Dive Deep into Yoga Education: Where Ancient Tradition Meets Modern Standards
It is a home for sincere yoga seekers and a community committed to transformative education. The name “NEREYA” was inspired by the Nereids—benevolent sea nymphs from Greek mythology known to protect water people on long, difficult journeys. This image resonated deeply with me as both a lover of the ocean and as someone who understands the inner journey that yoga requires.
The Nereids symbolize protection, guidance, and grace, much like the support NEREYA Yoga School offers to those diving deep into their own self-exploration. Just as the ocean can be vast and mysterious, so can the inner journey of yoga.
Our education is rooted in serious, rigorous study. We do not settle for the bare minimum: we ensure that our students feel fully equipped and confident not only in what they learn but also in their ability to continue seeking, practicing, and overcoming difficulties along the way.Our mission is to create teachers and practitioners who are not only knowledgeable but also capable of embodying the principles of yoga with depth, integrity, and confidence.
Authentic, Committed, and Empowering Yoga Education
NEREYA Yoga School stands apart as a container for deep, sincere yoga practice. We offer an environment of rigorous yet loving support, where each student receives the attention and guidance they need to grow as both a teacher and practitioner. Our teachings are based on traditional yogic paths, the eternal teachings of Bhakti (devotion), Karma (selfless action), Jñana (study of Self Scriptures) Hatha Yoga (cultivation of force and effort) and Raja (the yoga of highest meditation). Our philosophy is based on Advaita Vedanta and non-dual Tantra, seeing the Divine in all manifested reality. Our teachers are deeply experienced, compassionate, and trained in lineage-based practices, ensuring a well-rounded education.
The 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training is a foundational course that dives deep into the ancient practices of yoga while preparing you to teach with confidence. This immersive program covers asana, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, and the philosophy of yoga. You will receive personalized mentorship and guidance from our experienced teachers as you embark on this life-changing journey.
