Why should I take on this Training?
Maybe at this point you are wondering why you should make this
time - resource investment towards your education on becoming a certified yoga teacher.
These are some of the common places people came from before they decided
to make this commitment and life changing experience:
Here is the honest part: most people who want to teach keep waiting to feel ready. The ones who actually step in front of a room are not more flexible or more advanced — they were given a structure to practise inside, and a group that held them while they found their own voice.
Feeling uncertain about your life purpose.
You want to teach with confidence, not just memorize sequences.
You want tools for stress, anxiety, and regulation that work in daily life.
"Become a teacher from embodiment, not performance."
We’ll Help You Create Your Own Flow, Style & Presence!
A Hatha Vinyasa practice inspired by the three worlds of the Andean Cosmovision, where you will develop your own practice and the gift of sharing it with others.
REAL STORIES
What Students Say
The course consists of three parts. Every week is related to another world of the Andean Cosmovision and their respective energies.
STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE
THE THREE WORLDS
STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE
THE THREE WORLDS
WEEK 1 – UKU PACHA – MOTHER EARTH – THE SNAKE
WEEK 1 – UKU PACHA – MOTHER EARTH – THE SNAKE
In this first week, we give thanks and ask for blessings to enter this journey and participate in a Despacho Ceremony. A local shaman or Qero leads the offering to Mother Earth, also taking the opportunity to connect with our intention through the spirit of the Coca Leaf or Kintu.
We will study the different seated postures and a unique sequencing designed to warm up the spine and open the hips, chest, and shoulders. On the theoretical aspect of the practice, we will dive into the understanding of Yoga, its origins, development across time, the different schools, and their diverse proposals as a means of purification and achieving a deep connection and oneness.
We close our first week by connecting with a native American practice known as Temaskal or Sweatlodge, which essence is to connect our prayers with the heart of Mother Earth.
Learn a Basic Routine : Week 1
Learn a basic and effective way to share a chest and hip opening practice, introducing yogic breathing and proper alignment through each pose.
You will also learn about word economy, intonation, getting to know your students and how to cater to all their different needs.
WEEK 2 – KAI PACHA – THE PHYSICAL BODY – THE PUMA
WEEK 2 – KAI PACHA – THE PHYSICAL BODY – THE PUMA
We start our second week connecting with the teachings of the here and now, exploring the purpose and direction of our lives. We honor our personal experience and the capacity to share it with those we love. We will visit a local community and share the teachings of the Andean Cosmovision, related to the fantastic locals who have kept their traditions with a sense of gratitude and reciprocity.
On the asana portion of the practice, we will study the standing postures, explore vinyasa's nature, and connect our creative power to bring together different poses through dynamic and cohesive sequencing.
We will study the most relevant yoga literature in the philosophy classes, such as the Bhagavad Gita and The Patanjali Sutras. We will close the week with a spiritual pilgrimage to a sacred site around the area, where we will share a San Pedro Ceremony and put everything you have learned into practice.
Create your own sequence : week 2
On this portion of the practice you will use your creative power to
craft your own authentic offering with the assistance of our vinyasa teacher who will provide teaching material, explaining the different groups of asanas and the way how to create a unique flow in which you can link a wide range of postures, with proper alignment and awareness of the breath. This week you will also learn about yoga anatomy and receive a coaching session as on how to integrate all the different aspects in the wide spectrum of our lives.
WEEK 3 – HANAN PACHA - THE CELESTIAL WORLD – THE CONDOR
In our last week, we will transcend the conception and attachment of our identity. Learning how to see through the eyes of others and everything that surrounds us. We will contemplate that we are supposed to give back all that has been given. And that our soul's true purpose is to serve others.
We will revise Buddhist philosophy, the Ayurvedic Constitution, and the energetic body composed of the seven chakras. In practice, we will explore back-bendings and inversions, enabling the capacity within us to see things from a different perspective. We will take part in an ancestral sound healing journey and an Agni Hotra or Vedic fire ceremony for our graduation ceremony.
Beyond the Practice : week 3
On the last section of our program we provide the experiences leading towards a well rounded practice, tapping into the nature of inversions, back bendings and restorative postures. We focus on the energetic aspect of the practice to understand the subtleties of our body, learning the different techniques to provide a sense of completion and liberation. This week we learn about Chakras, Ayurveda, Thai Massage and Yoga Nidra.

Our Program
DESPACHO
When you arrive at the Sacred Valley, the best thing you can do is to introduce yourself to the spirits of the Land. This ancient practice is an invitation to participate and merge with these energies in order to carry out our healing journey.
The Despacho is a special arrangement of grains and candies, along with coca leaves in order to show our appreciation for everything we have received.
There are different kinds of offerings, but the most traditional one is designed to ask for permission from Pachamama (Mother Earth) and protection from the Apus ( Mountain Spirit).
The special bundle which is carefully elaborated with the help of ya local shaman is sealed and then offered as a gift, by being burned in the fire until the offering is consumed and therefore well received.
TEMAZCAL
Is a Native American practice that extends through the North and now fulfils the prophecy of the eagle of the cóndor, by arriving here to heal people living and traveling down south.
The Temaskal is one of the seven medicines brought by the mythological character known as the White Buffalo Calf Woman.
In this ceremony, we go into the Inipi, which represents the belly of Mother Earth.
Red volcanic stones come into the sweat lodge, to bring heat and blessings from our ancestors, putting us in the position to appreciate water, air, light, and the freedom to roam free in this world.
During the ceremony, we pray to the four directions, spirit animals, and the different stages of life. Singing Drum is the instrument through which these prayers are carried using native songs that have been passed on from generation to generation.
KIRTAN – CACAO CEREMONY
The preparation of this ceremony involves the preparation of a thick paste of cacao and coconut milk to reach a high-grade brew that activates the component known as theobromine in our bodies which expands our heart energy, opens the voice, and increases our awareness.
We combine this medicine with the Hindu - Bhakti tradition known as Kirtan, where we engage ourselves in devotional collective singing through the repetition of Mantras, engaging in deeper knowledge and understanding of the different aspects of the divinity
SAN PEDRO CEREMONY
The San Pedro or Huachuma is a native cactus, which acts as a powerful medicine plant that expands our consciousness.
Our medicine journeys combine the traditions of Native American Teachings and rituals from the Andean Cosmovision.
These ceremonies help us connect with our true nature and enhance our relationship with Mother Earth, Pachamama
By visiting these far-away Andean Communities, we help support their local economy, enabling them to keep up with their traditions and take care of their families and future generations.
SOUND HEALING
Everything in this universe is in a state of vibration and so are our physical bodies. Through a worldwide collection of ancestral instruments which are carefully played and crafted throughout this ceremony, we can assist in the transmutation of our emotional body through sound.
Comfortably laying down on the ground, feeling warm and grounded, we are in the position to relax and receive this vibrational medicine which allows the mind to surrender and allow our inner waters to flow freely, letting go of resistance, judgment, or heavy thoughts coming from our psychic field of energy.
BREATHWORK
Our breath is the medicine. The vital force or prana running through our bodies, when properly guided has the power to heal and remove any stagnated energy.
The conscious activation of this breath and their corresponding air passages, not only brings fresh oxygen and rejuvenated energy into the pranic body but also can lead us to revealing altered states by which we can remove the underlying impression which rest in the dark corners of our unconscious mind.
Different symptoms arise such as currents of hot and cold bodily temperatures, tension and relaxation of muscular tissues, parasympathetic responses that allow ourselves to relax into a state of deep healing. This ceremony is held in the most whole hearted way with experimented therapist who guide and support you in every step of the process.
And so much more...
Giving Back
We link our project to the upkeep of local traditions in the Andean region, supporting projects which enhance the sustainability of their lineage, language, and practices.
Among our goals, we share the ambition to create a Quechua School, protect and clean Sacred Sites, develop sustainable tourism in the local areas we visit, and bring joy into the lives of children through artistic expression and creativity.
Whether you are still debating taking on this journey or have already booked a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform your practice, here are some guidelines and frequent questions our previous students once asked.
Questions, answered
Is this teacher training for me?
This teacher training is for anyone who wants to learn a basic sequence and absorb the central teachings on yoga philosophy and Andean cosmovision.
Do I need previous experience?
You don't need previous experience; we will go step by step and guide you through the whole process. We have a teaching methodology that makes it easy to learn how to teach and practice safely progressively.
What if I want to take the course and not be a teacher?
Most people, believe it or not, come for the course's transformational experience; many don't even register for Yoga Alliance. It is excellent if you just want to establish a daily routine, travel abroad, meet a thriving community of like-minded people, and learn from a new culture.
Do we have any free time?
Yes, you'll have some free time daily and two resting days during our 22-day yoga experience. You are typically free every day after 6 pm unless you have homework or a personal assignment. At the end of every week, there is an entire day for you to catch up with any individual tasks. Otherwise and mostly, we recommend these days for resting and getting to know our beautiful local town and its people.
What kind of diet will we have during the course?
We will share vegetarian meals with vegan and gluten-free options during our course.
We can cater to any diet specification or food allergies. We use high-quality and locally grown products from around the area and are blessed to have a fantastic cooking team.
Where are we staying?
We will be staying at IntiKilla Retreat Center, a beautiful homestay with great mountain views on the outskirts of Pisac. We are situated in a private residential area, within walking distance from the center. We will be doing our practice and having our meals here.
When the house is full, we share our overflow with our neighboring retreat, Paz y Luz healing center. It's right next to the place where our program and activities are being held.
What are other kinds of services available?
During your stay with us, you will have access to wifi, gas heater showers, laundry service, tea station, fruit basket, additional holistic services upon request, and airport pickup.
Will I get a 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certificate at the end of the course?
Yes, once you have successfully completed our – 200-hour program, you will be encouraged to join the yoga alliance web page. Once you register and become a member, you will have only to submit your certificate, and we will confirm promptly upon receiving it.
What to bring to the course?
Warm Layers
Water bottle
Notebook and Pen
Sunblock
Bathing suit and towel
Backpack
Hiking shoes
Appropriate Yoga Clothing
Hat
When to arrive, when to leave?
We recommend coming at least one day before the training and leaving on the same day at the end of the course unless you have more vacation time and would like to enjoy all the other amazing things to do around the Sacred Valley and the Cuzco area. We can recommend places and connect you with different tour operators.
What are other things to do around the area?
After the completion of the course, we can recommend visiting beautiful hot springs in Lares and mystical mountains such as Ausangate and Rainbow mountain. You can also book your Machu Pichu journey with us. We will immediately put you in contact with our tour operator.
Yoga Alliance RYT 200
On completion you are registered with Yoga Alliance at RYT 200 level and can teach anywhere that recognises the standard.
THE CERTIFICATE
We will say the obvious thing: the certificate is the least interesting part of this. It matters, and you should have it. But nobody has ever come back years later to talk about the certificate.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO TEACH
Most people come for the experience of the course itself, and many never register with Yoga Alliance. It is a good way to build a daily practice, live in another culture, and meet people you keep.
NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED
You do not need an advanced practice. We go step by step, with a teaching method that builds safely and progressively.
