Home › Retreats › 50-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Immersion in Southwest France
France · 7 days · From USD 1557
The training is structured as Part 1 of a two-part 50-hour immersion. It's designed for teachers who already hold a 200-hour or 500-hour certification and are actively teaching — this isn't a foundation course, it's a deep-dive into areas that most 200-hour trainings only sketch out.
Mornings open with meditation, then move into a guided or self-practice session, followed by pranayama. After brunch there's a lecture block on functional anatomy and intelligent movement — how the spine actually moves, what load and capacity mean in practice, and how to spot and respond to limitations. Afternoons cover hands-on assists: how to support diverse bodies without relying on a single 'ideal' alignment model. The day closes with pranayama theory, mantra chanting, dinner, and an integration or satsang session.
The goal is to leave teaching differently. Instead of memorised cues, you learn to observe what's in front of you and adapt. Instead of fixed sequences, you understand the principles behind them. The instructors explicitly frame this as therapeutic yoga — not clinical treatment, but creating practices that are sustainable, adaptable, and appropriate to each body.
The villa itself supports the immersive feel: no commuting, no distractions, just the group and the teachers. Between sessions you can swim in the heated pool, use the sauna, or walk to the nearby lake. The Atlantic coast and its surf beaches are a short drive away if you want to get out on a rest break.
