Kula Collective

Punta Mona Retreat Center,
Gandoca National Refuge, Manzanillo,
Limon, Costa Rica

We host Yoga Teacher Trainings in beautiful and sacred locations around the world. Our Trainings are holistic programs, helping us to understand Yoga through first understanding Self... in body, mind, and soul. We use the Andean Cross (Chacana) as a guide and foundational structure for the course, leading us through each of the three worlds of the Chacana and allowing us to focus on different levels and types of movement, diet, and meditation in each (for more information on our syllabus visit our Curriculum Page). We bring to life the ancient teachings of Yoga through accessible spiritual lessons, a solid foundation in Yogic philosophy, and a daily Yoga practice. Please look through our calendar of upcoming trainings or choose the level of course you're looking for to begin the journey.

Kula Collective's vision of a global awakening of spiritual consciousness means we are dedicated to making sure our services benefit the communities that need them the most. We strive to be inclusive and open in everything we do. As we create abundance, we share abundance, along with the tools we have used to envision and plan for it amongst ourselves.

Holding this intention, we are committed to living our vision and ensuring that our offerings will be healing and regenerative for our students and the communities that host us alike.

In order to do this we’ve developed the Kula Karma program, detailed below in three distinct elements. These activities aim to address the most deeply-rooted challenges in today's society through the facilitation of authentic personal discovery, combined with the conscious development of interpersonal relationships and intercultural respect. We are all in this together.

Within each of us lies a guru, a wise one who knows the truth behind each of our thoughts, words, and actions, an ancient soul that sees through to the essence of all things and knows all there is to be known.

Through our RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Trainings we will help reveal the voice of this wise one, giving you the tools and language you need to share the spiritual practice of yoga and empowering you to trust in the channel of truth you carry.
The Kula Collective offers a variety of different programs of study that all fall within the Yoga Alliance RYT-200 standards. Each of our programs is unique and channels the wisdom and gifts of the particular facilitators that offer them. Throughout each program runs a common thread that unites our offerings - the deep respect for ancient wisdom and tradition, the passion for creative spirituality and the strong connection our collective has with the natural environment.

As we explore the fusion of the ancient and mystical traditions of Yoga, Shamanism and Ayurveda, we step into the Wisdom of Self (Vidya). Yoga (union with the Divine), Shamanism (interaction with the spirit world) and Ayurveda (the Hindu science of health and medicine) are all practices designed to grant us access to the infinite wisdom we carry within ourselves.

In addition to meeting the Yoga Alliance standards for teaching methodology, anatomy, yogic theory and special education, Kula Collective's RYT-300 hour YTT Courses focus on the expansion of our own sacred consciousness. By releasing the stories and holdings that no longer serve us, we create more space to see our gifts, our passions and the essence of who we are as teachers and beings on this path of Light and Oneness.

Once we have connected to the essence of the true teacher within, we are able to integrate the wisdom of our own yoga with the deep wisdom of Native American earth medicine, shamanic practices, subtle energy systems and other healing practices of the world. The ancient knowledge of these teachings provide the tools and understandings for us as teachers to weave together authentically inspired intentions and themes into our practice and into our classes.
