21-Day Yoga Teacher Training & Wellness Immersion in Goa

The 200-hour teacher training at Shanti MIZU is accredited by Yoga Alliance and covers the full scope of what you'd expect: Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Philosophy, Ayurveda, Anatomy, Alignment, Teaching Methodology, and a Teaching Practicum. What makes this course different is the setting and the scale. It's run out of a retreat centre in Mandrem, a village in North Goa that's much quieter than the party towns further south. The group is capped at 15 people, so you're not a face in a crowd of fifty. Your teachers are Indian—Ayushi, Nandini, and Shrikant—each with specific strengths. Ayushi has a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certification and over 12 years of experience; she teaches the asana and pranayama. Nandini brings a fitness coaching background and manages the school. Shrikant handles the philosophy side, approaching it as a living inquiry rather than something to memorise. During the three weeks you'll follow a daily rhythm of morning meditation and asana, afternoon theory and teaching practice, and evening activities like kirtan or movie night. You'll stay at the centre itself, so your days flow from your room to the yoga shala to the dining table. You get a weekend day off to explore—head to the beach, browse the markets, or take a trip. The food is sattvic vegan, prepared with local ingredients. By the end of the 21 days, you'll have taught practice classes and received feedback, and you'll leave with your certificate and a grounded sense of how to teach.
