Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra Teacher Training in Costa Rica

The 100-hour Yin and Yoga Nidra teacher training in Montezuma covers far more than just asana. Each day includes a long Yin or Restorative practice, a guided Yoga Nidra session, and structured coursework. The curriculum delves into Yin anatomy—fascia, meridian lines, and the body's connective tissue—as well as the theory behind Yoga Nidra, including the nervous system and the koshas. You'll also learn how to sequence a Yin class, how to teach Yoga Nidra, and how to create your own Nidras. The training touches on trauma sensitivity, and while it's a teacher training, the course is designed to be accessible to anyone who wants a deeper personal understanding of these practices.

What sets this training apart is the cross-cultural lens. You'll explore how shamanism from Peru, Ayurveda from India, and Traditional Chinese Medicine all contribute to understanding Yin at both a physical and mental level. This isn't just theory—you'll learn how to weave these different ancient wisdoms into your own teaching, and how to set an intention and craft a class that carries it through. The teachers bring years of experience and a genuine passion for the material, and they're known for their ability to make complex topics feel simple and engaging.

The location is part of the experience. Montezuma is a small beach town on the Nicoya Peninsula, known for its jungle waterfalls and laid-back vibe. The retreat center itself is a short walk from the beach, and you're surrounded by lush gardens, a pool, and a yoga shala. Evenings might be given to kirtan, movie night, or an excursion to one of the nearby waterfalls. On the day off, you can hike in the Cabo Blanco nature reserve or just relax on the sand. The combination of daily practice, study, and the natural beauty of Costa Rica makes this a deeply immersive ten days.
