200hr Yoga Teacher Training

"There’s a special energy on Ometepe Island, and particularly at this resort. It’s calm, centered, and connected—perfect for deepening a yoga practice or personal growth.
The volcanic energy is something like I've never felt. And the views—getting to be way above the lake, which is really a privilege—make this place extraordinary.
We get to practice in the most tranquil environment, meditate with birds and monkeys and rain, and open our eyes to cloud formations over the volcano. It's absolutely invigorating.
The journey here was seamless. Everything was planned out, from being greeted at the airport to arriving at the resort. Even for someone who doesn't speak Spanish, it was stress-free.
I’ve traveled to over 55 countries, and Nicaragua may be my favorite. The people are warm and smiley, the landscapes breathtaking, and the energy here is unforgettable.
This place has far exceeded my expectations. It’s a magical experience that I’ll carry in my heart for the rest of my life."

“Ometepe Island feels like home. It’s a constellation of natural beauty—volcanoes, fresh water, and people who wave and smile, making you feel safe and embraced.
This shala is the reason why I enrolled in this yoga training. It’s so inspirational to be immersed in wild nature with a breathtaking view—it’s the best yoga shala I’ve ever practiced in.
This month at Totoco has been a real treat. The cabins are beautifully designed with natural palm roofs, blending seamlessly with nature.
Sleeping here feels different—deeply restful and connected to the environment.
This yoga teacher training has exceeded my expectations.
It’s not just about the poses—it’s a journey of self-discovery, healing, and connection with nature and my inner self.
This training has taken me to the next level—not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
It’s been a life-changing experience."
