Bocas del Toro, A surf & Yogi Delight

Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training takes place in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Bocas del Toro is an archipelago that lies between the border of Panama with Costa Rica. The province of Bocas del Toro extends from the mainland to the archipelago. It contains some of the largest rainforests in Central America and has nine main islands, 52 cays, and thousands of islets. Home to one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the first marine park in Panama, Bocas del Toro is considered one of the best ecotourism destinations in the country. Known as the 'Galapagos of the Caribbean,’ Bocas del Toro is one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet.

We are located on Isla Solarte in Bocas del Toro with perfect balance between development and raw, natural beauty. We are less than ten minutes from town but situation deep enough in the jungle for a fully immersive experience. During your training you can explore deserted beaches, snorkel coral reefs full of marine life, surf world class waves, and learn from an abundance of medicinal plants. We are the ideal training for those yogis who love water, the jungle, the elements, and exploring with grace all that is ever changing.

Yoga Teacher Training at The Bocas Yoga Institute

Our training merges the study of yoga and study of the self. Through connection to the jungle, our breath, our bodies, and each other, we will create depth of knowledge on the soul level. With a combined 40 years of experience in the practice of yoga, the principal teachers, will guide you to the gate of the vastness of yoga where you will embark on your own spiritual adventure; traversing different roads, exploring winding pathways, perhaps for the rest of your life. This training is dedicated to creating a safe space to cultivate your personal magic so that you might share it with the world.

Our location also makes us unique. We are located on a small Caribbean Island with no roads, boats for cars, a fully off grid experience. You will saturate yourself in nature all while enjoying creature comforts such as hot water, a screened in practice space, and good wifi.

We are the ideal training space for water people, with the availability to swim, snorkel, and paddle, just off our dock and out location only 5 minutes by boat from some of the best surf in the region. If you are called by the Caribbean Sea, we are the training for you! As surfers ourselves, we find joy, peace, and satisfaction from the lessons we learn in the waves and hope to share in this joy with our trainees; water lovers in all forms.
