Founded by Ellie Ruales, the faculty now includes a range of experienced teaching staff, as well as expert guest teachers for specific learning modules. Each teacher brings their own unique talents and insights, backed up by dedicated self-practice and an involvement in yoga at all levels. The teachers maintain the authentic vision of a classical yoga school, promoting traditional and ancient yogic teachings while incorporating new expertise from western schools of thought - such as anatomy & physiology. The combined teaching experience of the faculty here is +40 years!

We offer expertise in Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga. We run teacher trainings throughout the season (October-May) with 200hr programs in each style, as well as advanced (300hr) programs. Our courses have been developed to have one yoga style as their focal point: this is so you can immerse yourself into an area of expertise and develop a strong foundation for your teaching. We also offer students the opportunity to explore other specialist areas: keep an eye on our various workshops that run regularly throughout the year: sound healing, art meditation, vinyasa flow, aerial yoga, acro yoga as well as yoga nidra… and many more!

The teacher-student relationship is an important dynamic and when well matched, great progress can flourish. We want you to feel like you can relate to your teacher!
You can connect with us before the course either in person, through social-media, or through email if you have any questions. Our students are our priority and we are there to support you on your journey. Students from all over the world visit us from one to six months where they live on an environment conducive to the practice of yoga, pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation. Students learn both technical as well as practical knowledge. During this time their way of seeing life and approaching daily activities is deeply touched. We offer a variety extra workshops and can cater for additional one-on-one support if individuals have specific requirements during their training. |
At Inner Heart Yoga & Holistic Institute, our primary concern is:
"To continuously develop self-awareness and to empower our students to be themselves
so that they can be a source of inspiration and strength to others" - Ellie Ruales

small Class

Many teacher training programs in India take large numbers of students, sometimes from 50 to 100 and even 300 at a time!
At Inner Heart however, despite offering popular programs, we limit our group sizes to 12 students, so that we can focus on individual attention and feedback. We really want to get to know you, your teaching style, help you build your career & develop lasting connections. The group sizes are large enough that you can experience real teaching scenarios and learn from different body types, while remaining small enough that you can build close relationships with your peers and feel supported within an immersive learning environment. |
Enchanting Learning Environment |
We believe location has an influence on your ability to absorb new teachings, and so have set ourselves within this calm and beautiful environment; close enough to walk to westernised tourist amenities, yet far enough away that you are able to retreat into your yoga experience.
The studio space was renovated in 2020, a pristine and fully equipped learning environment that you will love to practice in! We want this location to feel like a place you’d love to visit, so that you get the most out of your experience. Both housing as well as studios settings are 100 mts from the ocean. |
Inner Heart, is a place for understanding the intricate depth of direct knowledge. The students learn patanjali's yoga sutras among other subjects so that they can understand the contents of the mind and follow their inner most path towards self-awareness.
