Yoga Teacher Trainings
We host Yoga Teacher Trainings in beautiful locations in Mexico and Peru. Our Training is a holistic program; to understand Yoga you must first understand

Self... body, mind, and spirit. We use the four directions of the Native American Medicine Wheel as a guide and foundational structure for the course. Within each direction we will focus on different types of movement, diet, and meditation. We bring to life the ancient teachings of Yoga through accessible spiritual lessons, a solid foundation in Yogic philosophy, and a daily Yoga practice. Please choose the level of course you're looking for to begin the journey with us:

300 Hour Training
Our 300 hour advanced program embraces the paths of the Yogi and the Mystical Shaman, helping us to remember our souls’ gifts as teachers and reveal the wise yogis within us all. We will focus on the expansion of our own sacred consciousness. We integrate the teachings of Yoga with Native American Earth Medicine and Shamanic Practices.

Pura Vidya
"Pure Wisdom of Self"
Your spirit carries infinite wisdom. Release the ego to meet your true self and the
true nature of the universe will be revealed.
Caveat
This page is "Under Construction". In a nutshell, though, Pura Vidya explores the intersection of Yoga and Shamanism. The earliest Yogic scriptures, the Vedas, were truly the first Shamanic scriptures, describing invisible dimensions and the need to recruit spirit guides to traverse the higher realms. More to come on this topic as well as refining the Beliefs and Mission. But, for the moment, to make sure you have something to read, here it is... Much Love!
Beliefs
We believe that the secrets of the Universe are stored in every cell of existence. When the mind/body/spirit is clean and pure, these secrets are revealed. We believe that true health can only be achieved with a holistic approach, caring for the body, mind and spirit. We believe that the way to heal has been known since the beginning of time and that our elders are the wisdom keepers that pass on this knowledge. We believe that all beings everywhere have the fundamental right to health and happiness. We believe that living sustainably, in harmony with Mother Earth is a fundamental necessity for the health of ourselves and future generations. We believe in the interconnectedness of all things, that duality exists within a greater oneness. We believe in the power of Love to transcend all things, even our own material existence.
Mission
Our mission is to make the two ancient traditions of Yoga and Shamanism better understood and more accessible.
Our mission is to teach cleansing techniques in order to quiet the mind and deepen meditation. By quieting the mind we will live in harmony with our soul's purpose.

Coby Hadas
Email: cobyhadas@gmail.com

While traveling abroad during University, Coby met a Peruvian healer who liberated him from the material realm. “Now that you have entered the Spiritual world”, she told him, “you’ll never have to concern yourself with money or materials, they will manifest effortlessly. Your new path is a spiritual one wrought with its own challenges.” Coby took this belief to heart, starting a spiritual journey that took him several times around the world. He spent many years reconnecting with the Earth throughout Latin America. He sailed the Caribbean, learning just how deeply one can relax. He led groups of teenagers through five different continents. He spent much time in India where he lived 'Baba Life', renouncing material comforts and exploring the boundaries of meditation. But between each chapter of his story, he would always return to his Shamanic teacher in Peru for study and guidance. Coby’s deep rooted interest in Shamanism found its perfect complement when he married Yoga Guru, CJ Ananda. The fusion of his love for Shamanism and hers for Yoga blended perfectly, becoming Pura Vidya.
