These Three Weeks Will Change Your Life.
One of the things I always hear from people who have graduated from my training programs is, "This program changed my life." Everyone says it for a different reason, but the sentiment is the same. This program is TRANSFORMATIONAL.
Yoga Teacher Training has helped people build confidence in movement after an injury, deepen their spiritual practice, helped people heal relationships, gain self confidence, find a life-long bff, change careers, and more. I can't tell you what little miracle you will experience through this program, but I can tell you it will be worth it.  When you sign up for Yoga Teacher Training with Kintsugi Yoga and Seek Yoga Collective, you are welcomed into a community that accepts you for who you are and will walk this path with you through darkness and light. We are here for it all.
PLUS, did we mention that we will spend THREE glorious weeks in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua where the jungle meets the sea? What are you waiting for?!

Location
Eden on the Chocolata is a hidden sanctuary on a lush hillside garden along the road known as La Chocolata. Each cabana is crafted to immerse guests in the natural beauty of Nicaragua—waking to the songs of tropical birds, the rustle of palms in the breeze, and the warm glow of sunrise over the bay. The design invites connection to nature while wrapping visitors in comfort, ease, and hospitality.
The retreat boasts incredible amenities: a shaded rancho and yoga deck that overlook the sparkling waters of Nacascolo Bay, a pool that beckons for a cooling dip, and a jungle gym tucked into the trees. For deeper renewal, traditional temazcal ceremonies are held on-site, offering a powerful cleansing experience, followed by a plunge into crisp, refreshing waters to awaken every cell of the body.
Just beyond Eden’s gates lies Nacascolo Bay, a gentle walk through the countryside. Its sweeping shoreline is quiet and unspoiled. San Juan del Sur is a vibrant town filled with cafés, beachside restaurants, and music that carries into the night. From Eden, the town is only a 10-minute drive or a scenic 30-minute walk, giving guests the freedom to move seamlessly between peaceful retreat and coastal adventure.
At Eden, every detail invites balance—the vitality of nature and the comforts of home, the thrill of exploration and the sweetness of stillness, the fire of transformation and the cool embrace of restoration.

Daily Schedule
Each day in our 200-hour yoga teacher training may look a little different. We aim to find a balance between structured learning and experiential learning. Throughout each day, there will be breaks and a varied schedule to help participants integrate the content. Every Monday you'll have a half day off after your morning meditation and asana practices and a short morning lecture so that you can enjoy the natural environment and explore all that San Juan Del Sur has to offer. You’ll experience the power of living yoga on and off your mat.
Â
Sample Schedule:
6:30 am Optional Kriya Sadhana
Begin the day in stillness and sacred practice. Each morning before training, students are invited to join in an optional Kriya Sadhana—an immersive meditation practice from the Himalayan lineage. Through breath, mantra, mudra, and silence, this sadhana awakens inner energy, deepens focus, and prepares body, mind, and spirit for the day’s teachings.
7 am Optional Flight ClubÂ
For those who love to play and push the edges of practice, Flight Club is a lighthearted, energizing morning session focused on arm balances and inversions. Together we’ll explore the foundations of lift-off—strength, alignment, and trust—while breaking down challenging postures in a supportive space. Expect laughter, sweat, and the joy of discovering new possibilities on your mat.
7:30 am Meditation
Rooted in the Himalayan tradition, Sattva Meditation is a profound practice that blends breathwork, kriya, mantra, and stillness to awaken higher states of awareness. This technique clears the mind, balances energy, and deepens connection to the Self—offering a direct experience of clarity, peace, and inner expansion.
8 am Asana Practice
A dynamic, intelligently sequenced class designed to strengthen the body, focus the mind, and awaken energy. In just one hour, this practice moves through grounding postures, fluid vinyasa, and intentional breathwork—leaving you both energized and centered for the day ahead.
9 am Breakfast
Nourishment begins each morning with a vibrant, garden-to-table breakfast. Fresh tropical fruits, locally grown vegetables, and wholesome plant-based creations are prepared with care to fuel body and mind for the day’s practice. Rooted in Eden’s principles of sustainability and wellness, each meal is both abundant and intentional—healthy, fulfilling, and always a delicious surprise.
10:30 am Morning Lecture
Each day begins with an inspiring lecture that bridges ancient wisdom with modern practice. These sessions dive into yoga philosophy, energetic anatomy, and the art of teaching, offering tools that expand both personal practice and professional skill. Rooted in tradition yet practical for today, the lectures set the tone for deep learning and meaningful integration throughout the day.
1Â pm Lunch + Free Time
Recharge and savor the midday pause. Enjoy an optional lunch at Eden, take a refreshing dip in the pool, stroll to the nearby beach and catch some waves, or simply rest and soak in the surroundings. This unhurried break gives space to nourish the body, reset the mind, and prepare for the afternoon sessions with renewed energy.
3 pm Afternoon Lecture or Practice Teaching Session
Afternoons are dedicated to deepening understanding and hands-on learning. Engage in thought-provoking lectures that explore philosophy, anatomy, and advanced techniques, or step into the role of teacher in guided practice teaching sessions. These experiences cultivate confidence, sharpen skills, and bridge knowledge with real-world application—preparing each participant to embody and share the teachings with clarity and presence.
5 pm Evening Practice
Unwind and restore with a gentle evening session designed to balance the day’s energy. Our evening classes with usually be Yin or Yoga Nidra. These practices support recovery, integration, and a sense of calm—preparing body and mind for restful sleep and reflection.
6:30 pm Dinner
Each evening, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared 3-course vegetarian dinner, inspired by flavors from around the world. Mealtime is a chance to connect with fellow trainees, share stories, and savor nourishing food that delights the senses. Every dish is crafted to balance taste, wellness, and community, making dinner a highlight of the day’s journey.
7:30 pm Evening Ceremony
As the day winds down, gather for evening ceremonies designed to honor intention, reflection, and connection. These sacred gatherings may include guided meditations, book discussions, mantra chanting, ritual practices, or collective reflections, offering space to integrate the day’s experiences and deepen awareness. Participants can expect a calm, supportive environment that nurtures inner stillness, spiritual exploration, and a sense of community.

Investment
Investing in yoga teacher training goes beyond learning to teach—it’s a transformative journey of self-discovery, growth, and deepened practice. While you might sign up expecting to refine your poses and gain teaching skills, you end up with so much more: a stronger mind-body connection, lifelong friendships, personal empowerment, and tools for emotional resilience. The time, energy, and resources you put in return far more than a certification; they unlock a profound shift in how you move through life, embodying the principles of yoga both on and off the mat. We can't wait to support you on this journey!

"I had practiced yoga asana inconsistently, on and off for about 5 years before finding a home base at Cat’s studio. I ended up joining the 200 hour YTT cohort after being involved in the community for a few months and it had widely changed my life. My health soared, my confidence beamed, and my goals became more grounded and clear. The training itself was so much more than just practicing the physical asanas (however, my personal practice jumped leaps and bounds); The spirituality and connectedness I had with myself and others was profound during this YTT. The knowledge, support, and disciplined Cat provided was exceptional and her training went beyond my expectations. She is a mentor and a friend for life, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to set any aspiring yogi up for success."

Issa, 2023 YTT Graduate
"I was lucky to have Cat train me during my 200 hour YTT. It was a life changing experience for me to learn from and with her. Cat has a gift of making each of her students feel seen and valued, while also pushing us to dig deeper and challenge ourselves. Her depth of knowledge and teaching skills are top notch. I cannot recommend Cat highly enough and would encourage anyone interested in one of her trainings to take the leap. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Cat, for having a hugely positive impact on my life and yoga practice."

Kelly, 2020 YTT Graduate
"I hadn't thought about doing 200 YTT until I met Cat. Knowing how mindful, intentional and open Cat is as a teacher, I knew that her training would embody those same values. I had no intention of becoming a yoga teacher but to just enjoy this experience, deepening my practice and to learn more about myself. Cat has created something beautiful for her students; a safe place to learn and share without judgement, strong supportive mentors and an incredible journey of self discovery. Not only did I learn everything I was hoping to learn from a technical standpoint, I have pushed myself further than I thought possible. So beyond grateful to Cat and her team."

Shanti, 2023 Graduate
Embarking on Cat’s Yoga Teacher Training was a game-changer. Under her guidance, I didn’t just learn to teach yoga—I uncovered a deeper connection to my practice and a newfound confidence.
Fast forward four months post-graduation I found myself leading a bilingual class at the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Amphitheater for Yoga On The Rocks also under Cat’s mentorship. This dream-turned-reality speaks volumes about Cat’s incredible training.
Her passion and expertise created an environment that fostered not just learning but personal growth. Cat’s teachings continue to empower me on and off the mat. Forever grateful for this transformative journey!
Blerta, 2021 Graduate
I am not an individual that believes on luck, but rather in miracles. Cat was the miracle I needed in order to transform my life. While today I am not a yoga teacher in a studio, I am a yogi advising a prime minister. Thanks to Cat’s dedication and expertise, I was able to release blocked channels within me that kept me from expressing my fullest potential.
Chanty, 2020 Graduate
Cat is the reason yoga became my passion! When I knew nothing about it, she introduced me to this incredible practice, and her teachings made me absolutely fall in love with it. She's not just a mentor; she's been my rock. Cat saw my dream to teach, and she's poured hours of her time into shaping me into the yoga teacher I am today. Her support during my 200-hour and 300-hour training was everything. Now, I live and breathe yoga, teaching with all my heart and always learning. Cat has been by my side, sharing her wisdom every step of the way. I'm forever grateful for her guidance as a person, a student, and now, a teacher. I can't recommend Cat's training enough—it's life-changing! Her dedication to passing on her knowledge is amazing, and she's made this journey an incredible experience.
