200hr Divinitree and Andean Yoga Teacher Training
in the Sacred Valley
The Divinitree teacher training focuses on learning intelligent sequencing and every student leaves with three yoga classes that they create themselves. We offer a thorough introduction to the eight limbs of yoga. As a vinyasa training, we focus on asana, alignment, and physical anatomy, but that is just the beginning. We have comprehensive pranayama and tantric breathwork practice offered daily as well as an introduction to the subtle body, the chakras, the vayus, Ayurveda, Indian and Andean philosophy. As a studio owner who has helped many yoga teachers evolve, Ann is passionate about sacred commerce and the business of yoga as well for those who want to make teaching yoga their career. For those looking to uplevel their health, go on a journey of the heart, and create their daily sadhana, this training is an amazing experience whether or not you aspire to teach.
Ann specializes in creative sequencing and helps people bring their practice to an edge. While the course is open to yogis of all levels, advanced practitioners will find that this course will uplevel their practice. The classes are designed intelligently so that we cater to every yogis needs and level. After three weeks of intensive training it's amazing the evolution that can happen, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Co-Teacher Daya Nimai Das
Daya Nimai Das, has been living in the Sacred Valley over the past decade, building community projects, teaching yoga and leading ceremonies, rituals and ancient native practices from the land.
He has hosted and guided a wide variety of groups and holistic retreats, sharing his passion for yoga philosophy, andean cosmovision, bodywork and sacred medicines.
Song carrier, talented musician and ceremonialist known for his sharing of mantras, native songs and folk / medicine music from around the world.
He is also the founder and director of the Andean Yoga School, where he has led, trained and certified hundreds of students across the globe.
Yoga is a lifestyle and in order to teach, we first and foremost need to practice.
This course is focused on self-inquiry and development and includes powerful manifestation work that will aid you in all facets of life. The yoga on the mat is just the beginning. We are highly inspired by the work of David Frawley and his work with yoga and ecology. More and more research is showing the benefits of nature therapy and one of the best parts of this training is that we get into these majestic mountains. We take you off the beaten track into breathtakingly beautiful places where we can connect with the nature spirits in all their glory.
Yoga is about union with our higher centers of perception and this training is an opportunity to study sacred texts, immerse yourself in asana, pranayama, meditation, ritual, adventure, community, and magic. We realize that yoga as taught in the west is a fusion of many sacred ways and paths: here we merge Vedic knowledge with Andean spirituality and ceremony in the heart of the world, the Sacred Valley of Peru.
We are carefully selecting participants to create an amazing container for this deeply transformative work. Participants must have the right attitude, an open heart, a willingness to serve the world, be up for adventure, able to go with the flow, and ready to leap into a new level of knowingness. Please be ready to fully commit to immersing yourself in the training and showing up for yourself and your fellow yogis.

Magical Adventures and Epic journeys included in your 200 hour ytt course:
We believe that the beauty of learning yoga in the Andes is being able to breathe some of the purest air on the planet. The power these mountains have to heal is profound and we respect and honor these Apus and the healing traditions preserved here in these sacred lands. We always start our journey together with a despacho the traditional way of honoring the earth and giving back while asking for blessings, protection, and permission to be here. We commit to treading lightly and we provide filtered water and ask everyone to bring their own reusable bottle. We take you off the beaten track into breathtakingly beautiful places in communities where we have family contacts. We will have two full hiking days together. One to a magical lakeside community where they still tend to their lamas, alpacas, and sheep. One of everyone's most memorable days is always our Huachuma hike- medicine is optional, but the journey itself is unforgettable!
