An immersive week of learning and creation

This training offers an immersive space to pause, reflect, create, and give shape to the next chapter of your work.
Over one focused week, you’ll take part in practical workshops, creative exercises, group conversations, individual reflection, and constructive feedback. This format gives you the opportunity to step away from your everyday routine, dedicate time and energy to your ideas, and make meaningful progress alongside a supportive community of yoga and wellness professionals.
You’ll develop a clearer understanding of what you want to offer, who you want to serve, how you want to communicate, and what kind of business feels sustainable and authentic to you.
Overview

THE THREE PILLARS

This 50-hour training is structured around three key pillars: Foundations, Strategy, and Presence.

Give your ideas a practical foundation. You’ll explore how to organize your services, projects, priorities, and time in a way that supports your energy and long-term goals. We’ll also consider what it means to lead your own project with clarity, empathy, flexibility, and confidence.

PRESENCE

5. Visual identity, photography, and storytelling
Explore how words, images, and stories can work together to express the essence of your project. You’ll develop a more coherent visual direction, learn how to prepare and create content, and discover how storytelling can help people understand and connect with your work.
6. Instagram and other social media platforms
Develop a more intentional approach to social media. You’ll explore how to create meaningful content and build a presence that supports your business.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
IRENE ALDA

Irene Alda is a yoga teacher, author, scientist, university academic director, and faculty member. She has been teaching yoga since 2013 and developing yoga and wellness projects since 2014, creating classes, workshops, online programs, collaborations, and content for international brands. She has taught across Europe, participated in leading yoga and wellness events, published a book, and had her work featured in publications such as Glamour, Women’s Health, and Sportlife. Her Ph.D. in Physics and her current leadership role at IE University have shaped the way she works: with curiosity, structure, creativity, empathy, and attention to detail. This training brings together everything Irene has learned through entrepreneurship, mentoring, experimentation, successes, and mistakes to help yoga professionals build projects that feel authentic, sustainable, and aligned with the lives they want to create.

Early-booking bonus

The first six confirmed participants will receive a private 60-minute mentoring session with Irene. The session may take place in person during the training, subject to availability, or online within one month of completing the training.

This dedicated space will allow you to explore your project in greater depth, work through a specific question or challenge, and define clear, personalized next steps. A limited number of in-person appointments will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

SOME LOVE FROM IRENE´S students

HEAR FROM OTHER GRADUATES

A wonderful experience. Even after almost seventeen years of yoga practice, I it was very insightful to delve into an important part of a yoga teacher’s professional development: marketing, social media, websites, and the tools needed to communicate my work. The training helped me develop exactly the skills I needed. I would encourage yoga teachers at any stage of their career to explore the business and marketing side of their work as well.

Arjuna
I chose this training because I already knew Irene and trusted the quality of her work, her attention to detail, and the care she puts into everything she does. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start or develop a project in the yoga world, whether they already have a clear idea or are still discovering their direction. In my case, the training helped me see new possibilities, broaden my perspective, and imagine paths I had not considered before. It was a very enriching experience.
Meri
This training came into my life at exactly the right moment. I was starting my yoga project and had no idea how to approach it. It gave me practical tools for my website, social media, and communication, as well as guidance on what my project really needed. Irene helped me organise my ideas, understand the next steps, and move forward with more confidence. I also gained a wonderful community: we still stay connected, collaborate, and support one another.

RAQUEL
Amazing experience. It gave me the push I needed to take the next step in my career, as well as many useful tools and new perspectives. It helped me look beyond the short term and see my professional path more clearly. Working with Irene is wonderful: she speaks from experience, is always available, and if she does not know something, she finds the information and shares the source with you. What I gained from the training went far beyond my expectations, and I would definitely do it again.

MAGNIFICENT YOGA HALL

THE OM DOME
The Om Dome is Suryalila's iconic yoga space, a stunning geodesic dome inspired by sacred architecture and designed to support deep practice and learning. During your training, you will spend many hours here practicing yoga, meditation, and teaching skills while enjoying panoramic views of the Andalusian countryside through its large bay window. Looking out across rolling hills and the ruins of an old monastery, the setting offers a constant reminder of the beauty and stillness that surround us.

OTHER SHALAS

GANESHA YOGA SHALA
Ganesha is a spacious and light filled yoga hall featuring wooden floors, exposed beams, and large windows on both sides. The natural light and fresh air create a comfortable environment for practice, study, and group sessions. An adjoining balcony opens onto sweeping views of the Andalusian hills, providing a peaceful place to pause, reflect, or connect with fellow trainees between classes.
THE MOON SHALA
Nestled among the olive groves, the Moon Shala is an inspiring space built with natural materials and thoughtful craftsmanship. Its pine wood floor, soaring ceiling, and hand painted murals create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Surrounded by nature, this unique shala offers a sense of calm and connection that supports both learning and personal growth throughout your training journey.

Massage Therapy

At our Yoga Retreat Centre, we always have highly trained massage therapists for both warm and caring massages. Treat yourself and recover from the yoga teacher training with Thai Yoga, Deep Tissue and other treatments. 

THAI YOGA MASSAGE

Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art with origins in Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga and Buddhism. It has evolved into a unique and magical combination of deep stretching, rhythmic compression, soft tissue manipulation, gentle rocking, energy balancing and acupressure.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic treatment that works on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue to release tension, improve mobility, and support recovery. Particularly beneficial during intensive yoga training, it can help ease muscle stiffness, improve circulation, and promote a greater sense of physical wellbeing.
An ideal way to support your body and enhance your experience during your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.
