200-Hour Island Immersive Yoga Teacher Training in Mexico

This 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is led by a team of experienced instructors, including Elizabeth Jane (EJ), an E-RYT 500 with over a decade of teaching experience worldwide, and Stacy Dixon, an Irish-born teacher who has made her home on a Mexican island. The curriculum covers functional anatomy, 45 traditional postures, pranayama, yoga nidra, vinyasa flow methodology, and the philosophical foundations of yoga, including the Eight Limbs and the Yamas and Niyamas.

The daily schedule is structured to provide a balanced rhythm of practice and study. Mornings begin with meditation and a dynamic asana class in the outdoor shala, followed by a hearty breakfast. Late mornings are dedicated to philosophy, history, or anatomy, often taught poolside. After lunch, you'll dive into asana labs, where you'll practice cuing, alignment, and adjustments with your fellow students. Evenings wind down with group check-ins, restorative classes, and dinner in the garden.

The property itself is a lush, jungle-lined oasis located on the quieter southern end of the island. The open-air yoga shala allows the ocean breeze and birdsong to flow through each practice. You'll be housed in one of six studio-style apartments with shared or private rooms, each with its own bathroom and kitchenette. The location is just a few minutes' walk from quiet beaches, and less than 500 meters from Punta Sur, a protected, sacred site associated with the Mayan goddess Ixchel.

This training is special because it balances rigorous education with true rest and integration. You'll have time to explore the island, swim in the Caribbean, or simply relax by the pool. The included excursions and evening activities foster a strong sense of community among participants.
