15-Day Himalayan Meditation & Yoga Nidra Teacher Training in Dharamsala

The 100-hour curriculum is dense but practical. You'll spend mornings in asana practice and pranayama, then move into theory classes that break down the science and philosophy of meditation. Afternoons cover specific techniques—chakra balancing, mantra, loving-kindness, and the deeply restful practice of Yoga Nidra—along with practicum sessions where you teach and receive feedback from the group. The teaching team includes Dr. Keshava, a doctor and long-time meditator who leads the meditation modules, Eleanor Evrard, an osteopath and RYT-500 yoga teacher who covers anatomy, and Shubham, who brings a traditional Hatha background. The group is kept small, capped at eight participants, so you get plenty of personal attention and space to ask questions.

Days are long but there are real breaks: a two-hour lunch break, free time in the afternoon, and a full day off on Sunday. Many guests use the free time to hike up to the Bhagsu waterfall, visit the Dalai Lama's temple in McLeod Ganj, or just sit on the guesthouse terrace watching the clouds sit on the Dhauladhar range. The food is vegetarian, organic, and served three times a day in the school's own dining hall, with unlimited filtered water and tea available.

What makes this course different is its breadth. It isn't just about sitting still—it covers the physiology of stress, how to teach meditation to others, and how to build a daily personal practice that lasts after you leave. The location helps: at 1,800 meters, with clean mountain air and no traffic noise, the mind naturally settles. By the end, you leave with a YACEP certificate and, if you're already a 200 or 300-hour yoga teacher, the credentials to teach meditation to your own students.
