Yogis from far and wide meet in Nicaragua!!
Having taught Yoga Teacher Trainings for the past 6 years, it is fair to say that every course is unique, with its own group dynamic and character.

“I recently completed the 200 hours YTTC with Julia in Nicaragua, and enjoyed every minute of it. Before deciding on the course, I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to do the full 200 hours YTTC, or just 100 hours Yoga Intensive, but I am glad I did. Julia is an exceptional teacher who is…

Even in Nicaragua, I still love the traditions of Ashtanga Yoga!
I love Ashtanga Yoga. Over the past years, I have developed an Ashtanga Yoga practice and during my time in Nicaragua, Central America, it allows me to stay connected to what I learnt in India. I learnt Ashtanga Yoga in Goa during my travels. I couldn’t wait for my next session and was immediately…
