300hrs RYT Sacred Path Yoga Teacher Training

September 1 – 30, 2026
Cali and Caribbean Coast, Colombia

Therapeutic yoga, devotion, and sacred immersion

A 30 day 300-hour therapeutic yoga teacher training held within a traditional Bhakti ashram, rooted in lineage and devotional practice. This training is designed for certified yoga teachers who feel called to deepen their practice through yoga, Ayurveda, and embodied devotion.

Held across two beautiful locations in Colombia—beginning in the mountains of Cali and concluding near the Caribbean Sea—this training balances disciplined study with integration, rest, and reflection.

The Bhakti Ashram is a family-led space, facilitated by teachers with over 13 years of experience guiding international trainings. Chaitanya Nitai Das and Shyam Vallabhi Devi Dasi are partners in life and in teaching, stewarding the school together alongside their extended spiritual family. Their two children also accompany them at the ashram and are a natural, playful presence throughout the training. Their inclusion reflects a Bhakti way of life where spiritual practice is not separate from family or relationship.

This training is offered bilingually in English and Spanish.

An Immersive, Two-Phase Journey

Students begin immersed in the daily rhythm of ashram life at the Yogendra Ashram in Cali, Colombia. The training then transitions to the Caribbean coast near Tayrona National Park for a period of integration and assimilation.

This dual-location format supports both depth and spaciousness—intensive study held within a devotional container in the mountains, followed by time to embody and digest what has been learned near the beautiful coast.

Who This Training Is For

This training is designed for certified yoga teachers who have completed a 200-hour training and wish to teach with greater therapeutic sensitivity, confidence, and discernment. It is also appropriate for experienced bodyworkers and healers who want to integrate yoga, Ayurveda, and Bhakti practice more fully into their work.

It is especially well suited for practitioners who value lineage, depth, and lived practice, and who are interested in yoga as a healing art rather than a fitness modality. Graduates leave equipped to offer complete yoga classes and therapeutic support grounded in tradition, relationship, and embodied presence.

Life Inside the Bhakti Ashram

Life in the ashram follows a real, daily spiritual rhythm rooted in the Bhakti Yoga tradition.

Each morning begins with sangha in the temple—meditation, pranayama, kirtan, and teachings from the Bhagavad Gita. These practices shape the learning environment and inform the school’s approach to yoga as a path of healing and service.

The ashram is family-led and lived in. Chaitanya Nitai Das and Shyam Vallabhi Devi Dasi steward the school together, alongside their children and extended spiritual family. Their presence reflects a Bhakti way of life where practice is inseparable from relationship, community, and daily life.

The Locations

Cali, Colombia — Yogendra Ashram

Nestled in the Farallones mountains just outside the historic San Antonio neighborhood, the ashram is surrounded by tropical rivers, open sky, and vibrant greenery. This setting supports focused study, daily practice, and community life.

Costa Caribe — Santa Marta y Región Tayrona

The second phase unfolds near the Caribbean Sea, where jungle meets ocean. This portion of the training emphasizes rest, integration, and relationship with the natural world, allowing the teachings from the intensive phase to settle and mature.

Training Structure and Approach

The 300-hour training is organized as interconnected therapeutic modules. Each module may be taken independently or combined toward full certification.

Students completing the full program experience the modules as a coherent whole, supported by daily Bhakti practice, mentorship, case studies, and embodied integration. The learning is allowed to unfold organically into a unified therapeutic approach.

Core Areas of Study

  • Therapeutic Yoga & Restorative Applications (100 hours)
  • The heart of the training. Students learn to adapt yoga for a wide range of physical, emotional, and nervous system needs, with emphasis on safety, responsiveness, and accessibility. Study includes restorative, chair, yin, and Yoga Nidra practices, therapeutic sequencing, client assessment, breathwork, mantra, and hands-on tools informed by Thai massage and kinesiology taping.
  • Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy (100 hours)
  • Ayurveda is taught as a living system for understanding constitution, imbalance, and restoration. Students learn to work with daily rhythm, movement, breath, food, oil therapies, and lifestyle support. Training includes Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Ayurvedic cooking, women’s health, hormonal balance, and applied case studies.
  • Thai Yoga Massage & Healing Touch (50 hours)
  • Thai Yoga Massage is introduced as both a therapeutic modality and a meditative practice of presence. Students learn a complete 90-minute sequence while cultivating sensitivity, breath awareness, and sustainable ergonomics.
  • Vedic Wisdom, Bhakti Practice & Conscious Design
  • Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), Human Design, and the Bhagavad Gita are explored as contemplative tools for self-study, alignment, and service—presented as mirrors for inquiry rather than predictive systems.
  • Supporting & Integrative Studies
  • Advanced asana and hands-on assists, trauma-sensitive approaches, teaching methodology, mentorship, and values-aligned guidance on the business of yoga are woven throughout the month. Students are supported in clarifying their voice and cultivating a sustainable teaching path.

Excursions and Integration

The training includes nature immersion in the Cali region, cultural exploration of local markets and neighborhoods, and time on the Caribbean coast designed for rest and integration. Optional ceremonies, meditation walks, journaling, and personal practice support assimilation on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
