WHERE CAN I STAY DURING THE TRAINING?

The Basque Country is a beautiful part of the world, and we recommend staying close by the BloomYoga studio for your convenience. The closest places to stay would be in Bayonne centre, or if you prefer to be by the beach you can also stay in Biarritz or Anglet. The most affordable accommodation will be with AirBnb, but there are also a number of cheap hotels nearby if you prefer.
For the Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Toulouse, the training will take place in the Ô Pilates&co studio, in Toulouse centre (just 5 minutes walk from Palais de Justice Metro), France. The closest places to stay would be in Toulouse centre, preferably close to a metro station. The most affordable accommodation will be with AirBnb, and there are a number of cheap options close to the studio itself.
WHAT WILL THE 200H YOGA TEACHER TRAINING INVOLVE?
The Part-time Yoga Teacher Training will be split into 2 main sections; there will be The Introductory Week where you will spend one intense week at the studio, learning the foundations of the bulk of the training curriculum. Following that, the training will be resumed for one weekend per month (Saturday and Sunday) for a period of 7 months. These weekends will start on the Saturday morning, and finish on the Sunday evening. The training will involve a mixture of asana, lectures, and practicum.

AT THE END OF THE TRAINING, WHAT SORT OF CERTIFICATION WILL I RECEIVE?

WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY/TOULOUSE?
Both the Basque Country and Toulouse pretty much follow the seasons in terms of weather, but it’s good to be prepared for all weathers! In August it’s generally very hot, but in winter it gets very cold, especially in Toulouse! From January till March it changes by the day! As mentioned, it’s good to be prepared for everything!
WHAT KIND OF FOOD IS AVAILABLE?
Bayonne is a small town, but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants around so you will have lots of choice! If you’re vegetarian, there are still plenty of options but be warned if you’re vegan.. There are not many vegan options, so we’d recommend getting a self-catering apartment so you can prepare your own food.
Toulouse has many options for both vegans and vegetarians (and non-vegetarians!). There are many cafes and restaurants a short walk away from the studio.
ARE YOGA MATS AND EQUIPMENT PROVIDED?
Yes all yoga material will be provided by BloomYoga.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COST?
Cost includes tuition, a manual and all materials, and students of the 200hr Yoga Teacher Training can also enjoy free classes at BloomYoga Studio 1 week before and after the training (including the 2 day weekend trainings).

BloomYoga recommends being comprehensively insured to cover all costs and consequences of medical treatment, repatriation, damage/theft/loss of personal belongings, recovery of course fees and flights booked in the event of cancellation or early departure.
WHAT ARE THE CHEAPEST WAYS TO TRAVEL THERE?
If you’re flying within Europe, there are EasyJet and Ryanair flights that fly directly into Biarritz and Toulouse airports. Flights into Bordeauxand Bilbao are also not too far. If you’re flying from outside the EU, you can catch a flight into Paris, and then look into a cheap flight with HOP or Ryanair into Biarritz or Toulouse. A SNCF train from Paris to Bayonne/Toulouse is also easy, and not too expensive. Travel within France is very affordable.
