The training includes a thorough introduction to the eight limbs of yoga. As a vinyasa training, we focus on asana, alignment, and physical anatomy, but that is just the beginning. We have comprehensive pranayama and tantric breathwork practice offered daily as well as an introduction to the subtle body, the chakras, the vayus, Ayurveda, Indian and Andean philosophy. As a studio owner who has helped many yoga teachers evolve, Ann is passionate about sacred commerce and the business of yoga as well for those who want to make teaching yoga their career. For those looking to uplevel their health, go on a journey of the heart, and create their daily sadhana, this training is an amazing experience whether or not you aspire to teach.

Magical Adventures and Epic journeys included in your 500 hr YTT course:
We believe that the beauty of learning yoga in the Andes is being able to breathe some of the purest air on the planet. The power these mountains have to heal is profound and we respect and honor these Apus and the healing traditions preserved here in these sacred lands. We always start our journey together with a despacho the traditional way of honoring the earth and giving back while asking for blessings, protection, and permission to be here. We commit to treading lightly and we provide filtered water and ask everyone to bring their own reusable bottle. We take you off the beaten track into breathtakingly beautiful places in communities where we have family contacts. We will have two full hiking days together. One to a magical lakeside community where they still tend to their lamas, alpacas, and sheep. One of everyone's most memorable days is always our Huachuma hike- medicine is optional, but the journey itself is unforgettable!
