"I did the 21-day yoga instructor training at the center, which I found extremely useful and interesting both physically and personally. Carlos offers tools and makes you question a lot of things. I especially valued the Feldenkrais method, with its gentle, conscious-movement approach that invites you to explore your body without forcing it, and the meditation classes that helped me turn inward."
"I did the 21-day instructor training here. It was a wonderful experience. It is a very holistic learning process where you get to know your body better, the movements, the biomechanical logic behind yoga practices, and of course the philosophy of yoga. The teachers are very wise and pass on knowledge in a way that lets you learn very quickly. I would always come back to this place."
"Excellent — the best yoga classes I've ever had. I'm here for the instructor training and I've progressed very quickly and effectively. The teachers are excellent, the space is beautiful, and the method motivates me more every time. Very happy with this space and this experience."
