I just got back from the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica - it was amazing! It gave me the tools and focus to bring peace and kindness into my life as a social justice activist. I really appreciated the inclusive, caring, and expansive teaching style. The nature at Playa Coyote is absolutely beautiful - surfing in the Pacific, Scarlet Macaws, stunning black sand...
It was such a privilege to learn from Liz and Peggy, two warm-hearted, very skilled individuals. Their depth of knowledge and facilitation is impressive, balancing physical practice and classroom time. They tie ancient wisdom to our modern world with ease and practicality, and I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the philosophy, the lovely niyamas and yamas, kosha sutra exploration.
The asana classes were amazing, with a focus on anatomy and alignment, and life-affirming themes. Their emphasis on teaching yoga for ALL bodies was practical and encouraging for me. In my work with others for liberation, it means dealing with my own, and other people's, traumas and triggers. This training gave me a practice I can use personally and professionally. I'm also very thankful for the chance to create a self-practice morning routine that fits my nature and body—it was such a gift.
