Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal, 300 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal

My Experience of YOGA TEACHER TRAINING in Nepal

Last year, I chose to do my 200 hour yoga teacher training certification in Nepal from Vedic Yoga Academy. located in the higher Himalayan hills of Pokhara. I chose to write this for you to explore the power of yoga and the reasons from the one who chose to do it without prior knowledge and went through a transformative journey.

If you search for yoga teacher training over google, you will get a lot of results from all over the world. So How do you choose? For me, the decision was based on two parameters:

1.Zeroing down basis the school: going after a well established brand of yoga school, deciding on the basis of a well-known program, xyz teacher is famous and is a yoga teacher in the very school, it

2.Zeroing down on the basis of location: You always wanted to explore a particular place and the school is within the area. Maybe you can’t travel far and need to find a school close to home. Or, maybe you want to travel far, so you pick a destination first, and then do research to find a credited school in the area.
For me it is the second one.

Why I did my Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal?

I am a hiker and love mountains. Once you are on a mountain, it gives you life perspective like no other. And Asia was on my list of destinations to explore. Speaking of life perspectives, I always wanted to do Yoga teacher training as heard that the experience is worth the time invested. So for locations, I chose to do my Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal.

Nepal has always been a spiritual hub with a strong presence of both Hinduism and Buddhism, and is the birthplace to Lord Buddha. If you roam the place, there are hindu temples and buddhist stupas everywhere. While I was there, I was learning and immersing in various religion with whom my last interaction was in school via textbooks only.

While doing my Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal I enjoyed best of both worlds : hustle and bustle of the city, and peace and calm in the hills. The city of Pokhara is vibrant, crowded, and dusty. And when you move a bit from the city, the surroundings were natural, calm and serene.

At Vedic Yoga Academy, I stayed for a month. The life pace here was slow and calm and the air was crisp. I chose the school when it came on my Google search and I’m going to post a full review of Vedic Yoga Academy in the future, but in a nutshell they truly did an amazing job at capturing the essence of Nepal in their course. My Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal was spiritually-focused, accommodating, and peaceful.
