Transformative Yoga Teacher Training in the Heart of India

India is where yoga began, and training here offers an authenticity you can't find anywhere else. This 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is for dedicated students ready to go well beyond asana and prepare to teach, so what matters most is a genuine commitment to yoga and a willingness to practise twice daily. Over 28 days you'll study in Rishikesh, the 'Yoga Capital of the World', with its sacred Ganges River and mountain views, or in the tropical beach setting of Goa, living and breathing yoga alongside a close-knit group of like-minded people from around the world.

The curriculum goes far beyond the physical. As well as daily practice, you'll cover yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, and pranayama, with rotating classes in anatomy, philosophy, and technique as the course progresses. There are growing opportunities for practice teaching and feedback, and the training leads to Yoga Alliance certification upon completion. Course materials and manuals are supplied, so there's no need to bring study materials of your own.

A typical day is immersive and structured around practice. You'll wake at 06:00 for Hatha Yoga and alignment at 06:30, followed by pranayama and meditation, then breakfast and a yoga philosophy lecture before lunch and rest. Afternoons bring Ashtanga or Vinyasa practice and teaching methodology, with dinner at 18:30 and an evening satsang of chanting and meditation to close the day. You'll eat sattvic, vegetarian and vegan buffet meals designed to be light and nutritious: lunches and dinners of rice, dal, vegetables, chapatis, salad, and fruit, and breakfasts of porridge, eggs options, and fruit, with tea and coffee served at meal times.

The retreat centre is set in a lush jungle garden, with shared dormitory, triple sharing, and private rooms available. All rooms are simple but clean, with fresh linen and a relaxed, eco-conscious feel. There are common areas to relax in, a garden with hammocks, a library, and free WiFi in the public spaces. The yoga shala is the heart of the centre, open-sided with views of the greenery, so you can hear the birds while you practise. It's a short walk to Arambol beach and the village, where you'll find cafes, shops, and the famous drum circle at sunset.
