Details of this retreat

TEACHER TRAINING

Nereus School of Yoga offers an enriching program of professional teaching qualifications. Join us to deepen your journey and inspire others in a transformative path of wellness.

RYT200 

This training will cover the styles of hatha and vinyasa within the raja yoga system, with the goal of giving new teachers the tools and confidence to deliver a thoughtful and safe class rooted in authenticity. A large focus on cueing, sequencing and inclusivity will be the base, giving students the knowledge of how to modify a practice for any body and contraindication. We believe that yoga should be accessible to everyone and this encompasses the use of inclusive language, both in English and Sanskrit. Students will cover classical sequencing styles and concepts and be expected to teach classes to ensure a good foundation and confidence is established. Conversations and bhakti practices will round out days with all things mantra and mythology. We aim to offer a robust, holistic yoga teacher training program with strong ties to Ayurveda, a thorough understanding of Patanjali’s Eight Limbs, knowledge of his Yoga Sutras and a general understanding of yoga’s sister science, Ayurveda. 

Teaching will be overseen by our lead instructor, Michelle Garcia, ERYT500, and provided by her and our team. Our program format for our RYT200 yoga teacher training is a residential 20-day/19-night immersion at our retreat location in Puerto Jiménez, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Students will also have access to our online educational platform for additional digital content and supplementary materials.

Magical and transformative
I completed my 200hr YTT at Nereus recently, and my experience was magical. Nereus is in a beautiful location (monkeys, macaws, beach to yourself, lush jungle vegetation), and you can feel the transformative energy as soon as you step on the grounds. My nervous system settled immediately. Jen and Stu are such kind and welcoming people, and their hospitality is unparalleled. You can tell that everything about the place (physically and energetically) is thought out and intentional. The food is amazing, healthy, and prepared with love. I learned so much from all of the teachers (Michelle, Jesse, and Jen) and had the health reset that I really needed. I can't recommend going to Nereus for YTT or a retreat enough.

Paradise in the Jungle
Nereus was incredible. The owners are amazing and one has professional culinary experience. The menu was amazing and healthy. The rooms are huge and very well appointed. I also loved the yoga studio which was brand new. You are steps from your own private beach and drinking from cocunuts you pick and seeing all the different monkeys that roam the trees was wonderful. It was a perfect getaway,

Awesome thank you.
Jen and Stuart and the community are so friendly. I had an amazing retreat. The course was great and the venue really special.
The venue is really pretty remote yet with the luxury accommodation, the warmth of the hosts and delicious healthy food, we were so well cared for.
Thank you.

200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT): May 2024
Simply put: this was life-changing. The entire experience from start to finish was pure magic. Nereus is by far the most outstanding Retreat Centre, where the beach meets the beautiful jungle. You are immersed in nature amongst the wildlife (monkeys everyday) and fed the most wholesome, nutritious food you could ever dream of. The accommodations are so warm & welcoming, there is literally nothing to worry about. The YTT teachers (we had Michelle, Elise & Jen) were the most dynamic trio. We received such a thorough, comprehensive, engaging & inviting training program. I feel so knowledgeable, prepared & excited to share everything I've learned. Even if you don't plan on teaching, this 200-Hour training is really meant for anyone. You will gain so much awareness and insight into your own practice, your own habits & evolve beyond your wildest dreams. Every single person there, whether it was my fellow trainees, the staff, the teachers...they were all next level incredible. They will become like family to you. I cannot express my gratitude enough that I found Nereus and for everything that it has given me. It was transformational. Highly recommend any of the retreats that Nereus offers. This review comes from the bottom of my heart so that I can hopefully encourage others to experience the magic too, just like I did. I absolutely will be back.

Live your best yoga life at Nereus Retreats!
Keen attention to all the little details is what this new yoga retreat centre is all about. The care and consideration shows up in everything the team does to make your stay into an outstanding experience.

Nereus provides you with three amazing gluten free and super tasty meals every day, made from scratch and with so much love and care.

The grounds are peaceful, immaculate and well-tended - and located only moments from the crashing waves of the ocean and miles upon miles of beachfront sunrises.

The yoga shala is top rate - open to the beautiful surrounding jungle sounds but protected from the elements. It is a treat in itself.

And the yoga training and practices are just beyond exceptional. Michelle is incredibly talented and her love of the craft of yoga shines through all she does. She is the perfect compliment to the ownership team of Jen and Stuart. These three are making magic together.

Do yourself a favour and make the trek to the Osa Peninsula to deepen your practice and wrap yourself in the bliss and joy that is Nereus Retreats!
