Craig is registered with Yoga Alliance with over 45 years and 15,000 hours of yoga teaching and yoga teacher training. He has studied Sivananda, Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Yoga Flow styles. For five years, he has also studied Chinese yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. He has taught yoga teacher trainings in Baja, Mexico for the past 20 years.

After diving deep into various styles over many years, Nicolina has found two traditions that she holds particularly close to her heart: Traditional Tantric Hatha yoga and Kundalini yoga. The inner peace, spiritual experiences, and physical healing she has gained through these practices has led to a passion to share the teachings. Traditional Tantric Hatha yoga, rooted in the Krishnamacharya lineage, includes the practices of Asana, Pranayama, Bandha, Mudra, Visualization, Kriya, Mantra, the science of the Chakras, Ayurveda and Kundalini.
Christopher is the co-founder of Yandara and has over 20 years of meditation and yoga practice, his presence inspires those around him to enter their hearts and connect to their truest potential. Christopher has the gift to bring his students through fun and challenging flow sequences while cultivating the shared awareness that is yoga. His style is dynamic and intuitive, mixing creative movement with a powerful asana practice. Christopher’s passion for yoga philosophy and yoga psychology is a part of his daily life and weaves naturally into his teachings.
Mercy Ananda (M. A., E-RYT 500) is a highly trained yoga teacher trainer and mantra musician, as well as a certified sound healer. She performs on the many kirtan albums produced by the Mount Madonna Center, Hanuman Fellowship. She is a member of the Sacred Sound Choir with Karuna Ault and chants on their "Mahamrityunjaya Healing Mantra" album. Mercy also performs on many other kirtan albums including the "Shri Ram Jaya Ram" album by Shri Anandi Ma. Mercy has a daily yoga sadhana of asana, pranayama, mudra, meditation, and mantra.
Sarasvati brings an open mind and open heart to the mat. A lover of the ocean and the elements, she often ties her classes into the themes of nature. She loves exploring yoga as an expression of the joy and abundance all around her. Sarasvati has been studying and teaching with Yandara since 2009. She is an inspired devotional musician and has had the pleasure of studying mantra and kirtan with her mother, Mercy Ananda. Her receptive and joyful nature invites exploration on the mat and a playful outlook on life.
Anne teaches from a great depth of understanding and inquisitiveness of the human experience and endeavors to assist her students to recognize their own inner beauty and greatness using yoga and yoga philosophy as a modality to access the dimensions of the Self. Anne approaches every class as an opportunity to connect with her own heart center and to create unity with all beings. Her goal is to create a safe, judgement-free zone where people can explore themselves and take what they need from their yoga practice.

"A once in a lifetime experience!"
From start to finish, my trip felt like a dream! The scenery was beautiful, the site was kept so perfect and clean and well maintained, I LOVED my bell tent (only around 200$ for the upgrade from the standard tent and it was definitely worth it!!), the yoga classes (both physical and theory) were so amazing! Challenging, rewarding and powerful. Craig and all of the teachers at Yandara are truly inspiring. Having Anne as a tutor was definitely a highlight for me.

"Way beyond my expectations!"
This wasn’t just a YTT it was a holistic experience that went far beyond my expectations. The place is located in an absolutely stunning location on a pristine Baja Californian beach, simplistic but very beautiful and Zen-like in style. The teachers are extremely experienced. But experience is probably the smallest part of their magic. The biggest part is their hearts, their dedication and deeply truthful determination to bring out the very gift in every single trainee and let them shine in every way imaginable. The amount of love that floats around this wonderful place is the true miracle of this school. The many decades of knowledge become almost secondary due to this overflowing love with which trainees are taught, although most Yoga schools will not be able to compete as far as knowledge and experience are concerned. Oh and the food: it is to-die-for-delicious every single day. Freshly cooked, organic, sattvic, no white sugar, just pure delight, gluten-free & vegan if needed. All amenities were spotlessly clean at all times.
Accommodation was in individual tents either basic or glamping, all tents where equipped with real beds, drawers and electricity. Currently a series of little cabin houses are about to be finalised so there will be more accommodation options soon (assessing from the state of construction as of 12/2021).
All in all it is really hard to put this wonderful experience into words, but be prepared: a course at Yandara is life-changing!

I loved the accommodations, the food, my teachers , the studio spaces, and the overall location. I went there to learn how to become a yoga teacher, and I took home so much more than just that :)
It gave you nature at your doorstep, it provided simplicity yet everything you needed to feel taken care of and safe.

"Eine Reise zu einem anderen Planeten!"
Das Konplettpaket war perfekt. Jede einzelne Stunde passt ins Bild, ein roter Faden zieht sich durch das gesamte Programm, inkl Abendgestaltung/Essen/Freizeit. Mehr kann ich mich nicht wünschen!

"16 day 200 hour training Bai"
My experience at Yandara was absolutely amazing. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. They created such a supportive environment that I felt completely safe to express myself, ask questions, and try new things. We covered philosophy, alignment, practice teaching, meditation, kirtan, Satya and breath among a great deal of other things. I feel that the training is very complete and I’m grateful for my experience there.

"Waardevolle en inspirerende ervaring "
Ik heb de manier van lesgeven, die is gericht op ervaren en spiritualiteit, als enorm verrijkend ervaren. Kennis wordt overgebracht, maar vooral ook het gedachtegoed van yoga, de spiritualiteit ervan. De opleiding gaat verder dan het aanleren van poses hoe deze te instrueren en te assisteren. Het is vooral veel ervaren en ook veel doen. Je wordt ondergedompeld in de beleving en ik heb er enorm van geleerd en genoten.
