Een fantastische ervaring
Alle instructeurs waren gewoon fantastisch.
Verder was de accomodatie heel erg goed en dichtbij de studio en dichtbij het strand, dus heel fijn.
Het eten was ook geweldig, vers, gezond, gevarieerd en heerlijk.
En het strand was ook waanzinnig, we hebben gelukkig ook een aantal keren yoga op het strand kunnen doen.
En de andere deelnemers waren ook super leuk, we hebben het ondeling ook heel gezellig gehad.
En het contact verliep ook heel soepel, alles werd super snel en goed geregeld.

It was better than I expected. Wonderful energy+people!
I really enjoyed the schedule, though initially was challenging it has provided a great routine. The teachers have been over the top and have given me many aha moments. They bring the spiritually from the east to the west in an organic way, creating an environment of love, learning and sisterhood. Moreover, the god, accommodation and the location near praia da rocha round up the experience.

December kado
De veelzijdigheid van lessen, oefeningen en ervaringen zorgden elke dag voor een kleine of grote innerlijke wereldreis.
Hoe fijn ook om zo dicht bij of in de zee te zijn
De maaltijden bij Super Juice waren smaakvol, gezond en gezellig .
Het apartement ruim en netjes en de kleine wandeling naar shala was verkwikkend in de ochtend en landend in de middag

The studio, the staff, the food, the beach were absolutely amazing. They were all so helpful and willing to share knowledge and support the students. If you are thinking of taking a YTT course….do I! I was also fortunate because we had a fantastic mix of students in our group and overall it was a great experience.

Soul Nourishing, Thought Provoking, Transformational
In an ideal world, I would have chosen my first 200 hours yoga teacher training in yin or restorative yoga, but having researched the market in Portugal, I opted for Bend it Like Buddha's 200 hours Ashtanga & Vinyasa, and Ayurvedic Massage because the timing coincided with my plans, and because I felt I needed to step outside of my comfort zone and really challenge the yogi within me.
What I found was that the emphasis on the philosophy and ethics of yoga was much broader than most other offerings. I also learnt a great deal about myself through the amazing meditation and asana practices.
Being in the Algarve, one of my favourite places in Portugal, changed my direction, my beliefs, and my view of the world. Learning to be a yoga teacher left me with a heightened respect for the universe. I am so grateful to have found Farrah, Danni, and Tori, each with their own style of teaching, which has left a profound impact.
The Flor da Rocha apartment, which I shared with one other student, was comfortable, spacious and clean, and I made full use of the spa facilities on site.
The food was in line with the yogic teachings of kindness to oneself and my surroundings, tasty and nourishing. Though, I did need snacks at times.
The people and the training made me feel free and comfortable to express and nurture myself. I am grateful to have had this life-changing experience.
Since returning home, I have maintained my meditation and yoga practice with renewed clarity.
