Experience.
First of all the Environment. The Houses, the yoga shala, the tent Place, the Mountains, all the birds and the cows who came to visit almost everyday I felt immediately like home. Then the amazing food!! Oh my gosh. So good, so healthy, mainly Åsa and sometimes Alyson cooked, I will really miss that. The excursions with Manuel were also amazing. Hiking, going to caves, climbing, waterfalls, ocean, they have also surf equipment. Alyson and Simon are great teacher. I learned so much and not just about how I should teach, really for my life. We had great Meditations with Simon good talks with Alyson about yoga philosophy. Adjustments with both of them. Great Anatomy class with Åsa. I can deeply recommend this yoga teacher training but also the “normal” yoga retreats. The two kids from Alyson and Simon are also so lovely. I spent there 4 weeks and I would do it again and I will definitely come back. I am not sure if I can explain how much this teacher training and the surrounding meant to me but yeah, Lots of love and Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bavanthu

An amazing place. A peaceful, tranquil haven of happiness, learning, discovering & living life as we should. The accommodation & Shala are quaint & beautiful. The scenery is idyllic & the animals roaming around are just wonderful, Simon is fantastic. His knowledge is so vast & he shares it from his heart. The rock climbing is an added bonus & a hugely rewarding experience. Everyone working here is friendly, helpful & loving. Such a magical experience & I cannot wait to return.

Alyson and Simon were both knowledgeable, disciplined, and gentle teachers. I enjoyed every Mysore practice, workshop, meditation, and discourse. A lot of effort was put into making the experience special - throughout the month we were given various ‘surprises’, which I won’t divulge. Simon took us on incredible adventures - I hadn’t really expected much as I’d signed up primarily for the yoga, but we were taken to the most tranquil, unspoilt places of natural beauty. The whole thing was a wonderful way to deepen my practice. Oh and the food was amazing - delicious vegan/vegetarian meals!!

I did my 200h yttc in Asturias Yoga and it was beyond expectation...the magic of the place, the beautiful nature and high level of teachers, made the experience just awesome. You can learn ashtanga yoga from yogis who practice it everyday with dedication and authenticity. Aly and Simon are such beautiful human beings open to share all their knowledge and help you whatever you need.
Would love to come back to visit them and share some more practices at some point

I couldn’t have asked for more. The teaching is high quality and the teachers are true to themselves, authentic. Simon and Aly are extremely knowledgeable and know how to teach. The vibe of the place is peaceful and the program was really organized. Tents are nice and the nature is incredible. The vegan meals were delicious with some fruits and vegetables straight from the garden. I learned a lot and had a deep spiritual experience. I highly recommend Asturias Yoga for any yogic purposes

Clases de auténtico ashtanga en un entorno espectacular. Todo ello coronado por el sentido del humor, alegria y generosidad de Alysia y Simon que cada día nos sorprendian con una interesante charla, una actividad o un sencillo "regalito". Resumiendo una experiencia enriquecedora y muy recomendable. Y ... me olvidaba: la comida es deliciosa!!!

I have been on two retreats now with Simon and Aly and I'm already looking forward to the next. For me it is the perfect escape from a hectic city life and always leaves a lasting effect for the weeks and months afterwards. I have been both to their home shala and the Casona de Con retreats and both are extremely tranquil and provide a great opportunity to get back to nature. The side activities like hiking, cycling, rock climbing massage and forraging only add to the whole experience. Aly and Simon are authentic and expert teachers and great ambassadors for a simpler life. Ticks all the boxes.
