welcome to the divine aura yoga school
Come for
Yoga,
Find Your
Self
Have you ever been on your yoga mat, in the middle of a pose, feeling things you weren’t expecting to feel and wondering … ‘what is going on right now’? Maybe you came to yoga thinking it would help stretch you out or be a source of stress release …
There’s one thing that seems to be in limited supply these days though … time for yourself.
Time that is dedicated to Y O U, outside of the responsibilities you hold in your work, your home, and your relationships. It’s like you know what’s good for you, but haven’t found the time to really make it happen. You’ve moved yourself down the priority list long enough, and now here you are … with an unsatisfied craving for quality time spent doing things that fill YOUR cup.
Prioritizing myself allows me to be of better service to others, and being of service to others is part of my life’s calling. Does that sound like you? ;)
Yoga and meditation were practices handed down to me in my upbringing. I started my formal practice in 2006 in search of ways to build strength and lessen anxiety, and took on my role as a teacher in 2015. Since then, I’ve earned my E-RYT500 designation, the highest accreditation available through the Yoga Alliance.
I took my first teacher training as an intensive retreat. One month, away from home, fully immersed in what I was learning. It was perfect at the time, but there’s no way I could do something like that now. With all of the responsibilities I hold and the phase of life I am in, it just wouldn’t be possible.
The Divine Aura Yoga School has been years in the making, and its curriculum and teaching methodology are the culmination of decades of practice, training, and a deep understanding that the typical 200-hour yoga training simply doesn’t fit in most people’s lives.
That’s why the Divine Yoga Aura School is structured the way it is … to make training more accessible for those who can’t just take a full month off from life. It makes what was once unimaginable, a real possibility.
“Yoga is how I find my way whenever life becomes too busy or overwhelming. It has evolved in ways that have brought me to a deeper understanding of how to move the body safely, focusing on mobility over flexibility, so this can be a practice I turn to for life.
People often ask me ‘how do you do it all?’ ‘All’ meaning all the things I love … Yoga, Reformer Pilates, Jiu Jitsu, Spin, teaching school full time all while co-owning a yoga and pilates studio AND maintaining strong relationships with my partner, my family, and my friends … my answer?
I find the time to do the things I love and make that time non-negotiable.
It hasn’t always been this way for me though. I’ve worked hard to get to where I am.”
Diana Amaya ERYT-500, YACEP, Faculty Director of the Divine Aura Yoga School
Put in the time, commit to the practice, and do the thing that feels right for you
Imagine having an ‘excuse’ to ‘go on retreat’ every other weekend. Imagine walking out the door, knowing everything will be taken care of while you’re taking care of yourself. Imagine always having access to the magic of Yoga because YOU are your own teacher. Imagine waking up and knowing what your body needs, and how to give it to yourself. Imagine being in a community where when you don’t want to be the teacher, there will always be space for you as a student. Imagine how much more confidence you’ll exude from the deep love and reverence you’ll have for yourself.
Imagine how your lived example of self-care will inspire those you love most, without you having to do anything more for anyone but Y O U …

I enjoy and always look forward to Atul’s class. In each class, he teaches us the Sanskrit Asana names. I love his traditional and authentic approach to teaching. He is passionate about yoga and it shows.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears - Lao Tzu
At this point you might be thinking, “that all sounds really nice … and expensive …”
We touched on how the typical 200-Hour Immersive training abroad just isn’t possible for so many … especially when you consider the price.
Flight > $1000+
Accommodation > $1000+
Training > $3000 +
... not to mention food, foreign exchange, spending money, and any other investments (financial and energetic) required to put life on ‘pause’ for a full month … all in, these trainings often cost upwards of $7,000
Whether you choose a payment plan, or to pay in full, your investment doesn’t need to be $7,000 …

Not sure if this training is right for you?
Sometimes talking to a real person who can answer your questions makes all the difference. Fill out your information here and our Faculty Director, Diana Amaya will give you a call.
This training is not really for you if:
You’re looking to use Yoga as a workout
All you’re interested in is the physical practice
You want to learn trick-style poses like handstands and arm balances
That being said … it’s perfect for you if:
You know Yoga is so much more than just the physical practice
You’ve ever been in a Yoga class and felt like you didn’t really belong there
Even if you don’t want to teach others Yoga.
This training is for you to more deeply discover the roots of Yoga while awakening the truth of who YOU are.
We’re not saying that you NEED a 200-Hour Yoga Training to discover the truth of who you are … but you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t craving time for yourself. You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t keenly aware that something like a 200-Hour Yoga Training could be the key to unlocking a fuller, freer, more embodied way to live your life. And if you don’t apply today … that craving will be unsatisfied.
This training isn’t the type of thing you’d regret doing … it’s the type of thing you’d look back on and think “I wonder how different life would have been if I had.”
Your future ‘you’ will thank you, we have no doubt about it. Apply today:
