Nuestro Curso de yoga de 5 días centrado en la alineación se imparte solo en la playa de Arambol, en Goa, desde 150 USD solo curso (o 250 USD con comidas y alojamiento), en convocatorias de fechas fijas entre noviembre de 2026 y marzo de 2027. Con bloques, cinturones, bolsters, sillas y cuerdas de pared, cada día toma una región del cuerpo: piernas, columna, hombros, inversiones con apoyo y, al final, una práctica completa. Va bien a cuerpos rígidos y a quien empieza. ¿Quieres más tiempo? El Curso intensivo de yoga de alineación de 9 días aplica el mismo método durante nueve días.
Alpesh Yoga, fundada por Alpesh Patwari en 2014 · Última actualización
Aprende los fundamentos del yoga basado en la alineación en nuestro curso concentrado de 5 días. Está pensado para quien quiere mejorar la postura, la precisión, la estabilidad y la conciencia del propio cuerpo, y gira alrededor de la alineación correcta, los ajustes seguros y el movimiento consciente. Las clases cubren la alineación de cada postura, los ajustes, las cuestiones de seguridad y el arte de usar los soportes y secuenciar una clase; la opción con alojamiento incluye comidas vegetarianas diarias, desayuno, café y té. Cada uno de los cinco días toma una región del cuerpo y la trabaja como es debido: primero los pies y las piernas, luego la pelvis y la columna, luego los hombros, luego las inversiones con apoyo y, por último, una práctica entera en la que todo tiene que sostenerse a la vez. Bloques, cinturones, bolsters, sillas y las cuerdas de pared de la sala están en uso desde la primera mañana, y no se sacan al final para quien no llega al suelo. Junto a su hermano mayor, el Curso intensivo de yoga de alineación de 9 días, es el programa con más técnica por día de todos los que hacemos, y se imparte en nuestra sede de Arambol en convocatorias de fechas fijas entre noviembre de 2026 y marzo de 2027.
Alineación corporal correcta
Entender cómo deben colocarse la postura y la alineación en cada asana para que tu práctica sea segura y eficaz.
Uso de soportes
Aprender a usar bloques, cinturones, bolsters, sillas y demás soportes para ganar flexibilidad y sostén.
Ajustes seguros
Desarrollar ojo para los errores frecuentes, la prevención de lesiones y la corrección adecuada en cada postura.
Respiración y concentración
Integrar la respiración con el movimiento para mejorar la concentración y la conciencia corporal.
¿Eres tú?
Para quién es este programa
Llevas años yendo a clases de flow y nadie te ha dicho nunca qué se supone que tiene que hacer tu pierna de atrás.
Eres de cuerpo rígido, y todas las clases a las que vas parecen diseñadas para gente que no lo es. Los soportes son la respuesta a eso, y aquí están sobre la esterilla desde la primera mañana.
Tienes una molestia —un hombro, la zona lumbar, una rodilla— que se enciende en clase, y quieres saber qué hábito de alineación la está causando.
Estás a punto de empezar una formación de profesores y prefieres llegar con los fundamentos limpios a gastar la primera semana desaprendiendo cosas.
Ya das clase, y tu ojo para la alineación es la parte de tu enseñanza que menos clara tienes.
Quieres un curso corto con una playa a cinco minutos, pero quieres que el curso sea el sentido de la semana.
Con qué te vas
Estar de pie, flexionar, girar y extenderte con el principio de alineación detrás de cada forma, de modo que te corrijas tú en lugar de esperar a que te corrijan
Elegir el soporte adecuado por el motivo adecuado —bloque, cinturón, bolster, silla o pared— en vez de coger lo que tengas más cerca
Adaptar cualquier postura básica a tus propias proporciones y límites, en un día bueno y en uno rígido
Practicar en casa con seguridad y sin compañía, incluidas las posturas que casi todo el mundo hace mal en silencio cuando nadie mira
Subir y bajar de una inversión con apoyo sin cargar el cuello, y saber cuándo directamente no subir
Sentarte en cualquier clase, en cualquier parte, y darte cuenta de lo que el profesor no está diciendo sobre alineación
El viaje
Día a día
Día 1
Fundamentos: pies, tobillos y piernas
Donde empieza de verdad la alineación. Tadasana en serio, los arcos y los tobillos y, después, las posturas de pie que dependen de ellos —triángulo, guerrero II, ángulo lateral— con bloque y cinturón, para que la forma sea correcta antes de ser profunda.
Día 2
La pelvis y la columna
Pelvis neutra, qué le hacen a la zona lumbar la retroversión y la anteversión, y cómo se traduce eso en flexiones, zancadas y torsiones. Bolster y silla como apoyo, para que la columna se alargue en lugar de redondearse. Es el día en el que la mayoría de las molestias lumbares encuentran su origen.
Día 3
Hombros, brazos y espalda alta
Mecánica del hombro en el perro boca abajo, la plancha, chaturanga y el trabajo por encima de la cabeza: justo las posturas que causan en silencio la mayoría de los problemas de hombro. Trabajo de cinturón sobre los brazos, trabajo en la pared y la diferencia entre abrir un pecho y machacar una zona lumbar.
Día 4
Inversiones y extensiones con apoyo
Sarvangasana con apoyo, halasana y piernas en la pared con sillas y bolsters, más extensiones sobre bolster. Se enseña con las contraindicaciones dichas en voz alta: lesión cervical, tensión alta, embarazo, menstruación.
Día 5
Todo junto: una práctica completa
Una práctica entera y secuenciada con todo lo de los cuatro días anteriores, en buena parte guiada por ti mientras los profesores recorren la sala corrigiendo. Después, una sesión sobre cómo construir una práctica en casa que de verdad vayas a hacer, y un círculo de cierre.
Cinco días, cinco regiones del cuerpo, cada una con sus principios de alineación, su trabajo con soportes y sus errores característicos. Es la mitad técnica del temario de nuestras formaciones de profesores enseñada por separado: sin examen de anatomía, sin metodología de enseñanza y sin evaluación final.

It was all I needed: two different kinds of asana practices that complemented each other, plus pranayama and yoga theory. It was all really well explained! Moreover, I felt at home!
Aprendes en una escuela registrada en Yoga Alliance: el mismo estándar acreditado que respalda nuestras formaciones de profesores reconocidas internacionalmente.
Sabiduría yóguica tradicional
Hatha con alineación auténtico, Hatha Vinyasa Flow, pranayama, meditación y filosofía, enseñados desde la tradición yóguica y no desde el enfoque del yoga de gimnasio.
Profesores con experiencia
Aprendes con profesores de yoga con años de experiencia, que te acompañan y te corrigen de forma personal durante todo el retiro.
Una comunidad internacional
Te sumas a un grupo diverso de alumnos de todo el mundo, que practican juntos en un grupo pequeño y se sostienen entre ellos.
De 5 días a 300 horas
Empieza con un retiro corto y continúa más adelante con una formación completa de 100, 200 o 300 horas, en cualquiera de las dos sedes: la misma enseñanza, distintas profundidades.
Dos destinos preciosos donde aprender
Practica en la calma de la playa de Arambol, en Goa, o de Bhagsu, en Dharamshala: entornos pensados para la concentración, la recuperación y el crecimiento personal.
Alpesh Patwari
Fundador y profesor principal · más de 22 años
Profesor registrado en Yoga Alliance
Fundador y profesor principal de Alpesh Yoga, y uno de los profesores de yoga centrado en la alineación con más experiencia. Alpesh lleva 21 años enseñando alineación: posturas precisas, soportes y ajustes manuales que hacen que cada postura sea segura para cualquier cuerpo.
En comparación con nuestros otros programas cortos
El técnico. Con su hermano mayor, el Curso intensivo de yoga de alineación de 9 días, es uno de los dos únicos programas que le dan un día propio a cada región del cuerpo. El Retiro intensivo de 50 horas mete la alineación dentro de un horario más amplio de flow, filosofía y meditación, con unas ocho horas guiadas al día; la Inmersión de 5 días en yoga y meditación se va justo al lado contrario, a respirar y sentarse. Ven aquí si lo que quieres arreglar es cómo te pones de pie, cómo flexionas y cómo giras, y tienes una semana. Los dos cursos de alineación se imparten solo en Goa; el de 9 días añade los equilibrios de pie, las caderas, las torsiones y las extensiones hacia atrás como días propios, para cuando cinco días se quedan cortos.
En comparación con nuestros otros programas cortos
¿Prefieres directamente la formación de profesores?
Una formación de 200 horas reparte estos mismos principios de alineación a lo largo de tres semanas y los rodea de anatomía, filosofía, metodología de enseñanza, práctica docente y una evaluación. Este curso extrae la técnica y la enseña sola durante cinco días, lo que lo convierte en dos cosas útiles a la vez: un curso corto y afilado para quien practica sin intención de enseñar, y la mejor preparación disponible para quien está a punto de empezar una formación y no quiere gastar la primera semana desaprendiendo hábitos.
Habitaciones sencillas y cómodas a pocos minutos a pie de la sala, con tres comidas vegetarianas caseras al día. En las dos sedes hay opción de habitación compartida o individual.
I took the 8-day alignment with Alpesh, which was an amazing experience. As a beginner, the course was challenging, and I learned so much about the practice of yoga. I had been in a 30-day retreat prior to this course, and I learned much more here in 8 days with Alpesh than in the entirety of the 30 days.
If you really want to learn how to do all the asanas properly, enjoy all the benefits of each one, and then teach asanas properly to your students, this is your place. I took the 9-day intensive alignment course and then continued going for drop-in. I can see how my practice has improved.
I recently completed a yoga program at Alpesh Yoga School, and I am genuinely impressed with the transformative experience it provided. Alpesh is knowledgeable, patient, and creates a welcoming atmosphere for practitioners of all levels.
“Yoga from the heart.” Travelled from Denmark specifically for a 10-day retreat: “developed me more in 10 days than any other yoga teacher… definitely the best yoga instructor in Dharamsala.”
Came here as a complete beginner of yoga to do the 200h TTC. The amount of improvement I felt over this short time was really incredible to be honest. I learned a lot and the atmosphere here is just very welcoming and supportive, like a little family.
I’ve just completed my 200-hour TTC with Alpesh, and the experience was truly transformative. Alpesh’s teaching is one of a kind—deeply foundational and refreshingly authentic. The consistent emphasis on alignment and muscle activation, day in and day out, rather than rushing into Instagrammable poses, is nothing short of revolutionary.
"Leave your shoes and ego outside the shala".
Alpesh’s "serious" tone and almost obsessive cues during class hide a big-hearted human being who is deeply attentive to everyone’s individual needs.
Weeks after the course, you’ll still hear his cues echoing in your mind—“kneecaps up” and “hip squeeze”—and that’s a very good sign 😊. The training is thoughtfully structured, and the two additional teachers Maithily and Rashmi are equally knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely wonderful human beings.
I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of yoga—not just asana practice, but yoga as a holistic system—using the body and breath as tools to explore far more than physical movement.
BONUS point: the food. Fresh, made from scratch every day with so much love and care. I’m still dreaming about the coriander chutney, masala dosa, and endless rivers of masala chai. I have never felt so blessed.
Alpesh is simply the best! If you’re in India, he is the number one address for authentic and highly knowledgeable yoga classes. I miss this place and all the people so much and hope to come back asap. All the best, Alpesh 🫶🏽
I had the best time. The yoga was truly special, the philosophy classes were inspiring and thoughtfully led. There is much to learn.
What made it truly unique was the atmosphere—it felt like being part of a family.
I recently completed my ttc and am so happy i chose Alpeshyoga school. I was welcomed like in a family.
The teachers are fantastic, the morning classes with Alpesh are the best i've ever taken. He manages to convey his deep understanding of alignments with extreme precision and passion. Maithily, the theory teacher, with her incredible knowledge and culture, was able to explain her lessons with extreme clarity, always making the class enjoyable and engaging. And finally, Rashmi, with her empathy and depth of soul... Made the evening practices a unique experience that i recommend to everyone. And the food prepared with love by two very sweet ladies... Amazing!
For me, they were not just teachers but also true friends...
This experience has brought profound changes to me.
I thank them all and hope to join them soon for another journey together🙏
Alpesh thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have an amazing alignment course with this school! The other teachers and the food is incredible as well. I recommend this place for anyone who is searching to learn something and more about yoga ❤️
It’s difficult to explain how I felt during the 5 day course I did in Alpesh Yoga.
But in a few words, it was all what I need. Two different kind of asana practices which complemented each other, plus pranayama and yoga theory. All really well explained!
Moreover I felt like home! All the teachers were welcoming, and all of the know what they were talking about. They were open-minded and they listenend to me when I had questions (I had a lot) even I considered them silly!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Alpesh is a very good yoga teacher. Although I have been a yoga teacher who has been practicing yoga regularly for years, I have experienced great expansions both physically and spiritually. He holds space very well, knows the body very well and works it like an architect day by day, and he is also very cute. I want to attend his classes again next year for at least 2 months. Alpesh Yoga is the meeting point for yogis and yoginis of all ages from different cultures🪷 Thank you Alpesh

I had been in a 30 day retreat prior to this course and I learned much more here in 8 days with Alpesh than in the entirety of the 30 days. Alpesh and the other students in the program were also a joy to be around and felt like family. Alpesh even helped me book my train ticket to Mumbai and make sure I got to my destination safely as a first time traveler in India. Would love to take future courses with Alpesh.
I am happy that I chose to study with Alpesh. The teacher training course was professional and experiential. I am already looking forward to returning for further training.

Beautiful place and beautiful people, teachers with great knowledge and passion, alpesh yoga is a great place to gain experience, practice under the supervision of great teachers and wonderful people, from all over the world. I recommend it with all my heart 🌼
I first met Alpesh in March last year while traveling through India. I attended a drop-in class and ended up staying for five days. Eventually, I continued my travels, attending yoga classes wherever I went—but none of them ever felt the same as with him.
For months, our schedules didn’t align for a Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), but finally, in December, I had the opportunity to attend his course. It was one of the best decisions I made. Alpesh is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced teacher who truly understands each student’s individual needs. He pushes you beyond what you think you’re capable of while always ensuring that your practice is safe and aligned. As someone with back issues I deeply appreciated his ability to modify asanas for me, making yoga more accessible while still challenging.
If you’re looking for a teacher who will challenge you, support you, and help you grow—not just in asanas but in understanding yoga at a deeper level—I highly recommend learning from Alpesh and his team.
This was the highlight if my year this year. At first i was kind of frustrated because it wasn’t like the studio we used to see in social media. But being here was a transformation i never expected, alpesh is a good teacher, he can be strict but for me its how it should be, a teacher should always push his students to their limits to learn. I enjoyed my time here and i wished i could’ve stayed longer❤️

Thank you, Alpesh, for your wonderful energy, your sense of humor, and your intense classes with excellent corrections. I've admired how you've worked with each of us, despite our different languages and levels. Excellent teacher! Thanks to you, I've returned to yoga and I hope to come back next year.
I’m so happy I completed my TTC with Alpesh. He’s an amazing teacher and practitioner whose classes are simply the best I’ve ever attended, on any continent.
During the course, I sometimes asked myself if it was easy or difficult, and while the difficult aspect was there, it was purely physical. Learning from Alpesh and Rashmi about yoga was a privilege, and every minute at the school was so precious. The truth is, once you’re there, you feel at home and simply don’t want to leave :)
I miss the school so much already, and I feel so, so grateful for the time there! ❤️
I was incredibly lucky to be the only one in my 100-hour TTC course and received exceptional support. The yoga classes were excellent, and all the teachers were very friendly. Alpesh took me under his wing, and I experienced everything as relaxed and very welcoming. I'm grateful for this wonderful experience at Alpesh Yoga and would book there again in a heartbeat.
I recently completed my yoga training with Alpesh Yoga Goa and had a great experience. It really felt like home. Alpesh is a wonderful teacher — a perfect mix of strict and soft — and his teaching is clear, knowledgeable, and straight to the point. The food was also delicious and very nourishing. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and well-structured yoga experience in Goa.
Alpesh is a very experienced and talented yoga teacher. I have been visiting Arambol for many winter holidays and attend Alpesh classes to improve and strengthen my yoga practice. The classes are very focused, alignment is key to get flow. After three weeks I leave much stronger with much improved posture (sternum up, shoulders back, courage). In Alpesh classes I have become good at headstands and other yoga poses I thought were outside of my reach. Its important for me to Listen to learn and I make an effort. (Mostly;) Alpesh yoga studio attracts good interesting people who are fun and supportive. A great environment to learn, grow, connect and have fun.
Thank you Alpesh yoga school. I love the studio and energy. Sean London
I have gone to many of Alpesh’s drop in sessions, and decided to do the 5 day alignment course with him! I couldn’t recommend his yoga school enough - he is the best yoga teacher I found throughout India. He is so knowledgeable, firm but very kind and focuses on precise adjustments that change the whole pose. He has taught me so much about yoga, especially all the details you miss out on if you are just practicing in the West! I will be back whenever I am in Goa/Dharamshala - thank you Alpesh!
Fantastic teacher. Gave me (a novice) confidence to try all moves in the class. All yoga moves were carefully observed and adapted to the experience and ability of each participant. Will definitely be back next time I am in Arambol
Completing the 200hr yoga teacher training course has been a dream of mine for quite a few years now and being able to come to India for this reason was so important. But just as important was finding the right school. I knew I wanted to find a place near the beach which led me onto searching around Goa. When I came across Alpesh Yoga I really felt like this was the place I was meant to complete the course. Their website/instagram and other social media have lots to explore and you can really get a feel for what Alpesh has created at his yoga school. I really appreciated the abundant information and prompt communication from Alpesh when inquiring into what course would be best for me.
Once I arrived in Goa, all of the teachers welcomed the students with an opening ceremony in the morning before we started our first class. I felt at home right away. My days during the 200 hour teacher training course were really well structured with a good balance between time in the classroom and time on the mat and the food was absolutely delicious. All 3 of my teachers brought with them so much insight and knowledge and were able to deliver it to us effectively with clear communication. I really enjoyed Alpesh's style of teaching, where he is direct and clear with his instructions, involves everyone in the class and gives a profound insight into the benefits of each Asana. All 3 teachers brought their own unique perspectives and helped guide me deeper into my own practice whilst also learning how to guide students myself. I was also lucky enough to share this experience with the other students.
Being a stones throw away from the beach allowed me to really enjoy my free/study time each week, with lots of little villages and towns around Arambol to explore too. I really felt like I found the most amazing place to complete my course and I am grateful to have been led to Alpesh yoga.
Thank you for everything Alpesh, I hope to return next season 🙏🏻
Best place to practise yoga - well structured classes with high experienced teacher; great atmosphere, I would definitely come back to Alpesh’s yoga place in Arambol
I’ve been practicing yoga for five years and I improved more in one month here than in all my previous practice.
Alpesh is a dedicated and truly excellent teacher. The Shala is welcoming and the people are serious practitioners.
Loved practicing here for more than a month, and I’m coming back next season for the TTC for sure. 10/10 recommend 🙏🏼
Attending Alpesh’s yoga classes is not only highly informative and inspiring but also a lot of fun! Practicing yoga with a true master is a great privilege! Do not miss this opportunity if you’re in Arambol.
I enjoyed my time at alpesh's school a lot and learned so much. As I came as a beginner I wouldn't feel comfortable teaching after the ytt but I have a learned a lot about my body and feel much better even weeks after coming home. Thanks alpesh- you are a hero!
I have been doing yoga in many places around the world and around india, and this one might be the best place I've tried. The teachers are very professional. Overall an amazing place if you look for a yoga place in Arambol definitely try this one
Thank you, Alpesh, for your wonderful energy, your sense of humor, and your intense classes with excellent corrections.

I really appreciated the abundant information and prompt communication from Alpesh when inquiring into what course would be best for me.
Once I arrived in Goa, all of the teachers welcomed the students with an opening ceremony in the morning before we started our first class. I felt at home right away. My days during the 200 hour teacher training course were really well structured with a good balance between time in the classroom and time on the mat and the food was absolutely delicious. All 3 of my teachers brought with them so much insight and knowledge and were able to deliver it to us effectively with clear communication. I really enjoyed Alpesh's style of teaching, where he is direct and clear with his instructions, involves everyone in the class and gives a profound insight into the benefits of each Asana. All 3 teachers brought their own unique perspectives and helped guide me deeper into my own practice whilst also learning how to guide students myself. I was also lucky enough to share this experience with the other students.
Being a stones throw away from the beach allowed me to really enjoy my free/study time each week, with lots of little villages and towns around Arambol to explore too. I really felt like I found the most amazing place to complete my course and I am grateful to have been led to Alpesh yoga.
Thank you for everything Alpesh, I hope to return next season 🙏🏻
Best place to practise yoga - well structured classes with high experienced teacher; great atmosphere, I would definitely come back to Alpesh’s yoga place in Arambol
I’ve been practicing yoga for five years and I improved more in one month here than in all my previous practice.
Alpesh is a dedicated and truly excellent teacher. The Shala is welcoming and the people are serious practitioners.
Loved practicing here for more than a month, and I’m coming back next season for the TTC for sure. 10/10 recommend 🙏🏼
Attending Alpesh’s yoga classes is not only highly informative and inspiring but also a lot of fun! Practicing yoga with a true master is a great privilege! Do not miss this opportunity if you’re in Arambol.
I enjoyed my time at alpesh's school a lot and learned so much. As I came as a beginner I wouldn't feel comfortable teaching after the ytt but I have a learned a lot about my body and feel much better even weeks after coming home. Thanks alpesh- you are a hero!
I have been doing yoga in many places around the world and around india, and this one might be the best place I've tried. The teachers are very professional. Overall an amazing place if you look for a yoga place in Arambol definitely try this one
En una de las convocatorias de fechas fijas entre el 9 de noviembre de 2026 y el 21 de marzo de 2027: la lista completa está en la tabla de fechas de esta página, incluida una convocatoria en Navidad, del 23 al 27 de diciembre. Elige tu convocatoria al reservar y te confirmamos la plaza en 24 horas.
Un enfoque preciso y de mirada terapéutica que pone por delante la alineación cuidadosa, la seguridad y el uso de soportes para que cada postura tenga integridad. El fundador, Alpesh Patwari, se forma en esta tradición con Usha Devi en Rishikesh desde 2006.
Sin duda: los soportes existen precisamente para que cualquier cuerpo encuentre una alineación segura y correcta. Si la flexibilidad te ha estado frenando, este curso es una de las mejores puertas de entrada al yoga.
De noviembre a marzo, en convocatorias de fechas fijas en la sala de Arambol: esta temporada, del 9 de noviembre de 2026 al 21 de marzo de 2027, con las fechas en esta misma página. De mayo a septiembre nuestra enseñanza se traslada a Bhagsu, Dharamshala. Este curso en concreto es solo de Goa, así que si viajas entre mayo y septiembre, pregúntanos por el Retiro intensivo de yoga de 50 horas o por la Inmersión de 5 días en yoga y meditación en la montaña.
El mismo método, los mismos soportes y la misma sala. Cinco días cubren los fundamentos —piernas, pelvis y columna, hombros y una inversión con apoyo— y terminan con una práctica completa. El Curso intensivo de yoga de alineación de 9 días lleva todo eso más lejos y añade los equilibrios de pie, las caderas, las torsiones y las extensiones hacia atrás como días propios, una jornada más ligera a mitad de camino y tiempo para construir una secuencia para tu cuerpo. Elige cinco días para dejar los fundamentos limpios en una semana; elige nueve para trabajar el cuerpo entero como es debido.
En Navidad, sí: una convocatoria va del 23 al 27 de diciembre en la sala de Arambol. Si quieres seguir practicando hasta Nochevieja, el Curso intensivo de yoga de alineación de 9 días tiene una convocatoria del 23 al 31 de diciembre.
Unas cinco horas guiadas repartidas en cuatro bloques: la práctica de la mañana, una sesión teórica al mediodía sobre ajustes, seguridad y secuenciación, trabajo aplicado con soportes a última hora de la tarde y una sesión corta de respiración y práctica restaurativa antes de cenar. Las primeras horas del día y el centro de la tarde son tuyos, y la playa de Arambol está a unos minutos.
Quien busque una semana de sudor y de flow continuo: esto es trabajo lento y preciso, con muchas paradas para mirar qué está haciendo una articulación. Cuéntanos lesiones, embarazo, tensión alta, problemas cervicales o cirugías recientes en la reserva: el día de las inversiones en particular se adapta o se sustituye en esos casos, y preferimos planearlo antes de que llegues y no esa misma mañana.
Solo ropa cómoda de práctica, una botella de agua y un cuaderno. Todo el material —esterillas, bloques, cinturones, bolsters y sillas— está en la sala, y te llevas además una guía de consulta que se queda contigo.
Es una de las mejores maneras de pasar la semana anterior. No se convalida nada de cara a nuestra formación de profesores de yoga de 100 horas en Goa, centrada en la alineación, ni a un curso de 200 horas, pero llegas con los fundamentos limpios, que es la diferencia entre pasar tu primera semana de formación aprendiendo y pasarla desaprendiendo. Si las fechas encajan, puedes reservar los dos seguidos.
Es poco probable. Casi todo el mundo llega por su cuenta a los cursos cortos, el grupo es lo bastante pequeño como para que al segundo día ya se conozcan todos, y la opción con alojamiento te deja a unas puertas del resto del curso. Las parejas y los grupos de amigos pueden compartir habitación en ese tramo: menciónalo al reservar.
