Study with authentic Himalayan yoga teachers in one of Europe’s most beautiful regions. This 200-hour training offers the depth and discipline of traditional Indian yoga, held within the softness and spaciousness of a Tuscan villa retreat.
The Tuscany 200-Hour YTTC follows Yoga Alliance standards for foundational training (RYS 200). It is designed to give you the skills and confidence to teach safe, grounded beginner to intermediate classes after graduation.
This is more than a certificate — it’s a personal journey. You will explore yoga as a complete lifestyle: movement, breath, meditation, study, rest and community. By the end of the training, you will not only know how to teach, but also how to live more consciously and peacefully.
Begin your path as a yoga teacher in Tuscany and carry these teachings into studios, communities and homes around the world.
After completing all classes, assignments and teaching practicums, you will receive a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from Himalaya Yoga (RYS 200). This allows you to register as an RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance, an international standard for yoga teachers.
Over approximately 18 days, you will move through a structured yet nurturing journey: from student to teacher. Mornings are dedicated to practice, afternoons to learning & teaching skills, and evenings to integration, reflection and rest.
The pace is immersive but supportive — ideal if you want to deepen your own practice and also feel ready to guide others by the end of the course.
The 200-hour Tuscany curriculum is aligned with Yoga Alliance requirements and covers: Techniques & Practice, Teaching Methodology, Anatomy & Physiology, Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle & Ethics, and Practicum.
The schedule is an example and may vary slightly with season, group needs and villa facilities.
The rhythm is designed to be immersive yet supportive, with space to rest and absorb what you learn.
Check-in Time: 14:00
Check-out Time: 11:00
During the 200-hour course, the Tuscan villa becomes your home, classroom and sanctuary. The spaces are designed for both community and privacy — so you can connect deeply and also rest deeply.
Rooms are cozy and simple, furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Many offer countryside views, and all are just a short walk from the yoga shala, dining areas and gardens.
Between sessions, you can relax by the pool, journal in the shade of a tree, or enjoy quiet cups of herbal tea overlooking the hills.
The training is held in Tuscany, Italy — famous for its golden light, vineyards, olive groves and hilltop towns. It offers a peaceful environment to step away from routine and immerse fully in yoga.
Mornings begin with soft light over the hills, days are filled with meaningful practice & study, and evenings often close with calm sunsets and starry skies.
It’s a setting that naturally supports reflection, learning and inner growth — perfect for a foundational 200-hour teacher training.
During the training, you will enjoy vegetarian meals inspired by both Mediterranean and yogic nutrition. Food is prepared to support steady energy, clear focus and comfortable digestion.
Think colourful vegetables, grains, pulses, salads and high-quality olive oil — crafted into wholesome dishes that keep you light yet nourished for practice.
Please mention your dietary requirements when booking so we can prepare accordingly.
In your free time, you can stay quietly at the villa or gently explore the beauty of Tuscany. Activities may depend on the exact villa location and season.
These optional activities help you integrate what you learn on the mat into everyday presence and joy.
Some students may also fly into Pisa (PSA) or Rome (FCO) and then take a train or a combination of train & car to Tuscany.
Tuscany is well connected by train from major Italian cities. Once you book, we will let you know the recommended nearest station (e.g. Florence, Siena or another regional stop).
If you prefer freedom to explore before / after the course, you can rent a car. Directions and GPS details for the villa will be provided after booking.
Once your reservation is confirmed, we will send detailed travel instructions, recommended arrival times and practical tips to help you arrive calmly and easily for the start of your 200-Hour YTTC in Tuscany.
Discover how simple daily choices — morning routines, food, movement, breath and rest — shape your energy and wellbeing as a teacher. You will learn practical Ayurveda and yogic lifestyle tools that you can bring back to your everyday life.
Your 200-hour training in Tuscany is led by experienced Himalayan and international instructors with years of dedicated practice and teaching behind them. They are here to support your first steps into teaching with clarity, kindness and practical wisdom.
