About Specialized & Continuing Education
Our continuing education courses are fully residential, meaning you will step away from the noise of daily life to fully immerse yourself in learning. You will not find city distractions here; instead, our digital-detox environment allows you to focus entirely on your craft, sharing farm-to-table meals and study sessions with a community of fellow teachers right by the river.
For yoga teachers looking to expand their toolkit, our continuing education programs (YACEP) offer a bridge between traditional wisdom and modern application. These short-term, intensive courses are designed to help you integrate specialized knowledge into your existing teaching practice.
Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Led by senior teacher Marcela Frey, who brings over 35 years of experience, our Yin Yoga program focuses on the anatomical and energetic aspects of the practice. You will study meridian theory, connective tissue anatomy, and the art of sequencing long-held postures. This course is about learning to teach stillness—helping your students find release and nervous system regulation in a fast-paced world.
Trauma-Informed Yoga
This training is essential for teachers and healthcare professionals aiming to create safer, more inclusive spaces. Facilitated by psychotherapist Kali Buttrick, we move beyond theory to explore the neuroscience of trauma, Polyvagal Theory, and the window of tolerance. You will learn practical, evidence-based tools to foster autonomy and interoception in your students, ensuring your classes support healing rather than just physical exercise.
Why Train With Us?
Being Yoga Alliance accredited, our programs provide valid continuing education hours, but the value goes beyond the certificate. Because we are an ashram built on a riverside organic farm, your training is accompanied by a change in lifestyle. You will practice in open-air halls, eat vegetarian meals grown on our land, and live in eco-huts built from local materials. This environment is intentionally simple—no AC, no constant connectivity—allowing you to return to your students with a clearer perspective and a deeper sense of presence.
AyurYoga Eco-Ashram
We are a traditional ashram situated on an organic farm along the river in Mysore. Our life here is simple and guided by the rhythms of nature, creating a quiet space where you can study, practice, and genuinely connect with the healing traditions of yoga.
