Why Peru is the Perfect Location for a Yoga Teacher Training

When it comes to finding the perfect location to participate in a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, look no further than Peru's Sacred Valley. Full Circle Yoga School offers multiple opportunities for you to become a certified yoga instructor in Cusco, Peru. Here are some reasons why Peru is the perfect location for your yoga teacher training.

The Sacred Valley of Cusco

This magical location holds a potent spiritual vibration that lends itself very well to learning more about yoga history, philosophy, and practice. Nestled in the Peruvian Andes, this valley is home to the ancient Inca Empire. It is truly a sacred place; it is rich with ancient history, and the spirit of the land remains strong. Traveling to Peru is more than a vacation; it is a life-changing experience. In the shadows of the ancient city of Machu Picchu, you will uncover profound truths about yourself that you'll soon share with your own yoga students.

The indigenous people of Peru have diligently persevered throughout the ages. They have eloquently preserved their history even through cultural devastation and land acquisition. You will experience this high vibration (as well as the high altitude) the very moment you step off the plane. To this day, you can still experience the authenticity of these ancient people and land. It is an archaeological epicenter where each building, home, and temple pays homage to their ancient traditions. You can witness the true dedication to their Incan heritage in the care taken for their agriculture and indigenous people.

The people are deeply connected to their land and its culture. Just about every sector of this Peruvian culture shows appreciation to the history of its people and land: the food, the music, the vibrant colors of their clothing, their ceremonies, the surrounding mountain regions, and their historical monuments. We invite you to do the same when you visit this beautiful country.

Cusco rests at an elevation of 3,400 m (11,200 ft), which is quite high. We recommend that you move slowly and take your time while in this mountainous town. Energetic centers throughout the valley, called vortexes, amplify the spiritual nature of this land. You will undoubtedly feel transformed when you spend time in the Sacred Valley.

As you immerse yourself in the culture of Peru, it will deepen your personal yoga practice and help formulate the skills you need to teach yoga.

With the guidance of highly trained instructors, you will deepen your understanding of asana, breathwork, meditation, energetic healing with crystals and essential oils, and more.
