A Yoga Training Refined Over 5 Years

Built to help anyone develop the skills necessary to master their body, breath, and mind.

This is not a crash-course or a trendy certification.

This training has been designed, tested, taught, and refined over the last five years through multiple cohorts, hundreds of students, and thousands of hours of real practice—on the mat and in life.

It’s for people who want to understand yoga, not just do it.

Who This Training Is For

This training is for anyone who wants to build a strong, intelligent relationship with their body and nervous system.

Yes—future teachers will leave prepared to lead.
But this training was never only about teaching classes.

It’s for:

  • People who want a consistent, safe self-practice

  • Students who feel overwhelmed or confused by modern yoga

  • Facilitators, leaders, and creatives who want to self-regulate under pressure

  • Long-time practitioners who want to return to the roots

  • Humans who want tools to meet discomfort with clarity instead of avoidance

  • Learn how to skillfully correct posture and support alignment through intelligent asana adjustments. Develop sensitivity in offering assisted stretches that respect anatomy, consent, and nervous system response. Practice using touch as a form of communication—refining awareness, precision, and care to support safety, release, and integration.

  • Commit to daily practice as the foundation for real, observable change. Engage consistently with asana, breathwork, meditation, and integrative workshops that translate theory into lived experience. Rooted in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga-based Rocket Yoga, this approach emphasizes discipline, rhythm, and intelligent progression—allowing students to witness tangible shifts in strength, mobility, clarity, and self-regulation in real time.

  • Cultivate concentration, presence, and clarity. Work skillfully with resistance, fear, and habitual patterns. Understand the mind through lived experience, not theory alone. Learn meditation as a practical, embodied discipline. Developing the capacity to sit with discomfort without avoidance

  • Functional alignment & intelligent sequencing. Learn how to build strength, stability, and mobility safely. Understand how structure creates freedom in movement. Practice how to work with your anatomy instead of forcing shapes. Develop body awareness that prevents injury and builds longevity

  • Engage with an extensive curriculum designed to support depth, context, and discernment. The training includes a comprehensive 40-hour online course covering the history of yoga, foundational theory, and the realities of cultural appropriation within modern practice. Study anatomy and energetic anatomy, including the chakras, nadis, mudras, and meridian systems, to understand yoga as both a physical and subtle discipline—bridging ancient wisdom with responsible, informed teaching.

  • Nourishment is treated as an essential part of the practice, not an afterthought. Students are served organic, Ayurvedic-inspired meals three times a day, prepared to support digestion, energy, and nervous system balance. Food is approached as medicine—seasonal, intentional, and aligned with the rhythms of practice—creating the conditions for sustained focus, integration, and embodied learning throughout the training.

What Makes This Training Different

Most trainings give you information.

This training gives you skills.

Over five years, this program has been refined to teach you how to work with yourself—not how to perform shapes or memorize sequences.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build a sustainable practice instead of burning out

  • Use breath to regulate your nervous system

  • Understand alignment so your body feels supported, not strained

  • Sit with discomfort instead of bypassing it

  • Recognize patterns of self-sabotage and work with them somatically

This is yoga as a lived discipline, not a performance.

The Venue

Barbarenas is a hidden sanctuary tucked just off the back road leading to La Punta Beach. A short five-minute walk brings you to the ocean — perfect for an evening dip after a full day of practice.

What makes this centre truly unique is its eco-conscious design. The structures are built from compacted earth, and the pool uses an aquaponic filtration system, meaning you quite literally get to swim alongside the fish.

The property invites exploration, with meditation gardens, temazcals, and on-site massage services. Additional offerings led by local facilitators — such as cold plunges and kirtan — create opportunities for deeper connection and integration.

This space offers the privacy needed for reflection, while still holding a like-minded community to support you throughout your training.

From the food, to the location, to the yoga shala, every detail at Barbarenas has been thoughtfully designed with intention — creating an atmosphere that supports both retreat and restoration.

Despite its serene setting, Barbarenas is still just a five-minute walk from local markets and cafés, where you can explore artisan goods or enjoy a fresh coconut in the sun.

Women weren’t always centered in yoga. Here’s what changed. For thousands of years, yoga was largely taught by men, for men, within renunciate, monastic lineages. Women practiced yoga, but often outside formal systems, as healers, mysti

Truth: All yoga is kundalini yoga. Not the style. The mechanism. Yoga is the science of moving energy. Asana stretches the body to churn the nadis. Breath directs prana. Focus (drishti / pratyahara) stabilizes the nervous system. Energy moves whet
People come to a yoga training for many different reasons. Some come to teach. Some come to deepen their practice. Some come because something in their life is unraveling—and they’re listening. No one arrives by accident. What they thi
