Join Bre & Flo for an unforgettable yoga teacher training (YTT) in the rolling hills of Andalusia in southern Spain to connect more deeply with your Self, mother nature, and the community around you. With two event dates to pick from, this YTT is not only about receiving a certification to teach yoga. It offers a transformative journey through the yogic path that leads to personal evolution as you open yourself up to new possibilities; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

The next Breathe and Flow YTT won’t happen until 2029. So if your heart is ready to go deeper, to remember who you are, and to walk the path of yoga on and off the mat, this is your moment to say yes. Whether your goal is to inspire wellness through teaching or to uncover new depths within your own practice, this 200-hour training will support you fully and we’d be honored to walk this path with you.

From all around the globe, we will gather as a family in a safe and supportive environment that encourages deep introspection, purification, and self discovery in this spiritually driven setting. In addition to the formal 200 hour training, we'll also take time to explore the beauty of this area with a private group guided tour.

Together, we'll close out the training going far beyond a mere yoga certification but also with more energy, intention, clarity, community, revelation of inner wisdom, and a renewed grasp on our lives, our health, and our future. 

Welcome to our 200 hour Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training in beautiful Spain. This training is designed to deepen your personal practice and equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to confidently teach yoga to others. With over 2500+ hours of combined training, we will bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the YTT program. Over the course of three weeks, you'll dive deep into our comprehensive curriculum covering the history and philosophy of yoga, anatomy and physiology, sequencing, teaching methodology, as well as asana (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, yoga as a lifestyle, and so much more. We’ll be weaving in additional offerings such as a Cacao Circle, a professional massage for each student, cold plunge (are you surprised?!), a brand new yoga mat, and a private BNF YTT guided group tour to nearby local areas.

You'll receive personalized attention and support from both Bre and Flo as well as two yoga assistants (past BNF YTT Graduates!), allowing you to develop your own unique teaching style and confidently lead your own classes. This training is limited to 45 students, which allows Bre & Flo to provide enough individual attention and enables you to practice teaching with a solid group. Upon completion of the program, you'll receive a certification for successfully completing the training which enables you to register yourself as a Yoga Alliance 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, qualified to teach yoga anywhere in the world. But more importantly, you'll have gained a deeper understanding of yourself and the practice of yoga, and be equipped with the tools to share that understanding with others.

We welcome all levels of experience. Although it's not required, we do recommend that you have at least one year of yoga asana and meditation experience with our style and overall mental and physical health as this will allow you to get the most out of this training. Expect the movement classes to be accessible, challenging, and playful no matter your level of fitness. You can come alone or book a shared room and we’ll pair you with your future besties. Most of our event attendees are solo travelers and we become a family instantly; you’ll feel as though you’ve arrived hOMe.

From our students, we ask for dedication, commitment, and surrender, as well as full immersion and involvement in the training. This commitment and immersion will make the work as impactful, potent, and effective as possible. We ask students to come with an open heart and mind, ready to see and to receive all that is out there. To fully embrace the yogic lifestyle, we ask our participants to observe a plant-based diet, abstain from other distractions such as alcohol and processed foods, and to disconnect from technology and unnecessary external communication.

WARNING: this is not a yoga retreat. This is a FULL ON immersive 12-hours a day university style SCHOOL. You will be challenged physically and mentally. If you'd like to attend one of our events where you can relax and kick back, then please consider attending one of our future yoga retreats instead.

Tucked away in the sun drenched hills of southern Spain, the Suryalila Retreat sanctuary blends rustic charm with eco-luxury. The rooms range from shared dorms to beautiful luxury rooms, to glamping domes, and campervan spots. All rooms, public indoor spaces, and yoga shalas have air conditioning so you'll stay comfortable no matter where you are. The property will offer plant-based organic meals from its own permaculture gardens, a jaw-dropping yoga dome with panoramic views, and open-air spaces, a pool, and lounge areas to breathe, reflect, and connect. This place is a hidden gem where intentional design, nature, and community come together to hold something truly unforgettable.

The dedicated and loving onsite chefs cater two delicious plant-based meals served buffet style each and every day as well as an all-day coffee, tea, and fruit bar. They use local and fresh organic ingredients; many of which are harvested on-site daily from the permaculture gardens. During the entire duration of the training, we follow a yogic whole food plant based (WFPB) diet. Prior to the event, we will be sending out more information about the WFPB diet.

We will send an intake form to all attendees prior to the training to inquire about general topics including diet restrictions and allergies. We will try to accommodate any allergies and restrictions that our attendees have, such as gluten free, peanut, or fruit allergies. However, if you have a lot of dietary restrictions, especially any airborne allergies, please email us ahead of time to see if the kitchen staff can make accommodations for you as we can’t guarantee it unless discussed prior to booking. 

General Travel Info

• ~ Suryalila Retreat Center is located at Cortijo La Fabrica, Pago de Pajarete, 11650 Villamartin, Cádiz, Spain

• ~ Ground transportation will be coordinated closer to the event date on your own but Suryalila can assist and we will also have a shared carpool spreadsheet so you can reduce the cost  
• ~ Plan to arrive at the Suryalila venue between 1:30 - 2:30p on Saturday August 15th 2026

• ~ You must have printed proof of onward / return flights 
• ~ For most countries, no visa is required for a stay of up to 90 days but please confirm your visa requirements before booking your flight

Weather

Spain’s southern region is sun-drenched and dry in July and August. Expect hot days with clear skies and cooler, comfortable nights. Daytime highs hover around 90–95°F (32–35°C), while evenings dip to the mid-60s°F (18–20°C).  Think breathable fabrics and light layers; we’ll send a full packing list with more tips as we get closer to the gathering. Although it will be a bit toasty outdoors, all rooms, public indoor spaces, and yoga shalas have air conditioning so you'll stay comfortable no matter where you are.

Travel Insurance 

We recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover the entirety of your trip. If you book your flight through Expedia.com, they offer travel insurance and health insurance as an additional add-on cost but you can also purchase travel insurance independently. We recommend using Insure My Trip.

Traveling Solo and/or looking for Travel Buddies?

• ~ We have always felt very safe when we travel but we also know it's different for everyone - especially those traveling alone or for the first time. We're happy to help coordinate additional requests for you to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable enough to travel. 
• ~ Our venue contact can help coordinate private and shared taxis with their verified drivers.
• ~ Based on past live events, 90% of our students come solo so rest assured that you’re not alone. Nearly everyone coming won’t know each other so we'll be offering plenty of opportunities to build community - you’ll feel like family in no time. 
• ~ For our live events, we always have a shared spreadsheet with everyone's travel itinerary which you will receive months before the event. 
• ~ A month before the event, we also do a group chat on whatsapp so everyone can sync up with logistics (and so we can send out reminders, resources, dope music playlists, and good vibes).
• ~ We encourage folks to link up with each other before/after the events so they have travel buddies and so you can also save money by carpooling/dorm sharing. 

While we will have our sons at the YTT with us, they will have three full time nannies to care for them from 6a - 7p everyday. We will sadly not be able to spend much time with them that month and that’s honestly the hardest part about teaching these YTTs. However, besides our kids, we are not allowing any other children to attend the training regardless of their age. Along the same lines, we are also not allowing students’ friends/family to stay at the venue property during the YTT. 

Our program requires a very focused and intensive learning environment that involves long hours of study and practice, which can be challenging for both you and your child/spouse/friend. Moreover, our curriculum is designed to provide a very structured and distraction-free environment for our trainees to learn and grow as yoga teachers. 

We understand that this may pose a challenge especially with young children, but we need to create an optimal learning environment for all of our trainees (including YOU!) so each of you can fully immerse yourselves in the YTT and receive the most benefit from it. If this season of your life doesn’t align and your child is too young to be separated from you for a full three weeks, then we suggest attending a future training. Thank you for your understanding!
