This is a 100 hour advanced study program for 200 hour certified yoga teachers.

This is an in-depth look at the delicate navigation of using yoga, Ayurveda and human potential work as therapy. The program offers yoga teachers, health professionals, and licensed practitioners alike, a deeper understanding of the inner workings of disease, it’s stages, and the impact that it can have on both the patient as well as the caregiver.

Our curriculum has been sourced from decades of study and experience in the field of Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda, Somatics, human potential lineages and other subtle body healing approaches. It is a blend of traditional yoga, Ayurvedic philosophy, trauma-informed yoga knowledge, therapeutic physical and cognitive practices, and our personal extensive experience with instigating and sustaining deep healing on all levels - physical, emotional and cognitive.

Students will learn the concepts, as well as the practical therapeutic application of a wide range of practices, techniques, and theories including:

traditional yoga poses and various modifications of those poses with props
pranayama for particular outcomes
how to guide meditation, prana vidya techniques, yoga nidra and other subtle body practices
cognitive awareness and emotional intelligence in relation to disease and trauma
therapeutic Ayurvedic physiology, functional yoga therapy, and somatic movement

The above practices and tools will provide our students with the necessary skills for teaching a therapeutic yoga class in a group setting, implementing a customized yoga protocol in a private setting, and/or offering viable therapeutic options and practices to clients within a professional health setting.

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!

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.
