The Art of living 200 Hr YTT

 Costa Rica 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training certification program

(The Yoga Home is a RYS-Yoga Alliance Approved)

3 Week Intensive- Aug 16- Sept. 8th, 2023

This 200 hr YTT certification program is an opportunity to visit areas of the mind and body that perhaps have been neglected. You will not only immerse yourself in yoga for 24 days but learn the foundational techniques to teach a group of students and/or one on one clients. It's about peeling back the layers to remind yourself who you are in your truest essence. As we explore the words "Pura Vida" in which the Costa Ricans have embodied this meaning Pure Life. This is an opportunity to connect to nature in all forms while learning from the lead instructor Aly Paws, whom LIVES yoga and has experienced almost 2 decades of sharing this ancient practice with many around the world. 

You will step into all the facets of life. The Art of Living is designed to not only give you a direct experience but to utilize the tools to navigate through a moment to moment awareness, while fully living and embodying your true nature.

The Art of Living is about honouring your gifts and sharing it with the world. It’s about learning to shed some light on your shadow so you can see that you are whole and complete in your true nature.

Imagine yourself waking up to the sounds of the jungle in a tropical rainforest…Practicing yoga on a deck that overlooks a vast luscious green valley on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

The only responsibility you have is to yourself by showing up to all the layers that we are made of. Practicing the ancient teachings of yoga and meditation to discover the truth of who you are. Nourishing yourself with organic local vegan food. Allowing yourself to be open to learning and connect to other open-minded people on a similar path. Immersing yourself in nature and all the healing aspects that come with it.

This is an opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone. To cultivate a fresh perspective on how you can create transformational changes in your life.

Have you ever thought about traveling to an unknown land? What comes up for you when you think about it?

For most people, it’s a mix of fear and excitement, both which hold the keys to growth and expansion.

Every time I set out on an adventure, I use the fear as fuel to jump into the unknown and exercise my trust muscle. What I experience on the other side of that fear is always pure love and grace.

Have you ever thought about what you are going to leave behind for the world to remember you by?

Do you have a passion to live out your purpose and share your gifts with the world?

My gift and inspiration is to guide you into that awareness and hold a safe container to have you explore all aspects of yourself.

We’ll dive deep into both the shadow and the light in order to reveal the true self. Once you remember your true nature, you can’t help but want to share this infectious energy with others.

Looking forward to meeting you and co-creating this transformational new chapter in your life.
