We offer holistic yoga, meditation, and healthy living classes and retreats to the public; community outreach programs; and 200-hr /300-hr teacher training programs in Colorado. We strive to share the gifts of yoga, meditation, and natural health with others while evolving consciously and living connected to nature. We offer comprehensive teachings of yoga, meditation, and healthy living in both immersion and module formats to fit your scheduling needs!

Our training center is located at Wilder-Nest Retreats in Loveland, Colorado. This 100+ acre private ranch provides our students the opportunity to expand their practice outside the studio, in a space that radiates warmth, growth, and healing energy from Mother Earth and the power of nature. All of our classes and trainings are also available online or in a hybrid format. 

We believe that Home is where your Om is. In each of our classes and courses, we devote special attention to creating comfortable and safe environments for students to release from the distractions of day-to-day life and dive into practice and study. The focus is on the practice of yoga as an instrument to reveal a greater sense of health awareness, harmony, and serenity. Particular emphasis is placed on a holistic approach, energetic awareness including chakra systems, meditation, dietetic health, Ayurveda, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Sanskrit, Seva work/community involvement, and sustainable natural living. Namaste!

    HYS is truly an amazing place to take steps towards a yoga education. The focus on the yoga sutras and lineage allows for a deep understanding of the history of asana.

    My overall experience at Holistic Yoga School was amazing. It was filled with so much healing, learning, growth, laughter and love. My teachers were extremely patient, articulate and encouraging. I’m so so grateful for the experience. I gained so much confidence and left the training feeling capable of achieving my goals as a yoga teacher.

    This program was amazing and life changing. There was much wisdom and thought that went into the planning/preparation and implementation. It was absolutely magical. All of the teachers were wise, skilled, and talented. I particularly liked the gentle, kind, and inclusive nature of the program, as well as the shamanic components. I loved the cacao ceremony, the activities that we did in nature and the sessions with Swamiji. My fellow students and some of the teachers became my friends - some of them I'm still in touch with to this day. The studio was beautiful, and the training was one of my most cherished experiences.
