Yin Yoga Therapy Teacher Training in Goa – 100 Hours

This 100-hour course turns a quiet Goa hilltop into a working yoga school. You study Yin Yoga therapy, practice mindfulness, and learn how to build sequences around the Daoist Elements, all while staying in an air-conditioned cottage near the beach. Alex leads the Yin training, and Jenny adds a morning Yang practice that gives your body a useful counterweight.

I like two things right away: the small maximum of 16 people, which gives the course a personal feel, and the fact that accommodation, meals, yoga equipment, and drinks are included. The jungle shala and sunset view over the beach also make this more than a classroom with fluorescent lights. The main consideration is the firm, non-refundable booking policy, so you will want to be sure the dates work before paying.

Key points to know before booking

• 100 hours in about 13 days: This is a serious, concentrated teacher-training course, not a casual yoga holiday.
• Alex and Jenny lead different parts: Alex teaches the Yin Yoga work, while Jenny teaches the balancing morning Yang class.
• Therapy is the central subject: You study body, mind, energy, mindfulness, and ways to apply Yin Yoga therapeutically.
• Daoist Elements guide the sequencing: The course looks at the energetic value of sequences and the setting in which practice takes place.
• Accommodation and meals are included: You receive an AC cottage, all meals, and coffee or tea, with mats, belts, and blocks supplied.
• The setting does real work: A shaded jungle shala, hilltop lounge, pool, and view toward one of Goa’s beautiful beaches shape the experience.

What 100 hours of Yin Yoga training really means

The headline is simple: 100 hours of Yin Yoga Therapy teacher training over roughly two weeks. The experience itself is more demanding than a standard retreat because your days are built around learning, practice, and reflection rather than sightseeing.

You are not only holding poses. The course looks at how Yin Yoga can support health, strength, mindfulness, and a better relationship with the body. You learn the therapeutic side of practice and how to create sequences with a purpose.

That distinction matters. A short Yin workshop may show you a handful of poses and explain why you hold them for longer periods. This course aims to help you teach, so you spend time considering how practice affects different people and how to shape a class around a particular intention.

The program also examines the subtle art of creating the right conditions for change. That includes the physical sequence, but also the atmosphere, the energetic quality of the class, and the connection between body, mind, and spirit. If you want a certificate-like shortcut with little study, this is probably not the right format. If you want a concentrated foundation in Yin Yoga therapy, the schedule has substance.

The available information does not provide a day-by-day timetable, so I would not pretend you know exactly what happens on Day 4 or Day 9. You can expect a planned progression through Yin theory, personal practice, therapeutic application, sequencing, mindfulness, and teaching work. The two-week format gives you enough time to revisit ideas instead of hearing them once and moving on.

Alex, Jenny, and the teaching style

Alex is the main figure in the Yin Yoga work. She is described as an experienced master teacher, and the course places her at the center of the therapeutic training. Her teaching covers Yin Yoga from several angles, including its connection with Daoist Elements and its use as therapy.

That broad approach is useful if you want more than physical instruction. The course connects the body to emotional and mental patterns, then links those ideas with an ancient wisdom tradition. You may find that some parts feel practical and anatomical while others feel more reflective or energetic.

Jenny teaches the balancing morning Yang Yoga class. This is an important detail. Yin practice asks you to slow down and stay with sensation for longer periods, while a morning Yang class can bring movement and heat into the day. Having both styles in the same course gives you a fuller view of how a yoga program can be shaped.

The extra workshops add variety. The program includes sessions related to acupuncture, sound healing, Human Design, and adjustments or massage techniques. These subjects may not all appeal equally to every student, but they widen the conversation around healing and teaching.

I would treat those workshops as supporting material rather than the main reason to book. The core value remains the Yin Yoga therapy training. Still, the added subjects may help you think about the class environment, touch, sound, energy, and the individual needs of students.

A course setting built for quiet concentration

The training takes place at a peaceful hilltop site in the jungle around Morjim-Ashvem. The location gives you a sense of separation from ordinary routines without cutting you off from town. You can walk around the local area and reach the beach, according to the supplied details.

The main practice room is a jungle shala shaded by surrounding trees. That is a better setting for slow Yin work than a sealed studio with no connection to the outdoors. Natural shade, quiet, and open air can help you settle into longer holds and focused breathing.

A hilltop lounge looks out toward one of Goa’s beaches. The view is especially important at sunset, when the sun appears to meet the sea. It is the sort of daily ritual that makes a two-week course feel like a stay in Goa rather than a training held anywhere in the world.

You also get access to a pool. The pool is not presented as a separate activity program, so do not book this expecting a resort schedule. Think of it as a useful place to cool down, rest between sessions, and give your body a break.

The setting has one possible tradeoff. A hilltop jungle location can feel wonderfully quiet, but it is not the same as being in the center of town. The information says you can walk to town and the beach, yet you should still expect the property itself to feel removed and calm. That is a benefit for study, though some people may want more nightlife and independent activity.

Accommodation, food, and the practical value of the package

The price is $1,272.20 per person for about 13 days. At first glance, that is a substantial payment. You need to compare it with what is included: accommodation, all meals, coffee or tea, yoga mats, belts, blocks, and the full 100-hour course.

The AC cottage is especially useful in Goa. Air conditioning is not a decorative extra when you are practicing and studying for much of the day. A cool place to sleep and recover can make a real difference during a packed training period.

Included meals also simplify the experience. You do not have to leave the site searching for food between classes, and you can keep your attention on the course. Coffee and tea are included as well, which will matter to anyone who likes a morning drink before practice.

The supplied information does not describe the menu, dietary arrangements, or meal times. Ask about those before booking if you have allergies or specific food requirements. The fact that food is included is valuable, but it does not tell you exactly what will be served.

The equipment package is another small saving. You receive a mat, belt, and blocks, so you do not need to fill your luggage with bulky yoga gear. You may still prefer to bring a personal mat or other favorite items, but the basic equipment is provided.

The best value comes if you use the whole program. You are paying for an intensive teacher training plus nearly two weeks of accommodation and meals in Goa. If you attend only for a relaxing beach break, the course may feel too structured. If you want to study and practice seriously, the combined price is easier to justify.

How the days are likely to feel

The schedule is not published in a detailed daily format, but the course structure gives you a clear sense of its rhythm. A morning Yang class with Jenny provides a more active start. You then spend the wider training period working through Yin Yoga therapy, mindfulness, sequencing, and teaching concepts with Alex.

Yin practice is slower by design. You may spend longer periods in postures, paying attention to sensation rather than chasing a perfect shape. That approach asks for patience, and a two-week course gives you time to notice how your own body and mind respond.

The teaching work adds another layer. You are not only receiving the practice. You are learning how to guide another person through it. That means looking at intention, order, timing, the energetic value of a sequence, and the conditions needed for a transformational experience.

The Daoist Elements are a key organizing idea. The course uses them to help shape sequences and understand their energetic value. You do not need to reduce this part of the course to a simple list of poses. Its purpose is to help you see how a class can have direction and internal logic.

The workshops on acupuncture, sound healing, Human Design, and massage techniques break up the main subjects. They also show the course’s broader view of everyday health issues. Some students will find this wide range inspiring. Others may prefer a training that stays closer to anatomy and teaching mechanics.

That difference is worth considering before you book. The course takes a holistic view of Yin Yoga, combining physical, mental, therapeutic, energetic, and spiritual themes. If you want only sports-based instruction, parts of the program may feel less familiar.

Goa as part of the training

Goa is not just a backdrop here. The beach, warm weather, jungle shade, and relaxed pace help shape the course. You can walk to the beach and return to a quiet hilltop setting, giving the program a useful balance between retreat and local life.

The location also suits a first visit to Asia if you want a supported introduction. One person found the paperwork involved in getting there difficult but felt safe throughout the stay. That is useful practical context: international travel to India may require preparation, yet the training environment itself is intended to feel comfortable and contained.

Pickup is offered, and the stated meeting point is Dabolim Airport in India. Confirm the pickup details and timing before arrival, since the available information does not specify the exact transfer process. The airport meeting point is helpful, especially if you are arriving in India for the first time.

You should not expect the course to turn into a sightseeing tour of Goa. Its focus is training. The reward is that you can enjoy the beach and local area around the edges of the schedule, then return to a place designed for quiet practice.

Who will get the most from this experience

This course suits you if you already have a sincere interest in Yin Yoga and want to teach it. The 100-hour format offers enough time to build a foundation rather than simply collecting a one-day workshop certificate.

It also suits people who like learning through several lenses. You will encounter therapy, mindfulness, Daoist Elements, sound healing, acupuncture, Human Design, and massage techniques. You need to be comfortable with a broad style of yoga education.

The course may appeal to you if you want a retreat setting but do not want to sacrifice study. The cottages, pool, shaded shala, included meals, and beach access give you comfort. The training keeps the trip focused.

It may not suit you if you want a loose holiday with plenty of free time. The course covers 100 hours in about 13 days, which is a concentrated pace. You should expect to devote much of your attention to yoga.

The maximum group size of 16 is a strong point for anyone who values personal contact. It is small enough to avoid the feel of a large convention, while still giving you a group with whom to practice and learn. The program also allows service animals, and most people can participate according to the stated conditions.

Booking cautions and final value

The experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. If you cancel or request an amendment, you will not receive your payment back. That is the biggest financial risk, so check your travel plans, health, leave from work, and passport or entry paperwork before booking.

The course also requires a minimum number of participants. If the provider cancels because that minimum is not reached, you are offered another date or experience, or a full refund. This does not remove the need for careful planning, but it does protect you from that particular cancellation risk.

The reviews supplied give the training a perfect overall rating from four ratings, with especially strong praise for the teachers, setting, morning Yang class, and the range of workshops. The most consistent strengths are clear: Alex’s Yin instruction, Jenny’s Yang class, the peaceful hilltop site, and the feeling of safety and recovery during the stay.

I would give the setting equal weight with the syllabus. A quiet jungle shala and a sunset view over the sea can help you stay present during a demanding course. They cannot replace good teaching, but here they support the kind of calm attention that Yin practice asks for.

Should you book this Yin Yoga course?

Book it if you want a serious, concentrated start in Yin Yoga therapy and like the idea of learning in a small group near the beach. The $1,272.20 price makes more sense because it includes 13 days of accommodation, meals, drinks, equipment, and 100 hours of instruction.

Think twice if you want a flexible holiday, a detailed anatomy-only program, or the option to change dates later. The pace is focused, the booking is non-refundable, and the course includes energetic and spiritual subjects alongside therapy and teaching.

For the right student, this is a practical study retreat with a memorable sense of place. You leave with more than time on a yoga mat: you work on how to teach, how to build sequences, and how to create a setting where another person can slow down and pay attention.
