Yoga Teacher Training 200h & 300h
Immerse yourself in the techniques and philosophy of yoga.
The essence of the training
We're Judith and Mireia, and we're truly excited to share this training with you. We've been devoted to practising and teaching yoga for over twenty years, and the training is where we pour all our experience and personal practice, while continuing to learn from every person who joins us. For us, yoga is a way of looking at ourselves, loving ourselves and inhabiting the world with more presence.
The training comes from a place of great care, built with love, rigour and professionalism. The content is structured around the values of yoga, and each month we suggest concrete ways to apply them in daily life, not out of obligation or a sense of “moral duty”, but through play, curiosity and enthusiasm.
Our approach aims to be open and flexible: we seek to broaden our perspective, both of the world and of ourselves. Our wish is for each person to find their own path and unfold all their qualities.
This is one of those trainings that mark a before and an after. Because it unfolds over several months, with monthly residential gatherings where we live together and grow so close we end up feeling like family, it creates a space that touches very deeply.
We feel very grateful to be able to share this experience with you. Welcome to this journey!
The format
Two gatherings a month throughout the course: one residential weekend and one Saturday morning.
Residential
1 residential weekend a month, from Friday at 6:30 pm to Sunday at 4 pm. Accommodation and meals at Can Bordoi, Llinars del Vallès, are included.
1 Saturday morning a month, from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, with morning practice and theory classes (this session can also be joined online).
200H & 300H
If you want to train for your own personal growth, the 200 hours are ideal. If you want to become a teacher, after the 200 hours you can continue with the following 300 hours and earn a 500-hour certification.
The compulsory teaching practice is included in the 500 hours and always takes place with both lead teachers present.
Certification
You'll receive the Omshanti yoga centre's official 200-hour and 300-hour training certificates. With these you can apply for the Generalitat de Catalunya's official registration, the ROPEC.
Vinyasa Hatha Yoga
We combine Vinyasa Yoga with Hatha. In Vinyasa, movement is linked to the breath, flowing between postures and creating dynamism; it's like a moving meditation that also builds strength. Sessions end in the Hatha yoga style, more static and meditative, where postures are held a little longer. It's a balancing style that brings both movement and calm.
After the asana practice we integrate it with long relaxations and pranayama techniques that help us find a meditative state. At the end of each session we chant mantras, which help create an inner alignment.
The practices encourage a process of self-knowledge through self-observation and self-acceptance, with the aim of gaining inner coherence, cultivating self-esteem and living with more freedom.
Throughout the course we also bring in dance, mobilisations and self-inquiry practices from integral yoga.
The 4 pillars
Technique
This training stands out for its commitment to understanding and fully integrating each technique and concept. Starting from the basics and progressing naturally, we build solid foundations that allow the group to reach more advanced, transformative practices.
In asana work, we study the key postures and their variations, and deepen technique and alignment through monthly hands-on workshops. We take the same detailed, mindful approach to pranayama, philosophy and self-knowledge.
This training is designed for those who want to dedicate themselves fully to yoga and develop a broad and deep understanding.
Teaching
We learn to build classes from scratch. We analyse how sequences are structured and give you tools and resources to teach safely.
We do teaching practice with the group and the teachers during the retreats, as well as specific workshops on hands-on adjustments, so you learn to align postures in different bodies.
On the teaching side, we work on your voice as a teacher (nonviolent communication, voice projection and modulation), body language and presence, helping each person find their own natural, confident way of communicating.
And of course, we take time to reflect on and develop our ethics as teachers, with an emphasis on the values and responsibility that come with passing on yoga.
Philosophy
Philosophy here isn't just theory: it's a living experience. On every retreat, Pablo guides us through the teachings of yoga in a deeply human, accessible and down-to-earth way. His classes invite us to see philosophy not as a set of abstract concepts, but as a guide for everyday life.
Through conversation, guided practice and shared reflection, we discover how the principles of yoga can transform the way we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world. Teachers who have already trained at Omshanti describe the philosophy classes as an intimate, enriching and inspiring space, and they all agree that Pablo explains things very clearly.
Sadhana
In the training we place special value on personal practice, because self-knowledge grows from regularity. We help you find your own way of practising, without rigidity, so it continues well beyond the training.
Practice can be asana, pranayama, meditation, japa mala or reading sacred texts. What matters isn't how long or how perfect, but the quality of your presence.
We offer tools to bring yoga into daily life in a realistic way that adapts to each stage of life. We're not after strict discipline, but gentle consistency. We want your practice to become a safe space for self-observation and enjoyment.
Nature and home
One weekend a month at the country house, and one Saturday morning in Granollers.
Masia de Can Bordoi
Once a month we hold a residential weekend retreat at Masia de Can Bordoi, a beautiful modernista estate in Llinars del Vallès. Surrounded by forest and nature, with views of the sea, it offers a welcoming, peaceful setting with spacious, light-filled rooms, where we'll have accommodation and vegan meals. The practice space is a very large hall that is also used as a Buddhist meditation centre.
Omshanti Yoga Granollers
The second gathering of the month is a Saturday morning at the Omshanti yoga centre in Granollers, a spacious studio in the centre of town where we feel at home.
Is it for you?
Who can join the training?
This training is for anyone who wants to deepen their personal yoga practice and its philosophy.
If your goal is to become a yoga teacher, we'll give you the tools you need to lead classes and support students on their journey.
If you'd like to broaden your knowledge and practice, we'll guide you to find a progression through asana, pranayama and meditation sequences. We'll give you tasks to work on day to day so you can gradually strengthen your own practice.
If you've never practised yoga but have been wanting to experience it for a while and discover the fundamental principles it's based on.
We start the training from the basics to build solid foundations, and together we progress towards more advanced practices.
What makes it special?
At Omshanti we believe yoga is a lifelong journey. That's why, over these months, we want you to lay the foundations for a good practice and develop the resources you need to explore the path of self-knowledge. Our work is based on awakening awareness, so that you get to know yourself better, develop your qualities and find a harmonious way of thinking, speaking, acting and feeling.
This training gives you the tools to become a yoga teacher and lead classes professionally, with knowledge and confidence. It offers a wide repertoire of resources and the creativity to adapt them to the needs of each group and each student. Everyone will find their own way of practising and living yoga.
The residential retreats in nature also make this training special. We share, live together and take care of one another, far from the daily routine and surrounded by greenery. All of this creates real bonds of community.

Since 2013 she has followed and practised Hatha Raja Yoga in the lineage of Dharma Mittra and Andrei Ram, which sees yoga as a way to cultivate humility and devotion, and to develop a strong longing for liberation.
Since 2023 she has been inspired (especially in pranayama and meditation) by the yogi Gregor Maehle.

Pablo Xavier Zufiriategui
I'm grateful to my teachers, my parents and my friends for the way they shared the luminous path of yoga with me from an early age. And to Omshanti, for giving me the opportunity to accompany other yogis in their sadhana.
Read more
I try to integrate into my daily life some of the many aspects of the yogic tradition (tapas, svadhyaya, ishvara pranidhana...) alongside the rhythm, needs and demands of a modern family man. The presence of the Self in everyday life.
A transformative experience
A training that stays with you for life.
Omshanti is a space that invites you to grow, to learn, to listen, to share… but above all, to love. At Omshanti I've learned that yoga goes beyond asanas and the physical body, which is only the path to reach the spiritual heart.
Pablo is a wonderful communicator; he makes a subject as dense as philosophy truly captivating.
My experience of the 500-hour training has been a beautiful and enriching journey. The retreat format, the warm group in my year and Judith and Mireia's support throughout the whole process mean I'm taking away memories and knowledge that will stay with me forever. Thank you. Om shanti.
I never thought philosophy would move me. Pablo is a true teacher.
I'm so happy I decided to do the Yoga Teacher Training at Omshanti. It helped me connect with the depth of the practice, bring the values of yoga into my life and feel confident to start teaching with the technical and teaching tools I needed, with steadiness and joy.
The residential format lets you dive fully into the training; living together as a group is both necessary and enriching.
Omshanti is where I started practising yoga, and I always knew that if I ever did a training, it would be with this amazing team. A year-and-a-half journey that stays with you for life!
We covered everything; nothing was left hanging. The morning practices were very complete.
All the material is high quality and comes from the experience of the people guiding us, and the methodology is crafted down to the last detail so it reaches you with all the love in the world, which they achieve and then some! The feeling in your body when you get home after each retreat is one of expansion, of wanting to share everything, of complete fulfilment, and of energy and resources to bring into everyday life.
Personally, I really loved the residential format. It let me truly disconnect from the outside world, and I think it's very positive because you really bond with your classmates.
What I liked most was the homework after each retreat. I think it really helps you integrate the concepts and philosophy of yoga.
The short group pranayama practices and the final practice really worked for me.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”The Bhagavad Gita
