21 Day Yoga Teacher Training & Wellness Escape in Kathmandu, Nepal

The core of this retreat is a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training, structured to give you a genuine understanding of yoga, not just a routine. The curriculum covers over 100 asanas with alignment, benefits, and contraindications; various meditation styles including Vipassana, So Ham, and chakra meditation; a full range of pranayama techniques; yoga philosophy grounded in texts like the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita; chanting; yoga detox practices; yoga anatomy; mudras and bandhas; and teaching methodology. The teaching staff brings different strengths – Tirtha is a Yoga Alliance certified Hatha and Ashtanga teacher with five years of experience, Ram Hari holds an MA in yoga and an international certification in Ashtanga/Vinyasa, and the founder Prakash has an M.Sc. in Yogic Science and Human Consciousness, having studied in ashrams, jungles, and caves in India and Nepal. His path informs a teaching style that blends science and spirituality. The retreat is based on the edge of Thamel, the city's tourism hub, below Nagarjun Jungle, so you can step out to explore the city easily, but the moment you're back inside, it feels calm and removed from the traffic and noise. The rooftop offers views of the Himalayas, which is a sweet reminder of where you are. The program is designed to take you from beginner to advanced level, so regardless of your starting point, you'll be challenged and supported. Since the school also runs Ayurveda and yoga retreats, there's a genuine wellness culture here – you'll likely meet people doing different programs, and you can even add on treatments during your time off if you want to experience the Ayurvedic side. This is a retreat for people who want to learn in depth and be part of a community, rather than just drop in for a few classes. The days are full but structured, leaving time for personal practice, rest, and exploring the city. You'll leave with a certificate, but also with practical tools and a deeper sense of what yoga means.
