I thoroughly enjoyed the 200hr Online…

I thoroughly enjoyed the 200hr Online YTT. All of the staff and tutors were friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. The training really helped me to deepen my own practice and understanding of yoga and I'm excited to start teaching and to share what I've learned with my own students.

A thorough and well-rounded training.

Just received my graduation certificate for the 200 hour teacher training:) I loved this course and gained so much more than I expected from an online training. It is a well-rounded and thorough foundational yoga teacher training. The teachers have extensive knowledge in their subject specialism and the ability to revisit the sessions as recordings is particularly valuable.

Online Yoga Teacher Training with Himalaya Yoga Valley

This course exceeded my expectations and I feel delighted with it. It has been an authentic experience with genuine knowledgeable tutors from diverse backgrounds. I found the physical, mental and theoretical aspects a real worthwhile challenge. The course made me look at myself and my own lifestyle in new ways. I now feel part of a Yoga community in taking my teaching further.

Immersive Online Yoga Teacher Training

I took the 200 hour online yoga teacher training course run by Himalaya Yoga Valley this March and was really pleased with the immersive, inspiring experience. The online learning platform is well-structured and easy to use, with a wealth of information and resources you have unlimited access to even after completing the course. I wasn't really sure what to expect from online training (the thought of online meditation and pranayama was particularly scary!) but the live Zoom lectures and teaching sessions left me feeling really connected, both with teachers and fellow students. Great support from the entire staff at Himalaya Yoga Valley. Teachers thoroughly know their stuff, are always contactable and respond promptly to all questions. Also, excellent value for money. I can highly recommend this online course.

An amazing learning experience

I thoroughly enjoyed completing my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Himalaya Yoga Valley and I couldn't recommend training with the HYV team highly enough. Admittedly, I was weary about completing YTT online, however I quickly realised I had nothing to worry about with this course.

I really felt 'apart' of this course. It is clear that the teachers are not only incredibly passionate about their subject areas, but they all really went above and beyond to share that knowledge with students while making us feel fully supported in our learning. What's more, the respect the teachers have for each other was evident as well the respect they showed us as their students. This fostered a very inclusive and welcoming environment for my training.

This is also true of the live asana sessions which took place over the course. The team did a world class job of making virtual practice feel so connected through the excellent cues and individual student support we received during virtual Zoom workshops.

While I was so happy to advance my asana through my training, my expectations were exceeded in terms of what I learned about yoga theory and philosophy. I feel so much more connected to both the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga (beyond the asana) having completed this course.

The course was incredibly accessible in terms of payment options, as well as making recorded materials available, and supporting students to complete the course at a pace appropriate to them. These are factors which created a barrier for me before now. For this I am incredibly grateful that through Himalaya Yoga Valley I was able to make my dream a reality.

In sum, this was a five-star online learning experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the course to anyone looking for a more accessible way to complete 200hr YTT.

The best training with the best team

The best training with the best team! They share their deep knowledge of every facet of yoga in such a way that not only will your own practice be on a different level but you will be able to in turn teach your students with the same passion and depth that you learnt from your teachers. 11 years after my training with them they still inspire me to always give my best as a teacher and to myself with my own practice. This training was the best thing I could possibly have done and I am forever grateful to Himalaya Yoga Valley and their teachers.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. Did not know quite how studying Yoga online would be but this course has been so meticulously planned out, organised and streamlined for use by online students. As a completely new student and now fledgling teacher of Yoga I have no fear in my abilities thanks to the Himalaya Yoga Valley the learning experience I received. The support during and after you graduate is very reassuring and gives you great confidence.

What can I say!

What can I say. This is possibly one of the most well put together, and pleasurable training courses I have ever experienced. Not a stone goes unturned. You come out the other end like a fully fledged yogi. I can't wait to do my first class which I have booked in a month in a beautiful beach front studio. Just need to get some clients. Thanks to all of you. You are all very gifted. Might see me in Goa 🙏♥️🧘‍♀️if this year pans out! Positive vibes xxx

Life-changing education at its best!

There aren't enough words to express how much I loved and am grateful for this wonderful training course in my life.
I had always wanted to study YTT just to learn more about my own practice personally. But due to a young family and work commitments, I was unable to take a chunk of time out for myself, let alone travel abroad to study. So when the online training came up, I couldn't believe it as the schedule was very flexible and allowed time to learn, practice and explore the subjects in greater depth. The quality of the mentorship from each of the teachers was outstanding and the broad range of subjects covered were so interesting, very well structured and delivered in a very personal way. This course has given me a much wider understanding and knowledge of yoga, tools that have changed my life for the better and a thirst to continue as a student of Yoga forever. I began teaching yoga this year myself, something I never imagined I would be doing. So I am forever grateful for the wonderful team at Himalaya for this online teacher training course xx Emer O'Mahony.

Authentic , accessible and personable experience

I would highly recommend this yoga school. I successfully completed my YTT with them in 2020, on their online platform, during the pandemic. I had almost 20yrs of yoga experience before deciding to train as a teacher. I did hours of research on finding the best most authentic and accessible teacher training online, as travel wasn't an option at thus time. Their standards and teaching are extremely high and their values are based on community and you certainly feel instantly part of their community. I learned a lot about myself, during the course of the training and really embraced meditation as a daily practice thanks to Maeves early rise lectures. I am now a fully qualifies Yoga teacher and I cannot wait to travel and meet all the team in person, to learn more and continue may journey . A special thank you to Maeve who took the time to communicate with me and answer every single question i had before starting. Tony, Mandeep & Eveanna always obliging online forums and Lalit was such a dynamic and helpful asana teacher, encouraging with an extremely detailed eye knowing how to assist, even from zoom screen, his depth of knowledge of yoga and the body and what we are capable of doing is truly inspiring. Dr. Rajit, Adam & Viriams lectures were all so thought provoking and always encouraged me to read up more once the lecture was over. So on that note THANK YOU for the most amazing Teacher training course, it exceeded my expectations, such a personal touch to an online training. I cannot wait to meet you all and study more in Goa. Om Shanti

Himalaya Yoga Valley Teacher Training… your light becomes brighter by choosing the right path.

Himalaya Yoga Valley Teacher Training is the sort of training that goes beyond the proper technique and theory which are marvellous explained regarding Yoga. From the very moment you decide to enrol, the group of teachers will support you in many ways including how to accept your own light and share it with others. The training invites you to explore your own true potential and gradually, you begin to understand that becoming a Yoga teacher is a privilege that involves professional, personal and spiritual development, honouring the path you've chosen as well as the teachers that helped you walked the path. I'm grateful I made the right choice. Thank you

An honor to study with Himalaya

I am not the best with computers, and have never done anything online before. Right from the beginning I had the most helpful support, it was made simple and very soon I was able to find my way around. Module one was excellent. I was able to immerse myself into the daily classes and practice all of which were amazing. It really did set oneself up into daily yogic practice. Module two, done in a few months I found difficult in that I felt removed, less in contact from other students and online lessons. Like all practice it takes discipline. During this time I was assured and had all the support from tutors. It has definitely motivated me to continue further in my training and practice. I hope that one say soon I can physically come and do my 300hrs. I would highly recommend Himalaya Yoga centre to anyone. The standards are high, each student fully supported with utmost reverence, course material incredible. I learnt so much and feel was the tip of the iceberg. Each and every tutor is amazing and dedicated to what they do. Giving full commitment and enthusiasm. Thank you to all of you. Namaste and much love 🙏🏼

Thank You

I would like to say a heartful thank you for the time, energy and effort HYV have put into creating and running the online teacher training. I was unsure how I would find the online experience but everything was so well organised and thought through, it worked really well. I had a long held dream of doing a YTT course and after I having a baby in 2020, I thought it would be a very long term plan, and then along came your online training. Having the training online has opened up the possibility to so many people, like me. I was able to complete the course on my Maternity leave, so I have two great achievements from the last year, my little boy and my YTT qualification.
