200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN COSTA RICA
A Yoga Alliance certification course in Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin Yoga

Discover it all
Exploring aspects of yin and yang yoga, you’ll discover how to both fire the body up and how to slow it down. Practicing anatomically-informed hatha and vinyasa flow each morning and restorative and yin yoga each evening, you’ll explore these complementary practices and all the elements necessary to be able to confidently teach both.

Gain confidence
Extensive study of asana, alignment, anatomy, assists and adjustments, the philosophy and history of yoga, teaching methodology, intelligent sequencing, and the business of yoga will prepare you to teach with confidence and poise. You'll learn a multidisciplinary approach so that you can graduate with the ability to effectively teach multiple styles of yoga and meditation.

Go deeper
Whether you’re looking to deepen your personal practice or to teach professionally, this YTT will provide you with everything you need to take your yoga to the next level. This yoga teacher training is designed to move you deeper into your own personal practice while simultaneously preparing you to offer your teachings to the world.
