§ COURSE OVERVIEW

Twenty-one days to become a
yoga teacher — the traditional way.

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.

§ WHY OUR 200 HOUR YTT

Four reasons our
200 hour stands apart.

01

Philosophy first.

We give the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and the eight limbs the same weight as asana. Most 200hr trainings give philosophy a weekend. We give it 21 days.

PHILOSOPHY · LINEAGE
02

Sixteen students. Always.

Real mentorship requires a small cohort. Every student is seen, heard, and known by name. No back row, ever.

SMALL COHORT · MENTORSHIP
03

Ayurveda integrated daily.

An on-faculty Ayurveda doctor, doshic consultations, traditional therapies, and Ayurvedic meals — woven through, not bolted on.

AYURVEDA · KERALA
04

A decade of teaching.

Taught by RYT 500 practitioners with 10+ years of daily teaching. We've walked through the questions you're about to ask.

The philosophy alone was worth the entire 21 days. I finally understand the Sutras.
