Renew, Reset & Recharge Surrounded by the Lush Jungles

Join Sak Beh Yoga & Yoga Navan in the Mexican Caribbean jungle, for a 15-day immersion into the foundation of yoga teachings. You will learn two styles of yoga; Sivananda Hatha & Vinyasa, daily meditation, Pranayama and theroy classes. 

Our focus is to create a calm and intimate learning environment, to inspire students to connect with themselves and nature. We break up the long training days at this multifaceted property with; meditation around the Cenote (waterhole), shaded yoga classes under the tall jungle trees, lectures in the open air palapa, breath-work practice in the natural tree circle, philosophy classes in the hammock hangout space, discussions over the bonfire, and enjoy self-study sessions in the plenty of tables and lounge areas hidden around the property among tropical plants. 

This course also puts a focus on nutrition and meals, as we know that right nutrition is a key factor to endure long days of study with a healthy body and mind. All of the groceries are organic and all the fruit and vegetables are from local farms. The food is freshly prepared daily by our highly trained chefs, who will create exquisite and flavourful meals.

As a cultural experience and to honor the Mayan ancestry of this land, we will start the program with a welcome ceremony led by a traditional Shaman. Furthermore, we have included an optional Temazcal Ceremony to the program, which is an ancient Mayan tradition and a spiritual cleansing ritual still practiced today. It is a ceremony of purification and healing used to connect with the energies of nature and gives our students the opportunity to reconnect with the healing and spiritual energies of the Mayan.

At the end of your 15 day journey you will feel like a New You! You will be clear minded and you will feel confident enough to teach a Hatha/Vinyasa class and/or a Meditation/Pranayama class. You will find your specialty with your self-development and discipline. You will be renewed and you will go home a Yoga Teacher that is ready to share your new knowledge.

Join us if you are looking for a relaxed and natural settings to gain your 200 hour certification!

  Naia's journey with yoga began over a decade ago, and since then, she has been on an inspiring adventure. After earning her 200 HR Vinyasa Training certification, she dove headfirst into teaching full-time in the bustling city of New York. 

However, after years of the fast-paced lifestyle, Naia knew it was time for a change. So she embarked on a new journey, traveling the globe to teach yoga and explore new cultures. Along the way, she added 300 hours of training in India and continued to accumulate an additional 400 hours of training from various sources. 

These days, you can find Naia living a more peaceful and mindful lifestyle in the lush jungles of Bali and Nicaragua, where she continues to share her love of yoga with her students.

Naia is not only a skilled and experienced yoga teacher but also a warm, compassionate, and engaging individual. Her students appreciate her ability to connect with them on a personal level, creating a safe and nurturing space for their practice. Her infectious energy and positive attitude inspire her students to cultivate their own sense of joy and gratitude in their yoga practice and beyond.
