BODY POETIC 200 YTT
May 29 - July 26, 2026
3 Online Modules & 2 weeks in Costa Rica
2026 Location
Deep in one of the World’s Blue Zones, we gather in-person in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Known to the locals and untouched by tourists, Playa Coyote is a perfect place for deep transformation.
Our 10 acre retreat center checks all the boxes with moody jungle vibes, a private beach (oh yes!), swimming pools and a gorgeous yoga shala.
Stay in a clean and crisp beach cabana. Get fed local faire three times a day. We even have transportation to the retreat center covered for you.
About Us
We are different, and we know it. In fact, we pride ourselves on it. We fancy ourselves artists of yoga, painters of body movement, wordsmiths of thematics, and maestros of not just classes, but of experiences. Our muse? Life. Don't worry, we'll teach you how to use it. We take things serious, so you know you are receiving immaculate, modern, and masterful education. We like to have fun too. You may find yourself making connections of and for a lifetime. Lastly and quite frankly, we pour ourselves into our students. We are heartful. We are artful. Curious?

Program Created by Meg Shuba with well over a decade of experience. She presents her material alongside Brooke Faust and Olivia Brown.
Unique (and Trademark pending) methodology created in-house paired with teachings from our own mentors, lineages, and cultures.
200H Curriculum
For those who wish to study the depths of yoga. For those who wish to teach and also for those who do not. All are welcome. Not matter what, we promise this will be an experience of metamorphosis.
Your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is your base training...but this course, is anything but basic. We go well-beyond the requirements from Yoga Alliance. As people, we believe in evolving, so we do the same with our curriculum. This isn't our first rodeo. There are tried-and-true parts of this course that we have been nurturing for years. And other parts that are fresh and out-of-the-ordinary. Body Poetic is a living, breathing program. Our methodology was created by our Founder and is unique to other programs (but you knew that. That's why you're here, right?!). At the end of the course, you'll be equipped to teach a plethora of modalities in a way that's rare...because it's you. Come learn about yourself, those around you and the vast topic of YOGA.
“I breathe this work, and whether this journey is for deeper study of the Self or to share light to others, this is your place. I’ve poured my heart into this program, picking up the shiniest pearls of wisdom from my dearest teachers + techniques created from my spirit. This program is curated to be artistic + wild, Body Poetic is what I like to call her. This truly is Heart Work, so from my mine to yours, let us continue to pass along these teachings…..” ~meg
