    Find the Best Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Programs in Nicaragua

    Nicaragua is a tiny little country tucked inside of Central America. It is mostly unforgotten by tourists as many people dismiss the poor country as a dangerous place.

    While this country is definitely riddled with its problems, safety wise and other, it has a whole lot more to offer than just that. In fact, in many traveler circles, it is becoming the new Costa Rica (but without the high prices).

    So, if you’re going to majorly invest in a teacher training course, then you might as well do it in an amazing place.

    Become a Certified Yoga Instructor

    Nicaragua is mostly untouched by tourism so that much of the country is still beautifully vibing along. Even though this is true, there is a strong yoga vibe all throughout. Hippies, yogis, and surfers alike flock to Nicaragua in hopes of catching killer waves and uninterrupted nature. No matter where you stand in Nicaragua if you were to search for “yoga studios near me” you would like see at least one pop up on the map. (Okay, maybe it’ll be hours away but you get the idea) So, finding a yoga teacher training course in Nicaragua seems like an easy task.

    Or if you'd rather see YTT programs from all over the world, head over to our yoga teacher training page.

    200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

    You will find yoga studios all along the coastline, each offering their own yoga retreats and trainings. Among the most popular are 200-hour trainings.

    Yoga in San Juan del Sur

    San Juan del Sur is where all of the surfers and yogis come together to create a cool little beach town that is unique to SJDS. There you can find amazing fish burritos, plenty of yoga, quirky cafes with thousands of books along the wall, and way too many juices and smoothies. The vibes are chill and the sun is hot, making it the ultimate yoga holiday destination. Naturally, most wild spirit little yogis head to SJDS for their teacher courses.

    5 Reasons to Visit Nicaragua

    Let’s be clear about one thing: there are so many reasons to visit Nicaragua. But since this is not a travel page let’s keep the list to just five.

    1. Granada and Leon

    Granada and Leon are unlike anywhere else in the world. Granada carries the architecture brought by colonization but remains gritty and crowded as is true of Central America. The result is a beautiful city that basically bleeds the colors of the Nicaraguan flag. Leon is much less glamorous than Granada but has the entire heart of the country in one complicated city. The narrow streets jut out for miles and the broken down buildings dutifully line the sidewalks. The markets are overflowing with people and have a kind of awful smell, thanks to the heat baking all of the raw meats all day. Even so, the smell carries through the streets and brings about a sense of nostalgia for the powerful art scene, incredible people, and intense heat of Nicaragua’s most beloved city.

    2. Tropical Beaches

    When people think of Nicaragua they typically think of the rural desert. While that certainly exists it is not the only part of the land. Don’t forget that half of the country spills into the Caribbean Sea, most known for its bright blue waters and white sand. The other half of the country? Lined by the Pacific Ocean, which brings killer waves and incredible cliffs. Yeah, Nicaragua has it all.

    3. Lots of Volcanoes

    Depending on how you look at things, this could be either good or bad. For those looking for excitement and outdoor activities, this is definitely a good thing. The volcanoes are climbable and offer incredible views. You can find many volcanoes to hike, all over the country. In Leon, you can even go volcano boarding.

    4. Delicious Coffee

    The inner regions of the country provide the perfect climate for coffee to grow. There you will find lots of organically grown coffee from regions like Matagalpa, Jinotega, and Segovia. Don’t trust to find this delicious coffee at the local restaurants, though. Even though Nicaragua produces a beautifully fragrant coffee, the restaurants and kitchens usually serve instant coffee. Families do too as it is much cheaper.

    5. Super Cheap

    This country is dirt poor. The people are living on barely anything at all with hardly any resources to support them. So their prices remain some of the lowest in all of Latin America. You can see the poverty in virtually every aspect of their culture, from the standard dish they serve everywhere to the shoddy construction of their homes. You see it all the way right down to the price tag, too.

    It's Yoga Nica

    This beautiful retreat center offers daily yoga classes and regular teacher training courses throughout the year. But that's not really what makes them stand out. Instead, their primary focus is on preserving and restoring the nature where their school is housed. During their month-long courses, students are encouraged to plant trees and volunteer with the sea turtle nursery. Not only will their yoga certification lead them to teaching yoga classes of their own, but it will help preserve the environment in Nicaragua, too.
