yoga teacher training Course (TTC) - SOUTH GOA
We offer 100-hour and 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Courses for students who are serious about learning yoga as a discipline, through theory, practice, and personal inquiry.
Our program meets the Yoga Alliance certification standards, but we go further. We’ve refined the content to focus on what we believe matters most: clarity of purpose, contextual understanding, consistent self-inquiry, and respect for tradition.
curriculum overview
Our courses are immersive, structured, quietly rigorous.
The pace demands both physical and mental presence, but allows space to rest, reflect, and absorb.
We cover the full Yoga Alliance 200-hour framework, including:
Techniques, Training + Practice: asana, pranayama + Yoga Nidra
Anatomy + Physiology: anatomy and introductory physiology
Yoga Humanities: history and philosophy
Professional Essentials: art of teaching
Beyond these core components, we’ve made thoughtful additions based on years of teaching and study, to help students better understand yoga’s foundations and what it means to study and teach responsibly.
These include:
beginning the course with a strong foundation in yoga history and philosophy
focusing on a core set of asanas essential for self-practice and teaching
a mandatory reading list to support independent reflection
a three-part assessment system: theory, practice, and teaching
All students receive a detailed course manual developed in-house over many years of study, teaching, and practice. It’s not a surface-level guide, it’s a substantial resource that will continue to support you well after the training ends.

We recommend keeping your diet simple and supportive, as the course can be demanding, in a nourishing way.
Orientation
This course doesn’t begin with a ceremony. It begins with a conversation.
On the first day, we sit in a circle. Students write a short letter to themselves—something to revisit at the end. We also talk plainly about what to expect, what’s required, and what this training is, and isn’t.
It’s a quiet way to begin, but a meaningful one.
Last Day
We close the training as we began: sitting together, reading our letters, sharing what we’ve taken from the process, and handing out certificates.
COURSE DETAILS
The Goa season generally runs from November to March, with pleasant weather, quiet mornings, and lush surroundings —— ideal for focused study and daily practice.
Duration: 24 days
Fee: 200 hour TTC ₹50,000 INR | 100 hour TTC ₹27,000
Upcoming Courses: November 2025 to February 2026
WHAT TO BRING
You don’t need much —— just a few essentials to support your study and practice:
yoga mat
notebook and pens
required reading (list will be sent upon registration)
comfortable, clean clothing suitable for movement
WHO IS THIS FOR
This course is for people who want to study yoga with clarity, effort, and respect for the subject.
If you’re seeking certification:
We strongly recommend a regular practice of at least two years. We don’t evaluate this formally, but we trust you to assess your own readiness.
If you’re not seeking certification:
You’re still welcome :) Many students join simply to deepen their understanding. You’re not expected to teach, only to participate fully.
CERTIFICATION
Our 200-hour yoga training qualifies you for Yoga Alliance registration.
The 100-hour yoga training option offers a modular path; you’ll receive a certificate of completion, which can be paired with a second 100-hours TTC module later.
APPLYING
Apply early so you have time prepare and begin the reading list.
Whatsapp us or write to us directly. When you do, we’ll send you details and next steps :)
***
There are many yoga teacher trainings across India. We know choosing one can be overwhelming.
We’re a small team, and we work closely with every student who joins us. This course is our way of sharing what we’ve learned, what we continue to study, and what we believe matters most about yoga. If that resonates, we’d be glad to hear from you. Reach out with questions, or apply to reserve your spot.
