I really loved this teacher training! Carmen and Eugen are very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve learned a lot from them! We were with a small group of students and because of that we became very close in the 3 weeks that we’ve spent together. The house, yoga shala and surroundings (lagoon, sea, forest) are so beautiful. It is a special place! But it’s also a very busy program with not a lot of free time. This training will cover a lot of yoga philosophy, so if you’re less interested in that, this might not be the training for you. I’m very grateful for everything that I’ve learned and that I’m a yoga teacher now because of Carmen and Eugen 🙂 Thank you!

My review is very late due to a lot of personal life stressors that happened right after completing my training. But I cant say enough good things about this experience!! I learned a ton throughout my 3 weeks / 200 training. Carmen and Eugene were lovely people and so knowledgeable about yoga, mindfulness, meditation, anatomy and history of yoga. Their home was beautiful. I was in a small group with only 1 other girl (which I believe is rare) but it made the experience much more special and interactive. We were able to get a lot of individualized attention and ask a lot of questions. The schedule was great you would have class all morning and then free time in the afternoons to study and relax. We walked to the beach in 10 mins easily. The location was beautiful and I loved swimming in the lagoon and ocean. It was peaceful and beautiful place to spend 3 weeks. On free days off we were able to easily get Ubers into Lisbon to explore. I liked how authentic this experience was as western yoga is less focused on energy and chakras which is the foundation of yoga so it was very interesting to learn about and incorporate into my own practice. The food was also amazing. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of yoga and become a yoga teacher! I am so grateful for this experience and would love to come back and visit one day!

I had a wonderful experience at Sundari Integral Yoga School. Carmen and Eugen genuinely care about their students and made us feel at home from the moment of our arrival. They are highly knowledgeable and passionate about yoga, offering a well-rounded curriculum that combines physical practice, philosophy, and mindfulness. Every day we learned how to integrate yoga principles not just on the mat but in our daily lives off the mat as well. I left feeling more connected to myself and inspired to continue my yoga journey. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a transformative experience!

A beautiful and enlightening experience which I will cherish for my entire yoga journey. Thank you for the opportunity to study under your roof!

Extremely knowledgeable and kind teachers who provide a comprehensive overview of integral yoga, yoga philosophy, and deeper understanding of 8 limbs of yoga. Focus on hatha yoga, and curriculum is complemented with learnings from daoyin philosophy and traditional chinese medicine as well. Beautiful and peaceful location. Unforgettable experience.

From a young age I have always been interested in how movement affects us emotionally and spiritually. I always danced a lot, and later on this hobby turned into a goal to become a yoga professional. Sundari Integral Yoga School gave me the all information to get started in my yoga teaching journey and fulfil this goal of mine; but most importantly, Carmen and Eugen instigated curiosity to learn more and motivated me to integrate yoga in my own life. I can recommend this training to anyone that feels open-minded, motivated, and curious to learn!

The YTTC at Sundari Integral Yoga School was profoundly healing and empowering. Carmen and Eugen teach with immense knowledge, love, and light, covering all physical, mental, and spiritual levels. The course beautifully integrates the traditions and philosophy of yoga. I absolutely adored my time here and can only recommend it to anyone seeking a transformative experience. It thoroughly prepares you to become a confident and knowledgeable yoga teacher.

Can’t be thankful enough. Carmen and Eugene shared their knowledge with us, making our stay a magical moment of our lifes.

I attended the October 2023 3-week intensive YTTC at Sundari in Lagoa de Albufeira. I decided to attend this course because it was relatively affordable compared to other programs in Canada (where I am from) or elsewhere. I took this course with the goal of becoming a yoga teacher and after completing the training I feel well equipped to begin this journey. Overall, I had a great experience there and I am happy to have attended. The accommodations, food, yoga Shala, and location were all lovely and contributed greatly to being in the right state of mind for the material being taught. -The accommodation was perfect, everything was provided, even extra blankets for the cold nights. -The food was freshly cooked vegetarian and vegan food- Carmen and Eugen kindly made sure all diets were accommodated for and that we were all getting proper nutrition. -The yoga Shala was beautiful and peaceful; however, it did flood multiple times during the YTTC due to heavy rains-but this just helped us to practice Santosha :). -The location in Lagoa de Albufeira was amazing as well. I enjoyed walking and running through the town, forest, and beach during my free time. Getting an uber to and from the location from Lisbon and Sesimbra was quite easy. The town is quite small though and doesn’t have a grocery store or pharmacy or anything-which was fine for me but perhaps something to consider. I found that Carmen and Eugen provided everything we needed so it was no problem. The course itself was very intense with a lot of material being covered every day. We were given lots of breaks throughout the day though, and Carmen was very open to accommodating the schedule to how we were feeling. Carmen was also great at answering any questions we had. After completing this training, I feel like I have a great base of knowledge to start my teaching journey. For the physical practice I would also note that this is specifically an Integral Yoga training, so we did not learn the typical “flows” of a Western yoga class, aside from Sun Salutation. The focus of this type of yoga training is more based on holding poses for longer periods of time and feeling their effects before continuing to a new pose. Thank you so much to the beautiful Carmen and Eugen for making this such a wonderful and transformative experience.

This was a life experience that surpassed my expectations by the way the course was delivered and opening my mind to an evolutive system of Yoga that integrates body, mind and spirit, inside and outside the Yoga mat. This journey had loads of remarkable moments that evidenced the passion and commitment of the teachers to transmit the best knowledge and experience with all their hearts to their students. Communicative, approachable and dedicated, they always took in consideration the students wellbeing and progression during the entire duration of the course and stay. This course gave me great foundations to better understand Yoga philosophy, as well as practice and tools necessary to evolve and be a Yoga teacher. I can only recommend this thorough and passionate course, where can give you a pure and comprehensive experience in Yoga discipline and philosophy, as well as transform you in a Yoga teacher. Thank you Carmen and Eugen 😊

Estoy muy feliz de haber conocido esta escuela de yoga, las personas que la dirigen ponen mucha energía para que todos pudiéramos disfrutar de sus enseñanzas y gran conocimiento sobre cómo enseñar a otros. Un fuerte abrazo a todos ellos

I had a very nice experience. Walked away with a new found appreciation for meditating and am excited to continue learning about yoga as an instructor. Nice structure and helpful teachers, thank you

The Sundari Integral Yoga School YTTC was a very complete program. Carmen and Eugen are both extremely kind and the aspects of knowledge they shared during the course embodied the various aspects of the philosophy of yoga, its history, and how to be a conscious teacher and continue one’s own evolution.

The YTTC of the Sundari School is very authentic and well-founded. The training is very comprehensive. We got to know the different facets of the yoga philosophy and were able to learn a lot during the three weeks. The school is located in a beautiful and powerful place. It was perfect to immerse ourselves in the yoga philosophy. The yoga teachers have an extremely profound knowledge, which they pass on to their students in an inspiring way.

I am more than happy and satisfied with this TTC. I learned much more than I expected about the philosophy of yoga and about myself. I recommend this course more than once 🙂 Thank you again Carmen, Eugen and Theresa for your hospitality, kindness and professionalism

Sundari Integral Yoga School follows the traditional Yoga teachings found in the Sutras of Patanjali. The enthusiastic and inspiring teachers Carmen and Eugen bring deep knowledge and practice to the students who are interested and aware that Yoga is a living science and not a simple sport…. the ancient Yoga philosophy and traditional practice of more then 50 Asanas is thaught as well as the profound and health increasing knowledge of Chakras, their gifts and energizing aspects and their links to healthy physiology. In addition meditation and pranayama is taught as handed down from traditional teachings. The small Sundari Yoga School is beautifully nestled near the Lagoon of Albufeira one hour south of Lisboa. I can highly recommend this course to people who truly want to become a yoga teacher and are open minded and aware to ancient traditional teachings of Yoga and their gifts especially keeping healthy and balanced in the busy and mind focused life of modern societies.

Very good teaching and deep understanding of yoga. absolutely recommend this class!

I appreciated a lot that it took place despite all the difficult restrictions with covid and although we were just two students they run the training! This was excellent and we could practice a lot outside and the teacher could share her huge knowledge with us one by one.

I am so blessed to have found Sundari Integral Yoga School for my training, the whole experience has been so transformative and both Carmen and Eugen were very knowledgeable and professional as well as caring and loving! By far the best yoga I have ever experienced and the energy created in the classes is unmatched! Carmen’s way of teaching is genius and she has the patience of a saint! From this experience I have been inspired to create better habits, become who I really am and to fully love and accept myself. I’m so excited to spread the light and love experienced on this course. I felt at home immediately and I honestly would do the course again. A few months on from completing the course and I still think about the experience everyday and all I’ve learnt. I would recommend this school to everyone wholeheartedly, especially for those interested in the spiritual aspect of yoga and meditation! I signed up to heal myself, to handle my stress and anxieties and deepen my own practice and in the process realised that I love teaching it too thanks to the supportive environment. The Ayurvedic chef was absolutely amazing and the food was incredible everyday. I have made life long friends from this and I am so grateful to Carmen and Eugen everyday for running this course in the unique and loving way that they do. The accommodation was exceptional and I just loved every second of it. Great value for a priceless experience!

This experience has changed my life in so many positive ways The teaching was amazing, very professional, so much information and Carmen’s knowledge is outstanding but the most important aspect of her teaching is that it all comes from within. She has so much patience and love for her students that it shines from her. I only have great things to say about this school and the location was perfect I would fully recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn and teach a prue spiritual yoga based on the classic yoga teachings

The Sundari Integral School of Yoga provided a wonderful foundation for my yoga career. I received every element I need to be successful on my own as a teacher – including a 500 page textbook, and intimate lessons and teachings about the authentic practice of yoga (asanas, pranayamas, meditations, relaxations, & concentration techniques). We were pushed to teach our own classes to the group, and we had a thorough exam administered at the end. Carmen and Eugene are both scholars in their practice and teachings, however they also went out of their way to introduce you to their friends and community, even setting up fun events during the off hours. I gained so much more than just a certificate, and highly recommend this course to the Yoga Alliance community.

Sundari Center – Funchal. Sundari Integral Yoga School. Dear Carmen and Team. My teachers Carmen and Eugen. Obrigado sua paciência e paixão It was a journey, in a magic island, Madeira. In the middle of the Atlantic ocean. I had an intensive program. It was as smooth as it was intense. Each day, more and more deep, basic, source intelligence was flowing and floating. Beachfront studio. Endless sunrises, sunsets. All the elements created a sense that i am at home. One hundred percent this training helped me to be fully equiped teacher. Recommended for a well understood, right perception of Yoga.

Greatly in depth course and yoga teacher training manual. Lovely hosts and beautiful location. Slightly unorganised due to covid restrictions as to be expected at the moment but over all a great experience!

This training was the first for me and full of emotions. It was amazing to train in the garden in front of the ocean. The teacher, Carmen is a great woman and loves yoga and teaching. That’s why the course was clear and understable. She demonstrated all the asana and explained how to be correctly align. Also, we talked a lot about the yoga philosophy, life style and energies. The only thing I missed was about anatomy but it was my first training and I will continue to learn so.

Great experience. The teachers explained us the true basis of yoga. The true sense of practising it.

I’m grateful to had the chance to graduate in the Sundari Integral Yoga school. The program is well done and teachers are very supportive, and adapt themselves with our wishes. I really recommend this place for poeple who start their journey as a yoga teacher.

It was a great experienced that allowed me to grow both physically and mentally. It is just the very start of my journey. I am glad that I have completed my teachers’ training at Sundari Integral Yoga school, I feel like I have all tools to build up a beautiful future.

The Sundari Integral Yoga School was an amazing experience. Beside the covid time, Carmen and Eugene did their best to share their passion and knowledge. They are a real source of inspiration. As described, the course was very complete talking about, among others, the asanas, breathing techniques, meditation, anatomy and yoga life-style… However, due to the current health situation, the usual hall was closed so we had another one, 30min walk from the place we were staying at. The commute was not a problem at all, and the studio was very nice, but it was interfering a little with the class organisation. Except form this point, the training was truly both personally, and professionally enriching. Thank you so much Carmen and Eugene for this wonderful adventure.

My experience with Sundari Integral Yoga School was very positive and I would recommend anyone, who is interested in becoming a Yoga teacher to take part of the YTTC there. Carmen and Eugen are extremely committed to develop a great experience for everyone involved in the training as well as submit a huge amount of knowledge in such an interesting way, that you become even more curious to further study the subjects by yourself. As a student, I had the chance to not only gain insights into the Yoga philosophy, techniques and anatomy, but also to be part of a great community and observe how my teacher Carmen incorporates Yoga in all aspects of her life. After the completion of the course, I feel equipped with all basic knowledge and materials to further evolve in my journey as a Yoga teacher and gained an ongoing support from an amazing teacher for my future.

EXCELLENT TEACHING OF THE COURSE , PROFESSIONAL, INCLUSIVE, PERSONALISED AND THE HOLISTIC APPROACH OF BODY, MIND AND SOUL WELLBEING WAS EVIDENT THROUGHOUT THE 3 WEEKS. THE SMALLER CLASSES ARE IDEAL FOR BEGINNERS AND YOU GET ALMOST 1-1 PERSONAL COACHING.

The TTC program at Sundari Integral Yoga School was a life changing experience! First of all, it allowed me to really connect and improve my daily yoga practice and secondly, gave me all the necessary tools to pass on that information as a yoga teacher. The teachers are very professional, kind and knowledgeable with many years of experience and yoga practice. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in following a yoga and spiritual path.

Sundari Integral Yoga School provides a very serious yoga training! I am so grateful for this profound teachings that gave me very strong basics to start teaching myself. The teachers of this school are very professional and kind transmitting among the teachings deep wisdom. I am forever grateful especially to Carmen Mitroi who I consider as my spiritual teacher. I recommend from the bottom of my heart this training.

The training I received at Sundari Integral Yoga School was comprehensive and thorough, fully preparing me to teach yoga safely, to a diverse population and in an inspiring, connected and thoughtful way. The teaching was more than just instruction – it was a beautiful foundation and basis for a life rooted in yoga and its spiritual teachings. Additionally, Carmen Mitroi is an absolute gem of a teacher and mentor. Her integrity, knowledge, experience and teaching style was a gift in and of itself. I highly recommend Sundari to any aspiring student or teacher continuing their education.

The entire Sundari Integral Yoga school team was extremely professional and dedicated in the process of training their students. I recommend this institution to all those who wish to take this training from interested professionals and extremely professional and passionate about what they do.

This was an excellent choice to do Yoga TTC with Sundari Yoga School in Funchal.

Amazing experience, Carmen and Eugen are beautiful people and I would recommend the course to anyone 🙂

I had a wonderful time with with Sundari Integral Yoga School. The teachers put so much effort and passion into our training. Thank you so much!

The teachers have great knowledge and were eager to share with their students. The contents of the schedule were comprehensive, there were a lot of possibilities to practice teaching and get feedback. The manual provided a lot of useful information. The course is designed to provide a comprehensive approach and understanding of yoga. Moreover the teachers were able to respond to each student‘s needs and change the schedule as needed. Also outside of the schedule they took great care of the students that they were comfortable at the accomodation etc. and also made excursions on free days. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand yoga and who is eager to learn a lot in a comprehensive, yet challenging schedule.

Sundari Integral Yoga School provides an excellent course with a very complex and detailed manual. The teachers are highly skilled and experienced, very supportive towards their students. This is an ideal course for those who wants to gain in-depth knowledge in all aspects of traditional yoga. The location and the program is magnificent, also very well organized. Every student is looked after and cared for in every possible matter. I would highly recommend Sundari Integral Yoga School.

The three weeks of training was a life-changing experience for me. During the private sessions with Carmen and Eugen, I learned exactly what I needed to take my yoga practice to the next level. The manual they wrote is very useful, with pictures and clear explanations. The yoga community they built in Madeira is really inspiring.

The yoga teacher training at Sundari Integral Yoga School was an absolutely amazing experience – I am so glad I was able to be a part of it! The massive amount of theoretical and practical knowledge that Carmen shared with us in her lovely way has both taken my personal yoga practice to a whole new level and given me the desire and confidence to teach and share that information with others.

Sundari Integral Yoga School was an excellent and inspired choice when I embarked on this journey. The programme is extremely well balanced between poses (asanas), meditation and profound philosophical concepts of life and consciousness. Carmen is a shining example of excellent instructional skills and genuine love for yoga, what she does, and her thoughtful care for each of her students. Besides being an experienced yoga teacher with more than 25 years she is a trained psychologist in the educational processes and it definitely shows. I learned a lot and, moreover, I loved every step of my transformational journey in the Yoga Teacher programme with her and I would warmly recommend Sundari Integral Yoga School to anyone with an aspiration to learn and teach yoga.

Taking the Yoga teachers training was a very positive experience for me, in which I was able to deepen my knowledge. It was even better to do so with Master Carmen Prema Mitroi, my Yoga Classes teacher, a fascinating woman who transmitted, in an authentic way, the teachings of this ancient ancestral philosophy that is Yoga. Now that I have begun this journey, it is my duty to teach with true responsibility and with all my heart. To my great master, thank you for your dedication. Always your student, Raquel
