Nepal is a natural place to train as a yoga teacher, and the courses on this page reflect that. You can study in Kathmandu and the Kathmandu Valley, in Pokhara, or in the Himalayan foothills. One school sits beside Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range as a backdrop. Most programmes are 200-hour teacher trainings running between 21 and 24 days, and they go well beyond postures. You can expect asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology. Some add texts such as the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, while others bring in Ayurveda, kirtan, sound healing or daily jala neti. The styles taught include Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Kundalini, and one course pairs yoga with Ayurveda. If you want something shorter, there are 7-day, 50-hour Yin Yoga trainings that link long-held passive poses to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Himalayan meditation. If you have already completed a 200-hour training, you can go further with a 26-day, 300-hour course in Pokhara or a 29-day, 500-hour certification in the Kathmandu Valley. The 500-hour course is built for people who have done a 200-hour training or have a strong personal practice. Prices start at 400 USD for a 7-day Yin Yoga training and rise to 1725 EUR for the 29-day, 500-hour programme. Whether you want to deepen your own practice or start teaching others, you have a genuine choice of length, style and setting here.
