Instructor courses in Kathmandu give you the chance to train as a yoga teacher in Nepal, with programmes set in the city itself, in the Kathmandu Valley and in the Himalayan foothills. There are eight live listings on this page, and they cover every stage of a teaching path. If you want a focused introduction to one style, the 7-day, 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher trainings teach long-held passive poses that work on the fascia, ligaments and joints, and they link the practice to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Himalayan meditation. If you are ready for a full foundation, the 21- and 22-day programmes take you through a structured curriculum that typically includes asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra chanting, philosophy, anatomy and teaching practice, drawing on Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini and Vinyasa traditions. One of these is run by Himalayan Yoga Academy, founded in 2007 as the first yoga centre in Nepal established for spiritual and yoga tourism. If you have already completed a 200-hour training, or you have a strong personal practice, the 29-day Advanced 500-Hour training helps you go further and teach with real confidence. Several programmes are framed as wellness retreats, so your study sits alongside time to rest and reset. Prices start at 400 USD for the shorter Yin courses and rise to 1725 EUR for the advanced 500-hour programme. Whether you are adding a specialism or taking your first step towards teaching, you will find a course here that suits your experience and the time you have.
Prices on this page range from 400 USD for a 7-day, 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher training to 1725 EUR for the 29-day Advanced 500-Hour programme. The 21- and 22-day trainings sit in between, starting at 990 USD, 1206 EUR, 1207 USD and 1400 USD depending on the programme.
The 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher trainings last 7 days. The 200-hour-style trainings run for 21 or 22 days, and the Advanced 500-Hour programme lasts 29 days.
The longer programmes draw on Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini and Vinyasa traditions, with one 22-day course teaching the traditional Ashtanga sequence alongside classical Hatha. The 50-hour courses specialise in Yin Yoga, blended with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Himalayan meditation.
Most 200-hour programmes on this page go well beyond postures. A typical split is 75 hours of asana, 25 hours of meditation and 25 hours of pranayama, bandha and mudra, with the remaining hours given to mantra chanting, philosophy, anatomy and teaching practice.
The Advanced 500-Hour programme is built for you if you have already completed a 200-hour training or have a strong personal practice and want to go further. It includes more demanding poses, but its real focus is on helping you teach with confidence.
Schedules vary by programme. On one 200-hour training, your day starts at 7am with asana practice and runs through to lights-out at 8:30pm, with mornings focused on alignment and building a home practice you can sustain, and afternoons given to teacher training.
The programmes on this page are based in Kathmandu, the Kathmandu Valley and the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. Each listing describes its own setting, so you can choose between a city base and a quieter foothill location.
You will study the theory and practice of Yin: long-held passive poses that work on the deep connective tissues, fascia, ligaments and joints. You will also explore how the practice links to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and one course adds Himalayan meditation to the mix.
