Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal — 200 & 300 Hour (RYS)

One school, five homes

Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal — Himalayan Stillness

Train as a yoga teacher beside Begnas Lake, Pokhara — Himalayan peaks on the horizon, lakeside quiet and one of the most peaceful corners of the subcontinent. Pure Soul Yoga School brings the same Yoga Alliance-registered training that runs at our Rishikesh home to the mountains of Nepal.

Batches begin on the 1st of every month, all year round, and every training is fully residential — accommodation, three sattvic meals daily, materials and certification included. More than 5,000 students from 50+ nationalities have trained with our school since 2019. Comparing settings? See the same trainings in India or Bali.

Why here

Why Train in Nepal?

Himalayan quiet, properly — Begnas Lake is the still, uncrowded side of Pokhara; mountain air and silence do half the teaching.
The easiest visa in the region — visa on arrival for most nationalities at Kathmandu and other entry points.
Our most affordable 200-hour — from $1,300 early-bird (shared room), with the identical syllabus and certification.
Adventure on your day off — Pokhara's lakes, viewpoints and mountain trails are all nearby; October-November and March-April bring the clearest Himalayan views.
The same school standards — identical syllabus, Yoga Alliance registration and certification as our Rishikesh home; only the setting changes.

We are humbled by them
