Ian Darrah is an internationally acclaimed teacher of yoga, fitness, wellness & shamanism. He is the founder of MediYogi® ‘Medicine Yogi’ and Inspired Senior Living® and also leads yoga teacher training certification courses & retreats.
Ian’s mission is to empower people regarding their true wellness, health of mind, body & spirit. Specifically, his objective is to help as many people as possible lead healthier, happier, spiritually realized lives.
As a former professional triathlete and corporate marketing person, Ian’s life took a drastic turn in his early 30’s when burnout, divorce, extreme financial stress and depression consumed him. At this time, out of an inspired mix of desperation and heart-felt curiosity, he went deep into the wilderness seeking a great Medicine-Man Shaman and received numerous permanent life-changing visions. From here, Ian’s life-journey into yoga, mindfulness & meditation, vision quests + other indigenous spiritual ways, and serious Amazonian plant-based shamanism changed his life forever. Ian now thrives by sharing what he has experienced through teaching, training, and helping others to positively transform their lives through enhanced health, true wellness and the discovery of inner peace.
Ian is passionate about health and true wellness. For him, the greatest blessings of his life have been through the combination of yoga + shamanic wellness/spiritual paths. Ian’s special gift is his ability to simply meet people where they are at and share from his wealth of experience, in a practical no-nonsense way. Ian works both privately with individuals and with groups offering yoga, fitness training, shamanic-yoga healing classes, ceremonies, yoga-shamanic retreats and teacher trainings in Peru and in Miami, Florida. His signature MediYogi® method is a unique synthesis of classic Hatha yoga, ayurveda self-care, and shamanic training & wisdom thus providing synergistic exponential benefits for participants.
Ian has taught, coached and trained 1000’s of people including at the following organizations: Whole Foods Market, Marriott Hotels, The Gables Club of Miami, GAP, EPIC Hotels, Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, Temple of the Way of Light Healing Center (Amazon Rainforest), Ayaruna Center (Sacred Valley of Peru), Ransom Everglades School, Gulliver Schools, CREC, Bilzin&Sunberg law firm, Open Yoga Peru (Lima, Peru), Green Monkey, Prana Yoga Studio, Dharma Yoga Studio, Upstairs Yoga, Just OM, Bodhi Yoga Studio, BodhiZenz Wellness Center…
Read what some of his students and clients have to say:
“I just wanted to take a moment to share with you how much the TTC has meant to me. I did not know what to expect when I signed up but it has blown away any expectations I had. While I did expect to expand my knowledge as to the theory, history and practice of yoga and yoga anatomy as it applies to personal practice and especially teaching, I was not expecting the profound experience that it has been. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Hi! Ian, Thanks a million for sharing, once again, such a beautiful teaching… Today, when you asked us to give thanks for something we felt grateful and to set out intention and offer our practice to someone or something, I gave thanks for the practice of yoga, and I offered both of my practices to you, who helps us by delivering the right messages, the right practices, the right positions, the right movements and breathing techniques all at the right time… We are all grateful to have you”

“I am beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to take teacher training with the phenomenal Ian Darrah. To say the least, the 10-week course changed my life. Simply stated, I discovered a peace within myself I was not sure even existed and found a deep connection to my own inner wisdom, to those around me, and, ultimately, to the Universal wisdom. Ian raised spiritual conversation in a way that allowed for all of our personal understanding. His gentle and accessible approach encouraged us throughout the process.”
