October 10-25 2026
This is the moment to step forward with your voice, your head, your heart and curiosity to embody your yoga, to live an Ayurvedic lifestyle in harmony with the natural world and to teach with your full passion.
Yoga Veda Vinyasa YTT returns with our signature 200-hour vinyasa teacher training grounded in the wisdom of Ayurveda, with a strong focus on embodied teaching, cultivating your unique voice, elemental sequencing, sharing yoga within the community and living yoga as a daily practice.
Our unique program is a 16-day immersion at Santuario Shala — a beach front, nature-immersed, purposefully designed retreat center created by Kameko as the home for Yoga Veda trainings. There is self-paced online learning before and after practice teaching and teacher lead follow up mentorship to ensure you feel comfortable and ready on the path of teaching and sharing yoga. This is includes a project of practice teaching in a unique community of your choice to ensure yoga and ayurveda are making it beyond a studio setting.
The training is led by Kameko Shibata (ERYT-500, MA Ayurveda) with anatomy lead by Courtney Chlouber ERYT-350. Yoga Veda is a Yoga Alliance–recognized school now in its 10th year, with over 100 graduates from programs held in both Mexico and the U.S.
Our foundational training emphasizes anatomy, alignment, teaching methodology, and self-inquiry — intentionally woven with the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras and grounded in the elemental principles of Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic foundation of this program supports not only technical skill, but also personal wellbeing, resilience, and holistic living. Our program is not only designed to ignite your passion for teaching but also your passion for yoga, mindfulness, ayurveda embodied in your daily life. This training is designed to give you the practical fundamentals to begin to teach but also is an excellent option for students who just want to deepen their knowledge of Yoga and Ayurveda in a nature based immersion.
Whether your intention is to elevate your teaching, deepen your personal practice, integrate Ayurveda, explore philosophy, or continue your professional evolution — this 200-hour training is a transformative pathway for growth and confidence, and on and off the mat.
