“Participating in the Women´s Health Yoga & Leadership Training was a breakthrough for me….I wanted to start my own business in personal development but I felt a bit lost during the process. This training helped me focus on where I wanted to go, who I am and how to stay centred on my path through yoga, good food and meditation.”

“Through the experience of this Women’s Yoga Teacher Training, I could feel my body and mind connection as never before. It has been a very special time for me. I was able to finally express myself and the sensations in my body, and now, I’m able to recognize my dysfunctional patterns and even learnt how to prevent them from arising. I also learned to trust, to love myself and follow my feeling and my dreams. I love the flexibility and the sensitivity of teachers, always ready to catch up what was going on in the group, making adjustments if needed.”
Why are we passionate about this training?
Our modern society and traditional hatha yoga approaches taught today are primarily based on masculine and patriarchal principles and paradigms. This imbalance of our culture is why many women experience dis-ease, imbalance and disempowerment in their lives. Signs and symptoms of this include the increase in women’s reproductive health issues, hormonal imbalances, depression and anxiety, and exhaustion and fatigue.
The great news is that you can change and heal your life, and build a life that honours a feminine, heart-centred way of Being Woman, and step into a holistic paradigm of embodied and empowered feminine living.
More than another yoga program, this unique course will inspire you to re-connect to your feminine power, re-ignite your passion and purpose, transform your fears and doubts into trust and intuitive wisdom to increase your self-mastery, and support you to embody your inner teacher and leader from a feminine approach of authenticity.
Portugal has been one of the best-kept secrets of Europe for decades. The most southern country of Europe and the doorway to the Atlantic make this small big country unique for its cultural heritage, stunning cliff beaches, and delicious culinary flavors. The locals are friendly and laid back, welcoming everyone that comes from abroad to visit.
Picturesquely draped across sandstone cliffs above the blue Atlantic, sunny, whitewashed Ericeira, our location for this yoga teacher training, is popular with lisboêtas seeking a quick weekend getaway. It’s equally renowned for spectacular ocean vistas and excellent seafood restaurants and is also a mecca for surfers, who come here for the great waves and camaraderie. The town’s old center is clustered around Praça da República, with the sprawl of newer development spreading south and north. Boasting a pristine coastline and glorious beaches, Ericeira is also the only natural surf reserve in Europe.
Our venue for our Yoga Teacher Training is a boutique guesthouse, 5 minutes walk to the beach and the 2 minutes walk to the incredible cliffs of the west coast of Portugal. This location is a very peaceful place, ideal for the work that will do on the training and you have also surfing and hiking just at your doorstep. The studio is overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by pristine nature.

“Attending the Woman´s Yoga & Leadership Training have been one of the most transformative trainings I have done. Being a full time yoga teacher and studio owner, life gets busy and I came to this training with the intention of practicing and deepening myself in the studies and in myself, more than just learning about new concepts intellectually.
With Sofia´s and Atira´s loving, professional, transformative and inspiring teachings and guidance, I now feel like a new woman. In fact, I’m prouder than ever to be a woman! I now know how to fully honor my womanly being and cycle in order to discover even more gifts and superpowers in this life as a spiritual female being. It feels like the beginning of a new journey, where I’ll be closer to myself than I even knew possible.
I can highly recommend this training for any woman who wishes to make a positive difference in her life.”
