AN INTIMATE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN SOUTH GOA
In the quiet corners of South Goa, there's a simple yoga shala surrounded by trees. Here at Yoga Mandir, mornings begin with the sound of birds and flow naturally into afternoons filled with rich discussions about alignment, anatomy, philosophy and the wisdom that comes from years of dedicated practice.
An Organic Approach to Learning
Our teacher training grows from this peaceful space. We keep our groups small because that's how real learning happens. When you can ask questions freely, when your teacher can see how you move, when there's time to understand not just what we're doing but why -- something profound begins to shift.
"Akshey's emphasis on body alignment and anatomical logic is both impressive and instructive," notes an Iyengar practitioner of ten years. "The classes were always challenging and enriching. I felt better and stronger every day."
Freedom to Create Your Own Experience
The format is deliberately flexible. Being non-residential means you choose where to stay, what to eat, and how to blend this intensive learning with your own rhythm of life. South Goa offers countless hidden gems -- quiet cafes, peaceful beaches, and serene spaces for reflection. This freedom often leads to a richer experience as you discover your own perfect spots for study and practice.
"I felt myself grow not only as a yoga practitioner but also as a person. I highly recommend yoga mandir for anyone looking to deepen their practice and embark on a journey of self-discovery," shares a Yoga Mandir graduate.
Deep Diving Into Practice and Teaching
While firmly grounded in Yoga Alliance curriculum requirements, our training adapts to each group's unique needs. You'll immerse yourself in:
Precise alignment principles and their anatomical foundations
Practical teaching skills for working with different body types
Intelligent sequencing that serves real students
Hands-on adjustment techniques
The art of observation and clear communication
Yoga philosophy
Personal Attention, Individual Growth
The schedule flows with natural rhythm rather than rigid timetables. We've found that true learning doesn't always follow a clock -- sometimes understanding comes in those unscripted moments between formal sessions. This flexibility allows us to dive deeper when something resonates, to explore questions fully, to ensure no student is left behind.
"Akshey pays attention to every practitioner's specific abilities and needs," reflects a previous student. "He knows how to make us push ourselves but also when to tell us to take it easy on our body."
Before joining our training, we invite you to experience our drop-in classes. This gives you a chance to feel if our teaching style and approach resonate with your practice, while allowing us to understand where you are in your journey.
"Akshey provided personalized attention, often going the extra mile to address doubts and offer insights for both personal and teaching practices," notes a graduate from Mexico. "The small class size allowed for genuine growth."
A Space for Authentic Growth
Beyond the techniques and alignments, what sets this training apart is its authenticity. You'll discover a space where questions are welcomed, where understanding grows organically, and where each person's journey is respected.
If you're ready to deepen your practice and develop real teaching skills in an environment that values both precision and authenticity, perhaps this is the training you've been looking for.
