28-Day 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training on Agonda Beach, Goa

The training is structured as a 28-day programme on Agonda Beach, Goa. It is aimed squarely at certified 200-hour teachers, and the whole month is built toward the 500-hour certification that lets you register as an RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance. If you are not already a 200-hour graduate, this is not the course for you.

What separates it from a theory-heavy advanced training is the amount of time spent actually teaching. You will sharpen your verbal cues, practise hands-on adjustments, and assist and lead during asana sessions across the four weeks. Sequencing gets particular attention, especially the structural foundations of Vinyasa Flow classes — how a class is built, not just which poses go in it.

The academic side is broad rather than narrow. Expect in-depth work on Sanskrit and asana terminology, philosophy discussions, advanced pranayama and meditation techniques, and a close look at structural anatomy. These run alongside the asana work rather than as separate modules, so the terminology and anatomy come up in the room while you are practising and teaching.

The course is led by Dr. Keshava, who is based in India and also runs other trainings in the country, including a 15-day 100-hour meditation and yoga nidra teacher training and an 8-day yoga and meditation wellness retreat on a Goa beach. The wider facilitator team for a given intake is confirmed before your stay, so ask who will be guiding your dates if that matters to you.

Agonda Beach itself is the reason the month works. It is one of South Goa's quieter shorelines, far from the busier stretches, and the rhythm of the sea becomes part of the daily routine. Long days of study and practice sit more easily in that setting than they would in a town.
