Nosara Yoga Institute

Internationally recognized for its successful yoga teacher training programs, Nosara Yoga Institute is a registered Yoga Alliance school (RYS®) specializing in 200, 300, 500- and yoga teacher training tracks and RYT certification programs. Located amid the stunning beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, Nosara Yoga was founded in 1994 by Amba and Don Stapleton, PhD. In addition to yoga teacher certification training, the Institute also offers several daily 90-minute yoga classes open to the public. Nosara Yoga’s approach to teaching yoga goes beyond traditional poses and yoga styles to offer a vitalizing, life-opening experience of studying and practicing yoga. Specifically, it integrates the concept of inner inquiry into each training, incorporating mastery of yoga's principles beyond poses and breath — all to deepen your own yoga practice and to empower you to become an exceptional yoga teacher who will, in turn, inspire your own students. In addition, your experience at our nature preserve setting in Costa Rica will be enriched by the bonds of lasting friendships created with both yoga instructors and classmates from around the world who share your passion for yoga. For a life-altering foundation and approach for deepening your own yoga practice, for teaching yoga to others that transcends all other yoga training programs, or both, Nosara Yoga Institute is your oasis of yoga.
