Haramara Retreat, Sayulita, mexico | May 30 - June 19, 2026
Awaken your path. Deepen your practice. Live your yoga.
This training is a pilgrimage into the heart of yoga, offering practitioners and teachers an opportunity to refine their path, recommit to their practice, and reconnect to the sacred. Through the lens of Dharma (purpose), Discipline (practice), and Devotion (heart), we will journey from inner inquiry to embodied expression.
Join me for a life-changing 3-week immersion in the sacred land of Mexico, where we will explore the profound dharma teachings of yoga to integrate these timeless practices into our daily lives. This training is designed for those who seek to deepen their understanding of yoga, not just as a physical practice, but as a way of life.
With over 25 years of teaching and 40 years of meditation practice, I lead from a place of deep devotion to bhakti yoga, guiding you through the rich teachings of yoga’s philosophy, meditation, asana, chanting, theming, and spiritual practice. Through this immersion, you will gain a deeper understanding of yoga’s ancient science, learning how to embody its principles to live with greater presence, purpose, and peace.
This 300-Hour Training Is For You If...
- You already hold a 200-hour certification
- You’re a teacher seeking inspiration, depth, and alignment
- You want to return to the seat of the student
- You crave immersion in sangha, study, and self
This immersion is for yoga practitioners, teachers, and seekers who wish to elevate their practice and teaching while staying true to the ancient teachings of yoga. You’ll leave not only with a deeper understanding of the dharma, but with the tools to live these teachings fully, radiating compassion, wisdom, and joy in your everyday life.
Come with an open heart, ready to explore the depths of yoga and to step into your true potential as a teacher and a practitioner.
Three-Week Thematic Structure
The training will be divided into three themes, each lasting one week, allowing you to explore yoga from the inside out:
Week 1: Dharma – Awaken the Path
Theme: Purpose, Presence & Inner Listening
Overview:
We begin with a return to what calls us. Dharma is the soul’s direction—the quiet truth we’re meant to live and share. This week centers on intention, alignment, and clarity, both in life and in teaching.
Focus Areas:
- Sankalpa (sacred intention) & the art of inner listening
- Discovering your dharma as a teacher and human
- Clarifying your unique voice and message
- Foundations of theming and teaching with purpose
- Meditation, mantra, and contemplative practices to guide insight
Core Question: What am I here to offer?
Week 2: Discipline – Strengthen the Vessel
Theme: Structure, Sadhana & Inner Fire
Overview:
Discipline (tapas) is the container that allows your dharma to take form. This week is about refining the physical, mental, and energetic systems through committed practice, ethical alignment, and honest self-inquiry.
Focus Areas:
- Deep dive into yamas, niyamas, and yogic ethics
- Advanced asana, alignment, and anatomy
- Daily sadhana (personal practice) and structure-building
- Teaching labs: voice, assists, sequencing
- Studying samskaras and pattern transformation
- Holding space and showing up authentically and in integrity
Core Question: What practices keep me clear, strong, and grounded on the path?
Week 3: Devotion – Embody the Sacred
Theme: Heart, Offering & Soulful Expression
Overview:
In the final week, we shift from self to service. Devotion (bhakti) reconnects us with the awe and reverence at the center of yoga. We explore how to lead from love, teach from essence, and live in sacred reciprocity.
Focus Areas:
- Bhakti yoga: mantra, prayer, ritual
- Teaching from love: presence, voice, and authenticity
- Soulful sequencing and inspired storytelling
- Devotion as both personal and collective healing
- Integration of the whole journey into your life and teaching
- Closing ritual: embodiment and offering
Core Question: How do I serve from the heart?
Integration & Completion
- Final teaching practicums and personal feedback
- Integration practices for life beyond the training
- Closing fire ceremony and dharma circle
