Yoga Classes, 200 and 300 hr Teacher Trainings, Mentorship & 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 10,000 hours of classes, and taking over 2,000 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 and became the staple of our lifestyle brand, joining our ELM coaching program to bring the philosophy and lifestyle of Yoga to individuals and aspiring teachers 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 certifications offer 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.
Individuals and companies are invited to sponsor a student or contribute to our scholarship fund, expanding access to yoga education and community impact.
Show Up. Breathe Deeply. Evolve Fully.
