flows peaks as we embody Air, moving accross the space with awareness and compassion.

MOVEMENT MEDITATION & BREATHWORK
Movement meditation is any type of meditation in which we are moving, as long as it is mindful and practiced with intention. Moving meditation releases physical tension while allowing the body to drift into a meditative state by using repetitive movements and the breath. We will explore different forms of movement meditations, such as mudra vinyasas, pranams, kriyas, somatic movement meditation as well as walking meditation. This course will explore various forms of pranayamas such as nadi shodana pranayama or kapalabhati.

HATHA YOGA & ALIGNMENT
This module will introduce you to the main asana families, detailing the benefits and contraindications of each asana, as well as the art of sequencing. Students will study the correct alignment of the different yoga asanas, how to adjust, what to look out for, how to use props, and also how to modify and adapt asanas and sequencing to different needs. This module will also explain how bandhas and drishtis work, their significance, and how to use the body`s energetics and energy lines during practice.

CORE FLOW & PILATES
Will reveal the differences and similarities of Yoga and Pilates and how to effectively combine the two methods. We will learn a variety of core exercises for the abdominals and also how to perform lower back strengthening yoga asanas “the Pilates-way”.

THE GIFT OF CHAKRAS
This workshop will focus on developing awareness of the body’s seven major chakras (energy centers) and subtle channels (nadis), teaching methods to create harmony and peace in your everydays. We will learn about the gift of each chakra, about out-of balance states, about how asanas can help bring back balance, powerful affirmations, and chakra meditation. These practices assist the body and mind to communicate efficiently on a cellular level helping us to achieve balance physically, mentally, and emotionally.

THE 5 KOSHAS
‘Are you your body? Are you energy? Are you your personality? Or is there something else? Through exploring the five layers or koshas of our human existence we will discover our true higher being and how it is different from what we think ourselves to be. The workshop will introduce you to the alchemy of our human existence, the creation of the universe, vibration, the five elements, the gunas and the circle of life. Our topic will gently unfold into a deep conversation about the reason we are here on earth.

THE 5 KLESHAS
According to the Sutras, the five kleshas, or mental obstacles are the driving force behind our thoughts. Our thoughts impede our path toward bliss and enlightenment by creating a negative and painful mental field. Our purpose is to spot our thinking mind and to mindfully overcome those thoughts. This workshop will teach us how to recognize and dissolve these afflictions through the practice of yoga.

THE 5 VITAL ENERGIES – VAYUS
We will discuss in more details the pranamaya kosha and the related five vayus (winds) of energy flow, the effects blockages have on our body, mind and spirit and how different asanas can help release these energy blockages. The second part of the workshop gives a basic introduction to the nadis system or energy highway of the human body, explores ida and pingala imbalances in the human body and teaches how to deal with these imbalances through pranayama breathing techniques.

YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI
In the West yoga is known only as a physical practice, but in reality it is a vast collection of spiritual principles and practices aimed at integrating mind, body and spirit to achieve a state of enlightenment or oneness with the universe. The aim of this workshop is to introduce you the traditional yoga philosophy, to have a better understanding on how to implement the ancient spiritual teachings into our modern everyday life. We will examine the four goals (purushartas) of human life; and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (5 yamas & niyamas) defined literally as “the path to transcendence”.

YOGA HISTORY
While its exact origins are unknown, yoga has a rich history that can be traced back thousands of years. The history of yoga is typically divided into four periods, which include its origins, evolution, practice, and advancement. This lecture will introduce you to the different periods of yoga, as wellas to the yogic scriptures, The Vedas, the Upanishads, as well as to one of the most important religious texts of Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita. The second part of the lecture will tap into modern yoga history, and the different lineages, and yoga styles.

AYURVEDA HEALING & SELF CARE
A brief introduction to the science of life, Ayurveda, to identify and understand how the forces of nature, such as the gunas, tattvas, and doshas work in our bodies and mind. Ayurveda emphasizes prevention through nutrition and lifestyle practices that are in alignment with nature`s rhythms and wisdom. Thus by identifying your doshic constitution, this workshop will empower you to observe, practice, and change the life patterns that cause stress and imbalance in your life. It will give you hands-on lifestyle advice, nutrition tips, and also yoga practice tools according to your type.

VEGAN NUTRITION
Following a conscious, alkaline, vegan nutrition plan is one of the best lifestyle steps that one can take. Learn the basics of whole food plant-based nutrition, and learn how to prepare easy, hassle-free vegan meals even when cooking is not your strength. Our daily vegan meals will keep you light and energised throughout your day, moreover, they will inspire you to teach others how healthy can be also delicious. Experience the amazing effect of savoury warm dishes, fresh wholesome salads, and energising smoothies, and say goodbye to high acidity, tiredness & low energy.

PRENATAL YOGA
On this workshop you will experience a full prenatal yoga lesson and prenatal meditation. We will discuss body and mental changes of pregnancy, possible challenges and injuries. We will learn breathing techniques and how to adapt supported balances, standing, seated and lateral poses to pregnancy.
