Spanda Institute (formerly Sangha Om Yoga School and Spanda Vinyasa Yoga School) is an International Yoga Institute offering programs in Europe (Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia etc.), Sri Lanka and India. We also provide online education either live via zoom or through our Spanda Online education platform. Through our 200-hour, 300-hour and Prenatal YTTC, we have certified hundreds of Yoga Teachers worldwide.

Our Yoga programs are based on the comprehensive Spanda Yoga Method created by the Institute's founder Nina Vukas (E-RYT 500, RPYT, IAYT) and enriched by our proficient faculty. The method is based on the latest understanding of Functional Movement, Biomechanics and Physiology. We intend to integrate ancient wisdom and modern science, finding their meeting points. Consequently, our approach is multidisciplinary; rooted in Tantric and Hatha Yoga teachings, Classical Yoga Philosophy and Ayurveda, and sciences such as Anatomy & Physiology, Biomechanics, Neuroscience and Psychology. Regarding the History and Tradition of Yoga, we teach in a non-dogmatic, research-informed way.

Our teachings are based on Nature's cycles, supporting the gentle unfolding of our body/mind. For us, Yoga is an art of healing and flowing with the creative pulse of everything (Spanda). We believe that Yoga is for everybody, but not the same Yoga is for everybody, so we have developed different sequences to serve the needs of each individual. Once our students leave the 200-hour training, they can teach themed sequences adjusted to the group (beginners, intermediate, advanced) and the day/month/seasonal cycle. 

All of our Teacher Trainers have been trained in a Trauma Sensitive Yoga approach to teaching, and our in-person Teacher Training groups are small, giving a lot of individual intention. Once our students receive their diplomas, we stay connected and help them on their Yoga Teacher journey.  

We are committed to sustainability; our events are carbon neutral. Through our Yogis4Future initiative, we are offseting carbon by planting trees and helping local communities. Lean more

I could not have chosen a better yoga teacher training to start this beautiful journey. The Spanda Vinyasa Method is so well structured, the perfect combination of wisdom and science. The amazing teachers provided all the tools to come out of the training and start to teach right away, using a sequencing method based on understanding the physical and subtle body. I highly recommend, anyone who chooses yoga as a path, to grow and learn from Spanda Institute. Full Review

Title: Exceptional Yoga School Experience at Spanda Institute I recently completed multiple training programs at Spanda Institute, including the 200-hour yoga teacher training, prenatal teacher training, 300-hour yoga teacher training, and the Trauma-Sensitive yoga course - Safe Space. My overall experience has been incredibly positive, and I am eager to share my thoughts on this outstanding yoga school. First and foremost, I must commend the professionalism exhibited at every level of the Spanda Institute. From the administration to the instructors, there is a consistent commitment to maintaining high standards. The training programs are thoughtfully structured, offering a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. The diversity of training options at Spanda Institute allowed me to deepen my understanding of yoga in various aspects. Whether it was the foundational 200-hour program, specialized prenatal training, advanced 300-hour teacher training, or the Trauma-Sensitive yoga course, each course contributed significantly to my growth as a yogi and aspiring instructor. The curriculum was well-designed, covering both theoretical and practical aspects with a focus on holistic development. What sets Spanda Institute apart is the genuine dedication and passion displayed by the faculty members. While I may not know all of them personally, those I have interacted with are exceptional individuals who go above and beyond to create a positive and supportive learning environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Spanda Institute to anyone seeking a transformative and authentic yoga education. The professionalism, diverse course offerings, and passionate faculty members make it a standout choice for those looking to deepen their practice or pursue a career in yoga instruction. My journey at Spanda Institute has been nothing short of inspiring, and I am grateful for the invaluable knowledge and skills I've gained. If you're considering a yoga school, look no further—Spanda Institute is a truly exceptional choice. Full Review
