Our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Kerala is built for practitioners ready to study yoga not as fitness, but as a way of being. Across 21 immersive days in our Kerala shala, you'll move through the foundations of Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yin — and you'll spend just as much time on yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, and the lineage that holds the practice together.
Upon completion, you'll receive a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certification recognized in 60+ countries.
