The Ayurveda Health Retreat hosts the YogaVeda school of Yoga and Ayurveda's Yoga Alliance-certified 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training.

​

Richard, Syama and Dhyana Masla are the co-founders of the YogaVeda School of Yoga and Ayurveda. Their synergy brings together the teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda. The creation of the YogaVeda Yoga School is a dream come true for them, a place where one may learn a holistic approach to life based on the ancient principles of Yoga and Ayurveda.

​

Students from YogaVeda have found they are able to transform their original reason for beginning yoga into an intention to strengthen their spiritual practice. It is our belief that with intention comes transformation. Connect to a deep source of inspiration as you gain the ability to guide others into theirs.

​

The YogaVeda School of Yoga and Ayurveda teacher training is based on the desire to serve others. Making the decision to become a certified yoga teacher allows you to create a life where your work and spiritual practice can become one.

Philosophy and Teaching styles

YogaVeda School of Yoga and Ayurveda certification programs give you the tools to grow in both your personal and professional life. We cultivate an environment of family and love, allowing personal relationships to blossom. Our small and intimate school allows you to not only learn to become a yoga teacher but to learn to become your most complete and full Self. We celebrate each moment and each student.

​

Our course includes the study of asana, meditation, pranayama, anatomy, yoga anatomy, yoga history and philosophy. You will also learn about yogic diet and lifestyle, and Ayurveda. The program includes 200 hours (180 contact hours plus personal study).

 

Daily meditation is a requirement of this 200 hour yoga training. Meditation helps us to become less identified with the body and is one of the Five Principles of Yoga. It is the practice by which there is constant observation of the mind. Daily meditation and journaling are essential to the training course. In the silence of the Self we cultivate our deepest inspiration to teach others.
