WHO THIS IS FOR
This immersion was created for yoga teachers longing to re-connect to and explore their practice as well as to boost their teaching and business skills. Joining the full program will give you a certificate of completion and 50 hrs of Yoga Alliance continuing education credits. To fully enjoy the program, we think you are a yoga teacher with some teaching experience (it doesn't matter so much how long you've been teaching or what your practice looks like – the name advanced training is to emphasise this is not a foundational training). You have a 200 hr training or similar behind you. Some or all of this resonates with you:
You are longing to practice and just be a student on the mat
You want to connect with other yoga teachers
You did a foundational training but don't have much experience teaching
You are actively teaching but need new inspiration for classes
You need to build confidence creating your own classes
You want to be more professional and business minded
You are looking for ways to stand out as a yoga teacher
You feel stuck and need a boost
You want to combine self-care of a yoga retreat with professional growth
We invite all levels of yoga teachers to this program. It's fine if you are super insecure about planning classes and teaching, or if you are self-conscious about where your practice is at. We've all been there. You'll also get a lot of out the program if you have taught yoga for 10 years or more. With our combined experience of teaching, running businesses and educating yoga teachers, we'll meet you and challenge you on your level.
Non-yoga teachers are welcome to join the morning and evening asana classes for a wonderful retreat experience. This might be perfect if you wish to bring a friend/partner along. It might also be a great way to get to know us if you are considering our 200 hr yoga teacher training.

WHY WE CREATED THIS
We have created the yoga teacher's retreat and training combination we always wanted to go to ourselves. One with community and networking, lots of physical practice, a chance to deepen our skills and get inspired to elevate our yoga teaching game, and of course a beautiful retreat environment. We can see that the 300 hr advanced training format has some real challenges. We wanted instead to offer a very specific advanced yoga teacher training in a more digestible format.

TESTIMONIALS
Beautiful opportunity to step onto the mat as a student and find new inspiration. Both from Elin and Lisa and from the other students. I got to challenge my practice but also slow down. For me it was the perfect mix of practice, new sequencing skills, slow down and focus more inwards. All combined was super helpful. Beautiful surroundings in the mountains and a great place to refill yourself with energy. // Lena, Germany
What a wonderful few days. Lovely people. Inspiring yoga classes. Way above my expectations, I loved the concept of blending yoga teachers and those who just love to practice. It was so inspiring to be amongst everyone. Fantastic atmosphere with openness, love, care, play and space for all. // Signe, Denmark
Great experience. I wanted to recharge and inspire my practice and this was perfect. Elin and Lisa do a wonderful job holding and creating space for everyone as themselves. // Allison, USA
It has been a gift to be here. It has filled me with gratitude, joy and hope, and it has helped me understand where I am meant to go. It opened up new perspectives. Wonderful journey, I cannot wait to go further on my path. // Rachel, Switzerland

YOGA TEACHER'S WORKSHOP
Workshops for yoga teachers with any level of teaching experience. We aim to develop your sequencing as well as your theming skills using the True North Vinyasa class planning methodology. Along with self leadership and branding, these skills will help you evolve and stand out as a yoga teacher both for existing students and in the pursuit of growing your business. We will help define your brand and target group, and use that platform when setting business goals for the future. In these workshops we ask you to share and listen to others, to explore and be open to feedback.
EVENING CLASS/WORKSHOP
Physical workshops for anyone wishing to explore their asana practice on a technical level and take on more challenging poses. We will use the walls, different props and work in pairs. You will learn drills, tricks, efficient prep work, hands-on assists and other ways to approach arm balances, inversions and backbends. Some evening classes will focus more on yin, restorative, soft flow and meditation.
SELF STUDY & FREE TIME
Every day you'll have a few hours of time to explore. We may give you some tasks of a more contemplative nature for this time, and you may want to use some of this time to keep working on tasks from the workshops. You may also choose to check out the area. Our venue is situated in the mountains, high above sea level. There is an abundance of trails for hiking, trail running and mountain biking right outside the door. To find out more about the hikes, the area and if you need to rent equipment, begin here ››
