I attended Lakshmi Rising’s 300 hr program in Italy during the summer of 2024. While the program was rigorous, I left with a deep understanding of asana, philosophy, and general teaching practices. The knowledge of the teachers is stellar and I enjoyed the community that was created during the immersive experience. I highly recommend Lakshmi Rising!

WHERE YOU’LL STAY
Your Home in Sona, Italy
Your training takes place on a historic estate in the hills of Sona, Italy, where vineyards, open land, and surrounding countryside create a welcoming and inspiring environment to practice, study, and connect.
Throughout your immersion, you’ll practice in dedicated sunlit yoga spaces, study in shared indoor areas, and gather for meals with gorgeous vistas. Between sessions, there is time to rest and explore—whether walking the grounds, visiting the nearby town, or simply taking time on your own.
Accommodations are simple, comfortable, and reflective of the character of the property. You may choose between a private or shared room, depending on your preference.
The environment offers both openness and ease, supporting connection, reflection, and a sense of ease as you deepen your practice.
“The setting in Italy was magical! A beautiful estate surrounded by nature, creating the perfect environment to go deep. The Ayurvedic food was absolutely fantastic, nourishing body and soul. The group energy that was created felt like a safe space–unique, powerful, and filled with love and support. I am deeply grateful to Liz and Lakshmi Rising for this gift.”
WHAT YOU’LL EAT
Plant-Based Nourishment
During your 21-day training in Italy, meals are an integral part of the experience supporting your energy, focus, and overall sense of wellbeing throughout the training.
Our Gaia Gourmet chefs prepare vibrant, plant-based cuisine using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, with subtle influence from the regional cuisine of northern Italy. Rooted in yogic and Ayurvedic principles and inspired by global flavors, each meal is thoughtfully crafted to balance nourishment and enjoyment.
You’ll receive three daily meals (excluding days off), with a rhythm that supports the flow of the day—beginning with breakfast, a more substantial midday meal, and a lighter evening dinner.
We do our best to accommodate dietary needs; however, we cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free or nut-free environment or the availability of substitutions in all cases.
“The Lakshmi Rising teacher training program was very well structured and the teachers were very supportive and passionate about teaching. I love the manual we received, it is extremely helpful. The “Gaia Gourmet” food was delicious and the whole staff did everything with so much love and passion. Thank you very much for the whole experience.”
WHY LAKSHMI RISING
A Different Kind of Yoga Teacher Training
Our 200-hour yoga teacher training in Italy is designed as an immersive, all-inclusive experience that integrates vinyasa yoga, classical philosophy, and modern science into a cohesive and embodied path of learning.
It is not a training focused solely on technique.
It is an opportunity to engage with yoga as a lived practice—one that supports awareness, responsibility, and meaningful personal growth.
Guided by nearly three decades of study and teaching, founder and program director Liz Lindh shapes each training with care, intention, and a deep respect for both tradition and the individual experience of each student.
The result is a learning environment that is supportive, grounded, and designed to meet you where you are.
Through somatic movement, self-inquiry, plant-based nourishment, and daily ritual, you’ll not only develop the skills to teach, you’ll also cultivate the clarity and confidence to live your practice in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
Whether you feel called to teach or simply to deepen your understanding, this training meets you where you are and supports where you are going.
“Liz is an incredible teacher who approaches bodies holistically–combining studies of meditation, anatomy, ayurveda, and yoga philosophy. Liz created a safe space where I experienced unconditional support. It was really beautiful to be a part of it! I recommend this training to everyone who wants to deepen their physical practice and who wants to learn more about yoga philosophy, anatomy, and themselves.”
