Pavones Yoga Center

I attended the 200 Hour teacher training in July and could not be happier that I found Indira and the little paradise in the jungle that is PYC. The grounds are beyond beautiful, especially the yoga studio with the view of the surrounding area and ocean. After sessions in the studio, I would find myself and many others in my class just sitting and appreciating the environment around us, getting in tune with Indira's unique focus on ecopsychology in her training. Indira clearly has put a lot of time and energy into creating a program that allows you to completely let yoga into your life. My experience was heightened by the way that Indira and Alex, her husband who cooks beyond delicious vegetarian meals, welcomed us into their space and treated the group like family for the month. I cannot wait to return to PYC to learn more about yoga, but also to a space that effortlessly lends itself to self-exploration and a focus on the present moment.

Awesome in all respects.....the learning, the challenge, but most importantly, the people that come together, teachers, students, staff, that make this program second to none! Thank you all for this shared and most meaningful experience 🙂

Pavones Yoga Center is absolutely incredible! If you have the chance to study here, it is truly a must. Amazing, deeply knowledgeable teachers, delicious, organic & creative vegetarian meals, gorgeous views from the most epic yoga deck, and comfortable, clean, well maintained living areas. I completed the 300 hour YTT program at Pavones Yoga Center... The Art of Flow, Anatomy of Self, & Integrative Healing Yoga Therapy... All equally amazing and informative. After completing each program I felt more confident in my teaching abilities and inspired to share what I had learned with my own students at home. This place is magical, don't miss it!

Pavones Yoga Center is truly heaven on earth. I was part of the very first 200 hour RYT training in 2012 and it completely changed my life. To this day I have not practiced with or learned from a better teacher than Indira and the energy of PYC is simply magical. From studying or retreating at PYC you can expect your practice, heart, mind, body and soul to flourish in every way, delicious food and art from Alex Lanau, as well as the amazing opportunity to connect with nature and in doing so come in closer connection with yourself. PYC will always be one of the places I call home. PYC is perfect for new yoga students, advanced teachers as vacationers alike. Pavones, Costa Rica is a quiet remote town in the middle of the jungle so on to of it all be prepared to digital detox. Words really can't express the amount of love and appreciation I have for PYC and it's people.
