Online yoga teacher training

The Online Yoga Teacher Training at Himalaya Yoga Valley was an incredibly enriching experience that has influenced many aspects of my life. The program is very well structured, with unlimited access to materials that you can return to again and again. The teachers share their knowledge in a very clear, engaging, and inspiring way.
The course introduces many different aspects of yoga, including philosophy, pranayama, mantra, mudras, anatomy, Ayurveda, and of course asana practice. It teaches not only how to develop your own personal practice, but also how to guide others, which is extremely valuable.
The live online classes are truly invaluable. There is a wide variety of sessions available, led by wonderful teachers who offer classes of different themes and intensity levels. Even though I have completed the course, I will definitely continue to attend the classes and stay connected with the school.
I feel deeply grateful for this experience. It has transformed my personal practice, and yoga has now become an integral part of my life.

My experience at this school was truly…

My experience at this school was truly unforgettable. From the very first day, I felt welcomed, supported, and surrounded by incredibly kind and inspiring people.
The teachers here are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring and passionate about what they do. You can feel how much love, knowledge, and attention they put into every class. I am deeply grateful to each of them they made this experience so meaningful and special.
I would also love to thank the wonderful cooks who prepared delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners every day. The food was made with such care and warmth that it felt like home.
A heartfelt thank you to the administrator and all the assistants for their friendliness, patience, and constant support. They were always ready to help, answer questions, and make sure everything was comfortable for everyone.
This place is more than just a school it’s a beautiful community filled with positive energy, kindness, and inspiration. It was my first time in Goa, and thanks to this school, it became a place that will forever stay in my heart.
I truly didn’t want to leave. I cannot recommend this school highly enough to anyone looking for an enriching, heartfelt, and life-changing experience. I will definitely come back again.

Teacher Training

Great yoga teacher training! The anatomy section was super helpful, and the online anatomy teacher explained everything so clearly. The example classes, along with the adjustment and alignment guidance, were really useful. I highly recommend this training

I have just completed the 200 hour online teacher training with Himalya Valley Yoga and enjoyed it from start to finish. This is a well-designed, easy to follow online program with support available when needed. Professional teachers with a wealth of knowledge covering all aspects of yoga - philosophy, meditation, anatomy, ayurveda, asanas and much more. Having access to the Alaya app is an added bonus and allows you to join classes at times that suit your schedule. Whether you're looking to deepen your practice or become a yoga teacher, I would highly recommend.

Excellent course

I have just finished the course & would highly recommend it if you’ve been considering the training. The course is great to fit in around your other commitments due to it being online but having the hybrid option is an added bonus. I have learnt so much through the course content & really enjoyed the live asana classes & the lectures. The support, encouragement & quick response from the course leaders is fantastic.I feel that I now live yoga rather than just practice it!

Just do it , it’s amazing 🧘.

I would absolutely recommend this course. I started with doubtful voices in my head but all of this knowledge and practice has quashed those doubts .I love the straight forward way in which the course is delivered. For me the flexibility of doing online classes at a time that suits as well as the live classes was a vital part of my success. It took almost 5 months and it was such a time of personal growth for me. I feel so confident in my practice and abilities and feel ready to start my new chapter as a yoga teacher. I absolutely loved Monika’s classes and will definitely be continuing to join her online classes.

Don't wait, enrol today!!

Enrolling with Himalaya Yoga Valley was one of the best decisions I ever made! The course is so well thought-out and tutors are knowledgeable, encouraging and inspirational. The curriculum covers so much but is broken down into manageable lessons, which makes the online course so accessible to a busy, working mum, like myself. The addition of Alaya's live classes has been brilliant and helped my own personal practice and inspired me to want to teach too. Eveanna's subsequent marketing lesson after graduation was an absolute revelation! She enthuses all the new graduates and motivates us all to move forward on our journey...she so kindly and eloquently gives us newly qualified yoga teachers all the little push we need to jump into teaching!! She is a wonder!! If you are considering whether or not to enrol, decide today to start, you will not regret it!! Thank you all at Himalaya Yoga Valley!!

A yoga programme that is rich in content

I am about half-way through my online 200hour HYV teacher training. I really like the richness of the content, covering philosophy, chanting, meditation, anatomy, Ayurveda and so much more. I signed up because I want to deepen my own understanding of what it is to live within yoga practice. maybe I will teach, maybe I will not, but the primary goal for me is to enrich my yoga journey.
The material is accessible and rich in experience and knowledge. The tutors are personable, kind and so supportive. This could well be the yoga teaching programme for you too.

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

I recently completed the 200 Hour YTT & it was a great experience. The Himalaya Yoga Valley team are thoroughly professional, with wonderful teaching, a very well structured curriculum & support available in person & on line. Coupled with excellent, traditional teaching in their studios & on the Alaya online platform I would highly recommend Himalaya Yoga Valley.

Absolutely lovely experience

Absolutely lovely experience, very well structured, and paced. All the members of Himalaya involved were very supportive, and inclusive. Being a beginner myself in "yoga world" I appreciate the most that Himalaya is teaching a traditional path of yoga. If you are interested in going into the roots of the yoga, and want to either deepen your personal practice, or become a yoga, or pranayama teacher, do not hesitate for too long;-)

Himalaya Yoga Valley in Goa offers an…

Himalaya Yoga Valley in Goa offers an exceptional and truly transformative yoga teacher training experience. Having completed both my 200-hour and 300-hour certifications with HYV, I can confidently recommend them due to the superior quality of their teaching. The instructors are not only deeply knowledgeable across all facets of yoga – from anatomy and philosophy to asana and pranayama – but also exceptionally dedicated and supportive, fostering a rich learning environment. I learned so much about the practice of yoga, taught with so much respect for the origins of the practice, and I also learned so much about myself along the journey! Plus the beautiful setting in Goa doesn't hurt :)

The entire team at Himalaya Yoga Valley is outstanding. Their passion for yoga and commitment to student growth is evident in every interaction, creating a nurturing and inspiring community. Beyond the initial trainings, the post-graduate support is a standout feature. This includes the opportunity to take part in the internship program and allowing you to go back and assist the teaching team which was such an amazing experience. I also received invaluable business coaching from Eveanna, both with ongoing group coaching calls and in one to one chats. Eveanna provides practical guidance and empowers graduates to confidently establish and grow their own yoga careers. She helped me focus my ideas and gain clarity on my decision to start my own yoga business which was really invaluable support!

If you're considering teacher training with HYV I say go for it, you won't regret it! It's a truly holistic program that extends well beyond the mat.

We’ve had the most wonderful 6 week block with Sonia and our group

We’ve had the most wonderful experience at Himalaya Yoga Valley, Sonia our yogo instructor has gone above and beyond to create a welcoming, inclusive, and nurturing environment for our group of students with additional needs. From the very first session, the instructors showed incredible patience, adaptability, and genuine care, making each student feel comfortable and supported. The sessions are thoughtfully structured to meet a range of abilities, with clear guidance and a calm, encouraging atmosphere. It’s been amazing to see our students grow in confidence, body awareness, and relaxation skills
