The Expansion The bridge for teachers and practitioners ready to rise beyond their foundations.
Welcome to The Expansion
A modular advanced training created for practitioners and teachers who want to develop deeper skills, stronger technique, and more confidence, without committing to a full 300-hour training.
This immersion blends modern movement, advanced asana techniques, and embodied personal growth. It is designed to transform the way you move, teach, breathe, and relate to yourself. You choose your level of expansion: 50h or 70h.
Transformation unfolds in layers
True transformation doesn't happen in one leap, it unfolds in layers. This training is designed to deepen not only how you move, but how you understand, embody, and teach yoga. You grow at your own pace while receiving high-level guidance, refined technique, and personalized feedback, with both teachers beside you throughout the whole week.
Expect stronger, more conscious movement. Sharper cueing, clearer sequencing, and a more confident presence as a teacher. This is expansion on every level, of skill, awareness, expression, and leadership, so you leave not just inspired, but elevated in your practice and your teaching.
Your own stretch of Ferma Bay
Crete is where crystal-clear water, authentic Greek charm, and deep quiet come together. You'll be based in the tranquil village of Ferma, at a private beachfront retreat designed for both serious practice and complete rest.
The heart of it is a beautiful 90 sqm wooden shala, full of natural light, made for yoga, meditation and mindful movement. Between sessions you have exclusive access to a private beach deck, reached by its own jetty over the turquoise water, where you can swim, sink into the sun, or simply slow down.
And for one more layer of restoration, a traditional round Greek sauna waits at the end of each day.
- 50h / 70h certification eligible for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education (YACEP)

Local food, slow days
You'll sleep steps from the sea, in a shared or private room, surrounded by the natural beauty of Crete and panoramic views over the bay.
Food is at the centre of the experience: fresh, local Cretan cooking, breakfast, lunch and dinner included every day, so you can focus entirely on your practice and your wellbeing. This is a place to disconnect from everyday life, reconnect with yourself, and fully arrive.

Guided by two mentors
Caterina
I am a 750+ hour RYT Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga teacher and a Rocket® Yoga mentor, with a degree in Exercise Science and the founder of a yoga studio in Italy. After several years as an artistic gymnast, I transitioned into yoga, integrating strength, control, and movement awareness into my teaching. My approach is dynamic, structured, and practice-oriented, focused on developing strength, mobility, and intelligent movement through progressive sequencing.
Michelle

I've guided students through numerous Yoga Teacher Trainings, with a strong focus on advanced asana, intelligent sequencing, hands-on assists, mobility, and embodied movement. Through precise alignment and skill-based progressions, I help students refine their practice, expand their teaching tools, and embody a stronger, more empowered way of moving and guiding others.
