200HR Yoga Teacher Training September 15th-October 1st 2025
immerse yourself in nature and Discover Your Inner Peace at Soul Root Collective
Find your unique voice, deepen your practice, and build your confidence through this powerful journey of growth and self discovery.

September 15th is arrival day and we will start with a family style dinner at the villa. Training begins September 16th and exams/graduation day is September 30th. If you are staying in the house checkout is October 1st at 11am. Read below for a more detailed daily schedule.
