ON THIS JOURNEY
Explore and integrate ancient wisdom through a contemporary lens
This teacher training course has been put together as a combination of years of experience in overcoming obstacles, challenges, hardships, internal and external abuses, and existential angst at being within the human experience. This is not a simple journey into teaching yogic postures, shapes, and handstands. This is a voyage into the deep unknown, into the abyss of the hero’s journey. The practices learned here will help with the possible burdens you may be carrying and support you to integrate aspects of yourself that may be causing confusion or disharmony. This training is designed to create spaciousness for your physical, mental, and energetic processes.
Access Hidden Resources & Transformational Pathways
This teacher training course is a synthesis of years spent navigating the complexities of the human experience—embracing obstacles, challenges, and the shadows of existence. It transcends the mere instruction of postures and techniques; it invites you on a profound journey into the depths of the unknown, echoing the archetypal hero’s journey. The practices offered here are designed to illuminate the burdens you carry, fostering integration of fragmented aspects of self that may contribute to confusion or dissonance. This training cultivates a spaciousness that allows for the unfolding of your physical, mental, and energetic dimensions.

Embark on this journey embraced by a circle of kindred spirits, where the collective wisdom of the Sangha nourishes and empowers your soul.

TESTIMONIALS
Echos teaching training was life changing for me in many ways.
Her energy throughout the training was authentic, empowering, and made me believe in myself more.
Echo really has a gift of guiding and encouraging her students to find their own authentic way of being throughout every phase life has to offer.
-Josie (Austria)
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Everything is very professional. Awesome teachers with so much knowledge and ambition. It is quite intensive and a lot of work but everything so interesting. Wonderful friends that I learned so much from and it was magical to see what a beautiful connection can be made through our computer screen. We cried together, danced, laughed, breathed and supported each other through this journey.
I will never forget these 4 months that we spent together and I will be forever grateful.
-Siljah (Iceland)
The training was transformational. The instructors are so cool—down to earth and completely professional. The setup for the training was perfect—we learned basics, then yin, tantra, dharma, trauma-sensitive yoga and non-violent communication all while creating our own practices. We became instructors while also learning how to become lifelong students. I love my sangha so much!!!! We all have developed lifelong friendships—we’ve laughed, cried, struggled, excelled, and grown together.
Through this training, I woke up. I came home to myself in my body. I learned that it is okay to be a human be-ing rather than a human that is always doing. There is so much life in being here, now, in this body. The space that Echo creates is one for growth and love.

If you don't want to "just" learn more about yoga and become another yoga teacher teaching mainly asana but really are ready to dive deep both into the whole science of yoga but also in understanding yourself, your Self, your patterns, your subconscious, your trauma, your connection to other beings and this human experience better, then this training is for you.
When you're ready to show up authentically, with determination to the practice and the study of yoga and yourself, to question yourself and your way of thinking, you'll find plenty of opportunity to learn, grow, connect, transform + transmute here. Know that this journey - for it is one - will not always be smooth and fun but may be painful and terrifying at times as well. It's definitely not gonna be easy, even though it's not gonna be at all about being the perfect student. But if you really seek to reap all of its benefits and hidden gems, choosing and walking the path of this training takes dedication and devotion. Alongside your own journey you‘ll be accompanied by fellow travellers, your sangha, who‘ll hold you accountable, at the same time hold space for you and catch you if you stumble and fall. A beautiful community if you let it be that and show up for your fellow trainees as well. All the time being guided through this YTT experience by Echo, Maria and Evangelos as your experienced, amazing facilitators who despite being so wonderfully different and each so unique, all bring their wonderful gifts to this ride and provide this safe space for you to explore, grow, learn, connect, and shed layers outgrown and will always meet you at eye-level.
Thus, if you truly allow, this training will most likely change you at your core and leave its beautiful imprints on your heart and soul for the rest of your life.

MEET YOUR ASSISTING INSTRUCTORS
Maria Macsay
Following in the path of her mother, Maria stepped into gymnastics, dance, and then, yoga in 2009. Maria came to her mat as a form of cross-training to help her heal a back injury. What started as an interest in just the physical benefits of yoga, quickly shifted as she noticed that she was able to find solace on her mat during a very stressful time in her life.
Maria went on to become accredited to teach through a 200hr Hatha-Vinyasa training and with a 300-hr Advanced Vinyasa training. And later that year she further deepened her offerings by completing a 50-hr Yin Training.
Her aim is to guide and share the power of embodiment - truly embodying the vessels we are in and tapping into the wisdom within to unlock the truth of what wants to be experienced through us with this one life we are born to live. In this training, Maria will contribute breath workshops, meridian-based yin sequences, sultry yin-yang flows, embodied emotion-themed Hatha practices, and an exploration of the mind-body connection.
Meet Maria through this yin flow. Her holistic approach to merging the inner and outer experiences passing through our being on the mat is apparent in this short and sweet practice.
Evangelos Aik
Evangelos began training as a karate athlete and was part of the Greek National team from 1996 to 2002, winning a gold Balkan Championship medal in 2001.

He went on become receive a 200-hour accreditation in Anusara and Hatha yoga as well as a 500-hour accreditation in Yoga Therapy.
He has bolstered his education by completing several additional pieces of training including those on Tantra yoga. animal movement, aerial yoga, and multiple in-depth studies of anatomy and movement-intensive seminars.

In this training, Evangelos will contribute anatomy lectures, kriyas, and workshops focused on arm balances, headstands, and handstands, offering hands-on assists as a teacher, as well as over a decade's worth of valuable insight into the business of yoga.
