Money/ATMs

Since you have already paid for your room and food, you do not need to carry a large amount with you to the farm. You will need money if you want to buy something from our boutique, go shopping in the nearby town, take a day trip on your day off, take a horseback ride, take Spanish lessons, or anything else that you would like to enjoy. At the airport there are ATMs and cash exchange booths. Once you arrive to the lake, you will have access to ATMS at the nearby towns as well and often the exchange rates at the ATM’s are better than the airport.

Check-in

Upon arrival, we will check you into the farm, where you will be guided you through a short orientation and welcomed to your room. Check-in is typically between 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the start date of the program.

Payment

It is important that everyone pays in full before the training begins. If you still owe tuition or room and board payment, please contact us immediately to reconcile your bill. Thank you for your prompt payments.

Required books for the program

1. SYI Yoga Teacher Training Manual: Included in tuition
We will have it when you arrive at the training.

2. Yoga Anatomy by Leslie Kaminoff: Purchase at Amazon, ibooks, kindle or your local bookstore.
