Your Lead Teachers

What makes this training truly unique are your lead teachers, David and Pascalle. Both are highly trained, professional, and deeply dedicated to guiding students with integrity and care. Together they bring a wealth of experience from years of study and teaching across the globe, combining the depth of Eastern traditional yoga with the creativity and intelligence of modern movement practices.

This blend allows you not only to root yourself in the wisdom and philosophy of yoga, but also to explore contemporary approaches to alignment, strength, and mobility — making your teaching both authentic and relevant in today’s world. With David and Pascalle you’ll experience the best of both traditions: ancient teachings infused with modern embodiment.

David is also a handstand and inversion expert, having dedicated countless hours to his own training and leading numerous workshops worldwide. His playful yet technical approach makes these advanced practices accessible, safe, and inspiring.

But there is more:

You’ll learn anatomy and yoga philosophy from highly skilled guest teachers, ensuring you get the best guidance in each field.

  • The hybrid structure means you can study anatomy and philosophy online, at your own pace (from mid December'25 to the start of the training), leaving the immersion free for practice, teaching, and community — so you can fully enjoy the island experience.

  • You’ll receive individualized attention in small group settings, with live feedback, practice teaching, and mentoring.

  • Dryft Camp itself is part of the magic: eco-conscious living, nourishing food, and the ocean right outside your door.

  • The training is not just about techniques — it’s a transformational journey of personal growth, helping you step into your confidence and authentic voice.

This is more than a teacher training. It’s an invitation to live, breathe, and share yoga on a remote paradise island — a journey that will stay with you for life.

Morning Flow: Wake up with energizing vinyasa practices by the beach—strengthening, opening, and aligning your body.

Evening Practice: Wind down with restorative flows, yin yoga, or guided meditation to integrate the day.

Island Adventures

Outside of yoga, you’ll have the chance to join a variety of optional activities, designed to nourish your body, mind, and soul:

-Island hopping through turquoise waters and hidden lagoons

-Snorkeling and diving with vibrant marine life

-Beach sports, hikes, and playful movement sessions

-Live music nights under the stars with bonfires and dancing

-Healing ceremonies, sound baths, and breathwork journeys

Community & Connection

You’ll be immersed in an inspiring global community of seekers, movers, and (new) yoga teachers. Share meals, stories, and laughter with like-minded souls while being surrounded by some of the world’s most stunning nature.

Time for You

Whether you crave adventure or rest, you’ll have space to honor your needs—read a book by the sea, join an excursion, or simply nap in a hammock with the ocean as your soundtrack.
