Location

Cusco, Peru

Cusco, Peru is a historic Andean city and former capital of the Inca Empire, celebrated for its striking blend of Indigenous heritage and Spanish colonial architecture. Set high in the mountains, its cobblestone streets, lively plazas, and ancient stone walls create a unique atmosphere where centuries of history are visible at every turn. Cusco is also the main gateway to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, drawing travelers for its museums, markets, nearby ruins, and vibrant festivals. With its high-altitude setting, rich culture, and dramatic surrounding landscapes, Cusco feels both timeless and full of energy.

The Bhakti Yoga School is directed by Chaitanya Nitai Das, a yogi, Vedic astrologer and student of the Vedic Culture. Chaitanya has been a pioneer of the Eco Truly Ashram in Lima, Peru and Director of Yoga Inbound Studio in Miami and Cusco. He is also the founder of two eco-yoga Ashrams, one in Cusco and one in Cali, Colombia. During his twenty two years of experience in the yoga path, he has lived in ashrams and assisted spiritual teachers who have given him the vision to develop a branch of Yoga Inbound as a way to help and serve humankind. The yoga school was born from the desire to help, inspire, and educate those who have been called to this amazing and blissful career as a yoga teacher. The school is here for those who wish to shift their yoga practice to another level and cultivate the skills and qualities that a true yoga instructor should have in order to help others in a professional way.

All meals are prepared in the ashram kitchen by Madre Bhakti (Chaitanya’s mother) and a team of volunteers. Three vegetarian meals are served each day in alignment with Ayurvedic and sattvic principles. Breakfast is simple and nourishing, typically oatmeal and fresh fruit. Lunch is the main meal of the day — in keeping with Ayurvedic tradition — and is generous, balanced, and deeply satisfying. Dinner is lighter and easy to digest, often a wholesome soup. Light snacks such as fruit and popcorn are available between meals. All food is freshly prepared in the ashram kitchen using local, seasonal ingredients, many of which are grown on the property. Our meals are designed to support clarity, vitality, and balance throughout your training experience. As is typical of a Bhakti ashram, this is a meat-, alcohol-, and caffeine-free space.

Testimonials

One of my best decisions was choosing the Bhakti Yoga school. It wasn't just a yoga teacher training, it was a journey to myself. In these 3 weeks I went on a journey to the lowest lows and the highest heights of my self. I couldn't imagine better teachers than Shyam and Chaitanya. With their sensitive, respectful manner, there was room for every student to grow as a yoga teacher in just one month! One month full of yoga, love, philosophy, gratitude and wisdom. It was an honor for me that Shyam and Chaitanya shared their deep knowledge with us and accompanied me on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher. I would choose the same training again! Namaste.

Martina B., Austria

The yoga/Hare Krishna knowledge that Syam & Chaitanya share and the example they set for a balanced way of life is inspiring. Set in the stunning Sacred Valley, the location for self transformation is perfect. This course is immersive and there is a lot to learn in one month, yet the days are relaxed & well structured. I think of yoga differently now and have changed my daily habits because of this course. It also attracts such beautiful humans. I would 100% recommend if you want to deepen your understanding of yoga, or are feeling stuck in life and need a fresh perspective.

Ellis L., Great Britain

We had an amazing Thai massage course with Shyam, who is a fantastic instructor with a big heart :) I would recommend this course to anyone interested. Course material is clear with lots of opportunity to practice. Food was yummy too! The ashram is beautiful and the location is peaceful and inspiring. Many many thanks to Shyam and the whole team!

Claudia H, Great Britain

I was transformed by the incredible teachings of Shyam and Chaitanya. They not only teach you the core knowledge needed to become a yoga teacher, but also introduce you to a beautiful spiritual path. I loved the daily meditations, pranayama, yoga, theory classes, and overall calm atmosphere of the ashram. The friends I made there were so kind, accepting, and beautiful people. Being up in the mountains was also so peaceful, yet we could still easily go to the city to experience the culture of Cali. I also loved the excursion to Palomino on the beach where we continued learning from this environment. I can't wait for my next training with Yogendra.

Alexandra G, Italy

joined the Bhakti Yoga School for a deepening yoga teacher training after already completing another 200h YTT. Shyam and Chaitanya are both truly devoted teachers, each bringing their unique gifts to the training. The depth for me came through the precise alignment teaching of Iyengar yoga with Chaitanya, the insights into Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda with Shyam, and the immersion in Bhakti Yoga. Every day there were mantra chants, praise to Krishna, and ceremonies with readings and teachings from the Bhagavad Gita. I found this aspect interesting, although I also appreciated that participation was encouraged but not obligatory and I was free to have my own meditation time in the mountains outside during this Kirtan time.. This training offered me a beautiful balance of knowledge, practice, and spiritual inspiration. It truly enriched my yoga journey.
