Amāya Yoga Institute

Welcome to Amāya Yoga Institute, a sanctuary for transformation nestled in the vibrant, natural beauty of Playa Sámara, Costa Rica. Our mission is to guide students through a deeply immersive journey of self-discovery, rooted in the ancient wisdom of yoga and empowered by modern, heart-centered methodology.

At Amāya, yoga is not just movement - it’s a way of living, leading, and coming home to yourself.

Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is designed for those who are ready to rise into their fullest potential - whether you dream of teaching yoga, or simply want to deepen your personal practice and connect more meaningfully with yourself and others.

Through intentional education, experiential learning, and supportive mentorship, we offer far more than certification - we offer transformation.

Our training weaves together:

Vedic philosophy and yogic wisdom that ground you in purpose and tradition
Functional anatomy and movement principles that respect and support the unique body you live in
Self-inquiry and emotional awareness practices that help you live and lead from a place of truth
Sacred rituals, meditation, pranayama, and breathwork that unlock clarity, presence, and power
Creative and authentic teaching tools to build confidence and find your voice as a guide

This is a place to slow down and reconnect with your intuition. A space where challenge leads to growth, community fosters belonging, and every part of you is welcomed in the process.

When you say yes to Amāya, you’re saying yes to more than a certification - you’re saying yes to your evolution.

Join us, and rise into the teacher, leader, and luminous human you’re meant to be.
