43 Day 300-Hour Hybrid: Online & In-Person Advanced Yoga Teacher Training on Isla Mujeres, Mexico

How the training works

The course consists of four weeks of online training followed by 15 days of onsite immersion in Mexico. During the online part of the training, there are one or two live sessions per week (recordings available). You will need a reliable internet connection and Zoom to participate in the live sessions. You will receive pre-training assignments - a light, meaningful work to prepare and inspire - and a comprehensive manual to study during programming and use as a resource in the future.

During the in-person program, daily yoga classes will be held in the outdoor or open-air yoga shala, and meditation sessions will be provided on-site and off-site near the beautiful Caribbean sea. Learn to deepen your own comfort for meditation and lead others gracefully. The team and community support are ongoing. You will have continued communication and resources as well as professional development opportunities, after the initial training.

What is special about this program

What sets this program apart is its immersive, not intensive, approach. Each day is thoughtfully curated to create space for learning, integration, and inspiration from sunrise meditations welcoming the first light over the island, to poolside philosophy chats, embodied practice, and evening reflections. Located just 500 meters from the sacred Punta Sur National Healing Center, this jungle sanctuary on Isla Mujeres - a city celebrated internationally as a “Pueblo Mágico” (magic town) - offers a truly powerful setting for transformation.

The team is made up of authentic, heart-led wellness professionals, each passionate about delivering high-quality education in a way that feels accessible, supportive, and fun. You will stay in simple, cozy accommodations surrounded by nature, and enjoy three nourishing, home-cooked meals daily, crafted with love using seasonal, regional ingredients. This is more than a training - it is a chance to reconnect with yourself, your practice, and a global community of like-minded souls.
