200-Hour Yoga & Ayurveda Teacher Training in the Himalayas

Nestled beside Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range as a backdrop, Yoga Ayurveda School Nepal runs a 200-hour teacher training that goes beyond physical postures. Days start with mantra and pranayama before a full schedule of asana, mudra, meditation, and anatomy. Master Hemu Masant, who has over 12 years of practice, teaches from the traditional Himalayan lineage, weaving in philosophy, sound healing, and kriyas (cleansing practices).

You'll also get into Ayurveda basics—learning your dosha, how food affects your body, and simple daily routines that support health. The course includes workshops on everything from yoga therapy to teaching methodology, and you'll practice teaching with feedback from your peers. Evenings might involve kirtan (chanting), movie nights, or quiet walks by the lake.

The location is a big part of the experience. Pokhara is a peaceful lakeside town with clean air and a laid-back rhythm. You're surrounded by nature—hikes, forests, and the calm water. The school itself is simple but comfortable, with a garden, yoga deck, and a family-like atmosphere. Group size is capped at 10, which means you'll get personalized guidance and form close bonds with your fellow trainees.
