200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

on Remote Paradise in the Philippines

Led by David Rodrigues Junior

& Pascalle van Haaften

Step into a transformative journey with our 200-hour Hybrid Yoga Teacher Training — blending online learning and a 14-nights in-person immersion on the breathtaking island of Dryft Camp in the Philippines. This training balances flexibility and depth:
  • Online modules cover anatomy and philosophy (meeting Yoga Alliance requirements) so you can study at your own pace and build strong foundations before arrival.
  • In-person immersion is a two-week deep dive into practice, teaching, and community — an unforgettable experience of living yoga by the ocean, surrounded by nature.
By the end of the training, you will graduate as an internationally recognised Yoga Alliance RYT-200 teacher, equipped with tools to share yoga with confidence and authenticity.
