Peak Beings commitment is to create a fun, safe place for individuals to improve their well-being while exploring yoga and other disciplines of conscious movement.  Peak Beings offers International Yoga Teacher Trainings and Yoga Retreats, as well as individual and group classes.  Peak Beings was started with a 6 Day intensive training in Costa Rica and has now developed into a place for more yoga teacher trainings, international retreats and workshops.  Our trainings and retreats continue to grow and venture to different parts of the globe through our teachers desire to learn and explore different cultures.

Every one of us is part of nature and we enjoy helping people to gain an awareness of their own true and fundamental nature as well as an awareness of the nature and others with which we share this planet.  This involves not only spending time with ourselves, but also experiencing other places and cultures to learn more about the outside world in order to further develop our inside world.

We love to see the openings and transformations that people experience through our trainings and retreats.  We hope to cross paths with you on your journey and adventure towards your transformations and in finding your true and fundamental nature.

Peak Beings donates a portion of all profits to help in supporting The Orphan's Hospice of San Jose in San Jose, Costa Rica.  We believe in helping the local communities that we visit on our retreats and teacher trainings and hope to provide these children with the basic necessities for a healthy life and education.  If you are interested in visiting the orphanage or in donating school supplies or clothing we can arrange this during your trip.

Yoga found Troy when he was at a crossroads in his life and career working as a project manager and engineer on bridge and highway projects throughout the U.S.  He decided to take a break from his career to travel, learn more about yoga and deepen his yoga practice.  This decision has led Troy to thousands of hours teaching and training in many amazing places around the world.  He is passionate about empowering students and helping them to find a yoga practice that is suitable for them.  Yogi Troy is grateful to all of the teachers and students he has encountered on his journey and looks forward to many more.  Yogi Troy’s Class Schedule

Erin

Erin is an accomplished elite runner turned yogi due to a running injury and now understands the importance of balance. She was drawn to yoga after reaching a big turning point in her physical and emotional life. “Yoga was my saving grace,” she began to practice as much as possible and soon fell in love, so much that she decided to teach! Erin received her 200-hour certification in 2009 in beautiful and healing Costa Rica!  She wanted to give to others what she had received from her yoga experience — curiosity of my own yoga experience, the art of receiving, healing, and most important, self-love!  Erin ultimately found balance through her yoga experience and also what has become her yoga and massage therapy specialty — prevention of injury and balancing the mind, body, and soul.  You can check out more about Erin at PersonalBestBodyWork

Anjana

Born a natural yogi coming out of the womb, legs crossed like a lotus flower, Anjana rediscovered yoga around age 10 practicing with her mom. After losing interest for a while, she found herself coming back to yoga around age 19.  It wouldn’t be long before she was traveling to Costa Rica, to obtain her Yoga Teaching Certification.  Anjana walked away from the training with a sense of true purpose & power, something that needed to be expressed & brought out into the world to share.

"To me, yoga is about being yourself in a world that's always trying to change and mold you. It's a journey of living in freedom, authenticity, power, peace and awareness. Through conscious movement and breath, we find stillness - our unwavering, untouchable center. We find our source, our home within ourselves." The combination of Anjana's passion for yoga, music & movement gives rise to her creative and dynamic style, emphasizing fluidity, grace and power.  Her journey to share is that of honoring and trusting the intelligence of one's own being and allowing that authenticity to be expressed freely.  As we experience, explore and evolve, we expand beyond old limits toward our highest potential.  Anjana is also a certified personal trainer.  You can check out her blog and website at BeYouTiFULLiving.
