The Program
This 50 hour vinyasa teacher training starts at 5pm with a welcome gathering, a grounding practice and dinner on the afternoon of your arrival. Check-in is available from 4 pm.
For the rest of the week each day begins at 7am with a two-hour morning practice blending Vinyasa, Power Yoga, pranayama, somatic movement, meditation, journaling and a proper long Savasana. We offer plenty of options in our classes, ensuring everyone feels supported and challenged at their level.
After brunch, at 10.30am, we come together for inspiring teacher workshops focused on creative sequencing for Vinyasa flow and theming. Expect a blend of inspiring lectures, interactive workshops, and plenty of space for meaningful discussions. You’ll also have time for self-study and reflection.
At 2pm a hearty snack will be served, followed by free time until 3.30pm.
In the afternoons we dive deep into hands-on adjustment training where you’ll learn how to safely and confidently adjust, both by giving and receiving adjustments. You’ll also get valuable feedback from others students as well as teachers.
The day concludes with a grounding practice that blends yin, restorative and myo-fascial release. This introspective session helps you integrate the day’s work and wind down.
Dinner is served at 7.30pm.
This retreat-style teacher training is led by Lisa Andersson Rhodiner and Nazareno Grisolia, co-founders of Inspiro Yoga.

“This teachers immersion was the perfect refresh to take time outside of my regular teaching/business and come home to my own practice. The two hour morning practices were expertly guided, sustainably paced, and left space to tune in with yourself. It was also wonderful to be in the company of other teachers and dedicated practitioners to connect and reflect together. Returning home, I feel re-energized stepping back into my own teaching and practice”.

“The 50 hour La Práctica teacher training with Lisa and Naza was such a beautiful blend of creativity, play and purpose, it helped me fall back in love with my own practice and rediscover the spark to teach again. I left with fresh inspiration, practical tools, and a renewed sense of confidence, especially around sequencing and hands-on assists. So grateful for this experience!

The best way to know if you like our way of teaching is to take our FREE CLASSES. They’re shorter than our classes during this training but you’ll definitely get a feel for who we are and how we teach.
If you’re someone who likes a strong, creative practice, like to try new poses and transitions, like to get challenged on the mat - you’re gonna like it :)
If you’re into a more gentle yoga we’re probably not a good match.
