Become a certified yoga teacher in the quietest classroom in India.
A 200-hour residential teacher training in Nubra Valley, Ladakh. You live in for the full course. Practice, theory, teaching hours, cooked vegetarian meals and rest are all handled in one place, so you can give the training your full attention.
A teacher training is not a certificate you collect on weekends. It is a month of practice, study, correction and teaching hours, in one place, with the same people, until the work becomes yours. That is what we built in Nubra Valley.
Most trainings give you hours. Few give you practice.
You can complete a teacher training on evenings and weekends and still feel unready to hold a room. Not because the material was wrong, but because the format never gave you enough uninterrupted time to absorb it.
Learning in fragments
Two hours here, a weekend there. Each session starts by remembering the last one. Very little settles in the body.
Watching, not teaching
Many courses are heavy on demonstration and light on you standing in front of people, cueing, adjusting and being corrected.
No standard to meet
If attendance alone earns the certificate, the certificate says very little about what you can actually do.
Here you practise twice a day, study daily, teach in front of the group, and sit a final assessment. You leave with a qualification you can stand behind.
What you will learn.
Seven areas, taught in plain language and practised daily. No prior teaching experience is needed, and the ancient texts are made simple before they are made deep.
Yoga philosophy
Where yoga comes from, and how it connects to ordinary daily life.
- The Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, explained simply
- The Eight Limbs of Yoga as a practical framework
- How to speak about philosophy to a modern class
Yoga postures (Asana)
Standing, seated, backbends, twists, inversions and balances, built up in order.
- Safe entry, holding and exit for every posture
- Adjustments, modifications and use of props
- How to guide a complete beginner without losing the room
Yoga anatomy
How the body actually works, so your cueing is based on structure rather than habit.
- Muscles, joints, bones and the nervous system
- How yoga loads the body, and how injuries are prevented
- Energy anatomy: chakras, bandhas and nadis
Breathing techniques (Pranayama)
Breath control for steadier energy, calmer attention and better practice.
- Nadi Shodhana, Ujjayi and Kapalabhati
- When to use each technique, and when not to
- Shatkarma practice, including sutra neti and jal neti
Meditation and chanting
Stillness as a trainable skill, taught step by step.
- Guided meditation and yoga nidra for deep rest
- Simple mantras and how to lead them with confidence
- Holding silence in a group without discomfort
How to teach yoga
The part most trainings rush. Here you teach, get corrected, and teach again.
- Sequencing and class planning
- Clear verbal cueing and safe hands-on correction
- Teaching mixed levels, from first-timers to advanced students
Ayurveda and yogic food
The basics of eating in a way that supports practice rather than working against it.
- Ayurvedic principles, kept practical
- A balanced sattvic vegetarian diet
- What to advise students, and where to stop and refer out
Optional YACEP add-on
An evening track for students who want to teach specialised groups and open more income streams.
- Certified Kids Yoga Teacher Training
- Certified Chair Yoga for seniors and special populations
- One hour daily, Monday to Friday, for enrolled students
The structure carries you.
You do not have to plan anything. The day is built to balance guided practice, self-study, teaching work and rest, so you can go deep without burning out.
Rest, reflect, and see where you are.
After an intensive week, the weekend is yours. Sleep in, review your notes, or go and look at the valley you are living in. Nothing is compulsory.
- Samstanling MonasteryA quiet place to sit and reflect.
- Eco Buddha ParkTime outdoors, at an easy pace.
- The sand dunesThe wide, still part of Nubra that most people come here for.
You do not need to be advanced. You need to be ready to work.
This training is beginner and intermediate friendly. Some exposure to basic postures and breathing helps, and if you have never practised at all, a few weeks in a local class before you arrive will serve you well.
Committed practitioners
You already practise and want to understand what you have been doing, and why it works.
Aspiring teachers
You want to teach, and you want the skills, the teaching hours and the qualification to start properly.
Beginners and intermediates
You are early in your practice and want to build it correctly, step by step, rather than picking things up at random.
People seeking balance
You want less stress and more structure, and you are willing to spend a month building habits that hold afterwards.
Fitness professionals
You coach or train others and want to add credible yoga instruction to what you already offer.
People changing direction
You are considering a different kind of working life and want a qualification you can genuinely build on.
The certificate is earned, not attended.
We hold a clear standard because your future students will rely on it. Discipline in training is what makes you trusted later.
Two requirements, stated plainly before you enrol.
- 90% attendance across the full course
- 75% or above in the final assessment
- Practical teaching evaluated, not just written work
- Alignment and cueing corrected throughout
- A retest offered online after one month if needed
- Certification presented at the graduation ceremony
You are taught by one lead teacher, for the whole course.
Srishti Aswal
Srishti leads mobility, yoga and prehab across all Fitness Bootcamp programs, and is the lead instructor for this teacher training. She teaches in English and Hindi, and is known for correcting quietly and often, which is exactly what a teacher in training needs.
Her focus is on safe, well-cued teaching. You will finish the course knowing not only how a posture should look, but what to do when the person in front of you cannot get there yet.
A good yoga teacher is not the one with the most advanced practice. It is the one whose beginners stay safe, stay interested, and come back next week.
A premium homestay in Nubra Valley.
You stay at our homestay in Nubra Valley, surrounded by the Trans-Himalayan ranges and a Buddhist monastery. It is quiet, and that quiet is part of the training.

What the month actually looks like.

Check-in is on 1 August 2027 and check-out is on 29 August 2027. Pick-up is at 12 PM sharp from Leh Airport on the check-in date, and drop-off is at 10 AM at Leh Airport on the check-out date.

The YACEP add-on is optional and priced separately.
Three steps, and a real conversation before you commit.
Send your application
A short form covering your practice, your goals and your health history. It takes a few minutes.
Speak with us
We go through the course, the standard and the altitude with you, and answer everything before any payment is discussed.
Confirm your place
Once your place is booked, you receive your joining instructions, packing list and flight guidance for Leh.
Everything students ask before they book.
If something is not covered here, ask us. We would rather answer ten questions now than have you arrive unsure.
The program is conducted in both English and Hindi, so you can follow it comfortably in either language.
You should be medically fit with no existing health conditions that would make a month of daily practice unsafe. Basic familiarity with pranayama and yoga postures is preferred. The course is beginner and intermediate friendly. If you have never practised yoga, we recommend joining a local class first to build some basic exposure.
Yes. You will be eligible to teach once you score 75% or above in the final assessment and maintain 90% attendance during the program.
If you score below 75% or miss the attendance requirement, we offer a retest after one month, online, from home. That gives you time to review and prepare properly for a second attempt.
We are not being strict for its own sake. We are committed to you becoming a disciplined, professional teacher. That discipline is what builds trust and respect with your future students, and it is what makes your certificate mean something.
The core training focuses on Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga. Students who take the optional YACEP add-on also cover Certified Kids Yoga and Chair Yoga for seniors and special populations.
The dates are fixed and you must join on the check-in date. Because the course is in Ladakh, a high-altitude region, official guidance recommends acclimatising for 24 to 48 hours before moving to higher passes. For your safety we have built in 72 hours of acclimatisation in Leh before we travel to our base in Nubra Valley.
Pick-up is at 12 PM sharp from Leh Airport on the check-in date. Drop-off is at 10 AM at Leh Airport on the check-out date.
Share your flight details with us after you pre-book your place. We can arrange a private pick-up or drop-off for Rs. 1,000 one way between the Leh property and Leh Airport, paid directly to the taxi driver.
Nubra Valley is 120 km from Leh and the drive takes around five hours by taxi.
Yes, a private room upgrade is available at additional cost. If you have chosen the private training package, a private room is already included. We strongly recommend upgrading before arrival, because availability may not be there if you ask once you have already arrived.
- You want complete privacy for your stay.
- You prefer a private bathroom.
- You snore, and would rather not worry about your roommate.
- You need a fan or heating even in cold months.
- You need a light on while sleeping.
- You find it difficult to share a room comfortably.
- You like listening to music or watching something in the evening without disturbing anyone.
Yes. A first-aid medical kit and an oxygen cylinder are included and carried throughout the entire program.
If you are medically fit, you do not need to act on general advice you have seen online. We have hosted thousands of guests in Ladakh, and proper acclimatisation is what matters. Our team will guide you step by step once you arrive. Any medication decision should be made with your own doctor, not from social media.
Yes, completely and honestly. If you have a serious medical condition we may not be able to include you in the program. Please do not hold anything back. Your safety at altitude is our first responsibility, and we expect participants to be medically fit for this course.
Yes. One yoga mat, sutra neti, jal neti, a course manual, a notebook and a pen are all provided. You do not need to bring these with you.
No. You are charged exactly what is listed on this page. We do not have separate foreigner pricing and there are no hidden costs.
Please do. Message us on WhatsApp or email us with anything at all about the course, the altitude, the food, the schedule or the certification. We would rather you arrive completely clear about what you have signed up for.
