Take your teaching and personal practice to the next level with our 300 Hours Yoga Teacher Training Course in Goa. This advanced Yoga Alliance-certified program is designed for certified 200-hour yoga teachers who wish to deepen their knowledge, refine their teaching skills, and explore the traditional wisdom of yoga in greater depth. Throughout the course, you’ll study advanced asana practice, anatomy, alignment, yoga philosophy, pranayama, meditation, sequencing, adjustments, and teaching methodology while practicing in a supportive and inspiring environment near the beautiful beaches of Goa.

For the working teacher refining the craft

Who this is for, and who it isn’t

You already teach. You hold an RYT 200 and you have led enough classes to know exactly where you are thin: your hands are timid on adjustments, your sequences have started repeating, and you have no idea how to price a retreat. You want four weeks to fix the craft, in a room full of other working teachers rather than beginners. You want RYT 500 on the other side of it, and you would rather be warm while you work.

Before you apply

  • A completed 200 hour teacher training from a Yoga Alliance registered school. Any school, not only ours. Send the certificate with your application.
  • Some teaching behind you. The practicum assumes you have stood in front of a class before, even a small one.
  • A self-practice you can run unled, because the day opens with an unguided Mysore-style block from the first morning.
  • The full 28 days.
  • Physical readiness for advanced work. Inversions, arm balances and deep backbends are taught, and taught daily.

Outcomes

What you’ll be able to teach after this

  • Give hands-on adjustments across every posture family with enough confidence that the student relaxes into the contact
  • Sequence around a theme, an anatomical focus or a peak pose, and keep that going for a whole term without recycling the same class
  • Teach a mixed-level room: offer three versions of a posture in real time for the bodies actually in front of you
  • Teach inversions, arm balances and deeper backbends safely, including how to spot and when to say no
  • Price, fill and run your own workshop or retreat, and know what a studio expects from a contracted teacher
  • Register your training toward RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance

I’m so happy I completed my TTC with Alpesh. He’s an amazing teacher and practitioner whose classes are simply the best I’ve ever attended, on any continent. During the course, I sometimes asked myself if it was easy or difficult, and while the difficult aspect was there, it was purely physical. Learning from Alpesh and Rashmi about yoga was a privilege, and every minute at the school was so precious. The truth is, once you’re there, you feel at home and simply don’t want to leave :) I miss the school so much already, and I feel so, so grateful for the time there! ❤️

I had the privilege of completing my hatha Yoga Teacher Training with Alpesh five years ago, and it was an absolutely transformative experience. With joy and gratitude, I returned to yoga classes this year to once again learn from him. Alpesh is an exceptional teacher—deeply knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to the principles of yoga. Moreover, during the classes, he creates a pleasant atmosphere where you can feel completely at ease. The training was comprehensive, with a strong emphasis on alignment, precision, and the philosophy of yoga. Alpesh provided personalized guidance, ensuring I grew not only in my practice but also in my ability to teach with confidence and clarity. I highly recommend Alpesh Yoga in Arambol to anyone seeking to deepen their practice or pursue teacher training in hatha yoga! Thank you again. With gratitude. Ewa

I recently completed my yoga training with Alpesh Yoga Goa and had a great experience. It really felt like home. Alpesh is a wonderful teacher — a perfect mix of strict and soft — and his teaching is clear, knowledgeable, and straight to the point. The food was also delicious and very nourishing. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and well-structured yoga experience in Goa.

Alpesh is a very experienced and talented yoga teacher. I have been visiting Arambol for many winter holidays and attend Alpesh classes to improve and strengthen my yoga practice. The classes are very focused, alignment is key to get flow. After three weeks I leave much stronger with much improved posture (sternum up, shoulders back, courage). In Alpesh classes I have become good at headstands and other yoga poses I thought were outside of my reach. Its important for me to Listen to learn and I make an effort. (Mostly;) Alpesh yoga studio attracts good interesting people who are fun and supportive. A great environment to learn, grow, connect and have fun. Thank you Alpesh yoga school. I love the studio and energy. Sean London

I recently completed my ttc and am so happy i chose Alpeshyoga school. I was welcomed like in a family. The teachers are fantastic, the morning classes with Alpesh are the best i've ever taken. He manages to convey his deep understanding of alignments with extreme precision and passion. Maithily, the theory teacher, with her incredible knowledge and culture, was able to explain her lessons with extreme clarity, always making the class enjoyable and engaging. And finally, Rashmi, with her empathy and depth of soul... Made the evening practices a unique experience that i recommend to everyone. And the food prepared with love by two very sweet ladies... Amazing! For me, they were not just teachers but also true friends... This experience has brought profound changes to me. I thank them all and hope to join them soon for another journey together🙏

FAQ

Common questions

  • You need a completed 200 hour yoga teacher training certificate (from any Yoga Alliance registered school, not necessarily ours). The course is designed for certified teachers ready to deepen their knowledge and refine their teaching.

  • Yes — combined with your existing 200 hour certification, completing our Yoga Alliance registered 300 hour training puts you on the path to registering as RYT 500, the highest standard teaching credential.

  • Advanced asana practice, refined alignment and hands-on adjustments, applied anatomy, deeper pranayama and meditation, yoga philosophy, and advanced sequencing and teaching methodology — with daily practice teaching.

  • $850 covers the full course, manual, props and certification. $1,400 adds accommodation near Arambol Beach and three vegetarian meals daily. That is a fraction of what comparable European-run schools charge for a 300 hour training.

  • Expect full training days — morning pranayama and alignment practice, afternoon philosophy, anatomy and methodology, and evening Hatha Vinyasa Flow and meditation, six days a week. Sundays are free to rest and explore Goa.

  • Apply online with your 200 hour certificate details. We confirm within 24 hours and send a deposit link for 30% of your chosen course or retreat price; the balance is due on arrival. Deposits are transferable to any batch within 12 months.

Choosing

Is this the right one for you?

Goa or Dharamshala?

Both courses are 28 days and both lead toward RYT 500. Goa is the craft course: advanced asana, adjustment clinics, sequencing for the kind of mixed-level class you will actually be hired to teach, and evening sessions on the business side. Dharamshala goes the other way, into pranayama, philosophy and teaching from lineage. Choose Goa if your gap is hands and structure.

300 hours, or a different level?

The 200 hour teaches you to run a class safely. This one assumes you already can. The whole day is built around your own practice and your own teaching being watched and corrected, in a room where everybody else is also a working teacher. It is not open to you without a 200 hour certificate.
