BALANCE Training

My 300-hour YTT with Daniel Rama and Ness baker ..  in Mexico was more than a training—it was a journey inward. A beautiful reminder that yoga is not something we do, but something we live. Forever grateful for the wisdom, transformation, and connection this journey awakened within me. 🙏✨ Truly I never wanted to return ♥️♥️

Lovely trip and amazing training! The accommodations were fantastic, you can tell the staff really cares about how the spaces are present. Food was amazing, definitely kept us fueled and going back for seconds and dessert - loved all the food labeling as well, great for anyone with food sensitivities or dietary restrictions. Outdoor spaces and yoga shalas were meticulously maintained. If you are looking for a yoga training, choose Rama and Ness; you won’t regret it!

The 300-hour training was challenging, inspiring and incredibly rewarding. Rama is authentic and  knowledgable and has a way of making complex concepts accessible and easy to understand. His physical practice is next level and always fun to navigate. Ness Joel
and Nico were perfect additions to the team great teachers with their own individual styles. So grateful for the experience and the beautiful people I shared it with. This is my third training with Rama and definitely not my last. 

I highly recommend it, 100%.
Sending love to Rama and Ness, see you soon.

Chacala, meaning&nbsp;“where there are shrimp”&nbsp;in Náhuatl, is known as one of the most tranquil beaches along the lush Riviera Nayarit coastline.Travel is simple and convenient, with access through either Tepic International Airport or Puerto Vallarta International Airport. Tepic is the closest option, located just minutes from Riviera Nayarit.Between intensive training sessions, you’ll have access to Mar de Jade’s world-class amenities — a saltwater infinity pool, beachfront hammocks, a rejuvenating spa, and nourishing farm-to-table meals. The serene atmosphere, combined with the grounding presence of the ocean, creates the ideal environment for study, practice, and self-transformation. Beyond the training, you'll enjoy full access to Mar de Jade's world-class amenities, including a saltwater infinity pool, wellness spa, and beachfront hammocks perfect for relaxation. The serene atmosphere, combined with the grounding energy of the ocean and surrounding nature, creates the perfect setting for self-discovery and personal evolution. <h3>Accommodations &amp; Nourishment</h3>During your training, you’ll enjoy three daily meals in Mar de Jade’s communal dining hall, featuring vibrant, farm-to-table cuisine. Dishes are prepared with fresh, organic ingredients sourced from Mar de Jade’s own farm, designed to fuel both body and mind.Meals are served buffet-style with additional à la carte options, balancing health-conscious nutrition with the flavors of locally inspired Mexican cuisine. Whether sharing meals with your peers or reflecting quietly with an ocean view, dining becomes part of the practice — nourishing, grounding, and restorative.<h3>Room Rates</h3>NOTE - Rooms are assigned first come first serve. Room Rates are based on the number of occupants per room. Any changes in room occupancy will result in an adjustment to the per-person rate. For example, if you purchase Premium Double but we have an odd number of registrations and no one to share the room with you, Mar de Jade requires an additional fee of US$560 (essentially a discounted upgrade to Premium Single). The additional fee according to accommodation types are as follows:<ul><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Premium Single - Not Applicable</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Premium Double: $560 (adjusted tuition = $4,417)</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Basic Single - Not Applicable</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Basic Double: $420 (adjusted tuition = $4,011)</li></ul>To avoid additional fee's, Mar de Jade recommends registering earlier (first come first serve means whomever registers LAST may be liable for the additional fee, but not those who register earlier and are already paired up) OR with a friend or group of friends to ensure your room rate does not change.Contact <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:info@danielrama.com">info@danielrama.com</a> if you have any questions about additional fee's.
