Each course includes structured hours of daily practice, practical workshops, and philosophy discussions — all taught by a faculty dedicated to integrity and inclusivity.

We welcome everyone — whether you come from a movement background, wellness profession, or are simply curious about traditional teachings. You’ll have access to online resources, personal mentorship, and ongoing support long after the program ends. This is more than a certificate — it’s a gift you give yourself, and a foundation you can share with others.

Course testimonials- Reviews
This course became a great recipe for my life which I can take with me to my daily life and use to cook different dishes with my own flavour. Thanks for providing me with this quality time. I finally feel connected to myself. - Soo, Korea
I felt supported and loved by the teachers, the students and myself. I learnt a lot on Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga in general but also on how to love and be the better version of myself. I leave with a wonderful toolbox, lots of ideas and full of love. - Mathilde, France
Hard to summarise as I feel over the moon; so much information, so much transformation I have no clue of yet; I loved the structure of a day. Nydum felt like a safe bubble. - Katha, Germany
