200-hr / 300-hr Yoga Teacher Training, Mentorship Programs & Retreats
Welcome to B.A.Y. Lifestyle Yoga School
Welcome to living a B.A.Y. Lifestyle… Incorporating yoga beyond the mat and into the way we live our and approach our entire lives!
After years of teaching over 7,000 hours of classes, and taking over 1,300 hours of training, I realized that many of these YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) programs failed to bring home the true essence and meaning of the practice of Yoga. In 2018, I was given an opportunity by the BAY Club organization in California to develop a program that would be comprehensive enough and unique to the BAY Club brand.
And so B.A.Y. (Beyond Asana Yoga) Lifestyle was born. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the program was not implemented by the BAY Clubs, and therefore became one of the staples of our lifestyle brand, joining our ELM coaching program to bring the philosophy and lifestyle of Yoga to people worldwide.
“Yoga is the lessening of the constant shifts and fluctuations of our thoughts and mind”
– Patanjali
If you are looking to expand your knowledge of yoga, incorporate a yoga lifestyle or desire to become a yoga teacher and share the practice with others then look no further! At B.A.Y. Lifestyle – Beyond Asana Yoga School, we offer a Yoga Alliance certified program and bring in experts from Puerto Rico, India, Bali, United States and Costa Rica as faculty for our 200 and 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training Programs. Our retreat style programs are offered from our home base in Cupey, Puerto Rico and also in international locations such as Bali, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Ireland.
Our 200 and 300 hour yoga certification offers a rich curriculum that allows students to deepen their personal practice, understand the lifestyle and philosophy of yoga at a deeper level, and develop the confidence and skills required to lead others in the practice of yoga.
Although our school is based out of Puerto Rico, you can join us internationally in one of our many retreat style YTT’s!
Our Expert Trainers
Johanna Godinez
Johanna Godinez is the founder of B.A.Y. Lifestyle. She stepped on the mat for the first time more than 15 years ago when she found herself at a crossroad in which Yoga illuminated the path. Her purpose now is to share the ancient knowledge and philosophy that has been around for thousands of years as a way to ignite in others self-exploration and enlightenment in this beautiful experience of life. As an E-RYT500 YACEP her passion is sharing not only the knowledge of Yoga, but the path to living Yoga beyond the mat.

His highest purpose is to create Space and Peace in his daily life and invite others to also keep choosing their Higher Self, Intuition and Connectedness with all that exists. Manjeet’s passion for Yoga has led him to becoming the face of a Modern Mystic Yogi – grounded in self practice and also embracing life and the joys it offers.
