Instructors
Claudia Shankaro
1 Certificate
Show
Claudia grew up in Austria with an international backround and moved to Paris after graduating where she lived and worked in finance, real estate and tourism for many years. Her desire of a life with more meaning, closer to nature, made her leave Paris and settle in beautiful Andalucia. Claudia is a certified 200-hour Yoga Alliance instructor specialized in Vinyasa Yoga and studied with Parisian settled highly acclaimed Tatiana Avila Bouru and Gemma Vassallo. She is also an Integrative Health and Nutrition coach trained by New York based IIN Institute.
Sara Vaz
Sara finished her first studies of 200 hours in Hatha yoga the spring of 2017. After this first step towards becoming a teacher she also went to India for a short while and recently she studied Yin yoga. Right now, Sara works in two different studios in Málaga, Freehome in Pedregalejo and Yoga Centre Flow in the central parts of Málaga, where she is offering classes of Yin and Hatha. Meditation and the power of breath is something that fascinates Sara and last winter she spend 10 days in her first Vipassana course, a type of meditation.
Retreat location
Set admidst the Andalucian mountains, just a few kilometers away from the coast, Sayalonga is a cute, traditional white village where you can find typical local restaurants and some small grocery shopping. It is worth a pleasant 15-minute walk from the lodge (800 meters).
The lodge itself is set on a steep hill, offering breathtaking views and is surrounded by lush fruit plantations.
