Program Certifications
Students who complete their training are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®).
The training is designed to give students an immersive and life-changing experience. The Divinitree training is a yoga journey, a vision, a quest, and epic adventure of self-discovery, into and beyond the self. This is not your average teacher training. DiviniTree Yoga will cover all the bases and yet, this is truly an opportunity to step into your own power, your own vision, and your own voice.
DiviniTree Yoga specializes in Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and teaches students how to design and weave together their own class following the rules of intelligent sequencing. You will learn a breakdown of over 70 asanas with various modifications and variations to either accommodate newer practitioners or to bring flight to the practice with arm balances and inversions. Kundalini yoga, Yin yoga, Restorative yoga, and Tantric yoga will be introduced by the truly masterful group of guest teachers.
Yoga is a lifestyle and in order to teach, you first and foremost need to practice. This course is focused on self-inquiry and development and includes powerful manifestation work that will aid in all facets of life. The yoga on the mat is just the beginning. During the course, you will learn to safely and creatively design classes, find your voice as a teacher, and delve deep into yogic philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda, and so much more.
This particular course also involves an introduction to herbalism, sound healing, Thai massage classes, and nature therapy. You will study five days a week, have one day for an adventure to local beaches and waterfalls, and one day to rest, do homework, and enjoy the beauty of this remote part of Maui.
A unique yoga training on a farm in Maui. You will be breathing clean air, jumping in waterfalls, and working with powerful herbs that will boost your immunity and keep you healthy. The farm is remote and very clean.

Ann & Sal
YOUR YOGI RETREAT HOSTS
Ann Averbach, E-RYT 500
Lead Teacher
Ann is the founder of DiviniTree Yoga & Arts studio. Ann is deeply committed to helping others transform their lives through yoga. Founder of DiviniTree Yoga Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, Ann’s mission is to help build conscious community. She studied anthropology and Eastern religion at Northwestern University and has a masters degree in Education. Her classes are uplifting, creative, inspiring, and full of wisdom. She lives and breathes yoga and community, and is committed to helping yogis on the path of awakening to live more authentic lives that are in harmony with the earth.
Ann has spent over 15 years committed to learning and teaching yoga in its many diverse forms all around the world. From the Himalayas to the Amazon and from Fiji to Kenya, Ann has been harvesting seeds of wisdom and weaving together a tapestry of transformational tools into her life and teachings. Known for her deeply spiritual and yet highly athletic classes.
Ann's classes are meant to bring practitioners to an edge and are based on the belief that when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones and walk the edge we truly live. Fusing vinyasa with the freedom and femininity of dance, the awareness of subtle energy work, weaving in positive affirmation and awareness of our internal dialogue, Ann's inspired vinyasa flow is known for its intense strength building, strongly intention-based nature, and deeply intuitive, liberating, circular movements.
She brings a deep reverence for the earth into her offerings and helps build conscious community around the planet. Ann leads transformational yoga journeys, workshops, and teacher trainings around the world. Ann splits her time between Hawaii where she lives in a permaculture community, and the sacred valley of Peru. Ann has been running retreats in Maui for 6 years and her local connections allow us a very special opportunity to connect with the remote community.
Sal
Yoga Teacher and Guide
Sal’s passion is to guide clients through ancient practices of physical yoga, spiritual philosophy, chanting and breathing. She loves slowing down with students and building the internal awareness in this fast paced society. She believes Yoga is for everyone, it isn’t hiding in a corner waiting for seekers. Perhaps, yoga is the society of those choosing love and demonstrating devotion, evolving with and from the timeless concepts of spiritual oneness, and slowly moving forward with those. Perhaps…
Grounding down into the physical body so we can ascend spiritually, Sal coaches her students to invite emotion, feeling, and personal story into their poses. Yoga is not a simple combination of alignment and balance. Using Sanskrit, myth, modern approach, and praise be, Grace, she continues to explore the roles of lifeguard, physical therapist, coach and storyteller that are inherent in “teacher.”
Sal trusts in the unknown and faith in humanity to grow exponentially, as she looks back on how her path has changed during the “pandemic,” and is honored to assist in this training. The heart nods with certainty that there are people with whom we are meant to heal.
Presence teaches patience. To begin and finish classes with intention setting, OM, and gradual movement. Curiosity and compassion are our allies. Sal’s favorite classes to teach are hatha style, Iyengar wall, vinyasa flow, yin and restorative, beginner level, kids, special needs, and injury/athlete recovery. She typically assists others in her classes with hands on adjustments, verbal cues, demonstrations of sequences, or by energetically holding space.
Asana (movement) is only one branch of the beautiful yogic tree, and she is inspired to teach many other types of “yoga.” My lineage of teachers ranges widely from technical, to mechanical, to enjoyably silly and loose, and her life goal is to always be a student. “If you listen, they will teach you.” The trees, the sweat, a book in your library, and everything in between are the instructor.
Sal’s teaching blossomed in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where she taught over 500 classes and workshops at a range of studios. She has also joined the staff at Steamboat Movement Fest, Sonic Bloom, Arise, Eclipse, Gem&Jam, Suwanee Hulaween, and other large gatherings.
Sal vows to go as lightly as possible through this world in order to step sweetly and fully receive the gifts of abundance, however they show up.
Her heart bursts when she joins in on retreats and yoga teacher trainings. She has been fortunate enough to have practiced in Peru, Costa Rica, Bali, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and all over the continental US.
Friends and community help me pray for peace, one moment at a time!
Sarah Beth
Beth is our host and master chef. She starts growing extra food for our retreat months in advance so that we can eat primarily from her extensive gardens. Beth specializes in nourishing and wholesome foods and since her farm has a number of animals, we will have options for both vegans and omnivores.

Testimonials
"Prior to going to Peru for Yoga Ceremony, I had barely scratched the surface of my personal yoga practice. Yoga Ceremony helped me deepen my practice through physical asana breakdowns and daily yoga classes, but for me, it has been so much more than that. Yoga Ceremony has taken me on a journey to my true Self through my love of yoga and my curiosity of life with the assistance of healing and medicinal plant spirits. I learned how to use my voice and know with confidence that my words matter. Yoga Ceremony has given me the ability to truly take yoga off of the mat and into my real life. Yoga Ceremony was intense but it was the experience of a lifetime. Not only do I feel prepared to facilitate yoga classes, I feel prepared to continue on my path of living a holistic, yogic life. I am looking forward to taking other trainings offered by Ann Averbach and Sebastian Hansen." - Mara J. Ruth
