Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Escape in the Himalayan Foothills of Pokhara

The 300-hour Advanced Yoga & Ayurveda Teacher Training at Mukti Yoga Retreat is designed for students who already hold a 200-hour certification and want to go deeper. The program blends traditional Himalayan teachings with practical teaching methods, so you understand yoga not just as physical postures but as a complete system. Days begin with meditation and pranayama, followed by dynamic asana classes. Mornings and afternoons are split between lectures on anatomy, philosophy, and Ayurveda, and the evenings are given over to restorative practices.

The Ayurveda component is a major part of this training. You'll learn about the three doshas and your own constitution, Ayurvedic nutrition, detox practices, and how to use diet and lifestyle for balance. You'll also study yoga therapy for common health conditions, so you can adapt your teaching to students with injuries or chronic issues.

The schedule includes dedicated time each day for teaching practice. You'll learn how to sequence classes, give hands-on adjustments, and communicate clearly, building the confidence to teach beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Towards the end of the course, you'll lead sessions and get constructive feedback from the teachers and your peers.

The setting is a key part of the experience. The retreat sits in a forested hillside above Lakeside Pokhara, away from the noise of the city but close enough to walk in for excursions. The mountain air and the views over the lake give you the space to focus on your practice and study, and the small group size means you get individual attention and hands-on adjustments in every session.
