ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Join Master Teachers Joschi Schwarz, Monika Werner and Yogi Aaron along with their team for Joschi Yoga Institute's 200-Hour Tropical Teacher Training Immersion at beautiful Blue Osa in Costa Rica. Our Tropical Teacher Training Immersion covers exactly the same curriculum as our renowned NYC Programs and our same experienced teaching team, joined by amazing guest teachers, will be on-site to expertly guide you through the incredible journey of becoming a Yoga Teacher.

As an internationally accredited Yoga Alliance Registered School, Joschi Yoga Institute gives you the proper foundation, skills, knowledge, experience and confidence needed to teach yoga and be a great, creative and compassionate Yoga teacher. The program is suitable for aspiring teachers as well as for students who want to deepen their practice and gain valuable knowledge that will support their yoga practice on and off the mat.

The Program begins when you arrive at the tropical paradise of Blue Osa situated on one of the most beautiful, secluded jungle beaches in all of Costa Rica. Blue Osa offers peace and tranquility in a magical setting and is dedicated not only to your comfort and peace of mind, but to the wellness and vitality of your entire being. In harmony with nature, Blue Osa is the perfect place to unplug and immerse yourself into your Yoga Teacher Training while creating space to restore and renew your sense of wellbeing. This is the perfect opportunity to be in the flow of the mystery of your life and earn your Yoga Teacher Certification all at the same time. We are looking forward to share this deep transformative and life-changing experience with you.

MORNINGS:

Surrounded by the sounds of monkeys and exotic birds, we start just before sunrise and welcome the day with a mindful morning meditation at the beach or at Blue Osa's second floor yoga studio, which offers a remarkable view of the ocean and the mainland mountains. Coffee, tea and exotic fruit are served before our Vinyasa Flow morning practice. There will be opportunities during the Teacher Training Immersion to work on and receive help with specific poses of your choice to progress and further your own practice. After the practice we meet for a healthy, tasty and delicious Brunch of fresh, locally grown ingredients at the Cocina.
In the late morning we immerse ourselves in our Yoga Studies, diving into breaking down Asana, learning the alignment, modifications and hands-on assists of the poses as well as proper cueing and other teaching skills. You will get plenty of opportunities to deepen your yoga and practice teaching what you've learned supported by your seasoned and caring teachers.

AFTERNOONS

After a delicious snack, we enjoy a break to swim, surf, walk on the beach or in the jungle, enjoy a massage or just lounge in a hammock before we come together again for lectures covering the history, philosophy and ethics of yoga, anatomy, sequencing, business of yoga and much more. In the late afternoon we gather for a more gentle practice of yoga.

EVENING

Dinner is serves as the sun goes down. This is the time to bond and share our experiences. We will stay connected and everything will flow organically.

Joschi Yoga Institute's Tropical Teacher Training is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in a magical environment while diving deep into your yoga. While you will receive a truly transformational yoga training, you will explore the teacher within and make life-long connections to other amazing teacher trainees. You will have time for relaxation as well, including time each week for excursions to explore Costa Rica. Learn the skills to become an inspiring yoga teacher and share your love of yoga with others.
