This training course aims to provide a technical and cultural background of Yoga that one can use for deepening the knowledge of the various aspects of this discipline as a personal growth and/or preparing for teaching. 

The purpose of the course is to train teachers in the various aspects of this traditional discipline, with a solid base of theoretical knowledge, a good command of psychophysical techniques and a safe teaching methodology.

The very essence of yogic teaching is free from any dogmatic closure and does not preclude or provide for any personal religious affiliation.

Our goal is to create qualified Yoga teachers, self-aware and capable of teaching with humility and dedication.

Finca El Quinto is a family run ecological farm with individually designed holiday homes located between mountains and ocean in the north of Tenerife.

Three generations live and create together. The Finca has its beginnings in 1986 and is now managed by the second generation.

It is one of the few holiday fincas in the Canary Islands that, in addition to offering a unique  holiday experience, also runs organic farming. The formerly fallow land has been transformed step by step into a natural oasis with traditional Canarian style accomodations. The apartments and houses are situated between orange trees, banana palms and many other exotic plants and tree species. Besides finding relaxation in the unique nature, Finca El Quinto is the perfect starting point for numerous leisure and sports activities, such as hiking, climbing, surfing, paragliding and much more.

The cottages on Finca El Quinto are a tribute to the traditional Canarian architecture and carpentry. All houses have been built & renovated so that they harmonize perfectly with their surroundings. During the construction and renovation of the houses, we were committed to being as environmentally friendly as possible and therefore use only sustainable products. The restoration of old wooden planks from the 18th century and the recycling of typical Canarian roof tiles complete the bond with the island. The houses are fully furnished and modern art and antiques from around the world provide each house with its individuality.

Finca El Quinto is determined to treat nature as gently as possible. Not only in the cultivation of the land, but also in the construction of the houses, care was taken to use all resources in a sustainable and ecological sense. All houses have a sophisticated sewage system to treat and recycle the waste water.

The Finca is self-sufficience. Its treasure is the water spring of the Finca. Its wonderful, vital water, which flows from a more than three kilometre deep mountain tunnel, has made the finca flourish for decades. The two swimming pools are also filled with this spring water as well as the water tanks which are used to irrigate the finca.

During a guided tour of the Finca the team will answer all your questions, explaining the ecological cultivation of oranges, bananas, avocados, lemons, papayas, guayavos, chirimoya, herbs of all kinds and vegetables depending on the season. Of course the guests can also purchase the fruits of the finca. Chickens and black pigs live on the Finca. Therefore ther guests can enjoy fresh eggs and can feed the organic waste to the pigs.

One of the main ideas of the finca is to give guests the opportunity to reconnect with nature. Guests experience and are actively involved in the processes of natural agriculture. The self- harvesting of organic products provides not only an exceptional freshness and quality of the food, but also the stimulus to break new and sustainable ground at home.

On the 30th April 2022 there will be a Welcome meeting on the wooden platform at Finca El Quinto.
