§ AN AUTHENTIC YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN KERALA

Where traditional yoga still lives —
and where the next generation learns to teach it.

Our Yoga Alliance certified 200 & 300 hour yoga teacher training programs are held in Kerala, India — the birthplace of Ayurveda and one of the few places where yoga is still passed on as a daily practice, not a trend.

§ WHAT SETS THIS TRAINING APART

A yoga teacher training
built on depth.

Four reasons our 200hr and 300hr YTT programs in Kerala stand apart from
Bali wellness retreats, Rishikesh ashrams, and Goa beach trainings.

01

Philosophy first.Posture follows.

We begin with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the eight limbs of yoga — before the how of asana. Most 200hr trainings give philosophy a weekend. We give it the whole 24 days.

TRADITIONAL YOGA · LINEAGE-BASED
02

An intimate cohort.Sixteen students. Always.

We cap every yoga teacher training in Kerala at sixteen students. Real mentorship requires it. Every student is seen, heard, and known by name. No one disappears into the back row.

SMALL GROUP YTT · MENTORSHIP-DRIVEN
03

A decade of teaching.Lived experience, not theory.

This Yoga Alliance certified training is taught by practitioners with over ten years of daily teaching experience. We've walked through our own questions and doubts — and we'll walk with you through yours.

RYT 500 · EXPERIENCED FACULTY
04

Kerala lineage.Where Ayurveda was born.

Kerala is where yoga and Ayurveda were systematized centuries ago. Our Ayurveda yoga teacher training integrates daily Sanskrit chanting, doshic assessment, traditional rituals, and authentic Kerala meals.

Founder of Yogic Path — lead teacher RYT 500

FOUNDER · LEAD TEACHER · RYT 500

A decade of yoga teaching.
A lifetime of practice.

I created Yogic Path because I noticed something missing in modern yoga teacher trainings. So many programs rush through the curriculum, leaving students with a certificate but without the depth to actually teach.

My intention is to share yoga the way I received it: slowly, honestly, and rooted in the tradition of Kerala.

My intention is to share yoga the way I received it: slowly, honestly, and rooted in the tradition of Kerala. Every Yoga Alliance certified 200hr and 300hr training I lead is built around the question: what does it actually mean to teach yoga?

§ STUDENT VOICES

From students of our 200 & 300 hour
yoga teacher training in Kerala.

“

I came expecting to learn how to teach. I left understanding what yoga actually is.

SOPHIA M. UNITED STATES
“

I've done two other yoga teacher trainings. Nothing came close to the depth and lineage I found in Kerala.

JAMES K. UNITED KINGDOM
“

Honestly the philosophy classes alone were worth the entire 200 hour. I finally understand the Sutras I've been reading for years.

PRIYA R. AUSTRALIA
“

The community I left with was worth as much as the certification.

MARTA O. SPAIN
“

Kerala. The food. The teachers. The fire ceremonies. This was the real thing.

your questions, answered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need yoga experience to join the 200 hour YTT in Kerala?

No prior teaching experience is required, but we recommend at least 1–2 years of regular personal practice. You should be comfortable with basic asanas and have a genuine interest in yoga philosophy, not just the physical practice.

What is the difference between RYT 200, RYT 300, and RYT 500?

RYT 200 is the entry-level Yoga Alliance certification requiring 200 hours of training. RYT 300 requires an additional 300 hours on top of your 200. RYT 500 is achieved by completing both 200 and 300 hour trainings (500 hours total) with a Yoga Alliance registered school.

Is your yoga teacher training Yoga Alliance certified?

Yes. Yogic Path is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance for both 200-hour and 300-hour programs. Upon successful completion, you can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200 or RYT 300.

How is Kerala different from Rishikesh or Goa for yoga teacher training?

Kerala is the birthplace of Ayurveda and holds one of the oldest living yoga lineages in India. Unlike the commercialized yoga scenes of Rishikesh or Goa, Kerala offers a quieter, deeper immersion into traditional South Indian yoga, with direct access to Ayurvedic medicine, temple culture, and ancient texts.

What's included in the 200 hour YTT tuition?

Tuition includes all training sessions, accommodation in private en-suite heritage cottages, three Ayurvedic meals daily, course materials, laundry, airport transfers, and Yoga Alliance registration fee. International flights are not included.

How do I get to Kerala? Which airport?

Fly into Trivandrum International Airport (TRV / VOTV). Our center is approximately 40 minutes away. We arrange airport pickup for all students. Most major airlines connect through Dubai, Singapore, or Mumbai.

Is there a payment plan or scholarship available?

Yes. We offer installment payment plans and a limited number of partial scholarships for practitioners from low-income backgrounds or from countries with currency disadvantage. Please mention this in your application.
