200-hr Teacher Training

Looking to take your practice to the next level?

This is a soul-rocking, life changing opportunity to dig deep, connect, paint, play, laugh, cry and love. Understand samadhi (universal oneness) and the integration of nature and divinity by learning about local fauna and flora, and land conservation. Frolic in the forest, hike a magical peak, paddle majestic lakes, unleash your inner child. Go sky-diving, rock climbing, white water rafting and explore magnificent waterfalls on your days off. Our training is designed to help you connect with and nurture your inner child through play, adventure, movement and nature. We will explore ancient teachings with dance, painting, journaling, and dynamic yoga. We honor yoga as a path through which everyone can become their most divine selves. Embarking on this journey means a quest for self-knowledge, love, and freedom. We are committed to raising the collective consciousness through meditation, breath, movement and service.
