21-Day 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Sacred Valley, Peru

The training takes place at Munay Sonqo Retreat and Yoga Center, an oasis of native plants and fruit trees nourished by a waterfall in the Sacred Valley. The center is near the village of Arin, between Urubamba and Pisac, and is surrounded by the twelve sacred Apu mountains, which are said to intercede on behalf of people. This is a place where you can commune directly with the mountains and with local curanderos and pacos (healers) who join the training for rituals and ceremonies.

A typical day begins with sunrise meditation, followed by a 90-minute asana practice. After a nourishing yogic breakfast, the mornings are dedicated to core teaching principles—yoga philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda, and the study of the Yoga Sutras. Afternoons break down the poses, exploring alignment and adjustments in depth, and you'll learn to teach two distinct flows: the slow, meditative Sadhana Hatha and the more intense, breath-synchronized Sadhana Vinyasa. Evenings conclude with satsang, which may include meditation, kirtan chanting, or a sacred ceremony.

The program is led by a team of experienced teachers, including Jananī, a song carrier who trained in India, and Brooke, a trauma-informed teacher who specializes in healing. The approach is called Mystical Yoga, which weaves together the teachings of the East—Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta—with the shamanic medicine wheel of the Americas. This is a deeply personal journey that asks for dedication and an open heart, promising a rich foundation for teaching and for life.
