Our mission is to light the lamp of knowledge. To cultivate an understanding of ancient lineage in union with modern day living. How we do anything is how we do everything. Yoga lights our way to liberation.
This 300hr YTT is located at Nalanda Retreat Center, in the heart of a serene seaside town in Goa – southern India. Live a dreamy, balanced yogic lifestyle here — enjoying cherished practices, beautiful sea swims, meditating on the beach, and taking in spectacular sunsets as you soak in the sights and sounds of this sublime place.
The word Nalanda is Sanskrit for giver of knowledge. Built to be a place of growth and healing, it is the perfect sanctuary away from the modern world where one is able to fully embrace what it means to live a holistic lifestyle. We will come together in the sacred motherland of yoga to connect in divine community.
You will explore the path of yoga through tradition, clarity, and purposeful action. Yoga is a relinquishment of the things that cause suffering and cultivation of the things that bring us happiness and ease.
This program will guide you in learning how to practice and teach from the gross to the subtle. We will embrace the deeper dimensions of Yoga, leaning into the practices of Ayurveda, Asana, Pranayama, Mantra, Mudra, and Sacred offerings with the intention of guiding and being guided by the ancient wisdom that holds beauty and grace all on its own. We traverse the landscapes of our systems and patterns and begin to uncover the nuances and direct actions that support us, and students that study with us, in finding their way to more connected and fulfilling life practices.
While we live in a world filled with “have to's” and “not enough’s”, Yoga teaches us to improve our lives and live within the context of our existing wholeness. We do this by cultivating sustained attention to those aspects that motivate us to keep practicing, connecting, and thriving. Our Intention is to guide the students of life to a seat of awareness, understanding, and compassion for ourselves and others.
We teach as students and live as humble servants of nature. Can we learn to come back to the beginner's mind?

"What I am learning for the past two years, through my 500 YTT and mentorship studies with Raquel and Anita has had a very positive impact on my life. These are teachers who have the wisdom and the grace and are willing and able to share profound philosophy and practices of yoga that we can apply to our daily lives and change the way we experience reality. They are accessible, kind, deeply knowledgeable, authentic, thought provoking, experienced and much more! Those qualities make for wonderful mentors, removers of darkness and holders of light so we may find our own individual paths back to Self with more ease. While their teaching styles are different, they complement each other well. I am looking forward to continuing to study with them long into the future."

With the world's largest rainforest ecosystem, the Amazon Rainforest spans 9 countries and is home to iconic species like the Jaguar, Macaw, Amazon River Dolphin, Black Spider Monkey, and Poison Dart Frog. By holding an estimated 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, its forests play a critical role in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, due to logging, unsustainable agriculture, and forest fires, it's also a high risk zone for deforestation and degradation.
