Kankueb, prana vidya, kriyas, and energy management for personal empowerment.

"IKY is, in my view, the school with the best yoga techniques — both for training teachers and for people who want to do personal growth work. All the teachers and team members are highly professional and the facilities are very comfortable. This is my second teacher training and, once again, the course exceeded my expectations, offering a wide range of very functional, effective techniques."
"I'm taking the teacher training at Ishka Kankueb Yoga, Feldenkrais method, and I've loved this experience. It has given me much more mental and physical clarity and awareness."
"I'm in the teacher training program — the experience has been amazing, the classes are unique, with a lot of awareness and connection with your own being."
"The best teacher training I have ever taken. Our teacher trained in several countries around the world and created a style of yoga based on all of that knowledge, aiming to bring mental and physical health through his movement classes, where we also learn how to respond to difficult situations in daily life. I would always recommend it, since the teacher keeps training and updating his movement techniques to this day. It is the best gift we can give ourselves personally, and also the best thing we can offer our own students if we work in health and well-being. Thank you to our teachers and the whole Ishka Center team, where we always feel welcome."

Instructor Training is a 21-day in-person immersion (300 hours). Teacher Training is 6 months and 500 hours, with RIPEY registration. Both are international certifications that let you teach wherever you want.
It's a 21-day in-person immersion with 10 hours of class per day (210 hours), plus 3 months of free access to online classes and the platform's library once you finish the training — at least 8 hours a week, more than 90 additional hours. On top of that, you get PDF manuals and support materials you can keep studying on your own. Altogether, it adds up to well over the certified 300 hours.
