100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Cambodia

Build your Foundation - A Deep, focused Introduction to Traditional Yoga

10 DAYS · 🇰🇭 BESIDE THE MEKONG RIVER → Blue Indigo Yoga Mindfulness

YOGA ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL

A Training for Those
Ready to Go Deeper

India has called seekers home for thousands of years. There is a quiet magic in its mountains, rivers, temples, and sunrises.

Step onto the mat and into a tradition thousands of years old. Our 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is an immersive, residential program designed for those who want a genuine, transformative experience of yogic life — without committing to a full month away from home.

Over 10 days, you’ll build a strong foundation in asana, pranayama, meditation, and  philosophy, guided by experienced teachers in a setting built for reflection and growth. By the end of the program, you’ll leave with a stronger practice, a clearer understanding of yogic principles, and — for many — the confidence to continue toward a full 200-hour certification.

This course is part of our full Yoga Teacher Training curriculum. If you complete the 100 hours now, you always have the option to return and complete the remaining hours toward your full 200-hour certification later.

Why Train With Us

Small, Personalized Groups

We intentionally keep our class sizes small so every student receives individual attention and feedback — not just from lead teachers, but throughout every session.

Experienced, Dedicated Faculty

Each subject — asana, philosophy, anatomy, meditation — is taught by a teacher who specializes in that area, giving you focused, expert instruction rather than a single generalist covering everything

A Genuine Residential Experience

This isn't a drop-in class package. You'll live, eat, practice, and study alongside fellow students in an environmentbuilt specifically for immersive learning.

A Real Stepping Stone

If you decide later that you want to pursue full teacher certification, your 100 hours count toward your 200-hour training — you won't be starting from scratch.

My partner and I were most fortunate and privileged to have Prashant and Estella as our yoga teachers on a yoga retreat at Welikande Estate in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed every class they taught, they were both highly experienced and knowledgeable as well as helpful in assisting us with our practice and postures. We particularly enjoyed a yoga immersion day where we learnt yoga philosophy and how to correctly practice Asanas. I highly recommend both Prashant and Estella as Yoga teachers, their classes were an absolute highlight of our Yoga retreat and trip to Sri Lanka.

Sie waren die Yogalehrer im Welikande-Yogacenter in Sri Lanka, wo wir eine wunderschöne Woche verbrachten. Beide sind sehr professionelle und versierte Yogalehrer, die auch die Astangha-Philosophie leben. Es war sehr spannend und ich konnte einiges profitieren und lernte viel über Astangha-Yoga. Danke Euch beiden für die schöne Woche, wir haben die Zeit mit Euch sehr genossen.

I was incredibly fortunate to practice with both Prashant and Estella who were the resident yoga instructors whilst I was staying at Welikande Yoga Retreats near Kandy in Sri Lanka. Both Prashant & Estella have a nurturing, encouraging and instinctive teaching style. Their calm voices and clear direction meant you were never unsure of the journey they take you on in either the more dynamic morning practice or the restorative yin evening practice. I always felt very well looked after in each practice and this was enhanced by hands on adjustments and checking in with me when adjustments weee being offered. A true delight to be guided by them!

I had the pleasure of joining yoga classes with Prashant & Estella for two weeks during a homestay in Vietnam, sometimes even twice a day! After just a few sessions, I noticed a big difference in my stiff knee and hip, and now I’ve actually made yoga a daily habit. They’re such a great duo with there knowledgeable and patient! A huge thanks to both of you for your guidance and inspiration✨

I did my 200 hours yoga teacher training with Estelle and Prashant in Cambodia. They are great teachers, very knowledgable yet humble and very encouraging and understanding. They see your potential and push you to go one step further without overstepping your limits. Whether you are getting certified through them or doing your daily practice you are in good hands 🙏🏼

We verbleven van 31 juli t/m 4 augustus in Phong Nha bij het fantastische Nguyen Shack Retreat en konden elke dag de yoga lessen van Prashant en Estella volgen. De lessen waren heel persoonlijk, professioneel en afwisselend. Prashant en Estella waren daarnaast oprecht geïnteresseerd in onze eigen ervaringen en belevenissen….En het uitzicht natuurlijk geweldig! Een ervaring om nooit meer te vergeten!

When i was staying at Nguyen Shack in Vietnam 🇻🇳, i enjoyed 3 classes with Prashant! In the beautiful scenery of the lake and the Mountains we practiced breathwork and asanas. I was amazed that I could do wheelpose with his assistance in the first class as i had never done it before. Prashant’s teaching made me push my physical boundaries in a really safe and gentle way. I hope i get to practice with you again in the future. You are a great teacher!

I participated in several yoga classes with both Estella and Prashant during my time in Phong Nha, Vietnam. They were both professional and intimate teaches who provided dynamic and enjoyable sessions. I would recommend them whole heartedly.
