These three weeks, from 1–22 July 2026, are designed to be truly life-changing. Graduates of this training often describe it as transformational, and for many, the impact reaches far beyond the mat. Some leave with greater confidence after injury, a deeper spiritual practice, renewed self-belief, stronger relationships, a new career direction, or even lifelong friendships. Whatever your experience may be, this journey is intended to support meaningful growth.

Hosted by Kintsugi Yoga and Seek Yoga Collective, this training welcomes you into a community that meets you exactly where you are. You will be supported through both challenge and expansion, with space to explore your practice in a way that feels authentic and deeply personal. The setting adds to the experience: three weeks in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, where the jungle meets the sea.
