Yoga Teacher Training 2025

"It's been one short month since I began my yoga journey and I can honestly say that It has already changed my life. All of the crazy, (sometimes 'out-there') health benefits you hear about how yoga changes you are all absolutely true! My husband and I moved to Cuenca, Ecuador about three months ago and I began looking for a form of exercise to replace running, (due to the negative impact running was having on my knees). My mother-in-law recommended me to try yoga. She has avidly practiced yoga for decades and says it's the best form of exercise for the mind, body, and soul. So I said, "why not? I'll give it a shot." Little did I know that I would find something far beyond exercise; an entirely new way of life through yoga. "

I felt the entire program was thoroughly thought out, and structured very well. My training was challenging, and experience I will never forget. When I reflect on my training it will only be with very fond memories. It was more than I expected. Thank You OM Yoga Center! 

The Alvarez family who runs Om Yoga Center in Cuenca have surrounded themselves with very knowledgeable people and support staff. I felt that my education went beyond the basic yoga teacher training with an Ayurvedic Practitioner, a Homeopathic Dr, a Nutritionist, a Meditation Guru, a Shaman, all along with an incredible Hatha Yoga Instructor, and a library of useful educational books available. The staff members take you in as family and assure that you have all the support you need on your yogic journey. I couldn't have asked for more, and am forever grateful for them.

Maria-Elena runs a beautiful yoga teacher training, bringing together incredible teachers to deliver yoga message. Loved the food, the Ayurveda component, our yoga lead, and just the overall experience. If you are looking for something commercial, crowded and manufactured, this will not be the right fit for you. This was such a beautiful experience for me, and the others in group, bringing together yoga with a south american flare. I highly recommend this program, and I am so happy I picked coming here. All the teachers just go above and beyond what a typical yoga teacher training offers.

"Estoy muy agradecida de haber hecho mi yoga teacher tranning de 200hrs con la Familia de Om Healing Center, se sintió el amor de principio a fin, desde unas maravillosas instalaciones, comida vegetariana y Vegana de altísima calidad, clases teóricas completas y un gran instructor que nos enseñó mucho. Recomiendo al 100% esta bella experiencia con ellos, además son todos hermosas personas, siempre atentos a cualquier detalle. Gracias, esta experiencia a transformado mi vida."

"Om Yoga Center offers a unique program, rooted in traditional yoga philosophy and explores the connections with the indigenous Ecuadorian culture. This well-rounded program goes beyond expectations!"

"Receiving my YTT with OM Healing Center was beyond my best expectations. I am now teaching yoga at a university in Riobamba and feeling great about it! thanks to the wonderful staff and program they have. I 100% recommend this course because it is tailored to you, to your future yoga students and doesn¨t just focus on the physical aspect of yoga. Which I absolutely LOVED."

"YTT Ecuador offers an authentic and special experience. All of the trainers and teachers were knowledgeable, helpful, caring, approachable and passionate about yoga. The owner went out of her way to make the experience one that one would never forget. She hired the best and organized fascinating extra activities to enhance our experience. Our main teacher trainer, Adri Kyser, was incredible and was dedicated to training us how to teach proper alignment and effective sequencing all while connecting our students to a spiritual practice. I was hoping to build confidence in my yoga practice, and not only did I achieve that, I ended up having a life-changing experience that opened my mind, body, and heart. I would definitely recommend this program to somebody who is open to growth. "
