Rooms are simple, cozy and designed for rest, often with private or shared bathrooms, fans or AC (depending on the chosen category), comfortable beds and space for your belongings and study materials.

Practice in well-equipped shalas with mats and props, settle into hammocks during breaks, or enjoy quiet moments journaling in the shade. Our local team supports you with housekeeping, logistics and practical needs so that you can remain focused on your advanced yoga journey.

This is more than accommodation – it is a living yoga retreat environment that supports the depth and intensity of a 300-hour advanced training in Goa.

Training Location – Goa, India

Himalaya Yoga in Goa – Advanced Training by the Sea

The 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training takes place in North Goa, a region known for its calm beaches, palm-lined coastline and gentle tropical climate. Away from party crowds, we choose quieter areas ideal for serious yoga practice.

Your days will move in harmony with nature – sunrise and sunset over the sea, ocean air during asana practice, and starlit skies above the retreat at night. This natural rhythm grounds the intensive inner work of a 300-hour YTTC and supports deeper integration of the teachings.

The retreat is close to local cafés, simple shops and Ayurvedic treatments, offering just enough convenience while preserving a peaceful, focused training atmosphere.

Located close to:
