7 days Beyond Asana - 50hrs Embodied Teacher Training

October 18-24th, 2025

‘’Anyone can teach a class, but it takes a unique skill to create an environment where individuals feel safe to shed their layers and uncover their truths.’’

What it is about

The Embodied Teacher Program is a transformative 50-hour YACEP-certified training by Yoga Alliance designed for yoga teachers seeking to deepen their teaching skills and personal practice.

More than just a course on technique, this immersive experience explores the subtle art of holding space, guiding others with authenticity, and cultivating a profound connection to self.

With an emphasis on embodiment, rooted in the philosophy that “experience is the teacher of all things,” this program enables participants with practical tools, insightful discussions, and practices to guide impactful classes.

What Will You Learn?

This program is both practical and experiential, aiming to embody the teachings and bring them alive in our own practice so we can deliver from a place of experience and lived knowledge.

The Art of Holding Space: Creating a safe and secured environment for students to connect deeper with their practice and themselves.

Embodiment Techniques: Deepening personal practice to teach from a place of authenticity.

The Art of Transmission: Subtle refinements that enhance the teaching experience.

Voice and Presence: Developing vocal projection, tone, rhythm, and ambiance.

Space Holding with Awareness and Presence.

Rewiring the Nervous System: Tools for self-regulation and resilience.

Mind-Body Connection: Exploring the nervous system and the gut-brain connection.

Philosophical Insights: Systems of the Koshas, Chakras, and Kleshas.

Your Teacher

Illona is a free spirit with a passion for the natural flow of life.

Her vocation is to spread love, joy and happiness, with the people through her classes, workshops, retreat and training. She has been guiding classes since December 2016 in Australia, Mauritius, Switzerland, France, Portugal and Italy.

Her goal is to embody unconditional love and radiate this energy towards all individuals.

She is a certified teacher E-RYT since October 2016 and has done additional trainings since then (pre & post natal, Anatomy, Sup Yoga, Nervous System) and has qualifications in positive psychology, integrative nutrition and currently undergoing a bachelor in Traditional Chinese Medicine aiming to offer a fuller spectrum of tools toward self empowerment in all scopes of life.

She has been drawn to yoga from a young age, using this tool to self explore and to better understand her need, her purpose and how to live balanced between the inside out and the outside in.

To this day Illo is still learning the ever growing tools that yoga brings. “It’s much more than a practice, but a way of living!”
