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.

200-Hour YTT FAQs

Upon successful completion, you receive a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate from our Yoga Alliance registered school (RYS 200). This allows you to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) and teach yoga internationally.
We evaluate based on: attendance (minimum 95%), practical teaching assessments, written examination on anatomy and philosophy, and demonstrated understanding of yoga principles. Most committed students pass. Those needing additional support receive it.
Yes. The 200-hour certification is the internationally recognized standard for teaching yoga. You'll be qualified to teach group classes at studios, gyms, and independently. Many graduates go on to 300-hour advanced training later.
Three key differences: 1) Our instructors trained extensively in India at traditional ashrams - not quick certifications. 2) Our Ghachowk location provides the peace and mountain views that enhance training. 3) We emphasize authentic yoga tradition, not watered-down tourist versions.
We provide a pre-course reading list including selected Yoga Sutras and anatomy basics. Establishing a regular practice before arrival helps - even 20-30 minutes daily. Don't worry about memorizing everything; we cover it all during training.
