200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in the Caribbean with Sky & Shakti Shambhala

At Shambhala, our 200-hour USA Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher Training invites you to teach from the heart — sharing presence, authenticity, and purpose while deepening your connection to the practice and to life itself.

IMMERSIVE 17-DAY FORMAT
New location opening 2026. A serene Caribbean location, this training is more than a certification — it’s a full immersion into yogic living, personal growth, and soulful community. Whether your dream is to teach yoga or to embark on a life-changing inner journey, this is your place to begin.

A Transformative Journey, in the Words of Our Students
Graduates often describe Shambhala’s 200-hour training as a transformative, heart-opening experience. They speak of Shakti as an inspiring and compassionate guide — a teacher whose wisdom, authenticity, and care create a sacred space for growth, healing, and deep connection. Intimate small group format with a maximum of 9 students per class.

Learn directly from Shakti in the stunning natural setting, vibrant community, and rich blend of yoga, philosophy, music, and meditation, awakening the heart in ways you never imagined. Students leave not only confident in their ability to teach but also renewed in spirit — more present, joyful, and deeply connected to themselves and the world around them.

🙏

“The teachers at Shambhala are truly exceptional — deeply experienced, thorough, and fully present in their guidance and support. This was the best training I’ve ever taken, and I plan to return every year for focused advanced modules. Everything was beyond expectation: the accommodations, the food, the warmth and kindness. The entire team embodies the yogic lifestyle, offering inspiration, insight, and a touch of magic. This experience was transformative on every level.”
