Whats Involved?
Your home for this 17 day all-inclusive training will be Vista Celestial where we will spend our training days, or alternatively a nearby Villa depending on your accommodation selection. Vista Celestial is located in the lush jungles of Uvita, tucked away up the mountain side. You will have access to a private waterfall trail, abundant wildlife around you, toucans in trees and much more. Vista Celestial has five large rooms which each sleep 3 students. Head to their website to tour the facilities and view the rooms. We also have several off-site accommodations to sleep additional students. These will be a short distance away, and you will be driven to and from them each day for the training.
Vista Celestial will be your home with a group of likeminded Yogis as you learn and practice throughout your time in Costa Rica. You will dive deeper into learning about the practice of yoga and learn a range of skills as both a teacher and student. You will study the roots of yoga and its culture and, at the same time, we will encourage you to think outside the box to create your own personal style. Subjects include Yoga sequencing, pose breakdowns, basic anatomy, pranayama, philosophy, assists and adjustments, and much more. You will leave this training feeling confident in your newfound knowledge and experience! Come and journey with us on this adventure! We will enjoy amazing meals together, become closest of friends, and explore some of the beauty and culture Costa Rica has to offer. We hope to see you soon.
