22-Day Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training in the Costa Rican Jungle

This isn't a run-of-the-mill teacher training where you just learn a bunch of poses. You'll practice hatha and vinyasa flow every morning, keyed to anatomical alignment, then restorative and yin yoga in the evenings. That morning-evening split lets you explore the full spectrum of yoga — how to fire the body up and how to slow it down — so you graduate able to teach both yang and yin styles with confidence.

The curriculum goes well beyond asana. You'll study anatomy and biomechanics so you can keep your future students safe, learn the history and philosophy of the practice, explore pranayama and mantra, and dig into Sanskrit so you know the original names of poses. There's a heavy focus on teaching methodology and the business of yoga, including how to sequence intelligent classes, give clear cues, and make a living doing this work.

You'll get lots of practice teaching while you're here. Throughout the course you'll teach, receive feedback, and refine your skills, so by the final week you're ready to lead a full class on your own. Your teacher, Leah, has run hundreds of trainings and is known for creating a supportive, personal environment. She's always around after breakfast or dinner to chat about yoga or whatever's on your mind.

The retreat center, Aves Hotel & Resort, is a consciously designed property set into the hills of Montezuma with ocean views. It has one of the largest yoga shalas in Costa Rica, two swimming pools, private jungle trails, and a gym. Rooms come with AC, hot water, kitchenettes, private terraces, and organic bath products. The vibe is relaxed and intimate, perfect for a month of focused study and community.
