Step Into the Training

Yoga was never created for women’s bodies — so we’re rewriting the story.

Here’s the truth (and yes, it’s fact-checked):

Classical yoga asana was developed primarily for young male bodies preparing for long hours of seated meditation.

Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), in the way we practice it today, emerged in the early 20th century and was influenced in part by British military-style physical training — not ancient yogic tradition as most of us were taught.

And most popular sequencing today was never designed with female anatomy, hormonal cycles, pregnancy, postpartum, peri-menopause, menopause, chronic stress, or the lived reality of modern women in mind.

So if yoga has ever felt like it wasn’t built for your body —
you’re not imagining it.

And here’s the part that matters most:

Today, nearly 80% of yoga practitioners in the United States are women, according to data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Women are now the heart of modern yoga.
Women practice more.
Women teach more.
Women lead more.
Women heal more.

Yet the foundation of most trainings still reflects a system never built for us.

And that’s exactly why this training exists.

We deserve a yoga education that honors:

  • our bodies

  • our nervous systems

  • our cycles and seasons

  • our life stages

  • our emotional depth

  • and our leadership

Inner Alchemy: Root & Radiance is a conscious rewriting of that story.

This YTT is that training.

Trusted by 700+ women across 40+ retreats and half a dozen yoga teacher trainings since 2014.

"When I got home, and I was talking to my adult children, they said, "Mom, we can't figure out what's different, but you look happy." And that meant everything."
2x retreat guest (Sacred Rhythm and Rooted & Wild)

**This is the kind of shift we see again and again.**
When you give yourself this kind of space — to slow down, move your body, and reconnect with what matters — you don’t just come home refreshed… you come home transformed.

This international immersion sets the tone for the entire journey — where teacher identity roots into the body, confidence becomes embodied, and the cohort becomes a true community.

This is where:

  • The arc of the work is set

We gather one final time to integrate everything you’ve learned. You’ll refine your voice, practice teach in community, and mark your transition from student to teacher in a witnessed, ceremonial closing.

This isn’t a quiet ending.
It’s a shared threshold moment in sisterhood.

This structure creates depth without burnout.

You’re not cram-learning.
You’re not putting your life on hold.
You’re becoming a teacher through lived integration, not extraction.

Your 8-Night Immersion Retreat in Nicaragua

Where your training begins — not in your mind, but in your body.

Before the Zoom calls.
Before the modules.
Before Bend.
We begin together, in person, in one of the most soulful places on earth.

Your training opens with an 8-night immersion in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua — a place I’ve lived, traveled, taught, and healed in for over a decade. I’ve swum in volcanic craters, climbed volcanoes, sent baby turtles to the sea, worked with schools, traveled remote rivers by boat, and led multiple retreats here. Nicaragua has shaped who I am as a teacher — and now it becomes the land that holds your beginning.

This retreat is not a getaway.
It’s an initiation.
A nervous-system reset.
A remembering.

During these 8 transformational days, you will:

• Practice Radiant Vinyasa + Rooted Restorative daily
Build strength, fluidity, intuition, and reverence for your body.

• Begin practice teaching in supported, spacious ways
Small segments, cueing drills, partner work, sequencing explorations.

• Find your teacher voice
Learn to speak from your body, your breath, your presence — not performance.

• Step into early leadership
Safe, guided teaching opportunities that help you grow without pressure.

• Learn the foundations of women-centered anatomy across life stages
Pelvic floor, hormones, strength cycles, prenatal/postnatal considerations, peri/meno support.

• Develop your nervous system toolkit
Grounding, vagal toning, regulation strategies, and embodied leadership practices.

• Explore subtle body and energetics
Chakras, koshas, kleshas, prana vayus — taught clearly, respectfully, and without cliché.

• Study yoga philosophy in a lived, feminine, embodied way
Sutra wisdom, dharma, self-study, ethics — woven into daily practice, not lectures alone.

• Form the deep sisterhood that carries you through the next 7 months
This is where trust is built, where stories are shared, and where transformation begins.

• Set intentions, boundaries, and your Sankalpa for the entire training
Rooting yourself in truth, clarity, and devotion.

• Experience ritual, ceremony, nature, and deep rest
Because teaching yoga begins with feeling your own aliveness return.

And of course — sunsets, ocean swims, delicious meals, spacious afternoons, barefoot living, joy, and moments of magic that can only happen in Nicaragua.

This immersion is about:
Foundation. Embodiment. Voice. Connection. Leadership. Initiation.

Here, your teacher voice takes root.
Here, your confidence rises.
Here, your leadership expands.

This is where your training truly begins.

Meet Your Teachers

Autumn Adams

In 2014, Autumn launched Ambuja Yoga, driven by a dream—to weave her love for yoga, travel, and adventure into a tapestry of intention, courage, and grace for her students. Over the past decade, Autumn has orchestrated over 40 transformative retreats empowering women to prioritize themselves and embrace a life brimming with self-love and fulfillment. Each retreat is a magical journey, where attendees depart with a newfound sense of self, purpose, and the ability to imbue their intentions into every facet of their lives.

Autumn’s classes are a delightful blend of her extensive education in dance, Hatha, and Vinyasa Yoga. She crafts dynamic, flowing sessions that gently nudge students to break old habits and explore new boundaries. Her teaching style is light, approachable, and often sprinkled with engaging stories from Hindu mythology or her own life adventures, making each class a unique experience.

What Autumn loves most about yoga is its transformative power—the way it shifts our mindset from “I can’t” to “How can I?” She inspires her students to become conscious creators, urging them to take risks, listen deeply to their bodies, intuition and hearts, and embrace life’s winding path with grace and humor.

Her retreats have been featured in publications like Insider.com, Shape.com, Zappos.com, Asia Spa, Direct Holiday, and Bend Nest.

Outside of yoga, you can find her chasing down her free spirited little boy, hiking in the mountains, or swimming in the sea.

Are you ready to transform your life? NOW is the time to embark on an adventure of self-discovery and empowerment!

Toni Larson, E-RYT 500

Toni embarked on her yoga journey in 2010, earning her first certification. By 2017, she completed advanced training in Shamanic Therapeutic Yoga. Her classes are a unique blend of alignment, the energy body, and the elements.

Toni is more than a yoga teacher. She’s a Spiritual Mentor, Reiki Practitioner, and Retreat Leader. When she’s not guiding others, this Oregonian loves riding her mountain bike, hiking, gardening, whipping up delicious food, or reading a book under the trees.

Her heart’s calling is to show you how courageous, strong, and beautiful you truly are. Anything is possible when you soften and embrace your authentic self. Toni proudly calls herself an Earth Keeper, Spiritual Mentor, and Yoga Teacher.

She’ll encourage you to follow your heart and feel your way through this journey. There are no mistakes here—just a call to learn, heal, grow, and live fully alive.

Why Nicaragua

Nicaragua isn’t just a destination on a map for me — it’s a place that shaped who I am as a teacher, a woman, and a leader.

I first traveled here in college, long before I was leading retreats or building a global community of women. I’ve returned again and again over the years — not just as a visitor, but as someone in relationship with the land and the people. I’ve now hosted five retreats here, and every time I come back, the country opens me a little wider.

I’ve traveled through remote riverways by boat, flown to Little Corn Island in the east, and trekked the jungles in the mountainous north. I’ve climbed volcanoes, swum in volcanic craters, sat in cultural exchanges at village schools, made seed jewelry with local women, and helped release baby sea turtles into the ocean at dusk. And through it all, I’ve been received with extraordinary warmth, generosity, and welcome.

And then there’s San Juan del Sur — a place I’ve fallen deeply in love with. It holds a rare balance of wild beauty and grounded community. Ocean, jungle, dirt roads, yoga decks, and sunsets that rearrange your internal compass.

Nicaragua is not polished.
It’s not curated.
It’s not trying to impress you.
It’s not trying to be anything other than what it is. 

It’s elemental. Honest. Powerful. And profoundly humbling.

This is why it’s the perfect place to begin a teacher training rooted in Inner Alchemy, nervous-system mastery, self-trust, and leadership. This land doesn’t invite you to escape your life — it invites you to enter it more fully. To listen. To steady yourself. To meet what’s real. To remember who you are when there’s nothing to prove.

We’re not choosing Nicaragua for luxury.
We’re choosing it for initiation.
