Retreats

Alicia and Oliver are so genuine as human beings. They ARE yoga embodied- combining mind, body and soul in everything they do. They have been practicing and teaching yoga for decades which further underlines why you should pick them as teachers. Although the intensive 200 hours format (which in reality like 300 hours) is just that (intensive), I would not have wanted it any other way. That is because it enables you to fully dive into your learning experience. I also liked that the homework intensified the inner process and integration of the material, although at times feels overwhelming. To be onsite for 4 weeks builds a very strong and supporting connection with the other students. We were in it together! The fact that we all still send pics, updates and support to each other almost weekly, shows just that we were a strong community, learning together, and supporting each others’ learning. The intense sounds from the jungle surrounding the yoga hall further intensified the whole experience. The smells, the sunrise, the rain, the occasional swims in the natural pool-it all magnified the experience. The weekly excursions were a beautiful and VERY important break from all the teaching: seeing the terraced rice fields, snorkeling and swimming with multicolored fish in Nusa Lembongan, soaking in the natural hot springs, sound bathing in the pyramids in Ubud, even have a spa and shopping experience, all were grand! If you are looking to teach Yoga, look no further! The Yogaworks method is known worldwide for their thorough education, and Alicia and Oliver are such heartwarming and knowledgeable teachers!
