28-Day Advanced Hatha & Tantra Yoga Teacher Training in Goa

The 300-hour Advanced Hatha and Tantra Yoga Teacher Training in Mandrem is built around a full daily schedule that runs from morning asana to evening practice. Mornings begin with meditative movement and pranayama, followed by breakfast and then philosophy or guided meditation. Later sessions cover alignment, anatomy, and teaching practicums, with the day wrapping up in an advanced asana class.

The syllabus is broad and rigorous. You'll study classical Hatha postures, Tantra philosophy, kundalini and chakra work, mantra chanting, and a range of pranayama techniques including Ujjayi, Kapalabhati, Bhastrika, and Anulom Vilom. Yoga philosophy draws on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, and anatomy is taught with an eye to practical, safe teaching. By the end, you'll have designed and taught your own classes, received real feedback, and completed a final assessment.

What sets this training apart is the teaching team. Master Nirakar, the founder, has walked the yogic path for over eighteen years and brings a calm, grounded presence to the philosophy and meditation sessions. Kanchan Ji teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, anatomy, and physiology with a playful, creative style. Sam R brings Iyengar alignment principles and a formal background in Yogic Science. Amit Chauhan is an ERYT-500 from Rishikesh, and Will Burton focuses on anatomy, biomechanics, and hand balancing. That mix means you're not just learning one approach—you're seeing how different teachers apply the same principles in their own way.

The setting matters. Mandrem Beach is clean, wide, and uncrowded, and the resort is surrounded by greenery. It's close enough to Goa's markets and temples for cultural excursions, but far enough from the tourist crowds to feel like a retreat. The training includes weekend excursions and group activities, so there's a strong sense of community without it feeling forced.
