30-Day Authentic Yoga Teacher Training on Morib Beach, Malaysia

The 30-day World Yoga Teacher Training (WYTT) at Morib Beach is an immersive program that goes far beyond asana practice. The curriculum covers 15 different yoga styles – from Hatha and Ashtanga to Kundalini and Tantra – as well as pranayama, meditation, yoga anatomy, teaching methodology, and classical philosophy. You'll study texts like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and you'll get plenty of hands-on teaching practice.

The instructors come from the World Yoga Association and India. Guruji Murugan Chillayah, a Malaysian grandmaster with over 30 years of experience, leads the program and brings his background in Siddha and Varma Kalai to the training. Dr. R. Thirumurthy teaches Hatha, Ashtanga, and Kundalini, using his background in alternative medicine. Ms. Swathi, the India National Yoga Champion 2023, specializes in Iyengar yoga. Mdm. Kaveri rounds out the team with her decades of teaching experience.

What sets this training apart is its commitment to tradition. Yoga is taught as a complete system of living, not just a workout. The daily schedule includes shatkarma (cleansing practices), mantra chanting, and yoga nidra, alongside the more standard asana and philosophy sessions. You'll also visit local temples and learn about Hindu traditions in the surrounding area.

The training is intensive, but you're well-supported. Accommodation is in private chalets, either garden-facing or sea-facing, with all modern comforts. All meals are vegetarian and based on a sattvic diet, and you'll have water, juice, and herbal tea available throughout the day. The group is limited to 20 people, so you'll get individual attention and feedback from the instructors.
