Our 200 hour Foundation Yoga Teacher Training Goa program is designed to lay a strong foundation for aspiring yoga instructors, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to guide others on their yoga journey.

What Sets Us Apart:

1. Holistic & Therapeutic Approach: Our curriculum integrates the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of yoga practice, fostering holistic well-being and personal growth. Our principal teacher Ms. Mishra comes from a therapeutic background with more than 20 years of experience. She understands the anatomy of every asana and the individual’s composition. So we follow a very healthy and safe teaching methodology.

2. Hatha Tradition: Grounded in the traditional teachings of Hatha Yoga, our program emphasizes alignment, breathwork, meditation, and the cultivation of inner awareness.

3. Experienced Faculty: Led by experienced and certified yoga instructors, our faculty brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to guide you through your training journey.

4. Small Class Sizes: With small class sizes, we prioritize individualized attention and support, ensuring a personalized learning experience for each student.

5. Understanding of East and West difference: We are a team of Indian and European teachers who have explored both sides of the globe from  yogic lenses. One can not copy and paste the same yoga to everyone. We follow a very individual way to every student while keeping the discipline of yoga intact.
