27-Day Advanced Ashtanga & Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Goa, India

The 300-hour YTTC at Agastya Yoga is an advanced course for certified instructors and experienced practitioners who want to refine their teaching and deepen their own practice. Over 27 days you'll work through the Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate series, study anatomy with a focus on alignment and injury prevention, and explore yogic texts including the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita.

What makes Agastya different is the balance between tradition and practical teaching skills. There are daily theory classes on philosophy, Ayurveda, and the chakra system, but you'll also spend significant time on the mechanics of teaching—how to sequence a class, give clear verbal cues, and offer safe hands-on adjustments. By the end of the course you'll have taught multiple full classes under supervision.

The lead instructor is Yogendra Ji, a master teacher with over 500 hours of training. He's been teaching long enough to know how to push students who need it and support those who are struggling. The teaching team is small, so you get individual feedback on your postures and your teaching style throughout the month.

The location is a big part of the experience. The school sits in the village of Keri, two minutes from the quiet, palm-fringed Querim Beach. Arambol Beach, with its drum circles and paragliding, is a short drive away when you want more energy. The property itself has a garden, an open-air yoga shala, and a restaurant serving fresh vegetarian meals.

This course is intense—most days run from 7am to 9pm with breaks built in for meals and rest. But it's designed to be sustainable, with time for Karma Yoga, self-study, and the occasional outing to explore Goa. You'll leave tired but with a clear sense of how to teach and a practice that's noticeably deeper than when you arrived.
