Imagine staying in eco-friendly cabanas, surrounded by swaying palm trees and the soft sounds of nature. Time slows down, offering a peaceful escape where the soul can truly rest. Overlooking a pristine private beach, the resort offers everything you need for renewal: lush nature, a serene yoga shala, tranquil spots at the beach, and a restaurant that delights the senses with thoughtfully crafted vegan and gluten-free meals. With unspoiled landscapes, this sanctuary offers you the ultimate gift—seclusion, serenity, and a deep connection with nature.

Marco

E-RYT500 Yoga Teacher, Philosopher & Musician

He is a graduate philosopher, passionate musician, and experienced German journalist. After completing his first Yoga Teacher Training in India, he immediately began teaching at the Berlin-based school “Yoga on the Move.” Marco is the Co-founder of Ancestral Retreats & Academy.

As a Yoga Alliance-certified teacher (E-RYT 500) specializing in Hatha Kundalini and Vinyasa yoga, he has completed four training programs in India, Italy, and Colombia, accumulating over 1,000 hours of training. In his yoga classes, every movement is synchronized with the breath, guiding students into a deep-flow meditation or helping them find steadiness and ease in each posture. His teaching aims to motivate beginners, challenge advanced practitioners with postures and powerful breathing techniques, and enrich every session with the timeless wisdom of yoga.

With a passion for philosophy, he designs his courses as holistic journeys for the body, mind, and soul. As an experienced musician, he enhances the experience by sharing mantras and medicine music through vocals, guitar, and harmonium.

Our Yoga Teacher Training is more than just an educational program—it’s a transformational journey. Rooted in ancient wisdom and designed for modern seekers, this immersive experience weaves together the physical, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of yoga.

Our approach is deeply holistic: you will not only build a strong foundation in asana, pranayama, and yogic philosophy, but also cultivate emotional resilience, inner awareness, and leadership from the heart. This path can be beautifully intense—true healing and self-realization often bring emotional challenges. We honor this process and guide you through it with compassion, presence, and integrity.

We keep our group small and personal, allowing space for authentic exchange, deep connection, and learning at eye level. This training is a sacred container where practice becomes prayer, and teaching arises from embodied experience.

You’ll graduate with the tools to teach complete classes for students of all levels, but more importantly, you’ll step into your own voice as a conscious guide—anchored in daily practice and aligned with your truth.

To support integration, we offer 1.5 days of free time each week, giving you space to rest, reflect, and explore at your own rhythm. Because growth requires both discipline and pause.

This is not just a training. It’s a return to your root. A journey inward. And an invitation to rise as a community.
