What to expect from this teacher training?

Karol and Satya met in India in 2019, since then they have been following and praising each other's journey on Yoga practice and teaching. In 2022 they decided to join forces to create a 200hr Teacher Training in Portugal that would combine both of their approaches. On one side Satya, from India living and directing his own Yoga school in Rishikesh (the world capital of Yoga). Satya teaches traditional Hatha Yoga, Pranayama and Yoga Alignment. He's also plays the harmonica and is an enthusiastic Kirtan singer.

On the other side, Karol originally from Brazil but since five years residing in Portugal, teaching yoga, running and directing her own Yoga & Personal Development retreats in Europe and around the world since 2017. Karol teaches the art of creative and intuitive Vinyasa Flow, Pranyama and Yoga Alignment. Karol also has a Bachelor in International Business at Griffith University of Australia, a Diploma in Neurolinguistics (NLP) studies and is continuously studying and researching about the human subconscious mind. She's also an enthusiastic vegan food chef, a passionate surfer, world traveller and nature lover.

The theme of this YTTC (Yoga Teacher Training Course) is exactly what it says, the ancient knowledge and traditional approach of the East meets the science and modern knowledge of the West. The perfect union of East and West, bringing on a varied knowledge and a balanced approach to teaching.

Testimonials

Main Teacher

Karol De Souza journey in holistic therapies started very early in life, from about the age of eight her father taught her different breathing and meditation techniques, spoke about things like dealing with negative emotions, awareness and being in the present; all in a very fun and relatable way for a child.

At the age of sixteen (2004) Karol started her Yoga practice in her hometown. Later on Karol has moved to Australia to get her Bachelor University Degree in International Business and a few years later she decided to quit her work and follow her passion for Yoga. Karol has visited India twice for long seasons to study Hatha, Vinyasa, Yoga Therapy and Meditation. But she didn't stop there, her curiosity for all things related to spirituality and the human subconscious mind took her to study Neurolinguistics Programming (NLP) and more recently she's been dedicating herself to studying other tools for self awareness and personal development.

After years travelling and teaching around the world Karol has settled in a small coastal town in Portugal where the teacher training will take place.

Satya is an amazing teacher! I really enjoyed his Asana and Pranayama Yoga classes and would highly recommend to all. He is very knowledgeable and holds space beautifully and is super attentive to everyone in the teacher training, I felt seen and supported throughout my practice. I look forward to attending your class again, thank you Satya!

Satyanarayan Jha is the founder of Satya Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh, India and an enthusiastic teacher of traditional Hatha Yoga.

At an early age, Satya moved to Rishikesh to pursue his life of Yoga. He discovered many opportunities to learn and grow into this vast field of knowledge. Satya came to know many of yoga disciplines such as ashtanga, vinyasa and hatha, but deep inside he had always been searching for the reality of life and its mysteries.

Apart from having a natural flair for science of life and its mysteries, Satya has completed his YTTC 200 in Rishikesh to document his credentials in Yoga Teaching and has additionally completed a Diploma in Yoga at Maharsi Mahesh Yogi Vedic University, M.P, India.

As he grew into his knowledge and experience, he taught Yoga at many Yoga schools in Rishikesh. He still teaches in Rishikesh and his classes are loved by people from all age groups. In the year 2018, he got to chance visit Europe where he conducted several Yoga Teaching Trainings which brought to him international experience, acclaim and excellence. He is naturally gifted in Hatha Yoga and his experience is growing deeper in other branches of Yoga for his well- being as an individual and as a Yoga Teacher.

“Yoga is a key which opens up the inner door, once the door is open you receive unlimited knowledge lying within you.”

Guest Teacher

Emilie Sabbe journey into the world of yoga started at the young age. Her mum, a former yoga teacher herself, taught her about the importance of a healthy relationship between physical and mental well-being. They would spent a lot of hours on the yoga mat together, which only increased Emilie's interest in the fascinating world of yoga.

The many challenging postures also whetted her interest in the human body, which led her to a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy. This degree has increased her knowledge of anatomical structures, movement patterns and understanding of the human body. Which is a great asset when teaching and building up yoga classes correctly. The two-years teacher training in Critical Alignement also opened up a whole new world of interesting insights to Emilie.

Emilie already currently hosts Yoga Retreat Immersions with Karol in Portugal, in the same place where the training will take place. But when not teaching in Portugal, you can find Emilie teaching and directing her own yoga studio Yoga Nirmla in the heart of Bruges, Belgium.

"Karol's lessons are truly a nutrition to the body and soul, she is able to read the class's vibe and offer exactly what the students need and I always leave the lessons feeling reinvigorated, jolly and with a quiet mind... Her deep knowledge and care are felt throughout her teachings."
