This in-depth training is much more than a yoga experience. It is the path of yoga weaved within deep transformational healing work, earth rituals, community, movement culture and the garden of silence.
It supports the shift towards embracing life with awareness, acceptance of oneself, the recognition of oneness and reverence for the earth.
One exclusive aspect of this training is that it is held in PachaMama. This 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified residential training will be supported by the unique expression of village life, and the inspiration of a vibrant spiritual community where people meet life in an authentic and sacred way.

The Trainers
Adya is a senior yoga teacher and co-leader of the PachaMama Yoga Teacher Training. Her graceful meditative style draws on a diverse range of influences and forms. She first trained as a teacher in the Vinyasa flow style with Ganga White at the White Lotus Foundation in California. She has also trained extensively in pre-natal yoga, and her most formative training took place at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Madras, India where she studied yoga therapy. While the flowing form of graceful Vinyasa is very present in her style, the soft restorative form of yin based yoga carries a meditative aspect with gentle opening and melting into the asana.
Adya helps others to unveil their unique expression and bridges the yoga philosophy into an embodied life experience. Through her own journey of moving into the shadow places and exploring the width of healing, Adya is passionate about supporting fellow travelers to embrace the depth of living and to rise into the fullness of being.
Velan is deeply influenced by the discipline of Master Zhen Hua Yang, a Shaolin monk trained and guided in the temples of China. This lineage holds the energy of over 400 years, through the people who served as guardians of the Chinese Emperor. Velan shares layers of this lineage as a 3 dimensional form fusing Tai Chi, Qi Gong and traditional Hatha yoga to awaken internal power, vitality and stillness in motion. This form reveals a dynamic synergy between internal power and deep integrative moments of stillness. Connecting to the body’s innate wisdom, its desire to move and heal is the foundation of his teaching.
Unifying various styles into a creative flow of movement, he has been influenced through the study of Vinyasa Flow, Sivananda Yoga, movement culture and Yoga therapy With Simon Borg Oliver. He studied Ayurvedic Medicine in Kerala India, functional movement training in Sydney Australia and has anchored a deeper understanding of the body through the study of various forms of healing work.
