Our past trainees have benefited from this program design and we are pleased to continue with this offering.
For the first portion of this training, the participants met with instructors Irum and Maria twice a week online. Each class took place in the evening and was approximately 2.5 hours long. Sessions were recorded so we could easily catch up on missed classes or rewatch classes for studying purposes.
It was clear from day one, once we arrived in Costa Rica, that our online sessions had thoroughly prepared us for the in-person portion. Everything we had been taught about asanas came together seamlessly as we worked with each other to build our sequences.
I can’t say enough about Irum and Maria personally and professionally. They made a fantastic team, and I not only learned a lot from both of them, I also greatly enjoyed our time together. ~ Rhiannon~
Learn - Take this opportunity to train with teachers who will share the lineage of yoga. The curriculum is registered with Yoga Alliance, and is based on Raja and Hatha yoga. Learn asana techniques, teaching methodology, functional anatomy, pranayama, lifestyles and philosophy. Our discourse in yoga philosophy, using the template of the yoga sutras (aphorisms) as of Sri Patanjali, helps in contextualizing yoga to our life and daily living.
Costa Rica - Come and immerse yourself for two weeks.
The training will help you to learn and feel yoga in your body as you learn how to teach it safely to others. After completing the training you will be given a 200 hour completion certificate, which can be registered with Yoga Alliance as a RYT200 yoga teacher.
