What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy applies the ancient wisdom of yoga to support the whole person — body, mind, emotions, energy, and spirit. Through asana, pranayama, meditation, relaxation, mantra, Ayurveda, nutrition, Thai Massage, and mindful living, students learn how to create therapeutic practices that respond to each person’s individual needs. This approach can support people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, back pain, sciatica, shoulder tension, digestive issues, fatigue, and other common imbalances.

Chaitanya Nitai Das
(Perú)
Chaitanya is the International Director of the Bhakti Yoga School, with ashrams in Peru and Colombia, and over 35 years of dedicated experience in yoga and spiritual practice.
Originally from Peru, he began his path at a young age and has spent decades living, studying, and teaching in ashrams across South America, the United States, and India. His teaching is rooted in traditional yoga philosophy, daily practice, and lived experience.
He was among the first South Americans to be certified in Vedic astrology (Jyotish) in India, and integrates this knowledge into his work in a practical and accessible way.
Chaitanya has studied with respected teachers such as Pattabhi Jois and John Friend, while also being deeply shaped by traditional ashram life and his initiation into the Vedic lineage through his teacher, S. Atulananda Acharya.
Over the years, he has guided thousands of students and trained teachers from around the world. Many of his students continue to share yoga in their own communities, creating a strong and connected international network.
His approach is simple, grounded, and consistent—offering yoga as a path that can be lived and integrated into daily life, with discipline, devotion, and clarity.
A portion of all proceeds supports scholarships for marginalized and Indigenous communities to participate in yoga teacher training courses
