Indian Yoga School PH Brings Traditional Yoga and Sustainable Living Together in Bohol

  

Set within a working permaculture farm, the Bohol programs invite participants to explore yoga beyond asana through traditional practice, yogic philosophy, intentional living, nourishing food, and a closer relationship with nature.

Indian Yoga School PH is bringing its Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) and yoga retreat to Miranalla Farm in Guindulman, Bohol this November 2026, creating an environment where participants can experience yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a more holistic way of living.

Leading the yoga program is Teacher Kirti from Rishikesh, India, a city internationally associated with the study and practice of yoga. Her approach draws from traditional yoga practice and philosophy, with an emphasis on understanding yoga beyond asana and applying its principles to everyday life.

That philosophy is also behind the choice of setting.

Rather than holding the program in a conventional studio or resort, Indian Yoga School PH is bringing the experience to Miranalla Farm, a working permaculture farm where sustainable and intentional living are part of daily life.

The November program offers participants two ways to take part: through Yoga Teacher Training or a Yoga and Permaculture Retreat.

Yoga Teacher Training

For practitioners who want to deepen their study of yoga or develop the foundations for teaching, Indian Yoga School PH will offer:

1. 30-Hour YTTC — USD 500

2. 50-Hour YTTC — USD 800

3. 100-Hour YTTC — USD 1,200

The YTTC combines Hatha yoga, meditation, breathwork, yogic philosophy, teaching principles, and other foundations of traditional yoga practice.

Yoga and Permaculture Retreat

Those who want to experience the environment without completing the teacher-training curriculum can instead join the Yoga and Permaculture Retreat, held during the same period as the YTTC.

Retreat participants will share parts of the daily practice with YTTC students, including asana and meditation sessions led by Teacher Kirti, while following an experience centered more closely on permaculture, sustainable living, nature, and life on the farm.

This shared format allows both groups to become part of the same community while choosing the level and type of study that suits them.

For retreat participants, the experience offers an introduction to traditional yoga without the requirements of teacher training. For YTTC students, practicing within a working permaculture farm provides a setting where the philosophical aspects of yoga can extend beyond scheduled classes.

Throughout the program, Miranalla Farm becomes part of the learning environment. Participants can experience farm-based living, fresh meals, natural surroundings, and practical exposure to permaculture while becoming more conscious of how they move, eat, rest, consume, and interact with their surroundings.

The combination reflects a shared principle between traditional yoga and permaculture: living with greater awareness of the relationship between the individual, the community, and the environment.

farm, Indian Yoga School PH aims to create an experience where yoga can be practiced not simply as a series of postures, but as part of everyday life.

The Indian Yoga School PH Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga and Permaculture Retreat will be held at Miranalla Farm in Guindulman, Bohol in November 2026.

Casino Plus and Peter & Sons Unite to Bring World-Class Gaming to Filipino Players


 Cementing its position as the country's leading responsible digital entertainment platform, Casino Plus, licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), has announced a strategic content partnership with acclaimed international game studio Peter & Sons.

Through this collaboration, Casino Plus is bringing selected titles from the Yerevan and Barcelona-based studio directly to players across the Philippines, further enriching its robust, mobile-driven gaming ecosystem with distinctive global content.

As one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic regulated gaming markets, the Philippines demands platforms that understand local player sensibilities. Guided by its core value of being customer-centric, Casino Plus rigorously curates its library, selecting games that match the pace, preferences, and vibrant culture of the Filipino player.

"Everything we do starts with one purpose: Bring Fun to People — and at the center of that purpose is always the player," said Evan Spytma, CEO of Casino Plus. 

"We are deliberate about what we bring to our platform. Culture fit matters to us; a game has to feel right for our audience, not just perform well on paper. Peter & Sons understood that immediately. Their titles carry a creative identity that is rare in this industry, and bringing them to Casino Plus is a direct expression of our commitment to excellence,” added Spytma.

"We are very pleased to go live with Casino Plus and bring Peter & Sons games to players in the Philippines. This is an exciting market for us — a strong entertainment culture, players who respond to games with clear identity, rich visuals, and memorable mechanics. Casino Plus has built a powerful local presence, and we are proud to work with their team as we introduce our portfolio to a new audience in one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic regulated gaming markets," said Yann Bautista, Founder and Commercial Director of Peter & Sons.

The rollout will follow a progressive integration schedule. Casino Plus players will gain access to an expanding catalog of Peter & Sons titles over the coming months, deepening through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. Both companies also plan to introduce co-branded campaigns and exclusive titles tailored specifically for the Filipino market as the partnership evolves.

Casino Plus remains steadfast in its mission to deliver world-class digital entertainment to every Filipino player—responsibly, deliberately, and always placing the player first.
