Instalaciones

Certification

Students who complete the training are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®).

Overview

You will practice yoga asanas, learn how to sequence a Vinyasa yoga class from scratch and how to teach a multilevel Vinyasa yoga class safely and professionally; study the yoga lifestyle and take a dive within yourselves through different exercises of introspection. Leave your comfort zone in a safe manner through physical activities and internal work.

In these times when racism, sexism, intolerance, and imaginary divisions between the human races are separating everyone apart, VY Vinyasa Yoga's mission is to do exactly the opposite: promote yoga (union) with bilingual yoga teacher training. The program will be taught in English but you can speak English or Spanish.

There will be a translator available at all times and the teaching staff can speak and teach in both languages. You are encouraged to practice your second language in the daily activities and discussions and, if you feel comfortable enough, to also teach asana in your second language.

No matter in which country of the world you were born and raised; the color of your skin, your religious beliefs, or your social status; the language you speak, your sexual preference, or your political affiliation; if you are a football fan of any team, or not, VY Vinyasa Yoga respects you, they support you, and you are totally welcome. In other words, they already love you and they just want to invite you to love them all.

VY Vinyasa Yoga will be teaching an Intensive VY Vinyasa Yoga 200-hour Bilingual Teacher Training. This program is directed to practitioners who wish to teach yoga classes in both languages, English and Spanish, or to those who would like to live a bilingual and multi-cultural experience. The VYTT200 program gives the yoga student the basis and knowledge necessary to become a yoga teacher and therefore, to be able to teach Vinyasa yoga classes in a safe manner for their students as well as for their personal practice.

In this program, you'll study the modern yogi lifestyle based on the principles of Ashtanga yoga, underlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, as well as self-discovery by using introspection and meditation practices. The VYTT200 is divided into various sections and VY Vinyasa Yoga thinks that all of them are critical for the formation of a good yoga teacher.

As of today, more than 90% of the students that have taken these teacher training have described their experience as enriching, unique, beautiful, unrepeatable, educational, and many more other positive adjectives. In VY Vinyasa Yoga, they are convinced that the experience of this program does not depend 100% on them.

In reality, a genuine potential of this program relies on the teamwork disposition the student has, as well as, the positive, proactive, and optimistic attitude they wish to maintain during the course of the program. This will be what transforms the training into the best life experience of a person and at the same time be able to contribute this energy to the whole group so they can enjoy and make the most out of their experience.

What to do in your free time?

On-site, a few activities are at your disposal for your free time on Sundays. The environment and the atmosphere of Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats will help you relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of co-living with nature. You can also visit a few places nearby just by taking the van in the town to Chemuyil.

Cool off in the natural swimming pool

The swimming pool is carved in the rock and is surrounded by a mosquito net, so you can relax and enjoy nature, without the annoying presence of mosquitoes and other flying insects. The pool is cleaned by a natural system that involves plants, fishes, and different types of mineral and organic materials, eliminating the need of the use of chemicals to maintain clean and fresh pool water all the time, without polluting the natural underground water system.

Observe nature around Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats

The area surrounding Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats is very safe, so you can walk around, and you're very likely to see some typical fauna of the region, like coatis, sereques, squirrels, grey foxes, a variety of birds and insects, and if you´re lucky, even spider monkeys. Although it is true that jaguars and other big felines live in the jungle, they will not approach areas inhabited by humans since they are really afraid of people.

There have been no attacks by these animals to humans and VY Vinyasa Yoga states doesn´t need to be afraid that this will change. In the jungle, there are also a lot of different types of spiders, a couple of types of scorpions, and a few different types of snakes, but none of them are dangerous or lethal. In case you have an encounter with any of them, stay away from them and they will not harm you at all. Always stay on the paths and roads and it's strongly recommended that you not enter the wild jungle barefoot or wearing sandals.

Volunteer to help newly-born sea turtles make it safe to the ocean

There are a lot of sea turtle sanctuaries very close to Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats. Akumal is a little town that became very popular for the sea turtles that come and nest on its beaches, and if you are lucky, you might have the opportunity to watch their eggs hatch and help little sea turtles go into deep waters. Akumal is 12 kilometers away from the retreat.

Discover the Mayan history

Tulum is a town famous for the Mayan archeological site that dominates the Caribbean Sea. The archeological site is 18 kilometers from Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats and Tulum downtown is 1.5 kilometers ahead.

Explore the Mayan open cenotes and caves

A variety of open cenotes and caves are very close to Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats and can be visited during your free time on Sundays. VY Vinyasa Yoga can even arrange a tour with the best snorkel, diving, free diving, and apnea instructors in the area.

Swim in the beautiful turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean beaches

Just seven kilometers from Santosha Sanctuary Yoga & Retreats, you can find Xcacel, which is one of the most beautiful spots of the Mayan Riviera, still protected from mass tourism. Xcacel is a stunning wild place with no shops, no bars, and no restaurants. You can´t even buy a bottle of water! This beach is protected because it became a sanctuary of the sea turtles.
