The whole experience
From the welcome ceremony to the certificate in your hand
A course here is not just 11 days of classes. It opens with a traditional ceremony and closes with one, and everything in between is designed so you leave able to teach — not just able to practise.
Day one — you are welcomed
Before a single class, there is a ceremony: a tilak, marigold garlands, and a circle where the whole batch says their name out loud.
Every morning — you practise
Asana at sunrise, alignment worked pose by pose, philosophy and anatomy once the day has warmed up. Six days a week.
Halfway — you start teaching
The course turns. You stop being taught and start teaching: hands-on assists, sequencing, and each other as your first students.
Last day — you graduate
Flower crowns, garlands, and a Yoga Alliance certificate handed to you in person at the closing ceremony. Nothing to wait for in the post.
For the meditation-first traveller
Who comes up to Bhagsu for this
You are probably already somewhere in North India, and you came looking for something quieter than a beach. Sitting practice interests you more than handstands. You want real hours on breath and meditation, not fifteen minutes tacked onto the end of an asana class. Eleven days in a Himalayan village, cold mornings, early nights, a small group and a walk uphill to the shala. No certificate needed to join, and no pressure to teach afterwards.
Before you book
- No certificate or prior training required. Complete beginners join every batch.
- You are at Himalayan altitude here. Arrive a day or two early and let your breathing settle before the pranayama block begins.
- A willingness to be cold in the mornings and quiet in the evenings. There is no nightlife in Upper Bhagsu, and that is the point.
- Tell us about back or knee problems, blood pressure conditions or pregnancy in your booking. Several pranayama techniques are modified or dropped in those cases.
Outcomes
What eleven days of breath and sitting give you
- Sit for a full 45 minutes without your legs or your attention giving out
- Practise nadi shodhana, ujjayi, kapalabhati and bhramari correctly, and know which one a given morning calls for
- Lead a short guided meditation for a friend or a small group
- Move competently through Hatha, Vinyasa and restorative practice instead of only the one style you already know
- Talk about the eight limbs without reaching for the handout
- Leave with a written morning routine of your own design, and the discipline to keep it going at home

What graduates say
Completing the 200-hour yoga teacher training course has been a dream of mine for quite a few years now. The training was well structured, with a good balance between time in the classroom and time on the mat.

The place is really great! I love Alpesh’s classes , they are so nice and they helped me deepen my practice so much! If you are someone who really wants to work on yourself I think this is the place for it . The best part is they are in both mountains and beach cities so it’s a true blessing learning and being there around the lovely environment:)Read on Google→

I completed my 200-hour, 300-hour, and 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training Courses with Alpesh Yoga, and it has been one of the most valuable experiences in my yoga journey. I initially joined as a regular student seeking relief from back pain and sinus issues. As my practice progressed, I experienced significant improvement in both, which inspired me to deepen my understanding of yoga and eventually pursue the teacher training courses. Looking back, I am extremely happy that I made that decision. What sets Alpesh Sir apart is his genuine dedication to his students. He pays close attention to alignment, technique, and understanding, and patiently explains concepts until students gain clarity and confidence. His teaching style is thorough, practical, and easy to understand, making even complex yogic concepts accessible. Along with Alpesh Sir, his team has also been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. Together, they create a learning environment that is welcoming, professional, and encouraging. Beyond the physical practice of yoga, Alpesh Sir shares valuable insights, experiences, and yogic wisdom that help students understand the deeper essence of yoga and how to apply it in daily life. The classes are not only educational but also inspiring, encouraging personal growth, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to the practice. The training provided me with a strong foundation that has helped me build and teach my own yoga classes with confidence. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, authenticity, and passion for teaching make him an exceptional teacher and mentor.Read on Google→

I can’t say enough good things about my time with the team at Alpesh Yoga. Sometimes it’s hard to find a teacher who is both technically brilliant and genuinely kind, but that’s exactly what you get here. I appreciated how much individual attention we received; it made the whole experience feel very personal. I’m heading home feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful for the lessons I learned on the mat. Whether you’re a beginner or a teacher, you’ll find something special here.Read on Google→

I did a 100-hour course with Alpesh, it was a really good experience, very personal treatment and the course was intimate and varied. Alpesh is a very caring teacher, he knew exactly what each person's strengths are and the points to which they need to pay more attention. Highly recommend, even just to come to a drop-in class in the morning to strengthen your body and get yourself in shape if you can't stay for the course.Read on Google→

It was a great and positive experience choosing to take the course at Alpesh Yoga. He was able to share his knowledge with me and help me understand even more, enabling me to better perform the asanas, their alignment, possibilities, and meaning. Likewise, the atmosphere, the classes, and Alpesh's great helpful and kind personality made me feel comfortable and see improvement .Thank you!!!Read on Google→

FAQ
Common questions
Yes — it is built for beginners, enthusiasts and aspiring teachers taking their first step. Over 11 days you build a solid foundation in postures, breathing and meditation through structured daily practice with personal guidance.
The curriculum blends traditional Hatha Alignment, Hatha Vinyasa Flow, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology — so you experience the main streams of classical practice rather than a single style.
A 100 hour certificate from our Yoga Alliance registered school. It is the ideal first stage toward a full 200 hour certification, which you can complete later with us in Goa or Dharamshala.
$440 is tuition only. $600 adds your room in Bhagsu plus three vegetarian meals a day, for the full 11-day course. Traveling as a couple? It is $500 per person with stay ($1,000 total).
Our Dharamshala season runs from late spring through early autumn — May to September — when the valley is green, the days are mild and clear, and the evenings still cool off fast at 2,000 m. The 2026 season closes at the end of September and we reopen in Bhagsu in May 2027; new dates go on the dates and prices page as soon as they are confirmed. From late October to April the same 100 hour course runs at our Goa campus. Pack layers either way: a fleece for the mornings, practice clothes, good walking shoes for the village paths, and a light waterproof if you are training in the monsoon months.
Fly to Dharamshala (Gaggal) airport or take an overnight bus from Delhi to McLeod Ganj. The shala is at Upper Bhagsu, near Beetroot Cafe and Kibbutz — we help every student arrange the last leg.
Just 30% of your chosen course or retreat price to reserve your seat once we confirm availability, with the balance payable on arrival. The deposit is transferable to any future batch within 12 months.
Choosing
Is this the right one for you?
Dharamshala or Goa?
Goa runs the same hours with a precise alignment emphasis and a beach at the end of the afternoon. Here the longest block of the day is breath and sitting, the group is smaller, and the village goes dark by six. Choose Bhagsu if the mind is what you came to work on, and if you would rather walk to a waterfall than a beach bar.
100 hours, or a different level?
Our 200 hour course in Bhagsu takes the same subjects over 22 days, then adds anatomy, teaching methodology, practice teaching and an assessment, and ends with an RYT 200 certificate. These eleven days do not certify you to teach. They are for people who want the practice for its own sake, or who want to test the mountain routine before committing three weeks to it.

Style & approach
A multi-style yoga teacher training: Hatha Alignment and Hatha Vinyasa Flow
This 100-hour course is genuinely multi-style, not a single-lineage program. Mornings open with pranayama and alignment-based Hatha asana, the late afternoon moves into a Hatha Vinyasa Flow practice, and every day closes with guided meditation — so you graduate with a working foundation across styles, not just one.
That multi-style grounding in Hatha Alignment and Hatha Vinyasa Flow is also what makes this course a natural first step toward our 200-hour training in Dharamshala, which builds on the same foundation.
