POV: the retreat morning you didn’t know you needed. Ocean air, slow sips of coffee, movement before words, and space to remember yourself again. @visitmizata holds a different kind of rhythm — one that invites you to soften, breathe deeper, and reconnect to what matters. This November, join us for Tierra y Tides — a week of creative vinyasa, yin + restorative practices, meditation, sound, ritual, and ocean-side living. Come as a teacher expanding your craft. Come as a student craving restoration. Come exactly as you are.

Petals opened. Hearts cracked wide. Souls expanded. 🌷✨ Winter–Spring 2026 came to BLOOM. Our Spring Bloom cohort has graduated from the Gratitude Village 200-Hour Teacher Training, and what a journey it has been—sweat, study, laughter, tears, devotion, and deep transformation. A season of rooting. A season of rising. A season of blooming. Now go teach, lead, love, and bloom wildly. 🌸 Gratitude to my amazing team @flowwj0 @stanleysounds @asana_ang @mercurysplatters @jas.uy @movewithpedro @july_vr @tatianaindharma #SpringBloom #GratitudeVillage #YogaTeacherTraining #NewYogaTeachers

What began as a vision, a prayer, and a deep devotion to community has now come full circle. Today we celebrate the first graduating class of AV STUDIOS’ Gratitude Village 200-Hour Teacher Training — our Winter–Spring 2026 cohort @avstudios_nyc . To witness each of you commit to the practice, move through challenge, deepen your voice, and rise into your teaching has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Yoga asks us to return to ourselves again and again — and each of you answered that call with courage, humility, and heart. I am profoundly proud of the teachers you are becoming and the spaces you will hold. The world needs your presence, your truth, your leadership, and your healing. Deep gratitude to our faculty, mentors, and every hand and heart that helped bring this vision into reality. Gratitude Village was never meant to be built alone — it was built in community, in trust, and in love. To our graduates: this is not the end, it is the beginning. May you teach with integrity, lead with compassion, and remember that your presence is the practice. Forever proud. Forever grateful. Welcome to the village. 🤍 #GratitudeVillage #YogaTeacherTraining #200HourYTT #YogaGraduation #AVStudios YogaCommunity

@avstudios Gratitude Village Teacher Training is in full flow ✨ We are so proud of our cohort—last week we stepped into Week 6! This group is rooted in embodied teaching, cultivating mindful teachers who are passionate about creating and reimagining the future of yoga spaces—both traditional and non-traditional. A deep shoutout to this incredible team: @flowwj0 @mercurysplatters @stanleysounds @jas.uy @choreobypedro @asana_ang @tatianaindharma @tatianaindharma @july_vr 🤍 In Week 6, we explored inversions, trauma-informed teaching, and hands-on assists—continuing to build skill, awareness, and intentional leadership. 🙌🏾

Week 4 — Back in the Lab 🔥 Gratitude Village 200-Hour Teacher Training by AV STUDIOS @avstudios_nyc Today we went deep. We explored: • Embodied Eight Limb Group Projects • The Art of Intelligent & Creative Sequencing • Precision Cueing + Language as Leadership • Pranayama as Nervous System Literacy This is where theory becomes lived practice. Where philosophy moves through the body. Where teachers begin to trust their voice. In Gratitude Village, we don’t just memorize the Eight Limbs — we embody them. We don’t just build sequences — we design experiences rooted in safety, agency, and transformation. Watching this cohort step into their power, refine their cues, and collaborate in embodied leadership is the real magic. The lab is alive. The village is rising. If you feel the call to train with my team and I, follow @avstudios_nyc for announcements on: 🌿 Our next 200-Hour RYT 🌊 The 100-Hour Immersion at Mizata Resort — The Gathering: Tierra & Tides Come build your voice. Come refine your craft. Come join the Village. With gratitude, Amanda 🤍
