17-Day 200-Hour Yoga & Ayurveda Teacher Training in Costa Rica

The training blends traditional yoga and Ayurveda, which are treated as sister sciences. Mornings start with asana and pranayama, then move into theory, philosophy, and anatomy. Afternoons cover teaching methodology and hands-on labs, and evenings often have kirtan or meditation. You'll learn how to sequence, cue, and adjust, and from day one you'll get chances to practice teaching.

What sets this apart is the setting and the people. Pura Veda is a real home, with a family, dogs, and a farm with over 100 fruit trees. The small group (never more than 15) means you get individual attention. Sonia, E-RYT 500, has over 5,000 hours of teaching and brings deep wisdom from therapeutic yoga and Ayurveda. Her son Ciro, E-RYT 200, supports with anatomy knowledge and a calm, grounding presence.

Ayurveda is woven through everything—the daily schedule (dinacharya), the food (sattvic, organic, with a weekly kitchari cleanse), and the teachings on doshas and balancing your constitution. You'll leave not just with a teaching certificate, but with practical tools for everyday health and a quieter mind.
