Yogi Aaron, author + yoga trainer, is the owner, operator, and lead yoga facilitator at Blue Osa. During his 30 years of study, Yogi Aaron has developed an intrinsic understanding of yogic philosophy, anatomy, and the subtle body. He has studied under yogic masters such as Alan Finger, Bryan Kest, Genny Kapuler, Rod Stryker, Swami Rama, and David Swenson, among others.

Creator of Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™ Yogi Aaron brings three decades worth of study, mentorship and experience into his teachings, with a strong emphasis on yoga therapy and alignment.

His passion is rooted in a desire for each person to tap into their limitless potential and develop the confidence to embody yoga, both on and off the mat.

Throughout his journey, Aaron has made several pilgrimages to the Himalayas where he sought a deeper understanding of the Vedic tradition and Tantric pathways. These experiences blessed him with the opportunity to mentor under several spiritual masters and inspired him to create a yogic community in the lush Costa Rican jungle. And so, Blue Osa was born!

The Online Self-Study Modules are a unique element of Blue Osa’s Yoga Teacher Training that sets it apart from other programs available today. It allows you to dive in and start learning before you even arrive on retreat!

Here’s what you need to know:

• How:  Upon receiving your $500 non-refundable payment (due *2 months before the start date of your YTT), you will receive an email with instructions on how to gain access.

• When: Two months before starting your YTT program, you gain access to the Self-Study Modules. As a YTT participant, you receive FREE access for 6 months. If you’d like to continue to receive access after the initial 6 months, it is only $9.99/month. This includes access to our entire resource library of yoga support material.

• Where: Online! Once you gain access, you can log in from any device to engage with the material wherever you have the internet.

• Why: During your YTT training at Blue Osa, you will be steeped in the practical and philosophical teachings of yoga and receive direct experiences of practicing and teaching. The Self-Study Modules allow you to not only prepare in advance of your training if you wish but also continue to learn, absorb, and embody the teachings after you leave. Previous students have found this resource extremely valuable in developing their teaching once back home.

Downloading Videos: We generally have great internet at Blue Osa, but streaming and downloading videos can take extra time, which can be frustrating. We highly recommend downloading all the videos in the Self-Study Modules before arriving to eliminate any delay in being able to watch them.

The ManualWe will NOT be providing you with a printed copy of this manual. Please print it before you come to Blue Osa if you desire a printed copy. (You may access the manual in the self-study section of the training.)

*Please note: Blue Osa reserves the right to request advance payment of your $500 non-refundable deposit if the YTT program you’ve enrolled in sells out.
