Yoga on La Gomera
yoga therapy & yoga teacher
2024
In 2024 I'm going back to my home country, to La Gomera, for further training in yoga therapy and training to become a medical yoga teacher.
Enjoy the unique atmosphere in the former hippy paradise, the Valle Gran Rey. At 25° and lots of sun, we practice outside on the beach as often as possible and when it gets too cold or windy in our seminar room.
On our seminar days there is enough time to enjoy the beach and the island, to have a good meal in the evening and to relax.
On days off, I'll be happy to show you the most beautiful beaches or take you out in the boat to see whales and dolphins.
Kompaktkurs 'Faszienyoga & YogaNervensystem'
- für Therapeuten mit & ohne Yogaerfahrung -
This course is equally suitable for therapists with and without yoga experience. You will learn the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of connective tissue and fascial chains.
You will learn yoga exercises in many variations to match each fascia chain. In this way you can actively treat the fascia with your patients during therapy and create an individual exercise program for each patient.
In the second part you will learn the anatomy and physiology of the 'vegetative nervous system' and the visceral circuitry. You will learn to carry out the vegetative and visceral therapy 100% actively with the help of yoga. Furthermore, we deal with peripheral compression syndromes. Learn how to successfully treat peripheral nerve and plexus compressions with active exercise.
You will receive an online course 3 weeks before the course. Here you can work through the entire theory with the help of our videos and presentations. On La Gomera I repeat the theory briefly, but then we have a lot of time for yoga in the sun.

Medical & Tantric yoga teacher
In 2024 we will again be offering the medical yoga teacher training with Florian Hockenholz on La Gomera. The training on La Gomera differs in content from the German training because the content of Tantra Yoga is added on La Gomera. In addition to the asana practice, the focus is even more on therapeutic yoga, pranayam (breathwork), meditation and tantric yoga. You will learn to teach yoga groups in prevention and rehabilitation and to integrate breathwork and meditation into your classes as an integral part of yoga practice. Of course, you will also learn how to perform and guide the classic asanas.
In the training on La Gomera, you will be challenged even more from the start to teach yourself, to collect your own practice and to integrate yoga into your daily practice from day one.
Part 1 & 2 find compact from 31.01. - 09.02.2024 on La Gomera. You can play parts 3, 4 & 5 of the Medical Yoga training in Germany or for the Medical & Tantra Yoga training coming back to La Gomera in winter (30.11. - 13.12.2024).
About 6 weeks before the course you will receive an online course (about 60 hours) to prepare you for the training and theory. This leaves much more time for yoga practice in the sun on La Gomera.

Kompaktkurs 'Achtsamkeit, Meditation & Breathwork'
- für Therapeuten mit & ohne Yogaerfahrung -
Mindfulness, Meditation & Breath work:
They are important building blocks in the context of maintaining health, stress tolerance and resilience. In this compact course, learn how to help groups and individual clients/patients maintain and promote their health using exercises in the areas of mindfulness, meditation and breathwork.
This course is suitable for all therapists who want to specifically support people in these areas.
This part of the course includes a lot of self-awareness and self-practice.
This training is designed for people with yoga experience, therapists and yoga teachers.
You will receive an online course 3 weeks before the course. Here you can learn the entire theory with the help of our videos and presentations. I'll repeat the theory briefly on La Gomera, so we'll have plenty of time for yoga in the sun.
Daily routine:
Course times are daily from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and an additional evening on the beach. The remaining time is at your leisure. I would be happy to show you the most beautiful corners of the island, take you out to sea to watch whales and dolphins or show you the best restaurants in town in the evening.

Getting there:
You can get to Tenerife daily from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, preferably to Tenerife South Airport. From there, MesaBus will take you directly to the port and then take the ferry to La Gomera (approx. 1 hour). The next MesaBus is waiting there to bring you directly to us in Valle Gran Rey.
The entire transfer is organized by MesaBus and can also be booked in German.
The journey is therefore completely uncomplicated.

Accommodation:
It's best to just look at Airbnb. You will find many accommodations in Valle Gran Rey. the closer you are to the beach the better. Everything is within walking or cycling distance. Only the apartments in la Calera are reserved for the sporty participants (many stairs).
I recommend either one of the two hotels in town or one of the holiday resorts. Usually you get something between €60 and €75/night in a single room with breakfast. In the evening there are countless very cheap and good restaurants.
Just write me if you are looking for a room - I would be happy to recommend something to you.

The Valle Gran Rey (Valley of the Great King) is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Canary Islands. lonely beaches, a small fishing village, very good and cheap restaurants - but you will also find a doctor, supermarket and pharmacy here.

The place stretches up the mountain. The district 'La Calera' is very beautiful, car-free but only accessible by up to 300 steps. If you are sporty or want to become sporty, La Calera is also a nice place for accommodation. If you want to take it easy, look for accommodation on the beach.
