Something magical happens when you slow time and move into a truly dedicated period of mind-body training. Patterns that naturally surface during somatic movement can be integrated through skillful meditation, breath ceremony and spiritual guidance in this container.

Jenna and Aimee’s intention is to help you replenish your vital energy reserves and nourish your nervous systems - so that when you go home, you’re able to create from the fertile space between stimulus and response. Life becomes less reactive and more joyfully aligned.

Located at Brave Earth, a permaculture center for cultural transition, 40-minutes from Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica. A place that draws diverse and service-oriented humans from all over the world.

Serves as a 100-hour module of Yoga Alliance 200 YTT certification. 

Details for April 2025 Training

This 9 day training invites you to unplug, come to the jungle and immerse in a 100-hr Module of Yoga Teacher Training designed to build skillful living through yoga, breathwork, and contemplative practice.

This Training is ideal if:

• You want to feel deep, calm clarity in your body - without bypassing or denying hard truths and emotions.

• You want to reduce overwhelm and explore how shamanic, and contemplative breath together provide holistic human growth.

• You want to build an asana or yoga practice that is guided with HEART and clear habituated postural, breathing and thinking patterns.

• You already have a yoga or meditation practice and are ready to break personal plateaus and re-ignite your practice. 

• You want to train your nervous system to hold more love, and positive self-regard, and abundance.

• You’ve never taken a yoga or mindfulness training and assume “training is for someone else” - yet, you're ready and open to increasing your quality of life now.

• You’ve taken a yoga or mindfulness training before, and you are ready to learn both therapeutic and transformative yoga with Aimee and Jenna.

(There is the option to take YACEP 30-hr continuing Ed credit). 

Principles of Training:

• Animate Universe Theory: We anchor all teachings in an animate universe theory, which includes the breath and body as valid, innate and highly communicative wisdom keepers - which are never apart from nature.

• Polyvagal Theory: Using wisdom on how the vagus nerve regulates safety, stress, and connection we build skillful praxis for anxiety reduction. It identifies three states: calm (ventral vagal), fight or flight (sympathetic), and shutdown (dorsal vagal). It identifies 3 states that help in regulating emotions, healing trauma, and fostering resilience through co-regulation and body awareness.

• Breath-Led Asana: All asana, and meditation is breath-based and seeks to unlock postural and breathing patterns which hold intergenerational trauma and memory. Participants will learn breathing exercises to: release repression, active self-healing states, quiet the mind, and open the heart. 

• Spiritual Healing: By harnessing principles of positive psychology and quantum healing, AND connecting deeply with nature - we use powerful visualizations and future self activations to stabilize the Nervous System's capacity to accept new experiences, and disconfirm old out-dated ways of being.

• Human Development: Without bypassing social-psycho-emotional needs, the training emphasizes principles of authentic communication, emotional-learning repatterning, and Indigenous Kinship Worldviews which are aligned with evolutionary needs for human flourishing.

What will you gain?

Through a daily regime of ritual, meditation, asana, nervous system training, workshops, and breath ceremonies you will gain access to a broader spectrum of your creative and compassionate capacity. 

Specifically participants will learn: 

• How to move, and communicate authentically from their natural core/rightful seat. 

• How to rewrite and scribe new meaning to their life experiences, and how those experiences are held in the body. 

• Simple practices to bring calm, curious connection and courage to their felt experience of day-to day living and in terms of big life decisions. 

• To integrate new layers of somatic, sensory awareness in subtle and gentle ways that cause marked change in the Nervous System.

• Vagal toning and 5-Elemental yoga practices, alongside traditional Vedic and Ashtanga (8-Limbed) Yoga.

• More authentic capacity to engage and imagine the life they know if possible, and reduce self-protective behaviors.

This 9-Day training sets the stage for a life-long, inspired yoga practice which is FAR BEYOND the scope of modern yoga teacher training. It combines decolonial psychology and praxis, with functional movement, and spiritually rich vision.

“I can’t even say enough wonderful things about this Training. I took the Radiance 200-hr YTT, and I was completely blown away by the amount of love, support, and information I received. Whether hoping to teach or not, the transformative experience I had was one I will never forget...Everyone should take this training! Life-changing!”
