Of course, you will be eligible to earn a 100 or 200-hour certification. You will also have the opportunity to retreat deep into self-study, embody powerful practices, build community, nourish yourself with incredible food and nature, and learn to share these practices. This training is ideal for those who want to become Teachers, as much as it is for those seeking to simply deepen or reignite their practice.
For 10 or 22 days, we will develop your knowledge of the root systems and practices of Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda, and support optimal mind-body intelligence with the BASA Yoga Method. We will connect with natural rhythms of light, heat, nature, and our own breaths and hearts. Daily rituals and reflection will help you to build your practice and grow your teaching practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is included?For retreat-style residential trainings: tuition, food, and board. NOT INCLUDED: airfare and transportation to the venue. For non-residential local trainings: tuition only.
-
What if I just want to deepen my practice but not teach?This training’s main focus is to instruct you on how to build your personal practice, which once built and established can easily lead to great teaching. So if you are coming mostly to get your 200 hour certificate, please don't come. If you are on a personal quest to develop or give new meaning or depth to your personal practice, you will emerge from this training transformed and more embodied. From an authentic personal practice you will begin to naturally share and teach others if that is something you are seeking and wanting.
