Why choose India for your Yoga Teacher Training Course?

Dharamsala is a picturesque mountain town nestled in the tranquility of the Himalayan mountain range. Undertaking your yoga teacher training in Dharamsala provides a unique opportunity to explore diverse spiritual traditions in a profoundly beautiful environment surrounded by breathtaking scenery. In the lush green surrounding mountains, you will find waterfalls, Hindu temples, and Buddhist stupas.

Our school is located in the peaceful but vibrant Bagsu neighborhood. Bagsu is renown for it’s famous ancient temple and waterfalls. Just a short walk up the mountain from the yoga center will bring you to secluded meditation spots and breathtaking views of the valley. If you wish to experience a deeper all day journey into the Himalayan landscape, the famous Triund trek’s trailhead is located nearby.

Dharamsala is the home of the world-famous Tibetan spiritual leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Since the 1960s the town has been the center of the Tibetan community in exile and houses many temples, monasteries, nunneries, and other cultural opportunities to be explored on your days off.

If you prefer majestic mountain views and interacting with diverse spiritual cultures, Dharamsala may be the ideal spot for you to undertake your teacher training course or yoga retreat. The unique combination of pristine landscape and accessibility of both Indian and Buddhist traditions sets the stage for an unforgettable spiritual experience! Dharamsala’s weather is ideal throughout the spring, summer, & early fall with sunny days and temperate nights.
