Most of our foundational courses, including the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and Ayurveda Fundamentals, are designed for all levels, including beginners with a sincere interest in learning. We provide a supportive environment to grow your practice and knowledge. For advanced trainings (like 300-hour YTT), some prior experience or completion of a 200-hour YTT is usually required. Please check the specific prerequisites on each course page.

Yes, our 200-hour and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings are registered with Yoga Alliance. Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a certificate that allows you to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200 or RYT-300 (if applicable based on their requirements), respectively. Our other specialized courses offer certifications specific to their modality (e.g., Ayurveda Health Coach).

Our Yoga Ashram in Costa Rica offers a peaceful and inspiring environment. Accommodation options typically range from shared rooms to private bungalows, designed with eco-conscious principles.

We serve delicious, healthy, and predominantly plant-based (vegetarian/vegan) meals, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Our cuisine is often inspired by Ayurvedic principles to support your well-being and energy levels throughout the course. We can usually accommodate common dietary restrictions like gluten-free with advance notice.

While the exact schedule varies depending on the specific course (e.g., YTT, Ayurveda training), a typical day in an intensive residential program might include:

• Morning meditation and pranayama (breathwork)
• Asana (yoga posture) practice
• Breakfast
• Theory lectures (philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda principles, teaching methodology, etc.)
• Lunch
• Practical workshops, teaching practice, or technique sessions
• Afternoon asana practice or specialized class
• Evening satsang, chanting, or group discussion (occasionally)
• Some personal study time or rest periods.

A detailed schedule is provided to enrolled students before the course begins.

The best preparation is to come with an open mind and a willingness to learn and immerse yourself in the experience. For Yoga Teacher Trainings, maintaining a regular yoga practice beforehand can be beneficial but is not always strictly required for 200-hour programs. We often provide a recommended reading list or some pre-course study materials to help you get acquainted with key concepts. Most importantly, prepare to disconnect from daily stressors and engage fully with the teachings and the community.

Our Yoga Ashram is located near Tamarindo in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica. The closest international airport is Liberia International Airport (LIR). From LIR, it's approximately a 1 to 1.5-hour drive to Tamarindo. We can help arrange airport transfers for an additional fee, or provide guidance on shuttle services and taxis. Some programs may include group shuttle from LIR or Tamarindo local airport; please check the specific course details.
