Really nice spot to stay some days in Pokhara in between trekkings. Lovely yoga classes from Deepika 2 times a day. Oasis of peace with little garden in the center of Pokhara near the lakeside.

Teacher Training FAQs

For most people wanting to teach yoga, the 200-hour program is the right choice - it's the internationally recognized standard. Choose 100-hour if you have limited time (11 days) or want to test the teaching path before committing to full certification. The 300-hour is only for those who already have 200-hour certification and want advanced training.

Yes. We are a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200 and RYS 300). Upon completing our 200-hour program, you can register as RYT 200. Completing both 200 and 300-hour qualifies you for RYT 500 registration.

For 100 and 200-hour programs, we recommend at least 6 months of regular yoga practice. You don't need to be advanced, but should be familiar with basic poses. For the 300-hour program, you must have completed 200-hour certification and ideally have teaching experience.

Yes. The 100-hour program counts as the first half of our 200-hour certification. Complete 100-hour now, return within 18 months for the remaining 100 hours, and receive full 200-hour certification. Many students choose this path to spread training across multiple Nepal visits.

We run teacher trainings during Nepal's optimal seasons: October-November (post-monsoon, clearest Himalayan views) and March-April (spring, warm weather). Contact us for specific dates for each program level.

Our Ghachowk location offers what urban centers cannot: daily views of Annapurna and Machapuchare, clean mountain air for pranayama, and the peaceful environment traditional yoga requires. Our instructors trained in Indian ashrams bring authentic lineage to this powerful setting.

All programs are all-inclusive: accommodation (shared or private room), 3 organic vegetarian meals daily, complete training curriculum, materials, certification, weekly outdoor excursions, and campus facilities. 100-Hour: €645 (shared) / €735 (private). 200-Hour: €1,280 (shared) / €1,380 (private). 300-Hour: €1,455 (shared) / €1,550 (private). A 20% deposit secures your spot.
