✨ Deepen Your Practice. Expand Your Teaching. Transform Your Path.
Welcome to YOGA EXPANSION — a 50-hour advanced training for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners who are ready to step into a deeper, more embodied, more confident expression of yoga.
This training is not just about learning “more techniques”, although learning how to practice and teach breathwork, yoga nidra and asana with skill and confidence is truly a gamechanger.
It’s also about expanding who you are as a practitioner, a teacher, and a human being.
A full-bodied immersion into Asana, Transformational Breathwork, Yoga Nidra, Yogic Ethics, and Spiritual Transmission — guided by Scarlett & Gaia, senior teachers with decades of training experience in Goa.
This is where practice becomes lived experience.

Whether you are:

…this training was created for you.
THE 4 PILLARS OF EMBODIED TRANSMISSION™
The foundation of all Yoga Expansion trainings.
1️⃣ ASANA — The Body of Wisdom
Learn to move from your center, felt alignment, and understand the architecture of intelligent practice.
Core elements include:
-
Tadasana Dynamic
-
Alignment principles
-
Bandha & core integration
-
Breath–movement synergy
-
Drishti & stability
-
Intelligent progression & safe expansion
-
Developing a sustainable self-practice
2️⃣ ETHICS — The Heart of Integrity
Teaching from the inside out.
You’ll explore:
-
Yama & Niyama in everyday practice
-
Consecration & devotion
-
Boundaries, clarity, and self-trust
-
Teaching from authenticity, not performance
3️⃣ SPIRITUAL AIDS — The Sacred Atmosphere
The unseen forces that elevate a class into a transmission.
You will learn:
-
Creating sacred space (shrine, scent, sound, symbolism)
-
Using music energetically
-
How to sequence energetically
-
Yoga nidra, Breathwork and other tools for integration & transformation
4️⃣ TRANSMISSION — The Art of Presence
Where technique becomes skillfully & safely executed.
You will develop:
-
Intuitive teaching
-
Emotional intelligence
-
Inner voice & authentic cueing
-
Nervous system awareness
-
Holding space with confidence
-
Teaching from understanding and experience, not memory
These four pillars become the foundation of your teaching and your personal practice.
🌬️ Core Practices You Will Study & Embody
✔ Asana
Dynamic, alignment-informed practice for confidence, clarity, and depth.
✔ Transformational Breathwork
(Pranayama + Conscious Connected Breathing Techniques)
For emotional release, nervous system reset, energetic expansion, and deep presence.
✔ Yoga Nidra
For integration, healing, and subtle body awareness.
✔ Living Yoga (Yamas & Niyamas)
Making your practice real, grounded, sincere, and joyful.
Together, these create a full-spectrum training that transforms you from the inside out.

to teach from presence rather than performance.
✔ More depth
beyond technique — into energy, ethics, and wisdom.
✔ More community

Testimonials

Evi Van Meirhaeghe, (Belgium)
Thailand March 2011
… And then, of course, there is the fantastic teaching team. Each and every teacher has their own teaching style and has heaps of knowledge to offer to the students. I learned so much from each of them. Every day presented challenges, adventures, and growing opportunities on and off the mat, as we learned more about yoga asana, pranayama, philosophy, Ayurveda, the chakras.

One word that summarizes my experience with Tribe is ‘’transformative’’. I came out a different person. More conscious, with a better attitude towards myself and the universe and a deeper understanding of what Life is all about…
…. Conclusion: Deep down from my heart I want to share that the 4 weeks I have spent with Tribe Yoga has been one of the most cherished experiences in my life.

Tommaso Sguanci, (Italy)
India, April 2016
I am into yoga since 2003 as I was a monk in a spiritual community for 7 years, doing yoga, meditation, vegetarianism, fasting, chastity, poverty, obedience, and many other ascetic things. I practiced many types of yoga and Teachers were really well prepared, not just in poses, also in philosophy, spirituality, diet, complementary medicine, mantras, kriyas. Scarlett is a force of nature! I love the kindness and the warm heart of all of the teachers.

Bogey Boyd, Canada
GOA, Jan 2013
It was rigorous, it pushed my boundaries to the point that I became a completely different person. The person I have always hoped to become: Like a jigsaw puzzle, the many pieces of my life seemed to just fall into place – I was able to adopt teachings into my daily life by ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK. I know in my heart that Tribe has shown me the path towards The Awesome Now it’s up to me to walk that path. Thank you so much for your guidance Tribe!!!!

Tribe possesses a professional teaching faculty, who are motivated, encouraging, well experienced, in addition to being masterfully talented in their teaching capabilities. Not only has completing the training deepened my dedication and motivation towards my own personal practice, but it has also led to enlightening self-discovery and beautiful awakening.

A once in a lifetime experience. This fully comprehensive course allowed improvement for yoga asana and self-practice but gave valuable tools for life as a yoga teacher and human being. Fabulous!”
Bruce Taylor, (USA)
Austria August 2016
… I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. Throughout the duration of the training all time was fully utilized and it was clear that there was an immense amount of planning and structure integrated into the experience. The teachers are absolutely top-notch, to say the least… Without Tribe, I wouldn’t have been able to move into such fields professionally. Don’t hesitate, it’s worth every bit of your investment.

Claire Wilson, UK

… I am indebted to Tribe and all of their trainers as they shared their knowledge, passion. I really felt there was time and space to listen and be attentive to the physical and spiritual changes that were happening, which was wonderful.

Zuzana Holtby
Austria 2016
It was exactly during this course that I felt like I arrived home. I learned a lot. I felt very alive and became super-sensitive to the things I hadn’t been previously aware of. Thanks to this, I was able to work on myself not just as a yoga teacher but more so as a human being. Through the beautiful presence of the teachers, I allowed myself to soften into knowing, that all truly is well!”

Trent Banyan, (Australia)
India 2013
“Since January 2013, I have consistently had a daily practice, incorporating it into every aspect of my life… I can’t thank Tribe Yoga enough for the fantastic training. My yoga journey continually grows and my whole life feels in line with what the universe has in store for me. My classes are a credit to the teachings of the whole Tribe Yoga team and the countless gifts the other students on the course passed on to me!
