300-Hour Advanced Holistic Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Goa

Niramaya Yoga School runs this 300-hour program for teachers ready to advance. The curriculum is built around practical anatomy, alignment, and hands-on adjustments, with a strong emphasis on classical Hatha yoga philosophy drawn from the Bhagavad Gita. Each day is structured like a traditional ashram: silence until 11:00 AM, meditation, a beach walk, a two-hour guided therapeutic Hatha-Ashtanga practice, then pranayama and mantra. Afternoons are split between adjustment and alignment workshops, philosophy/anatomy/Ayurveda lectures, and Yin or restorative yoga. You'll also have time for self-study and homework, and weekends include excursions to local mythological sites and Ayurvedic cooking classes.

The faculty is led by Ms. Dorothea, a German physiotherapist, certified yoga therapist, and Spiraldynamik® practitioner, alongside Subit, who heads the school's management and teaches philosophy, and Swapna, who specializes in alignment and teaches across all age groups. The teaching is grounded, practical, and attentive to individual needs. You'll practice giving and receiving adjustments daily, learn to sequence and plan classes, and get detailed feedback on your teaching throughout the month.

The property sits on the edge of green farmland, away from the tourist crowds but within a ten-minute walk to the beach. It's simple, clean, and surrounded by tropical plants and coconut palms—a peaceful, focused environment for study. The school also provides a pre-study online anatomy module and a reading list to complete before you arrive, so you hit the ground running. On completion, you'll have the hours and certificate needed to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-500.
