La découverte du Kundalini Yoga

The place is astonishing , in the middle of the "jungle". A quiet Eden garden ,

With beautiful host peaple who like to share there knowledge.

Terry is passionate about horses , she made me discover theses beautiful and mighty animals and is a really good yoga teacher . It was a wonderful experience

I am not sure how to put into words the healing I received in 10 days during the Journey through the 5 Koshas. I left lighter, cleansed, more healed, stronger, healthier, more capable then I had felt in the 5 years prior to losing my husband. Grief can't be rushed, but on year 5 of mourning, this retreat gave me an opportunity to let go and see the possibility of moving forward beyond my grief. The house is the most magical fairyland like open aired place in the middle of the jungle. Just walking the property is therapeutic surrounded by the horses. I took advantage of the amazing vegetarian meals to learn more about the spiritual practices of yoga including vegetarian eating and pranic eating. The horses and Terry helped accelerate my healing with Reiki, meditations, sound baths, and a fire burning chanting session. Each day we with Terry or Enrica for yoga in the mornings and evenings. It was a place to heal, focus, let go, flow, chant, meditate, and just cleanse my soul. I felt like my light was almost burnt out when I arrived, and when I left I felt like my light was bright and strong and that I had a lot more living to do. I am not sure how to describe Lexi's food. But as someone who travels all around the world enjoying feasts from the highest rated restaurants....nothing compares to Lexi's food. She is a true master chef. Each meal supported the healing journey with pranic healing! I am forever grateful for this magical experience.

What's not to like! Amazing teachers, beautiful facilities, delicious food, great value for money. The roots of yoga and its spiritual connection is incredibly important and highlighted during lectures. I also loved spending time with the horses and learning about them.

Ich bin so unglaublich dankbar für das YTT! Es ist ein Ort für Heilung. Wir haben so viel gelernt und gerade die Arbeit mit den Pferden war außergewöhnlich schön

I have to say now that when I look back the main thing that I felt I liked was how genuine the staff and the program was. They truly do an amazing job at encompassing the entire practice of yoga. Well put together lectures and classes. Breathing/Breathwork was a main focus throughout the physical yoga practice as well as safety and truthfulness with oneself. I learned techniques on how to stay true to my practice while back at home. Truly felt love and compassion from the well educated caring instructors here at Kindred Spirit. It was such a beautiful, good vibe, safe space to learn and grow internally, so grateful for this! Keep changing the world Johanna and Terry, job well done! Also the food was absolutely amazing! - Lexi start a blog!

the experience within kindred spirits was special and unique. the best school ever. The teachers are very professional and prepared, the structure is located inside the jungle, it is treated in every detail. the cook is amazing, you eat vegan and is cooked very well. Within the teacher training I was lucky enough to also practice with and on horses and it was exciting. in short, an experience that illuminated my life. I recommend it to everybody.

The instructors and the horses and the piece of property

I knew my time at Kindred Spirits was going to be special, maybe even life-changing, but I was not prepared for how incredible it actually turned out to be. I truly loved everything about being in Costa Rica and the whole YTT 200 hours. The best parts of the experience would have to be the jungle, the people, and the food! Combining all these things together created a magical environment for exploring yoga.

Terry, Johanna and Lexi have really created something special here. I see all the love and effort they put into creating a meaningful and fun experience for a group of people coming with different backgrounds, motivations, and expectations. It is not easy, yet they do a fabulous job. I am definitely going to be recommending Kindred Spirits to all my yoga-loving, horse-loving, and life-loving friends and family for years to come.

My experience at this yoga school was better than I could have imagined. The teachers were immaculate and so gentle and kind and clearly practicing yogis for years. They handled challenges with grace and compassion and I learned so much. The food was unreal delicious. I have been vegan for years and every meal was sooo good. Maybe some getting used to if a person eats meat or processed foods everyday. But it was all healthy and fresh and homemade with love. I loved the accommodation as well. It is in the jungle, so it feels very much like living with the nature and in the nature. I loved all the amazing creatures we would see every day. Yes there are bugs, this is not a 5 star resort and no pesticides either :) don’t expect that, that is not the jungle. Jungle is living in harmony with the nature and accepting us as apart of it and I really felt that here. So beautiful. You can only get as much as you want to take from this course so use your days wisely and really listen to these teachings, they are so impactful and important lessons for the yogic path. I loved it here.

The yoga and the horses

Living in Costa Rica for 3 weeks learning from Terry and Johanna was absolutely wonderful. The course is pretty extensive but you leave prepared to take on the world as a real deal yogi. The YTT did my mind, body, and spirit well.

I'm very happy I came here for my 200 hour YTT! Costa Rica has had a very special place in my heart since the first time I visited and this visit only deepened that feeling. Terry and Johanna are amazing woman who truly love what they do and learning from them was an absolute blessing. I am so grateful for the knowledge I gained, the relationships I cultivated and the growth that has happened within myself. Thank you so much Kindred Spirits and I look forward to seeing again.

Namaste

Life changing experience, I would definitely recommend this beautiful place to start with yoga trainings. The program was very intense and well organized. The main teacher Terry Newton was an incredible teacher, sharing her knowledge with dedication, attention and comprehension. The assistant teacher Joanna was a great teacher as well, practising with us with a lot of patience and incredible spirit.

We had a wide range of books available there, so we could borrow them and read during our free time. Great references of websites, professional job opportunities, yoga teaching resources, books.

The food was INCREDIBLY delicious, fresh and healthy.

The size of the group of students was small so the attention was very personal and in case of any question or doubt there was always the opportunity to receive the feedback.

I could not imagine better place to do YTT 200h, the beauty of the surroundings, the jungle, horses, the abundance of the nature was like a dream.

Finalizing the course, I feel inspired, motivated and ready to start my journey as a Yoga teacher.

Namaste Kindred Spirits :)

This was an amazing learning experience. The horses topped it off. Being able

To learn yoga and experience it with horses is unforgettable

Le lieu est magnifique au milieu de la jungle. Le Shala donne sur la jungle et est idéale pour la pratique du yoga.

Terry est accueillante et les logements sont bien.

We came to Kindred Spirits at the start of our Costa Rican adventure, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Terry, her family, and volunteers were so warm and welcoming, we immediately felt at home. The accommodations were beautiful, a little house in the jungle. We fell asleep to the singing of frogs and insects and woke to the calls of parrots and monkeys.

Each day was the perfect mix of yoga, mediation, rest, horses, and Maryam's amazing cooking.

The yoga chalet in the jungle is so beautiful, and riding down to the beach was a blast (although quite challenging due to high water and downed trees from a recent storm).

We feel so grateful and full of light from our time there. Our minds and bodies are awakened and ready for the next adventure!
