  • Monthly Apprenticeship & Weekly Immersion

    * This program is also offered to those who are not Teachers. It includes all offerings besides teaching. Please contact for more info on availability.

    In this unique experience, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your teaching skills in a supportive, real-world setting and have the opportunity to fully delve into the lifestyle with daily practice, food, and application of principles, throughout your stay.

    As an apprentice, you will actively contribute to the community through teaching public donation-based classes (60/40 split, teacher/house), guiding meditations, leading breathwork sessions, and collaborating with other interns to organize specialized workshops. You will gain hands-on experience by teaching locals & world travelers.

    Throughout your journey, our senior teachers will be there to provide you with constructive feedback, guiding you as you refine your craft and develop confidence as a yoga instructor.

    Our apprenticeship includes a range of diverse workshops to help you expand your knowledge and skill set. Topics include: self-care for yoga teachers, philosophy, anatomy, class sequencing, and how to grow a yoga community locally and worldwide.

    Additionally, for those who are interested in broadening their teaching horizons, we offer an optional Spanish-language course for yoga teachers, allowing you to share the practice across Latin America and beyond. This opportunity to teach yoga in both English and Spanish allows you to create deeper connections with a wider audience.

    Time during the apprenticeship is split between teaching, learning, practicing, as well as living the yoga lifestyle. The schedule is Monday - Friday, while the weekends are reserved for optional excursions (cenotes, beach, Mayan ruins, temazcal and more) exploring Merida and the Yucatan or joining specialized workshops at Casa De AUM.

    You also have the option to opt out of teaching class and fully experience the practice and lifestyle during your time, while still attending the workshops.
