Our 200-hour Teacher Training Course is open to every level — including complete beginners who simply want to learn more about yoga, deepen their own practice, or eventually teach. Some prior yoga experience helps, but it isn’t required.

Miscellaneous Questions
Accommodation style is confirmed per location and program — for example, private ensuite rooms, shared twin rooms, or riverfront styles. Room upgrades are typically available for an additional cost.
Programs are typically priced between $1000–$2,500 USD, depending on location, duration, and accommodation type. Contact us or check the specific program page for exact pricing.
Included: accommodation, veg meals, yoga/meditation sessions, and excursions as outlined per program.
Extra: flights, visa costs, travel insurance, personal spending, optional treatments (e.g., souvenirs, shopping, ayurvedic massage, spa add-ons).
You can book directly by contacting us. A deposit of 30% secures your spot, with the balance due 30 days before the program start date.
Deposits are always non-refundable.
Cancellations made 45 days before the start date, get full refund less the deposit (deposit is never refundable).
We recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers trip cancellation.
When you willl contact us to start your booking, we will send you our full program policy and cancellation document for you to read and agree with.
No, as of today we do not arrange installment plans for both TTCs and retreats — therefore we are open to do it in the future. Reach out to us to discuss it.
Requirements vary by nationality — please check your country’s specific requirements well in advance. Most nationalities need an e-Visa, arranged in advance, or an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization), or maybe a visa-on-arrival might be available for you. Please note that we are not responsible for applying for your visa, check it way ahead of time before traveling. Be aware that sometimes you might even need a transit visa, if you are not coming on a direct flight, please check it. We are always very happy to help if you need, do contact us if you have any questions.
1 one-way taxi is usually included, (from airport to the venue). It is usually scheduled for certain arrival windows – you’ll receive the details with your Travel Information in your pre-arrival welcome packet after you book.
Yes, we welcome numerous solo female travelers, and safety is our top concern. We offer only vetted accommodations, and our group activities and our staff on-ground support during your stay facilitate your safety.
A detailed packing list will be provided upon booking. However, generally speaking, you should bring comfortable clothing for yoga, a light jacket for evenings or chilly mornings, something dressy for the temple visits (long sleeves/covering shoulders and knees), a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, ear plugs, bug spray, and any personal medication.
Please let us know when booking. Many postures and activities are possible to adapt, we will make sure that the program is safe and possible for you.
These are usually available as an optional extra, for an additional fee.
Our team will help you find local medical treatment, which is another reason why we recommend travel insurance.
