Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior yoga experience to join the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Nepal?
No prior yoga experience is required. Our 200-hour program is specifically designed to welcome complete beginners. We begin with fundamental principles and build progressively. Our small batch size (maximum 12 students) ensures every beginner receives personal guidance and individual attention throughout.
How much does the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Nepal cost?
Tratak Yoga’s all-inclusive 200-hour yoga TTC in Pokhara starts from $1,200 USD for a shared room and $1,600 USD for a private room. This includes 22 nights’ accommodation, three Sattvic meals daily, all study materials, airport pickup, weekly excursions, and lifetime community support.
What is the difference between the 200-hour course in Nepal and Rishikesh?
The curriculum, faculty standards, batch size, and Yoga Alliance certification are identical at both locations. The primary difference is environment and setting — Pokhara offers Annapurna Himalayan views and Phewa Lakeside; Rishikesh offers the sacred Ganges riverside and the energy of India’s yoga capital. Both locations can be combined through our flexible semester structure.
What if I cannot complete 22 days in Nepal?
We offer a flexible semester structure. Complete Semester 1 (100 hours) now and return for Semester 2 within 36 months — at our Nepal or our Rishikesh, India campus. You receive the identical Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certification on completing both semesters. The flexibility is built in so life does not prevent certification.
Is Nepal safe for solo female travellers?
Yes. Pokhara is consistently rated as one of the safest cities in Nepal for solo travellers, including solo female students. Tratak Yoga’s campus has 24/7 CCTV security, a residential ashram setting, and a strongly supportive student community. Every month, many solo female students join our training programs from around the world.
Can I get a Nepal visa on arrival?
Yes. Most nationalities receive a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, including visitors from the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and most European countries. For the smoothest arrival experience, we recommend applying online in advance at https://online.nepalimmigration.gov.np/tourist-visa. Indian passport holders do not require a visa.
What is Sattvic food?
Sattvic food is a purely vegetarian diet that avoids onion, garlic, caffeine, and alcohol. It is traditionally considered the ideal food for yoga practitioners — light, nourishing, and supportive of mental clarity and physical energy. All three daily meals provided at Tratak Yoga are freshly prepared Sattvic vegetarian meals.
What is the age limit for the 200-hour yoga TTC in Nepal?
Our 200-hour program is open to students aged 18 to 75. We have successfully trained students across all age groups. Yoga is accessible at any age — if you have specific health concerns, please consult your doctor and inform us at registration so we can support you appropriately.
Will I receive practical teaching experience during the training?
Yes. Teaching practice is a core component of the 200-hour curriculum. From the early days of training you will begin practising teaching in front of your peers — starting with short 5-minute segments and building to full class sequences. You will learn how to demonstrate asanas correctly, give clear verbal alignment cues, manage class energy, and build genuine teaching confidence.
What is the best time to do yoga teacher training in Pokhara?
September through April is the most popular season for yoga training in Pokhara — the weather is pleasant, the Annapurna Range is clearly visible, and the lakeside environment is at its most beautiful. October and November in particular offer exceptional mountain visibility. We run training year-round with comfortable indoor facilities available during the warmer and monsoon months.
How do I travel to Tratak Yoga Academy from Canada (or other countries)?
Fly from your home country to Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu (most international carriers connect via Dubai, Doha, Singapore, or Delhi). From Kathmandu, take a 25-minute domestic flight to Pokhara Airport. We will meet you at Pokhara Airport with a complimentary pickup. Total travel time from Canada is typically 20–24 hours including layovers.
Can I join the 200-hour TTC for personal growth rather than to become a teacher?
Absolutely. Many students at Tratak Yoga join the 200-hour training for personal transformation — to reduce stress, heal from burnout, improve physical health, deepen meditation, or experience authentic yogic living. A professional certification is a welcome outcome but not the only valid reason to join.
We are one of the top most reputed yoga schools in Pokhara, Nepal and Rishikesh, India. The moto of our school is to spread Traditional and authentic yoga teacher training courses.
