“IIncredible¨

“I spent 5 weeks with Pranaluz 300 YTT in Costa Rica and I look at it with great gratitude and sense of complement. I think it’s incredibly rare to create a program so well balanced, thought-through yet elastic to guide you through your yoga teaching development. Analu and all the guest teachers were involved in the training are truly inspiring and so easy to connect to at the same time. You get challenged, tested, and pushed forward but always feeling like it’s a safe space with love and kindness to do so. All the new knowledge and materials you get are mind-blowing and the yoga energy you have the chance to tap into transforms your practice to better serve you and others. Pranaluz has also a magical way of attracting just the right energy for the training, so experiences you get to share and exchange with other students are just as big of a gift as the training itself. Taking that on top of it all the locations are Costa Rica's most beautiful locally run hidden spots, there’s really noting that I can recommend more for an aspiring yoga teacher than to join Pranaluz Teacher Training.

“ I left feeling empowered ”

¨It can be really hard to know what course to go for when looking for a yoga teacher training. There are so many options out there. I followed intuition and decided to take my 300-hour YTT with Pranaluz in Costa Rica and it was INCREDIBLE! I Have been teaching yoga for some years and so can be a challenging customer as I really know what and how I want things! This course was so well structured with fantastic teachers, people who live and breathe what they teach. it was structured in a way that Analu knew what we would need and when both as students and from an emotional perspective. She brings in a great variety of teachers from all over the world. I highly recommend this course. I left feeling empowered, and prepared for my next steps, having had a project to prepare and present as part of our assessment¨.

¨The place was just amazing, and the course itself well structured, but at the same time well balanced¨

I did my 300 YTT with Pranaluz in Pavones Costa Rica and can only recommend this beautiful experience.
The place was just amazing, and the course itself well structured, but at the same time well balanced, so we learned a lot, at the same time having enough time to restore.
Analu is so passionate about yoga & its philosophy, and she is such a lovely human being, truly caring for her students. She connects easily with people and teaches with passion. Thanks to her
I discovered interest in spirituality and yoga philosophy, as she was teaching it in such a digestive and normal way. I also found her confidence very inspiring. She also has such a beautiful voice I truly miss shavasana with her singing….
Yoga practices led by Robert were more than just a regular yoga classes, these were more like the experiences. You were left feeling this beautiful yoga bliss. And you can feel his experience, which he truly wants to share with others.
I love how both of them not only share their knowledge & experience with love & passion, but also are just normal & cool humans.
Apart from 2 lead teachers we had a lovely Assistant Teacher Anna and guest teachers: and this is so great as you get to learn from such a variety of people. I also love the fact that Analu brought a therapist to the training, which was truly a valuable and unforgettable experience.

¨Brought me back home¨

My name is Alexis Cress. I completed the online YTT 300 hour with Pranaluz in October 2021. The training brought me “back home” to my true authentic self. It was truly an amazing experience!
I initially signed up for the training because of the depth of yogic philosophy offered. In addition to the yogic philosophy, I advanced my studies in anatomy, yoga and meditation practices, along with Ayurveda, and much more. The depth of experience and diversity among the instructors was very impressive and brought a unique component to this online training. The founder, Analu, was very supportive and always available for questions. Her depth of knowledge and her unique background was inspiring. Her business and marketing experience offered in the training was also invaluable to the program.
I am a stronger and better yoga and meditation instructor because of this advanced training. I have also grown spiritually through this training. Thank you Pranaluz and all of your wonderful instructors. I am truly grateful!

¨Magical training beyond my expectations¨

This training went beyond my expectations and filled my heart and soul with love and knowledge. Analu and Jono are amazing individuals with so much to share and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from them. This program has been well thought out and the exciting amount of knowledge presented was well received with the amount of time given throughout the training. Tiskita Jungle Lodge in Costa Rica is a magical place and to have been able to live there for 5 weeks left me feeling loved and at home. The staff and owners are just as magical and beautiful as the lodge itself. They will go above and beyond for you making sure you feel right at home! If you are looking to further your own personal practice or to better yourself as a teacher I highly recommend this course.

´Life-changing experience¨

This training is life-changing. Analu is a world-class instructor who has a remarkable ability to break down complex spiritual teachings in a digestible, captivating way. She makes her teachings unique to YOU and what will make the concepts click in your brain and in your heart. In addition to thought-provoking lectures, our days were filled with adventure, connection, and time for introspection. And not to mention the delicious fresh food. I did not have a meal in the 5+ weeks that I didn’t thoroughly love. This training left my mind, body and spirit nourished. I felt supported by Analu every step of the way, from planning the trip, to making it home and every moment in between. I could not recommend the training, and more specifically an instructor more. <3 I carry the memories and learnings with me every day.

A transformative experience I will never forget

I did my 300 Hour in Costa Rica with Pranaluz and it was one of the best life decisions I have made! Analu teaches from the heart and I felt so held and supported through the whole experience. It was a perfect place and time to do some self-exploration and Analu and Jono's holistic and spiritual understanding makes this experience all the richer. I left this training feeling more confident in myself as a teacher, and like I had begun to shift some old issues that I had going on emotionally and physically. A transformative experience I will never forget.

I recommend this training to all the yoga teachers who would like to take their teaching to the next level
I did my 300YTT with Pranaluz in Bali and it was an amazing experience both physically and spiritually. I loved most of the lectures, the program was really well-tailored, filling up all the areas that you would need to know as a yoga teacher. This training helped me discover my interest in meditation and spirituality for which I will be forever grateful! Both of our lead teachers were amazing - beautiful Analu showing us the magic of Bhakti yoga, always being there for us, and guiding us through secrets of meditation techniques! I would recommend this training to all the yoga teachers who would like to take their experience to the next level. With love,

¨They are an endless source of love¨

After doing my 300-hour YTT with Pranaluz in Bali I found that I not only grew into a stronger, more confident teacher but also as a person. I was encouraged to explore new ways of teaching including ques, sequencing, and finding confidence in teaching more advanced asanas. The knowledge surrounding anatomy and philosophy was in-depth and extremely well presented. I find meditation a tricky thing to teach, even after my 200-hour YTT, but after Pranaluz I have so many techniques to share and am much more comfortable in the language to use when teaching others. Not to mention how deep my own practice has become! Each and every teacher at Pranaluz has a certain magic to them. Analu, Jono, Katia, and everyone they choose work with care deeply about what they do and are experts at it. They are an endless source of love and support as they help you jump to the next level as a teacher. I cannot recommend this course enough!!!

Submerge into deeper knowledge

“My 300h YTT with Pranaluz allowed me to submerge into a deeper knowledge of yoga philosophy and meditation, applying it into my personal life and at the same time learning how to share and teach this experience to others. I recommended this training for giving your practice and teaching a deeper meaning of why we practice yoga and what it can do for us.”

Gave me everything

“So glad I booked the Pranaluz 300 hrs training. It gave me everything I felt my previous training was lacking and helped me feel super prepared to enter the world as an informed teacher. Lasting memories, beautiful teachers, and an amazing setting. When it came time to leave the jungle, I found myself wanting to stay, thank you Analu and all my fellow yogis! We remain close and that is something I hold close to my heart.”

Such much variety of content

Analu has directed a holistic YTT program direct from her heart. Her passion to share her knowledge & experience is infectious. I have Analu’s voice beside me now as I go on and teach others, from the heart also. The course is not easy, it will challenge you physically, emotionally, mentally (both physiologically and intellectually). BUT what is for sure: you will see, learn, experience & grow as an individual & as a teacher. There is also a lot of support from the whole Pranaluz team to help you through your journey on the course and beyond it. And.... as for your teaching portfolio - there is so much variety of content that you will be able to learn additional styles and skills to expand yourself further. Learning what is your own strengths within the yoga sphere and how you can apply your own individual touch. Much love to the team!! What are you waiting for??? Now is the time to start this journey!!

The most enriching experience in my life

Having had the opportunity to have my YTT with Pranaluz in the jungle of Costa Rica was one of the most enriching experience in my life: teachers who lead with their heart, knowledge, wisdom and experience, a community that was held together by love, compassion and kindness, feeling safe and yet at the same time being able to grow and moving out of my comfort zone. Deepening my yoga practice in this environment and growing as a teacher myself are only some parts of these m magical weeks. Thank you so much for everything Analu and Pranaluz

My heart was opened and my mind and expectations were blown away

I am so happy that after searching for a long time for the right place to future my studies as a yoga teacher, that I chose Pranaluz. Every aspect of the module that I completed resonated strongly with me. The philosophy, mediation, anatomy, and asana components were all authentic and comprehensive. All of the teachers are very experienced, open-minded, and grounded. Analu is an intuitive and natural-born teacher with years of varied experience to support her vast knowledge. She has a great focus on alignment to suit individuals in asana and a wealth of knowledge in many areas. You will love her straight away! Matahi has such a rich history of life and spirituality that he is able to share from the heart with humor and passion. Katya is an astounding soul who will gently guide and support you. My heart was opened and my mind and expectations were blown away. This next level of yoga teacher training is holistic and will deepen your knowledge of yoga as well as helping you to grow as a person. I’m looking forward to studying with Pranaluz again as soon as I can.

I highly suggest you Pranaluz - starting your Yoga journey

I met Ana Lou at my past YTT in Bali and had her as my main Teacher, where she kept surprising me with how kind and strong one person can be all at the same time. When Ana Lou used to stand in front of the classroom you could feel her sheer presence in every single corner of the whole room! She has this amazing beautiful soft energy that lifts you up by just being in her presence. What was most important to me was that Ana Lou thought about how to be balanced in myself, she is the perfect example for a well-balanced person, I have never met anyone that is so soft and kind but also so strong and passionate! Ana Lou is the best Yoga Teacher I have had so far, she has a wonderful way of teaching, a always listening ear, and a caring shoulder for her students. If you are thinking of taking part in a YTT and becoming a Yoga Instructor I highly suggest you Pranaluz YTT, starting your Yoga Journey with Ana is the best thing you can do!

Exceptional experience

Analu is an exceptional yoga teacher. She will patiently and graciously impart her knowledge and experience and holds an immense passion both for yoga itself and also for the growth and well-being of her students. It is hard to put into words how much we flourished during the 200 hour TT. I always looked forward to her classes knowing there was something new she would teach me. I still carry her lessons with me today, 18 months later.

TESTIMONIOS EN ESPAÑOL

¨De las mejores desiciones de mi vida¨

Llevar mi training de Yoga fue una de las mejores dicisiones de mi vida, tuve miedo de que fuera una escuela que solo quisiera vender o que se concentrara solo en posturas y lo que conocemos en occidente, por el contrario me sentí bien recibida con las puertas abiertas, con la oportunidad de poder pagar de forma más flexible y con contenido sumamente valioso. Pranaluz es una escuela hecha desde el corazón y se nota el amor en cada proceso que se lleva en el training. Yo como persona y profesionalmente tuve un antes y después de este curso, a pesar de tener experiencia como profesora en otras cosas, las profesoras me ayudaron a ver aún más el potencial y la luz en mí. Solo puedo decir, gracias, gracias y más gracias y que está luz llegue a muchas más personas.

¨Reconectarme con mi Dharma¨

Haber participado de la formación para profesores de Yoga de PranaLuz ha sido sin lugar a dudas una experiencia muy significativa en mi vida. Una vivencia que me permitió compartir con mujeres maravillosas de diferentes culturas y países. Todas ellas empoderadas desde el amor y enfocadas en seguir trabajando en su crecimiento personal y profesional, y por supuesto siguiendo sus sueños con determinación. Yo personalmente buscaba un segundo entrenamiento donde poder afianzar viejos conocimientos y obtener nuevas herramientas en la enseñanza del Yoga, pero para mi sorpresa el resultado superó mis expectativas con creces, brindándome la oportunidad de reconectarme con mi Dharma, dándole un nuevo sentido a mi camino personal y un aporte humano invaluable. El entrenamiento fue también sumamente completo en el sentido más académico y perfectamente adaptado a las necesidades actuales de la enseñanza. El entorno fue también clave para la armoniosa atmósfera del aprendizaje. Cada profesor, dio a la enseñanza un aporte profesional y humano distinto, y desde luego muy valioso. Fue serio en el contenido pero nunca faltó el humor en la forma. Ana Lu mantuvo siempre el buen ritmo en todo el proceso de aprendizaje al mismo tiempo brindó acompañamiento y seguridad a todas/os sus alumnas/os. Su presencia como profesora en la teoría como en la práctica siempre fue una inspiración. Su hermosa voz y su bella música dotaron al entrenamiento de un fuerte componente artístico y se sintió casi familiar sentarse a cantar en torno a los círculos de alumnas/os. La atención del profesorado y el personal del hotel fue siempre cálida, amena y personalizada. Una experiencia única y me siento sumamente agradecida con todo el equipo Prana Luz! Gracias!

Just like she was right there by our side

"If I could go back, I would choose over and over again Pranaluz. I could not be more happy with my choice for my 300H YTT course. Even with the challenges that an online course brings, Analu has the ability to walk right by our side through every step of the way with all her heart and kindness, just like she was right there by our side. I can say for sure that this course was prepared with such care and love, that it is impossible not to plant a seed on every one of our hearts to grow for life. Analu is an inspiring teacher and a human being full of light and love, always caring about us, always caring about giving us tools not only for the practice on the mat, but also out of the mat and for our lives. I am truly grateful to the universe to have been able to do this journey with Pranaluz and to have cross the paths of all the great people that were part of this project."

Honors the roots

I first met Analu during my first teacher training in Bali in 2016, she was a lead teacher. She was warm, passionate about sharing her knowledge and experiences, and really cared about each student.
This extended even after I graduated, Analu has always been encouraging. Over the years she became somewhat of a mentor for me in further study and developing my own teaching potential and possibilities!
In 2020 I wanted to delve deeper into Yoga Philosophy and undertook Pranluz 300 HR YTT online training. It was a very enriching experience that was beyond what I Imagined an online course could be.
I loved the diversity between teachers and opportunity to study different subjects in such detail (more than possible in an person training!). I felt so supported throughout the entire course, with group interactions and 1:1 calls with Analu.
The content was well structured and thought out in a way that is individualised- I could explore my own passions and expand upon them as a teacher.
Analu really honours the roots of yoga, the sacredness as a practice and self inquiry and reflection along the way. I am so inspired and grateful!.

Enriching experience

The online YTT 300HR with Pranaluz was an incredibly enriching experience. Even though it was all digital, the sense of community and support was strongly felt. The information was presented in engaging lectures and it was wonderful to be able to study and learn from many different teachers from all over the world. By the end of the course, I felt saturated in the Yogic knowledge and my asana practice had greatly deepened. Analu is a passionate teacher who cares for her students individual progress and she was always willing to help in whatever way she could. I’m looking forward to doing another course with Analu at some point!-
