The Art of teaching yoga : 200h Hatha Vinyasa yoga teacher training with Nico Luce

The Art of teaching yoga : 200h Hatha Vinyasa yoga teacher training with Nico Luce

Beginning 11 décembre 2025Duration Dec 2025-May 2026Cost CHF 4'500.-

This yoga teacher training with Nico Luce consists of six modules of four days: five at Nueva luna yoga in Lausanne, and one at Occitania Retreats in France

This training is a complete and progressive learning experience that deepens student’s knowledge and builds a solid foundation for a working yoga teacher, in each of these fields of study: 

  • anatomy & physiology

  • asana & sequencing

  • teaching methodology

  • pranayama & meditation

  • energetics

  • history & philosophy

  • sanskrit terminology & mantra

  • ethics and the business of yoga

With a scope both deep and wide, this program fosters the growth of both the student and teacher in you through ample exploratory, integrated learning, and practice teaching.  

My mission is to prepare you to develop safe and sensible yoga classes for all levels of studentship. In this training, you will learn to artfully create a sequence and teach asana skillfully, to accurately observe students’ bodies, assist them into optimally aligned asana through the use of words, basic hands-on adjustments, modifications and the use of props. An in depth study of functional anatomy and physiology will form the basis for understanding how to instruct each asana and create a sound sequence.

I believe a deeper understanding of yoga and how to teach asana comes from a consistent commitment to your personal practice, and your practice will become a well-spring of resources and inspiration for you as a teacher. As such, asana, bio-mechanics and sequencing are at the core of this training. With Asana Labs and Practice Teaching sessions on a regular basis, you will deepen your knowledge of the bio-mechanics of yoga and develop communication skills to transmit this knowledge to your own students.

Prerequisites

The nature of this training schedule requires participants to fully immerse themselves in the study and practice yoga. Participants should be sincerely interested and ready to study earnestly. You need to be in good health and able to move free of pain. As such, I recommend a regular yoga practice of at least one year prior to this training. This training may be taken to deepen your own knowledge, with or without the intention to teach.

This training is certified by Yoga alliance. YA standards form the foundation of each Registered Yoga School RYS credential and set the ethical and educational framework for yoga providers.

Occitania Retreats, the location of the last module of the training is a stunning yoga retreat center founded by Nico and wife Chloé in a beautifully renovated castle in Haute-Garonne, 1 hour from Toulouse international airport. Château Rieucazé is nestled at the top of a hill, offering a breathtaking view of the mountain Pyrenées.

The property is surrounded by a four hectare park designed under different themes: French-style, English-style, Exotic and Mediterranean gardens; a large pond where koi carp and swans swim, a heated salt water pool, a handmade mosaic Hammam and a large greenhouse that allows the preservation of exotic plants and delicate shrubs.

Students will spend the last 4 days of the training in May 2026. Accomodation and meals are included in the price of the training. 

Nico is a 500 hour certified yogi and international trainer who has been teaching yoga since 2003, and is himself committed to never ending the journey of learning

His love for Eastern philosophy, spirituality and anatomy are all weaved skilfully into his teaching; his style is eclectic, drawing on his study with some of the top teachers in Hatha, Anusara, Vinyasa, Yin and Power Yoga and Pilates. Yet grounded in reality, yoga, in his view is not separate from life but rather constitutive of it, and draws from everyday experiences to realize the practice’s potential.

An avid story teller, philosopher, traveller and mover, Nico has spent much of his life in pursuit of the extra ordinary; from intrepid travels through India, acting stints and a successful yoga studio ownership, he has spent much of his life seeking a way to embrace this life with each breath, one breath at a time. Living life to its fullest potential is to live with vibrancy, adventure and zest.

By bringing to life the ancient teachings of yoga, Nico’s goal is to take you on a powerful transformational journey which will have you seeking the answers to your questions and challenging the way you view your life, inviting you to look inside, to never stop asking the questions and to be brave, to remain open, and to take a chance on yourself.

You can find Nico studying at his home in Switzerland, teaching & gardening at Occitania Retreats in the South of France, or travelling to the corners of the globe sharing his teachings in a humble and honest way.

You can practice with him on Gaïa

The Yoga Teacher's Training with Nico Luce was a journey of truly deep inner and outer transformation. I feel eternally grateful for this experience. Nico brings together an incredibly rich and diverse set of powerful practices and insights, going into dynamic asana yoga flow, breathing and meditation, philosophy and history of spirituality, anatomy, teaching methodology as well as yin relaxation. Nico is a natural and inspiring story-teller who supports his students to find their voice and inner light. He is also a skillful facilitator able to hold the space for the group as a circle of trust for all the individual and collective emotions that emerge during the training. ELISE B.
Participating in Nico's YTT has been a truly transformative experience. He is such an inspiring teacher, whose depth of knowledge in yoga philosophy, anatomy, history, and teaching methodology is matched only by the wisdom and heart with which he shares it. Every moment of this training has been rich, profound and deeply nourishing, far beyond anything I could have expected. Nico’s unique pedagogy and his empowering feedback approach are true gifts. His way of guiding us — with intelligence, sensitivity, and unwavering support — allowed for real growth, both as future teachers and as human beings. This training was not just about learning how to teach yoga; it was a journey into self-reflection, authenticity, and transformation. The intelligence, elegance, and presence Nico brings to every aspect of the training created an environment of true inspiration. I am profoundly grateful for this experience and for the lasting imprint it has left on me, both on and off the mat. PAOLA M.
I am extremely grateful and satisfied with this YTT. Nico shared his knowledge with a unique combination of precision and passion. Throughout the course, we explored essential topics such as history, philosophy, and anatomy of yoga, but what truly made this training special is Nico's human approach. Thanks to his support and pedagogy, the Teacher Training was not just a deepening of yoga practice, but a true journey of personal growth that goes far beyond just technique. He creates a warm and magical environment within the group. He listened attentively and supported each of our individual needs, allowing us to grow both as practitioners and as individuals. I particularly appreciated the structure of the training (six months), which allowed us the necessary space to practice and apply what we had discussed between each module. This approach allowed us to naturally integrate what we were learning, with a constant development of our understanding and skills. MORGANA
