100 Hours Teacher Training in Hatha and Ashtanga, Vinyasa Yoga

Peaceful Mind – The Ancient Yoga is a Yoga Alliance USA affiliated school offering a 15-day, intensive 100-hour teacher training in Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga for beginner-level students. Held in the beautiful settings of Goa and Dharamshala, India, this program is designed to introduce the essential foundations of yoga in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Led by experienced, qualified, dedicated, and professional teachers, the course is ideal for beginners who want to begin a yoga teacher training journey, deepen their personal practice, and explore the spiritual side of yoga. Strong attention is given to safe posture practice, while anatomy and physiology are studied throughout the training in Agonda Beach, Goa, and Dharamshala.

This 100-hour course includes Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, asanas, pranayama, meditation, kriyas, and an alignment and adjustment workshop. It is especially suitable for those with limited time, for practitioners who wish to strengthen their practice without necessarily planning to teach, or for students looking to add hours to an existing certification. The training is intended to support both personal growth and the confidence needed on the path toward becoming a yoga teacher.

For students unable to complete a full 200-hour course in one month, the training can be completed in two parts. After finishing the first 100 hours, the remaining 100 hours may be completed within the same year, in any month that suits the student’s return. The certificate is awarded once all required hours, assignments, and examinations are successfully completed.
