Himalaya Yoga is a traditional yoga school rooted in the sacred foothills of Rishikesh, India and offering 300 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Trainings in selected locations worldwide. From our Himalayan ashram to retreat venues in Goa, Spain, Italy and online programs, we bring authentic yoga education to dedicated practitioners across the globe.
As a Yoga Alliance certified RYS 500 school, we offer an integrated pathway of 200 Hour, 300 Hour and 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings. Our 300 Hour YTTC is designed for already certified 200-hour teachers who want to deepen their sadhana, refine their teaching and step confidently toward the RYT 500 level.
Each 300-hour course follows the same Himalayan lineage, curriculum and teaching team, while the environment adapts to your needs: immersive ashram life in Rishikesh & Goa, inspiring retreat settings in Spain & Italy, and flexible online training options for those who cannot travel. Every location has its own dedicated page with detailed curriculum, accommodation and dates.
Whether you join us in India, Europe or online, you receive the same high-quality, Yoga Alliance–recognized education: advanced asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology that prepare you to guide students worldwide with clarity, integrity and heart.
Himalaya Yoga is rooted in a traditional ashram above the Ganga in Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga. Every 300-hour training we offer – in India, Europe or online – is grounded in this Himalayan lineage, so you receive authentic teachings wherever you join us.
This 300-hour training is designed for graduates of a 200-hour YTT and follows Yoga Alliance standards for advanced-level education. Combined with your existing 200-hour certificate, it contributes toward registration as an RYT® 500, recognized worldwide.
The course is designed to deepen your sadhana and strengthen your ability to guide others. You refine your practice of asana, pranayama and meditation, while exploring philosophy, subtle body and Ayurveda in a practical, grounded way.
Whether you join us in Rishikesh, Goa, Spain, Italy or online, you are guided by the same teaching team and values: clarity, simplicity and respect for the roots of yoga.
On successful completion of all requirements you receive a 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from Himalaya Yoga (RYS 300). Together with your 200-hour certificate, this qualifies you to apply for RYT® 500 registration with Yoga Alliance.
The 300-hour training follows one core curriculum, delivered in different formats: intensive residential programs in India and Europe, and an online training option. Each format keeps the same quality of teaching, while adapting the rhythm to the setting.
Building on your 200-hour foundation, you refine your practice, deepen your understanding of yoga philosophy and anatomy, and learn to design and hold advanced-level classes, workshops and retreats with clarity and confidence.
The curriculum is aligned with Yoga Alliance requirements for advanced training and covers all five main categories: techniques, teaching methodology, anatomy and physiology, philosophy and ethics, and practicum. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The 300 hours are distributed across the Yoga Alliance Educational Categories so that you receive a balanced training in practice, theory and teaching skills. The exact numbers may vary slightly by location and format, but a typical structure looks like:
At least the minimum hours required by Yoga Alliance for each category are met or exceeded, with the remaining hours used to deepen the areas most relevant to advanced-level teaching. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Most of these hours are delivered as live contact hours (in-person or online), complemented by guided self-study, reading and assignments.
For residential trainings in India and Europe, days are structured to balance practice, study and rest. Exact timings differ slightly by location and season, but a typical day might look like:
Online trainings follow a schedule adapted to time zones, with clear guidance on home practice and recommended self-study time between live sessions.
Himalaya Yoga offers different ways to study: traditional ashram stays in India, retreat-style accommodations in Europe, and online trainings you can follow from home. All formats are designed to support focus, simplicity and a grounded daily rhythm.
Online students receive clear guidance on how to set up a simple practice space at home, along with live sessions, recordings and study materials.
The 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is offered in several locations and formats. Each has its own atmosphere, while the core content and teaching team remain the same.
Detailed information about venues, dates, prices and travel is provided on each location’s dedicated course page.
Exact inclusions may vary slightly between India, Europe and online trainings. Please refer to the specific course page for details.
Across all our residential venues, food is kept simple, nourishing and aligned with yogic principles. Meals are vegetarian and mostly sattvic, helping you sustain steady energy and a clear mind during intensive study.
Specific menus and food styles vary by country and venue. More information is shared in the pre-arrival pack for each training.
Time outside of classes is intentionally kept simple so you can rest, integrate or explore gently. Depending on the location, you may have access to mountains, river walks, beaches, villages or historic towns.
Optional excursions may be offered in some trainings. These are always voluntary and scheduled to respect the rhythm of your study and rest.
Each training venue is chosen for ease of access while still offering a peaceful environment. The nearest airports, train stations and transfer options are listed on the individual course pages and in your pre-arrival information.
Once you register, we send you practical guidance for your specific training so you can plan your journey with clarity and arrive feeling prepared and relaxed.
