Retreat Highlights
- Here are 12 reasons why we are different….
- You'll learn the mechanics of poses and sequencing. Not just memorize a script that leaves you doubting yourself. You'll build classes from scratch with confidence.
- We don't pretend yoga is all love and light. We talk about the messy stuff. Cultural appropriation. Power dynamics. The fact that yoga has been whitewashed and commodified.
- You'll study multiple styles of yoga. This gives you a toolkit so you can teach anywhere, to anyone. You'll find YOUR voice within the yoga world.
- We teach you how to modify for REAL bodies.Not just the flexible 25-year-old Instagram model. We're talking about bodies with injuries, trauma, and limitations.
- You'll actually retain what you learn. We have homework, quizzes, a midterm, a final, and multiple teaching sessions. You'll get real feedback from experienced teachers who care about your growth.
- We make Sanskrit easy and fun. Silly games. No intimidation. Just joyful learning that honors the tradition.
- We don't skim philosophy. We embody it together. Understanding these teachings personally is what unlocks your ability to share them with others.
- We talk business. We also prepare you for the business side. How studios hire. How to position yourself. How to build an abundant path as a teacher.
- We teach you how to become a LEADER. Not just a yoga teacher. You'll learn how to host retreats, workshops, and maybe even your own teacher trainings one day.
- We stay connected. After the immersion ends, we host monthly online sangha sessions to keep you supported and inspired.
- We also make you do work BEFORE you arrive. Philosophy. Teaching practice. All online. Why? Because when you show up in Guatemala, we don't waste time. We go deep.
- Decades of experience. Your teachers have over a decade of experience. They've studied with masters. They've done the work. And they'll push you to do the same.
- Together, Bholanath and I, have guided more than 200 students through 200-hr and 300-hr trainings.
- You will live your life differently. This isn't just yoga teacher training. It's a decade of study and experience distilled into something that will change your life. Whether you wish to teach or simply deepen your own practice, you will leave transformed.
About this Retreat
Your Guides
Lila Day, E-RYT 500
Lila is an experienced yoga teacher whose journey began over a decade ago under the guidance of Adi Shakti in Costa Rica, studying both Vinyasa and traditional Hatha yoga. Her love of practice led her across the globe - from the jungles of Central America to the banks of the Ganges in India, where she completed her 500-hour certification at the Akhanda Yoga School in Rishikesh. Over the years, yoga has become as essential to her as breathing. Rooted in the teachings of movement, breath, and Vipassana meditation, her classes and trainings are an invitation to come home to yourself - where the inner world reflects the beauty of the outer one.
Lila is a yoga style nerd at heart, blending wisdom from multiple lineages into accessible, heart-opening practices. She has taught thousands of classes around the world and now leads Yoga Teacher Trainings and retreats that explore not just what happens on the mat, but how yoga can shape how we live, relate, and lead. For her, yoga is more than a practice - it’s a lifelong relationship with mystery, truth, and transformation.
When she is not on the mat you can find her strumming her ukulele or sipping cacao reading in a comfy chair.

Details of this retreat
Arising Divine is Nova Yoga’s multi-style teacher training that blends ancient wisdom, modern embodiment, and mysticism. Your lead teachers, Lila-ji and Bholanth-ji, have trained across a wide range of lineages - Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Power, Katonah, Iyengar, Yin, Restorative - and are rooted in the Adi Nath Shiv lineage of traditional hatha + classical kundalini.
We pull from all of these traditions and the traditions of Ayurveda + Bhakti to bring you the gold. Think: the most potent teachings, the clearest techniques, and a foundation that will support you for an entire lifetime of practice, teaching, and evolution.
Throughout the training, we’ll gently unlayer the world of yoga and translate ancient teachings into modern, real-life wisdom. You’ll learn how to actually live your practice - not just on the mat, but in the way you move through your day, your relationships, and your purpose.
By the end, you’ll hear your own inner voice louder than ever and feel empowered to lead - in the studio, in your community, and in your own life - from the truth of your heart’s desires.
Your teachers have over a decade of experience. They've studied with masters. They've done the work. And they'll push you to do the same.
