In essence
Our 100 Hour Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in Kerala, India is the first half of our 200H TTC: you start on the same day, with the same teachers and the same group, and join for the first 14 days. It is designed for those who feel called to train, but don’t have the time or capacity for four weeks right now. You will walk away with a 100H Yoga Alliance certification, a strong foundation in traditional yoga and the option to come back and complete your 200H later.

where you will stay
A Campus Built Around Kerala's Nature
Our newly built campus in Varkala is set around lush Kerala plants and greenery, designed to give you privacy, calm and space to focus. Practise in three open-air yoga shalas, cool off in our private pool, and unwind in the gardens and chill-out spaces in between classes. All just a 5-minute walk from the beach.
where you will sleep
All You Need for Peaceful & Refreshing Sleep
Stay in peaceful, comfortable rooms designed for rest and focus, each with its own bathroom. Choose between shared or private options, with or without AC. Every package includes the 14-day training, 14 nights in your room of choice and three vegetarian meals a day. All prices are per person.
Rooms of the same type are spread across two buildings, the main campus and a second house right next to it. A private room in one is not identical to a private room in the other, though both are private rooms with their own bathroom. Which building you are given is assigned at random rather than chosen.

faq
your questions, answered
What is the difference between the 100H and the 200H yoga TTC?
The 100H is the first 14 days of our 200H TTC. You start on the same day, follow the same classes with the same group, and complete the first half of every subject. The 200H continues for another 14 days and leads to the Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certification.
Can I complete my 200H later?
Yes. Your 100 hours count toward your 200H certification. Whenever you’re ready, join any later 200H training from day 15 for the second half, and complete your 200H with us.
Can I teach yoga after the 100H?
The 100H gives you a strong foundation and a 100H Yoga Alliance certification (YACEP). To register as a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 teacher, you complete the full 200 hours.
How much does the 100H yoga TTC cost?
Our 100H Yoga TTC costs from €749 in a shared AC dorm to €1,149 in a private room with AC, including 14 nights of accommodation and three vegetarian meals a day. You can also join without accommodation from €549.
How are the classes structured during the training?
Practical classes are taught in small groups with a maximum of one teacher for every fifteen students, so you always receive personal guidance. Theory is taught in interactive and informal lectures led by subject experts. For more details, you can review our full training curriculum.
