Durga's Tiger School®
Ecuador – Europe
The Durga’s Tiger Path is spiritual that for us means political: when we live fully awake – in our body, our purpose, our power – we stop outsourcing our lives. We co-create the world we want to live in.
This is Tantra for the 21st century: Grounded. Embodied. Alive.

In a world spinning faster every day, we create a path that connects old wisdom with our everyday life to be the vibrant humans we were meant to be.
The traditional roots awaken in our inherent cell memory. Offering a meditative approach to yoga, people of all ages are welcome. No previous experience is necessary.
The Kaula Tantra Yoga is a practice that can be afforded from the point where you are now and it allows you to dive into yoga, becoming aware of your limits and possibilities and working with them respectfully.
As a future teacher you learn how to bring people into awareness during the yoga practice and during life.
Applied Yogic-Tantric wisdom, arts and shamanism are tools that we use to dive into the theoretical part through experiencing the playfulness and creativity. Through dancing the dualitys we allow love to flow. We spiral lightful energy into a chaotic world, to create abundant islands where we do not have to function, but where the dignity to be a human can be lived. A world held alive for future generations.

Durga’s Tiger School is in a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by Andean’s natural beauty. And we are located in a serene paradise, away from the chaos of the city. We are safe and happy in our community – neighborhood at the Edge of the Ilaló natural reserve.
Our students are traveling to highlights like always on week ends without problems.
If you have safety questions, do not hesitate to ask us.
Here you can see a video of our our students exploring touristic places close to us, during this last year.
Are you ready to ride the Tiger?
This retreat goes beyond traditional teacher training—it’s a journey of self-discovery, personal power, and creative awakening. Open to all who feel called to joyful transformation, regardless of background, color, identity, experience or age. Whether you’re seeking growth as an individual or deeper connection as a couple, this is a space for hearts to open. Come as you are—your presence is the gift you make for yourself.
We have developed a unique holistic program, that doesn’t move from A to B, it moves in spirals so that each Tantra Yoga retreat follows an elaborate and proven energy design. This structure will guide and accompany you through a beautiful and challenging process of joyful transformation.
Wisdom is not built, it is experienced and from there we connect theory so that knowledge becomes whole.
You enter into the spiral of experience at the exact right time, there is no beginning and no end.
Like water altering its form, there are no two trainings which are the same. Teachers, practices and themes are varried so that all trainings are unique and fresh.
Which ever course you choose, a 200, 300 or 500 hours, your experience will be balanced and complete.
Iris is the energetic choreographer and director of our Yoga Teacher Training Course.
The school is a result of Iris’ life work as director, author, sound artist, theatre and film-maker. Iris has shaped the school and her life as a reflection of connection with Spirit, guided by time spent with Arts, Yogic discovery and Shamanic rituals – all parts of the Tantric path.
