This package is for those seeking an Internationally Certified Yoga Teacher Training program conducted by an authentic Indian master.

For both beginners and more experienced students. For those who have a passion to become a teacher with a certificate to teach in their own country. Those who want to enjoy this learning by the beaches of Goa. All those who are looking to combine this with a delightful holiday break and being close to the sea

This teacher training program offers a comprehensive and practical training while aiming to deepen your understanding.

The basic sequencing and style of the asana practice will be that of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. However, respecting individual abilities and limitations there will be some variations to the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa routine. Ultimately, this course will help the students nurture their own individuality.

Each student will receive a training manual to be used throughout the course, and be given a workbook to document personal discoveries, studies and thoughts which should be handed in for assessment at the end of the course. All trainees who successfully complete the course to the required standard will receive their certificate at the end of the training at the closing ceremony.

There is no pre-requisite to attend this course although we ask that you come with a beginners mind so that the usual ideas, judgments, habits etc do not interrupt the learning process.

Through this 200hr intensive, internationally certified, rapid learning method, you will gain a deep understanding of the practice of yoga asanas, philosophy, anatomy, and meditation.

About the Teacher & Instructors:

Expert instructor and teacher Lalit has been practicing yoga for the last fifteen years and teaching nationally and internationally. He has trained students from all walks of life from all over the world with his self developed, easy to learn style. Lalit adopts an open and friendly approach to yoga teaching.

Lalit has studied Ashtanga and Hatha yoga from the age of seven at the traditional yoga school Gurukulam. He has studied and been initiated with well known Yoga Master Swami Veda Bharati, the disciple of Swami Rama of The Himalayas.

He is also an experienced Reiki Master offering Reiki sessions and courses. His teaching comes from the heart making it distinctive and unique.

Lalit teaches extensively throughout Europe and Asia bringing his unique traditional yoga style to enthusiasts globally. He runs regular Yoga workshops and retreats in various destinations such as Croatia, Germany, Sweden and Bali throughout the year.

The course instructors are quite progressive and come from various lineages of yoga and therefore a fusion of different styles (Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha Yoga, Iyenger, Dynamic Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga) may be apparent in the course. However, the main teachings are derived from Patanjali’s eightfold system of Ashtanga yoga which offers a comprehensive study, guide and exploration of the true self.

The accommodation is a cluster of ethnic bamboo huts with views over the serene Arabian Sea – a rustic peaceful haven nestled amongst palms trees and located directly on Mandrem beach, a preferred beach in Goa.

This northern part of Goa is still very secluded and is set in one of Goa’s most beautiful seaside locations.

The accommodation is in traditional huts or tree houses. All huts have attached toilets with showers while the tree houses have attached toilets only.

The multicuisine open-air restaurant specializes in delicious fresh food offered buffet–style or a comprehensive a la carte menu

"The teacher training was truly an incredible month of light, love, laughter, and growth. the experience was simultaneous challenging (in many ways- physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, etc.) and nuturing. We were blessed to have teachers with a wealth and diversity of
experience and study within the vast tradition of yoga, encouraging a full and dynamic practice"
Jean-Jaques Gabriel, U.S
