Would highly recommend Himalaya

Would highly recommend Himalaya. I went deep into practice and theory. In just under a month you will leave here feeling confident to teach your own classes and have a great understanding of yoga.

I completed my 300hour YTT with Himalaya Yoga Valley in Goa.
The team have a wealth of knowledge and are all so passionate about sharing it and enriching each trainee with their valuable insights and expertise. The training was interactive which made the learning so much more enjoyable.
I would highly recommend this course, it is jam packed, well paced and balanced with so many topics and modalities covered.
The tranquil setting, nourishing food and friendly staff creates the perfect environment to learn, grow and up-skill . Such an interesting course to learn how to help yourself and others live life fully with their holistic view, not just looking at the physical body but the subtle body also.
It is trauma informed, well organised and executed. Really looking forward to bringing these learnings and practices into my teaching.

Best decision ever!

Training with Himalaya Yoga Valley has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. They have been professional, supportive, accommodating and so kind from the second I signed up. The teaching online and in person is exceptional and covered a variety of topics all done very well.
It’s rare these days to find companies who stay true to their word and put the needs of the clients at the forefront, Himalaya do this with ease. I will forever be grateful for the trust I placed in them, they have exceeded all my expectations.

My second training and so glad I did it!

When COVID hit I was thinking of joining the HYV course but then waited and did my training in India with a different organisation. That program was good but flash forward a few years + some teaching and I wound up enrolling in the HYV course because something about how I perceived it would be delivered stayed with me. I'm so glad I did! It is the most interactive, structured and comprehensive curriculum I think you will find. It is incredibly professional, with a wealth of resources. The instructors are an absolute wealth of knowledge and you feel part of a particular lineage. The best part and main reason I would recommend this to anyone is that it's not just a bunch of pre-recorded videos but everyday you have some opportunity to engage in real time with the community.

Wholesome, traditional, beautiful, beneficial

I have been drawn to this course thanks to its purity of traditional Himalayan style and inclusion of philosophy, mantras and meditation, which to me is very important as modern Western world constantly rushing somewhere often reduces yoga to physical movement without any deeper thought.
I am finding this course beneficial to me both as a student and an aspiring teacher.
I must say it's been difficult for me to make the transition from studying yoga and teaching yoga and I still have a long journey to go thanks to my perfectionism and also my Ego that often gets in the way, yet I must say this yogic school has been extremely helpful, so full of advice and methods how to make this transition smoother and more accessible, so truly, with this course you cannot go wrong and if you do, you know it is you being in your own way.
I cannot thank the creator of this course and all the teachers enough for this platform and their ongoing kindness and high quality support when needed.
I hope to be able to make my transition to teaching soon so I can pass what I have been studying onto others in hope to create better, kinder, more thoughtful world.

I would recommend this course wholeheartedly to everyone who considers yoga more than physical movement and who looks to teach others beauty of this old traditional technique.

Namaste 🙏

Lovely studio

Lovely studio! I only attended the South Mall studio in Cork City, but I'm sure the other studios are just as lovely. They provide everything you need for the classes, and you're free to bring your own. The teachers are knowledgeable and help you get the most out of your practice. An absolute delight - both in studio and online. Also, whenever I've needed to ask something over email, the replies were minutes away - very fast! Thank you for providing this space for us.

The best course for yoga teaching

I am so glad that I find Himalaya Yoga Valley. Not only will you receive a high-quality foundation for teaching yoga or your own practice, but you will also receive it with a warm feeling and a positive attitude. The team is qualified and friendly.

Even though I have already completed the course, I am still part of their community, which I will always be very happy to return to.

I absolutely recommend the online yoga teacher training at Himalaya Yoga Valley. My own yoga teacher trained in person with the course director and knowing that I am learning from a genuine, holistic Ashtanga lineage is important to me. I feel absolutely held, supported and encouraged by an incredible family of knowledgeable and experienced practitioners. The live asana classes are unpacked to develop your understanding. The offer of recorded and live programs of philosophy, meditation , Ayurveda and anatomy classes are enlightening and led by real expert teachers who guide you in beautifully crafted small step lessons. The course has developed and enhanced my yoga journey and with commitment is manageable in my busy life as a teacher. I can’t wait to have the time to travel to Goa to thank my teachers in person and will definitely continue my journey with them.

Difficult to unsubscribe

Be very careful when ordering an online subscription. The option to cancel is not clickable on the app, you will actually need to speak to their support staff online before they will allow it. To find the support address you must search the small print in the email confirming the account creation - it is not readily available. When you sign up it says you can manage your account from your dashboard but in fact you can only sign up and pay for things. When I asked how to fix it I was told this is working as intended.

I chose Himalaya Yoga Valley for my…200Hr Yoga Teacher Training

I chose Himalaya Yoga Valley for my yoga teacher training as from what I had read about their course and community, this society seemed just like the perfect one. And I was not wrong!
Throughout the entire course, all yoga instructors were amazingly helpful, all the lectures were clearly presented and extremely informative.
Being part of this community has helped me grow not only as a yoga teacher but also spiritually.
Cannot recommend Himalaya Yoga Valley enough for anyone who wishes to embark on this yoga journey!

Highly recommend this course.

Highly recommend this course.
All the teachers were so supportive and friendly. The detail they go into makes it so much easier to learn everything.
Module A was great because you got to attend the live classes it made it feel more personal getting to do this. Also don't worry if you can't make all of the live classes due to work etc as you can catch up on these.
The online platform is great and I also think the way they have done the assessments is very well done having a mix of written, video recordings and live zooms makes you feel ready to go out and teach once you have completed the course.
I really can not thank everyone at himalaya yoga valley enough, I really am so appreciative for everything you guys have thought me aswell as the experience. It was lovely to meet you all.
If your thinking of doing a yoga teacher training course this is defiantly the course to choose.

Best online yoga teacher training platform

I am so glad I made the decision to do my yoga teacher training with Himalaya Yoga Valley. The professionalism and organisation of the course is amazing from the get go.

They have created such a brilliant online platform without loosing the personal and traditional aspects of delivering a yoga teacher training. As a goal I am planning my 300 hour TT in Goa so it is also nice to have this follow up available in person when the time comes.

Highly recommend this fantastic group of people who care deeply about yoga and the yoga community.
