300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica

Advanced Hybrid 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Montezuma, Costa Rica. Where ocean views, deep study, and embodied wisdom guide your advanced transformation.

300-Hour YTT in Montezuma: Holistic Yoga Psychology & Intuitive Wisdom

Gather on the breathtaking shores of Costa Rica for an immersive and transformative 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training designed to awaken deeper levels of consciousness and embodied wisdom. This expansive journey invites you to explore the yogic understanding of the psyche while cultivating intuitive insight that fosters unity, compassion, and peace—within yourself and across cultures around the world.

Throughout this 300-hour YTT, you will learn how to skillfully hold space for yourself and diverse communities through the principles and practices of holistic yoga psychology. Through somatic movement, intuitive exploration, and emotional release techniques, you will gently uncover what is ready to be revealed in the present moment. Together, we dive beneath the surface of awareness to access profound self-reflection, inner healing, and soul growth.

Along the way, you will learn to identify psychological barriers, limiting beliefs, and embodied emotional responses—empowering you to become your own healer while supporting others in releasing old patterns. This integrative process illuminates unconscious material, creating the freedom to consciously design and live a life that is authentic, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.

This training also supports you in expanding your current teaching and offerings through intelligent, intuitive sequencing inspired by your unique gifts and personal medicine. You will learn how to design holistic classes and ceremonial experiences that align with your values, wisdom, and lived experience. Through somatic-based practices, you will develop a nuanced understanding of the body through the lens of the nervous system—revealing how transformation unfolds on physical, emotional, mental, and energetic levels.

Led by Mindi & Nadine, alongside experienced guest facilitators, this training unfolds within a safe, nurturing, and intentionally held container. Each participant is guided through a deeply personal journey of self-inquiry, embodiment, healing, and expansion through holistic yoga psychology and a socially conscious, integrative approach to mind–body–soul wellness. The study of yogic philosophy and ancient wisdom texts deepens intuitive knowledge, with a particular emphasis on Books Three and Four of the Yoga Sutras.

Through an in-depth exploration of the Clair senses, students will awaken their innate intuitive abilities and expand beyond conventional ways of knowing. As wisdom and intuition come online, you will learn to become a clear channel—capable of leading intuitive yoga classes that are dynamic, fluid, grounded, and profoundly impactful.

Please note: This training emphasizes a holistic, mind–body–soul approach to yoga rather than an advanced physical asana focus. While movement is included, this course is not intended for those seeking an advanced asana-only training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first email I sent before even registering for class the facilitators have been attentive and quick to respond. I came with high expectations,  and specific yoga aspects I wanted to learn more about. All of my questions were answered, and during the process more questions were asked and answered.

They asked us to dive deep into ourselves, release, dream, and love. I learned so much about yoga, and even more about myself.  It felt like coming home to myself, and I made wonderful new friends and connections along the way.

This was an experience I will never forget, and im already looking ahead to what my next training will be.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an absolutely amazing school if you are wanting to get your yoga teacher license! The teachers here were wonderful! Bea, Jed and Nikki were so knowledgeable and created such a safe and loving environment. This experience has changed my life and I met the most amazing woman who were in the training with me. They have become my family here and this place will always hold a piece of my heart. I loved how spiritual this experience was and leaned heavily on personal growth and development as well as gaining the confidence and encouragement to teach when I go back home!

An incredible experience from start to finish! The SYI YTT 200 program at Aves in Costa Rica combined solid technical training with a genuinely beautiful setting, the perfect environment to dive deep into practice and study. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly invested in helping each student grow, both on and off the mat. The curriculum was well-structured and covered everything from anatomy to teaching methodology in a way that felt thorough but never overwhelming. Being surrounded by such rich Costa Rican flora and fauna made the whole experience even more magical. I left with new skills, a deeper practice, and connections with an amazing group of fellow students. Highly recommend to anyone considering their YTT journey!

I have almost completed my 200 hr online YTT with SYI and 5 stars is not enough stars. They deserve many more stars because this course was life changing for me. Among so many things it was; informative, meaningful, user friendly (referring to the online part), deep, and successful. By successful I mean I feel ready to teach immediately. After completing the final portion of the class I have videos and sequences ready to go to for auditions and classes. By deep I mean, it has changed my life off the mat and I am so excited to take those lessons with me and spread the knowledge and power of a yoga lifestyle. There's more! Included with the class is a 20 hr anatomy class that is so very helpful, educational and jam packed. I will revisit that course material often. While attending classes online were not "the same" as in person, it really didn't feel like it. My classmates and instructors were so amazing and we zoomed outside of class as well. So not only am I ready to teach but I have a built in support system after only a few months of class with these wonderful people. I can not wait to get some teaching under my belt so I can sign up for the 300 hr YTT classes and this time I will hopefully be able to attend at one of their AMAZING locations like Bali!

What are the accommodation options during the training?

What are the the nearest airports?

The nearest airports for AVES Resort in Montezuma are Cobano Airport (ACO), which is the closest regional airport, and Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José, Costa Rica’s main international airport. From Cobano, it’s a short drive to either location, while from San José, you can take a domestic flight to Cobano or arrange ground transportation to reach the resorts

What does the daily schedule look like during the training?

A typical day includes early morning meditation, asana practice, theory classes, and workshops. There will also be time for personal reflection, relaxation, and opportunities to explore local culture during breaks.

Is our Costa Rica Yoga Teacher Training Yoga Alliance certified?

What should I pack for this Training?

We will provide detailed packing instructions upon booking, but we recommend packing comfortable yoga clothing, layers for varying temperatures, hiking shoes, and personal toiletries. Don’t forget sunscreen and insect repellent. Click here to check our Montezuma (AVES Resort) welcome packet

Will I have time to visit tourist places in Costa Rica?

Yes, the program includes scheduled breaks and opportunities to visit nearby places during free time. Every 5th day is an off day, and there are three off days in total. We highly recommend planning extra time after the training to explore Costa Rica at a leisurely pace and experience its remarkable locations.

What is the currency in Costa Rica, and what is the exchange situation?

The currency in Costa Rica is the Costa Rican Colón (CRC), but US dollars are widely accepted in most tourist areas, including at Indigo Yoga in Mal País and AVES Resort in Montezuma. We also suggest not to use the money exchange in the airport as the rates are high. For currency exchange, you can easily use US dollars in many places, but it’s recommended to carry some local currency for smaller transactions. ATMs are available in nearby towns, such as Cobano for both Mal País and Montezuma, where you can withdraw colones or US dollars. Keep in mind that ATMs in more remote areas may sometimes run out of cash, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead.

Is a visa needed for Costa Rica?

You will need a valid passport for entry into Costa Rica. US, Canada and EU citizens do not need to get a visa ahead of time.
