The 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course is a very dense experience. You are studying Yoga related matters for almost 12 hours each day, following by some light homework.

We recommend, that you focus on this schedule. Due to experience, we want to mention here: enrolling into other courses parallel to the Teacher Training Course, is not allowed.

Sundays are free for your amusement!

After the 200hrs Teacher Training Course, you will be certified as a Yoga Alliance registered Yoga teacher. That is a sign of credibility. Although, Yoga is a very vast field. The question, if you are able to teach is to answer by yourself.

For sure, you will gain knowledge that will prepare you for teaching beginners and intermediate students.

What if I am not able to attend all days of the Teacher Training course?

As our course duration isn’t that long, each day will be important as an aspect of better learning. A day gap can derive lots of lack of your knowledge. Therefore, full attendance in the course period is a must. Half-knowledge is dangerous, especially when it comes to Yoga.

Will the course carry on homework? If yes, how much?

The 100hrs Teacher Training Course follows the schedule of the 200hrs Teacher Training course for 12 days. Within these days, the curriculum is identical – except for the Anatomy class that is not included in the 100hrs Training. The 100hrs Training is rather an exercise to create more awareness to Yoga, whereas the 200hrs Teacher Training course will be awarded with a Teacher Training certificate that allows you to teach.

Which airport in India should I book my ticket to?

That depends from your point of departure. Generally speaking: if you attend a course in Dharamshala or Rishikesh, New Delhi would be a good point of arrival. If you visit us in Goa, the Goan airport is closest. See our location section for more information.

Yes, we can arrange pick-up from train station or airport. Just provide us all the information about your arrival.
