Where transformation begins, and every sunrise brings you closer to your true self.
Have you ever wondered what it's really like to take a deep dive into yoga teacher training—not just the asanas and anatomy, but the community, the nourishment, the spiritual unfolding?
At Lakshmi Rising Yoga & Wellness, our 21-day yoga teacher training immersions in Costa Rica, Portugal, and Italy are more than just a certification—they're a soul-shifting experience. We often say: You don't just learn to teach yoga here—you become yoga.
Let us take you behind the scenes...
Mornings Begin with Magic
The day starts with the sun kissing the hills, waves crashing in the distance, or mist rolling through the Monteverde forest. You slip into stillness with guided meditation and breathwork—awakening not just your body, but your deeper awareness.
This is where presence begins. This is where the world slows down.
Movement with Meaning
You'll flow through our signature Hatha Vinyasa sequences—12 thoughtfully designed classes that blend tradition with innovation, creativity with consistency. Whether you're an experienced practitioner or just starting out, these sequences are designed to empower you as both student and teacher.
Every class is a chance to embody yoga, not perform it.
Learning, Laughing, Living
Lectures aren't just lectures here. They're alive with discussion, storytelling, and laughter. From yogic philosophy and anatomy to teaching methodology, we blend classical wisdom with modern science—and make it stick through real conversation and experiential learning.
Expect breakout groups, creative assignments, and projects that help you find your authentic voice.
Nourishment from the Inside Out
Let's talk about the food—because it's unforgettable.
Our Gaia Gourmet meals are not just plant-based and ethical—they're vibrant, nourishing, and crafted with love. Each plate is a celebration of local ingredients and Ayurvedic balance. Think rainbow salads, soul-warming soups, and guilt-free desserts that feel like a hug from the Earth.
You'll never look at “healthy eating” the same way again.
The Tribe You Didn't Know You Needed
What really sets our YTTs apart? The people.
Students come from over 47+ countries, bringing stories, dreams, and open hearts. You'll laugh, cry, share, grow, and form deep bonds that often last a lifetime. Every cohort becomes a global family connected by yoga, growth, and soul-alignment.
By the end, you won't just be certified—you'll be changed.
It's More Than a Training. It's a Homecoming.
At Lakshmi Rising, we've guided over 1,300 yogis across the globe. Our programs are rooted in lineage, led with love, and built for transformation. Whether you join us in the jungles of Costa Rica, the hills of Italy, or the coast of Portugal—you'll walk away empowered, awakened, and ready to rise.
