An 11-day, 100-hour course on the shores of Phewa Lake — for your own practice, or as the first module toward a 200-hour certification.
Pokhara Yoga Academy runs this 100-hour training at its Pokhara campus, in the foothills of the Annapurna Himalayas. The course covers asana, pranayama, yoga philosophy, basic anatomy, meditation, and teaching methodology across a structured 11-day schedule. It’s open to all levels, including complete beginners.
Pokhara Yoga Academy’s 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training is an 11-day residential course held at its Pokhara campus in Nepal. Students train in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, basic anatomy, and teaching methodology, with accommodation and three daily meals included. The course suits beginners, practitioners deepening their practice, and students planning to continue toward a 200-hour certification.
Classes run daily from early morning to evening, following a fixed structure of asana, breathwork, philosophy, and self-study (full schedule below). The training runs twice monthly at fixed dates, with private, twin-sharing, and triple-sharing accommodation options.
Dates | Days | Private Room | Twin Sharing | Triple Sharing | ACCOMMODATION | MEALS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Every Month: 7 to 17 | 11 | 900 USD | 800 USD | 600 USD | Included | 3x Day |
Every Month: 15 to 25 | 11 | 900 USD | 800 USD | 600 USD | Included | 3x Day |
Prices and dates shown are as currently listed on this page. Please reconfirm current pricing and availability at the time of booking.
The Pokhara campus sits near Phewa Lake, with the Annapurna range visible on clear days. Training here means fewer of the distractions of a home routine and more time given fully to practice, study, and rest.
The course pairs daily asana practice with philosophy, lifestyle study, and the fundamentals of teaching — rather than asana alone.
At 11 days, this course is a shorter commitment than the 200-hour program, useful if you want an immersive yoga experience without a longer stay.
Hours from this course can carry forward if you later join the 200-hour Yoga Alliance program — see the certification section below for exactly how that works.
The curriculum is organized around eight core areas, taught through a mix of daily practice, lecture, and guided self-study.
Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, and Vinyasa Flow, with attention to sequencing, alignment, posture adjustments, and safety principles.
Foundational pranayama techniques and breath-awareness practice, including both energizing and calming breath patterns.
An introduction to yogic concepts, the history of yoga, and the ethical principles behind a yogic lifestyle.
Basic anatomy as it relates to asana practice, alongside dedicated sessions on injury awareness and safe adjustment technique.
Daily guided meditation, plus practices aimed at stress reduction and inner awareness.
An introduction to how to structure a class, cue safely, and begin building the skills used to teach yoga to others.
Hands-on adjustment practice, taught alongside the safety principles above.
Mantra practice and shat kriya (traditional cleansing techniques) are included as part of the daily rotation.
Each day runs from 5:30am to 10pm on a fixed structure: morning tea, Ashtanga practice, pranayama and shat kriya, breakfast, philosophy and self-study, mantra yoga, lunch, rest, safety/adjustment work, Hatha yoga, meditation, dinner, and evening self-study before lights out.

Pokhara sits in the western-central foothills of the Himalayas, on the banks of Phewa Lake, roughly 15 minutes from the city center. It’s known locally as the “City of Lakes” and is a common gateway for travelers heading into the Annapurna region. The campus overlooks the lake, with views of the Annapurna Himalayan range and the Tal Barahi Temple on the water, and Lakeside — Pokhara’s main travelers’ district — nearby.
Training here means daily practice against a Himalayan backdrop, away from city noise, with the lake, forest, and hills as a consistent backdrop for the 11-day course.
