    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.  My Yoga Teacher Training Courses in Nicaragua are residential and so it is always an interesting experience to see how friendships form amongst peers and how each character […]

  • My Spiritual Journey in Nicaragua

    I am in the second week teaching the Yoga Philosophy module of the YTTC here in Nicaragua.  I have been teaching Yoga Philosophy now for 3 years and it is a subject that is close to my heart.  Having accessed the practice of yoga, like many of us, through the physical aspect of the yoga, […]

    200 hours YTTC in Nicaragua, by Ann-Marie

    “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 […]

    Ashtanga Yoga and surf……it’s all about shoulder stability!!

    I think it is fair to say that I am dedicated to my Ashtanga Practice.  My day is just not complete unless I have rattled through the series from start to finish, 60 Chaturanga Dandasanas and all.  After 5 years of practice, I am staring to reap the benefits. At school, I was the slowest […]

  • Surf versus yoga…in Nicaragua at the camp!

    Surf versus yoga…in Nicaragua at the camp!

    So surfing has been relegated during the 200 hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course here at Los Clavos Surf Camp, Nicaragua…there just aren’t enough hours in the day to teach the 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training Course, single handed, and get an all-important Primary Series in also.  Yoga wins hands down every time. But today, on […]

    Surf and yoga at Los Clavos Surf Camp, Nicaragua

    Meet Kate!  Kate was a solo traveler and stayed with us at Los Clavos Surf Camp, Nicaragua for a week.  I asked her to write about what she learned during her stay in terms of yoga and surf.  I am sure you will agree….she had a productive week. A surf and yoga combo is an […]

    200 hr YTTC, Nicaragua…it’s happening!!

    My first solo YTTC in sunny Nicaragua will start this weekend and I am so excited.  As my students start to arrive, I am sitting overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Nicaragua and thinking back to my 200 hours YTTC in India, just 5 years ago.  I cannot say that it seems like yesterday…to the contrary, it […]

    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 […]

    10 reason to do your Yoga Teacher Training at Los Clavos Surf Camp, Nicaragua

    Los Clavos Surf Camp right on the beach and the resort has amazing views of the Pacific Ocean.  This means you can have some serious beach time in between yoga classes!  The resort sits on a 7km stretch of untouched beaches with barely a soul in site. You can learn how to surf.  It’s possibly […]

It has been an amazing year with heaps of yoga in a fun and progressive setting. This photo says it all.​​​​​​​​ If only we could fully appreciate how amazing the human body is! As self-confessed anatomy geeks, we absolutely love Yoga Anatomy...and it is a huge feature on our courses.​​​​​​​​ Teaching breathwork and meditation is a beautiful and relaxing part of the course.
