This mountain retreat center offers unmatched seclusion, serenity, and natural beauty, surrounded by lush pine forests and pristine rivers. Our immersive program focuses on fostering a deep connection with nature, exploring the inner self, and discovering your inner teacher.
Our Teacher Training Location at El Convento in the Andalusian National Park offers a truly remote and secluded training experience, enveloped solely by the serene beauty of olive trees, mountains, and endless blue skies. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, this pristine natural setting serves as the cornerstone of our retreat philosophy, providing a sanctuary for guests to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with themselves. Here, amidst the tranquil solitude of nature’s embrace, one can embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner reflection. The remoteness of our centre is not merely a geographical feature but a fundamental element of the transformative experience we offer, allowing individuals to train from the distractions of modern life and delve deep into the core of their being.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for choosing Himalaya Yoga Valley to equip me with the tools I needed to feel confident as a teacher. The course had the perfect balance between all elements of traditional yoga. The teachers were experienced, supportive, and knowledgeable across the board. I felt extremely safe throughout my time at the yoga centre, which was something I felt a little apprehensive about before embarking on my journey.
