About this trip

Nourished by nature and connected by the community. Practice, explore, learn, grow, connect, and play on this Yoga Alliance recognized 300hr yoga teacher training. 


This advanced 300hr Yoga Teacher Training is carefully designed to help you dive deeper into your inner self to achieve your highest purpose. Let the beautiful nature of Costa Rica help guide you and be your biggest teacher through the discovery of worldly interconnectivity. Be as close to nature as you are to yourself. Between the proximity to the ocean, monkeys, toucans, butterflies, and the surrounding flora, immerse yourself into what you were always meant for.

Above and beyond a teacher training, this is a space to define your true beauty, your inner warrior, your powerful being and to manifest your ultimate personal strength of mind, body, and spirit. This is a journey of transformation towards true authenticity and a more full version of yourself.


Free yourself to fully immerse into the experience that entails not only the next step on your journey, but also build a deeper connection with tribe. Visit world-renown beaches, sanctuaries, and excursions to understand local customs and practices from outside your norm. We will be touching on sustainable daily rituals, healthy balancing cuisine, wildlife, and weaving philosophy into real-world practice. Change your life through a deeper understanding of yoga practices, along with alignment, sequencing, and the ability to teach from experience. Reestablish the divine essence through purity and simply breathing into the unique existence that you were called for. 

Develop a community surrounding insight, and powerful personal growth. When we work together as one, we truly thrive and let our lives flourish through our highest potential. Develop your already blooming skillsets as a yoga teacher and find peace within your 300hr yoga teacher training. Make the path more accessible to your further understanding of yoga and life practices while working towards becoming more whole, balancing your chakras, and learning to hold sacred space.

Be the example and the change you would like to see in our surrounding world, through bettering yourself in pursuit of growth. This advanced training is available to those of you who have successfully completed a 200hr foundational yoga teacher training and are looking to enrich the experience of practicing yoga students along with your own personal life. What are you waiting for, your destiny is calling upon you to take the next steps on your journey of transformation.


This 300hr Ytt program is an advanced study for yoga teachers that builds on the foundational material introduced in 200hr certification programs to help transform your inner landscape. This advanced credential will help set you apart and identify you as an experienced teacher. Expand your knowledge into advanced techniques in Asana, Dhyana (meditation), Pranayama, Ayurvedic principles and how to establish elemental flow into your practice. 


Using the five elements, the four directions, Chakras, and self study awareness practice to unlock your unique gifts and breakthrough limiting beliefs, remove the "masks" that cover your authenticity.  Join us for this unique sacred journey of self discovery and personal empowerment. Explore the intimate connection with the natural world and translate that connection into more mindful, intentional, and self aware living. Learn to read the signs, follow divine guidance and thrive both on and off the mat.

The inner critic far too often takes the steering wheel. Learn how to tap into the wisdom of your inner teacher. Imagine what it would feel like to have the time and space to replenish your spirit and liberate your soul with no responsibilities other than your own well-being. Explore the intimate connection with the natural world and how to flow with the 5 elements in divine guidance. Are you ready to transform and embody what it feels like to be healthy, vibrant, and aligned?

If you have been looking for a yoga teacher training that encourages personal growth and creates a safe sacred space in a stunning location with a loving community, we welcome you to apply. 

The foundation of this course is based on Hatha and Tantra philosophies and will explore the many other facets of the Yoga practice. Through meditation, conscious communication, awareness practices, earthing principles, and physical movement we will gracefully transform the energies. 


There is nothing more powerful than an immersive experience and the relationships you build are priceless. We understand how important ongoing support and community connection is even after the training is complete. This is one of the features that makes our training so unique.

This will be a radical experiment on the the journey back to the heart.   


Each day includes two yoga practices, in the morning to invigorate and in the evening to restore and two daily meditation or pranayama practices. Asana labs consist of breaking down the postures, advanced sequencing, proper alignment with potent cueing, advanced theory, incorporating themes, integrated anatomy, mindful movement practices, practice teaching in various environments, and adjusting.

Michelle and Stacy will lead a series of engaging workshops during the 300-hour yoga teacher training, designed to elevate both your practice and teaching skills. 


Michelle will guide you into the rich world of mythology, and learn how to weave these timeless stories into your class themes to inspire your students, while also feeling your own personal practice. 

She will prepare you for advanced vinyasa sequencing with Lila Flow, a unique approach developed by Clara Roberts-Oss, drawing inspiration from Shiva Rae’s Wave Theory. This method blends dynamic, intentional movement with a focus on building towards peak poses while weaving in a cohesive theme.


Stacy will help you unlock your ultimate potential through integrated alignment using practical anatomy understanding and biomechanics. You will learn how to gracefully flow into advanced postures including handstands and arm balances, and lead your students with mindful integration and an alignment based approach. You will learn to teach to all body types and experiences, how to adapt poses in any scenario and how to flow with an intuitive confidence. You will also receive a lot of opportunity to play with creative sequencing and practice teaching. 


Michelle will help you uncover the transformative power of Ayurveda for your yoga teaching! In this workshop, Michelle will guide you through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, teaching you how to tailor yoga flows, class themes, and even lifestyle recommendations to the doshas and the Ayurvedic rhythms of the day. You’ll learn practical techniques to design personalized, balanced classes that meet the unique needs of your students, deepening their practice and fostering holistic well-being.

She will also guide you through a variety of meditation techniques and slower practices, including yin and restorative yoga, as well as yoga nidra. These mindful practices not only help you reconnect with your most authentic self but also foster deep relaxation, allowing the mind to settle and absorb more effectively. With a calm, focused mind, you’ll be better equipped to integrate new knowledge and deepen your practice.


Stacy will guide you into depth of the Yoga Philosophy utilizing the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita and deeper dive into Patanjali's Yoga Sutras beyond the 8 limbs to help enrich your life both on and off the mat. 


Additionally, Michelle and Stacy will be be offering a pre& post natal yoga workshop where they will guide you through essential modifications and techniques to safely support pregnant students in your general yoga classes. While this workshop won’t certify you to teach prenatal-specific yoga, it will provide valuable knowledge on adapting poses, offering variations, and using props to create a nurturing and inclusive environment for expectant mothers and into postpartum. Perfect for yoga teachers looking to enhance their teaching toolkit with prenatal considerations.


In between will be plenty of time for reflection, conversation, quiet time, and journaling.

Stacy and Marc are the best hosts you could hope for. Kind, attentive, overwhelmingly generous, and made us feel so supported like we were family. The property is stunning, your own little jungle paradise filled with wildlife just minutes from the beach. Stacy's yoga teacher training is also second to none. Her wisdom, experience and dedication to her practice and her students is evident in every word and action she takes. You can tell how much energy and effort she has given to the course, which is incredibly informative, engaging and empowering. You will leave feeling more fulfilled than you could ever anticipate. You could not find a better experience if you tried.

It was a wonderful time. Great all natural homemade food. The side trips were fantastic! Saw so many different animals and experiences. I've been having balance issues and Stacy gave me great advice and practical ways to help ME! Other guests were very nice and friendly. I would recommend this retreat to anyone and I would like to return!!
By Linda S for 7 Day Deepen Your Practice Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica on May 27, 2024
The grounds of the retreat are lush with tropical flora, rooms very comfortable, food is creative and vegetarian, Stacey is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic yoga instructor, the area of Cahuita feels friendly and safe. Stacey and Marc provide a restful space to re-energize and unwind. This was my second trip and I would definitely recommend Casa Firefly to anyone that was interested in a week of wellness in an environment teaming with the local flora and fauna (sloths, toucans, exotic birds, agouti, dart frogs and more). I felt more fit, peaceful and overall healthier than before I arrived.

The hosts Stacy and Mark are incredible, warm people who really made a difference in my time there. They supported us and made the whole experience feel safe and comfortable. The place itself was amazing. Located right in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by wildlife, it was absolutely beautiful. I could even spot animals right from my yoga mat! The environment was perfect for focusing, relaxing, and growing. Stacy was incredibly professional and an outstanding yoga teacher. She helped me build confidence in both my personal practice and my ability to teach. Her deep knowledge of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and the practice itself allowed me to feel secure and supported as I learned. Stacy’s guidance was always clear, insightful, and inspiring, which made me feel truly comfortable and confident in my role as an upcoming teacher. This is an experience I will always remember, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a transformative yoga journey. I can’t say enough good things about it!
