If this sounds like perfect YTT vibes, Puerto Escondido is the place for you to dive into your academic yoga journey! Join Kanami in this idyllic beach town on Mexico’s Oaxacan Coast at her beautiful outdoor yoga shala.

Puerto Escondido, Mexico
Puerto Escondido is an idyllic beach town on Mexico’s Oaxacan Coast that has managed to remain under the radar of mainstream tourism in spite of its world-class surfing, long stretches of golden sand beaches, growing yoga community, and thriving culinary scene. There is something for everyone in Puerto regardless if you want to relax in a hammock with a book all day, or plan daily adventures. Your daily course schedule will leave plenty of time for exploring the area, and even the chance to try out the world-class surf breaks of Zicatela and La Punta….if you dare! Puerto Escondido is known as a surfing Mecca due to it’s infamous and absolutely giant wave on Zicatela beach, but there is an abundance of other great things to do in this area and smaller waves to surf.

PRACTICE TEACHING
The fastest way to becoming a great yoga teacher is practice, practice, and more practice.
