This 15-day program is an after-care and relapse prevention program in Costa Rica for adolescents and adults who are medically stable, out of hospital care & crisis, and in need of support to transition back to college, job, and/or home.

Our program is specifically designed to support participants with eating disorders develop the ability to connect, find purpose, and take action through intention.

Our integrated therapeutic approach is intended to promote healing through embodied learning on all levels of your being. We share Ayurveda (physical), Yoga Therapy (emotional), and Human Potential (cognitive) models and practices which, together, has the ability to lead to lasting recovery.

We'll meet you where you're at and, from there, support you in uncovering the possibility that exists for you, your relationships, and your life.

Through body sensation awareness, increased safety in the body, and skills of acceptance and re-association, our program provides you with actionable steps and sustainable self-regulating practices that can cultivate an essential tool to support your eating disorder: choice.

And choice means freedom.

Our goal is to inspire people around the globe to have deep and meaningful practices both on and off the mat, to understand what it takes to be a truly powerful and authentic leader, and to use words and actions that support and nurture a healthy relationship to oneself and to others...so that our collective as yoga students, teachers, and humans will thrive - that is Swastha! Together we, Kevin McQuillan and Serena Arora, have taught, led, shared and witnessed the beautiful process of yoga in communities around the world for over 35 years and we are excited to build a community of teachers, practitioners, and leaders who are equally as committed to sharing, contributing, learning and being well together. We invite you here to our home in Costa Rica, on the road, and to call us into your own community to support growth and possibility - wherever you are in the world!

The 300 hour Conscious Alignment Training is a once in a lifetime experience that will stay with me for a long, long time. Not only did it increase my confidence in my yoga teaching, it also gave me the opportunity to see the root causes of the things that have played out in my life and that I may not be so pleased over. You could say it's a three week awareness of yourself training. Then you leave feeling inspired to keep working on yourself with an aim to stay on track and live a more fulfilling life. It's not an easy training, but so worth it!

By Camilla H for 300 hour Conscious Alignment Advanced Training on Nov 21, 2022

This was my third go around with Kevin and Serena. Each training built upon the previous and I was able to take a deeper dive into myself as a result. This last 100hrs I was able to start really making the connections I needed to embrace the changes happening in my life and my body. These last four years and the 500hrs I have been blessed to spend with these two has made me a better man, a better teacher, a better lover, son, father, friend, student.....a better human. I will forever consider these two special human beings as my teachers, mentors and friends.

I highly recommend this program. In all ways it exceeded my expectations. Incredible program, amazing instructors, beautiful facility, great food and accommodations

By Christa H for 100 hour Therapeutic Ayurveda Yoga Specialist on Feb 28, 2022

I had a great time at peace retreat in Costa Rica. I met fabulous people and made great "human experiences" which are so needed in the urban jungle called life. Unfortunately the beach was a bit far, so we could only go there twice during the whole training. But anyway the purpose of the trip was the YTT and not hanging out at the beach. Thanks to Kevin and Serena for this amazing experience.

By Lisa-Maria B for 200 hour Human Journey Yoga Teacher Training on Feb 17, 2022

My experience at Swastha was life changing. Kevin and Serena provided a safe, structured, holistic environment in which to truly connect with myself, the other students, and my yoga. I found a place of connection and self love I didn't know was possible. I learned how to nourish my body, mind, and emotions so that I can bring my complete self to the mat and to my students. I cannot recommend this program highly enough. I am not the same person I was before Swastha.
