Ayurveda Immersion

Ancient wisdom for modern times

We are switching up the format for the Ayurveda Immersion in 2026 to make it more accessible for you to learn about Ritucharya — seasonal practices according to time-tested understanding — while making new friends and taking great strides for your good health.

Experience the wisdom Ayurveda has to offer for modern living with YCC's resident Ayurvedacharya Rimmi Singh. Throughout the year, Rimmi will offer four half-day retreats filled with food, practices, and information to help you align with the seasons. Ayurveda focuses on achieving long-lasting health and balance by considering your unique constitution, diet, lifestyle, and environment. Explore how aligning with nature's cycles, nourishing your body, and practicing Ayurvedic principles can improve physical health, emotional well-being, and spirituality.

Whether you're new to Ayurveda or seeking to deepen your knowledge, these seasonal retreats will provide valuable tools to incorporate Ayurvedic practices into your daily life. Develop personalized self-care practices that you can start using right away while gaining knowledge in dosha-balancing yoga, mindful nutrition, and holistic lifestyle adjustments. Join us and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and well-being.

Dates and times TBD. Come to one or attend them all.

So Much More Than I Thought

I expected to learn more about asana, pranayama and meditation, but it was so much more. This was a deep dive into learning about the self and how I want to show up in the world as a human and a yoga teacher. My fellow teachers-in-training became very close and supportive through this program. The instructors were so knowledgeable and found the perfect balance between serious and fun. I had a great time, even though it was a lot of inner work as well as studying and practice. I highly recommend this program not only for people wanting to teach yoga, but also for those who would like to deepen their personal practice.

The Best Possible

The RYT 200 program at the Yoga Center of Columbia is nothing that you would expect it to be, in the best possible way. My personal practice and teaching has become richer, deeper, and more respectful, both of myself and my students. Learning how the physical parts of yoga (asana, pranayama) work inside of the larger yogic tradition was enlightening. The teachers respect the students in a way that I have not experienced before. That respect was something I can carry on into my own teaching and daily life and I am eternally grateful to have learned it.

Transformative

This teacher training with Kelly and Lucy has been a transformative and rewarding experience. It was not just about any one thing about yoga like asana or teaching, it was about all of yoga! It is a well thought out course, and the monthly meetings really allowed me to process everything, let the teachings marinate before we went on to the next topic.
