Level 1 Teacher Training: Costa Rica


  • Bodhi Tree Resort Costa Rica (map)

Join Karen, Sean, and Amazing Yoga in Nosara, Costa Rica! 

Our training is at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort in Nosara, Costa Rica - a blissful and exotic place with luxury accommodations. We will be minutes from the surfing beaches and the quaint village of Playa Guiones. Utilizing its unique and tranquil setting in the Nicoya Blue Zone, Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort is the ideal spot for immersing into yoga.

This Level 1 - 100 Hour Training (hours can be put toward Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Registration) focuses on what you need to establish a strong teaching foundation that will allow you to feel confident to teach your first class. In addition, the food is amazing, the silent meditation walks along the beach are magical, and meeting people and new friends from all over the world is priceless.

The week-long Certification Program is very intensive and will fully prepare you for your teaching career. At the end of this life-changing week, you will be Certified and ready, so you can begin to teach and share your love of yoga with the world!

Amazing Yoga Teacher Training contains one of the most effective and practical training methods available. With over 20 years of experience conducting trainings, our Yoga Teacher Training will allow you to access your full potential through asana, meditation, practice teaching and self inquiry. The focus of the training is to produce confident, safe, powerful, and natural teaching. You will learn sequencing, alignment, philosophy, assisting, the business of yoga, and much more. By the time the week is over, you will be ready to teach a powerful and dynamic class.

Yoga Teacher Training is designed to provide an environment where your own unique understanding of yoga materializes out of your direct experience, and you become confident in sharing it. This initial training will help you establish a solid foundation as a yoga teacher for years to come — one that you can continually build from and grow as a teacher and person.
