THE Expansion
The bridge for teachers and dedicated practitioners ready to rise beyond their foundations. No certification required, just a strong practice. Six days above a private bay in Crete, led together by Michelle and Caterina.
A 90 sqm wooden shala, a traditional Greek sauna, and a private deck that walks you straight into turquoise water. Accommodation and all meals included.

The part of the practice nobody teaches you.
Most trainings stop where the interesting part begins. Whether you came through a 200h or simply built a strong practice over years on your own mat, the advanced work — the deep backbends, the arm balances, the inversions, the flexibility — tends to stay a mystery you're left to figure out alone.
THE Expansion picks up exactly there: a modular advanced training for practitioners and teachers who want deeper skills, stronger technique and more confidence, without committing to a full 300 hour training. We blend modern movement, advanced asana technique, and embodied personal growth into six days that change how you move, teach, breathe and relate to yourself.
You don't need a teaching certificate to join. A strong, regular practice and the willingness to work are what matter. Teachers leave with a method they can teach from; dedicated practitioners leave with a practice they finally understand from the inside.
Because real transformation doesn't happen in one leap. It unfolds in layers. You choose your level of expansion: 50h or 70h. And you're never alone in the room, both of us are there for you the whole way through.

Michelle & Caterina.
THE Expansion is ours, built and led completely together. Two teachers, two sets of eyes, one method. While one of us teaches, the other moves through the room: spotting, adjusting, answering. Most trainings this size run on one teacher. You get both of us, in every session.
Michelle
Michelle is an E-RYT 500 Vinyasa and Ashtanga teacher and the founder of Mejomi Yoga. She has guided students through numerous teacher trainings, with a strong focus on advanced asana, intelligent sequencing, hands-on assists, mobility, and embodied movement. Her teaching blends a modern understanding of the body with the depth of yoga, using precise alignment and skill-based progressions so students move with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Caterina
Caterina is a 750h+ RYT Vinyasa and Ashtanga teacher, Rocket® Yoga mentor, Exercise Science graduate and the founder of a yoga studio in Italy. After years as an artistic gymnast she moved into yoga, bringing strength, control and movement awareness with her. Her teaching is dynamic, structured and practice-oriented, built on progressive sequencing.
This is what training with us feels like.
Full days, honest effort, and more breakthroughs than you thought a week could hold. We work with precision and we laugh a lot, because both belong in an advanced practice.
You'll drill, you'll teach, you'll receive and give hands-on assists. With two of us in the room, someone is always watching your practice: adjusting, spotting, telling you the truth about what you're doing. Nobody trains unseen here.
Two modules, one method.

Ferma, Crete. A private bay to ourselves.
Crystal-clear water, authentic Greek charm, and the kind of quiet that makes deep work possible. You'll be based in the tranquil village of Ferma, at a private beachfront retreat built for both hard practice and complete rest.
A 90 sqm wooden shala
Warm wooden floors, high ceilings, doors that open onto the sea. Filled with natural light and built for exactly this: six days of drills, inversions and hands-on assists, with room to actually move.
Traditional round Greek sauna
A round stone sauna in the garden, built for exactly what an advanced training asks of a body. Heat, then the sea. Your shoulders will thank you after handstand day.
Private beach deck
Our own wooden deck on the rocks, leading straight into the turquoise water of Ferma Bay. Morning swims before practice, tea at sunset, and no one on it but us.
Panoramic Ferma Bay views
The bay is in every room, from the shala to your balcony to the breakfast table. Coffee at sunrise over the water is not a bonus here, it's just how the day starts.

THE Expansion is for you if...
- You have a strong, regular practice and want to go deeper — no teaching certificate required
- You're a 200h or 300h certified teacher who wants to confidently teach advanced asana, not just practice it
- You're preparing for a 300h, or simply craving fresh inspiration and a deeper practice
- You've hit a plateau and want real technique and progressions instead of more repetition
- You love understanding the why behind every drill, whether that's for your students or for your own body
- You want to expand mentally as much as physically, in a group of people rising together
What we look for is your practice, not your paperwork. If you're comfortable in a strong vinyasa class and curious about what comes next, you belong in the room. Unsure where you stand? Email us and ask anything, or book a free onboarding call through the application form.
