Ganesha Yoga Shala

YOGA ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATED

100 H Yoga Teacher Training
ONLINE

Practice in an open-air riverside dock shala — traditional Ashtanga and Hatha training set against the stillness of the Cambodian jungle.

10  DAYS · 🇰🇭 Beside the mekong river, in Cambodia → Blue Indigo Yoga Mindfulness wellness center

Welcome

A training for those drawn to history,
nature and river light.

Join our 100hr Yoga TTC (Yoga Alliance International certified),
at Blue Indigo Yoga Mindfulness wellness center, by the Mekong river in Phnom Penh, Cambodia 🇰🇭.

Our Cambodia training brings the same core curriculum to a setting in the shadow of mighty rivers, pagodas, and traditional temples.
Mornings often begin early enough to catch sunrise breaking over the temple spires; days unfold in an open-air shala right beside the Mekong.

It’s a slightly more compact, intensive format — Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha yoga taught by our lead teachers, with philosophy, anatomy, and hands-on adjustment woven through every day.

Certification is RYS 100 through Yoga Alliance International, recognised worldwide.

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.
