An excellent and enjoyable course.

I thoroughly enjoyed the February online teacher training course with Himalayan Yoga Valley. The course more than met my expectations.
I gained great understanding of the benefits of breathing techniques and meditation and enjoyed participating in early morning classes. I gained a good understanding of the benefits of the asanas and the importance of implementing correctly. Asanas were clearly deconstructed and explained and sequences excellent. The Anatomy, Ayurveda and Philosophy teachers were helpful and easy to listen to and I realised how each area is an integral part of the whole yoga. In particular I enjoyed Ayurveda of which I had no previous experience. I
All the teachers were enthusiastic and helpful.
I would definitely recommend this course to others.

It was a great surprise, my dream came true!

What a great surprise when I saw on Instagram that the Himalaya Valley school was offering an online course during the pandemic, I was looking for an opportunity to study yoga long time ago and didn’t think twice to dive in that course. I can’t believe I did it and got so much love and knowledge from the teachers that I’ll take with me for life and hope to help others as they helped me. Thanks!

What a beautiful experience I had on…

What a beautiful experience I had on this course, even though it was online I feel I got as much of the experience from the teachers as I would of in India.
I made a beautiful friend from it and we practice together still.
My favourite part was mediation with Maeve each day and miss this.
I can’t recommend this course enough.

I have waited for years, putting my dreams aside and thanks to you I have now the strong foundations to keep on learning and be the best teacher I can be.

I will definitely come back to Himalaya Yoga Valley for the 300h YTT.

Beginner at Himalaya Yoga Valley

I am completely new to yoga and am enjoying the classes at Himalaya Yoga Valley immensely. The teachers/guides are very skilled, gentle and generous in spirit and will. The experience is a wonderful journey into yoga and I am delighted that a friend recommended this centre. I have a long way to go in learning all the yoga poses!! But it doesn’t matter because I don’t feel hurried and the entire experience is of complete welcome and to go at your own pace and what you feel capable of doing at that point in time. As someone who suffers from daily chronic headaches because of a medical incident, I can get quite muddled in my thought processing at times. So if my head is particularly having a bad day and I can’t follow all the poses or instructions, there is no need to worry because there is always an option to take time out within the class. Or if my limbs aren’t doing what they should be, I don’t feel like a judgement is being made! Hopefully this is making some sort of sense!! My thanks to all the guides for sharing their knowledge in a safe, inclusive and uplifting space🌾🐘

Is not about taking a simple course…

Is not about taking a simple course online, is about emerging yourself in the greatest family called Himalaya Yoga Valley! Maeve shows us the way to silence the monkey mind by teaching us how to practice Pranayama and Meditation. At the same time, Lalit guides us in the Asanas and teach us to respect the need of our body. Adam gives us tips and tricks about the Vagus Nerve, opening the way to understanding better the deep connection between practicing Yoga and Anatomy. Viriam, deeply emerging in Philosophy, recommend for those, as I was, when Philosophy is hard to digest. And of course, Dr. Rohit that open the world of Ayurveda. Big appreciation for Tony that made for us the Asana Deconstructions on which we have access every second we need to improve the practice. For me, the "200 Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training" with Himalaya Yoga Valle was the perfect start in the new world. I received good vibes, full support for any question regarding yoga, a lot of suggestions and sources from where you can keep yourself updated, very important advice on how to promote yourself on the web and what tools you can use for that, all these thanks to the Hands Up Session by Eveanna. A big thank you to all the members of the Himalaya Yoga Valley family that had contributed to our education.

I can't believe I am writing a review as a recent graduate of Himalaya Yoga Valley/online Yoga Teacher training. I am thrilled to bits. I signed up for the 8th February and it has been a wonderful experience from the start. We all spoke about how well the course content was delivered and both the layout and structure made it very easy to follow. A great sense of achievement as you complete each section. The whole team are so knowledgeable and encouraging. I would highly recommend this course.

Himalaya Yoga Valley surpassed expectations!

The quality of the Himalaya Yoga Valley Teacher Training absolutely surpassed my expectations. I remembered during the first few days of starting the course feeling so grateful for deciding on Himalaya Yoga Valley. I’m actually struggling to know where to start to begin telling you how wonderful it was! Really for me, the teachers made it. From the start; we were made feel with a huge amount of sincerity that we were now part of the Himalayan tradition & the Himalaya Yoga Valley family, for me this wasn’t just talk, the passion poured out of every single teacher all bringing a wealth of knowledge & their own wonderful styles of teaching. The culture within is one of dedication, positivity and compassion; there is a softness encouraged in terms of taking time to learn & listening to your body. From a practical point of view; the online portal blew me away, it’s so intellectually put together & packed with resources with both live lectures & recordings, a big plus is being able to go back and re-watch everything. I have to say I found the entire experience only beautiful. I feel I have really gifted myself by attending this course and now practice every day via the Himalaya Yoga Valley app where I continue my learning & yogic journey with these amazing teachers. Namaste 🙏

Fantastic online 200h yoga teacher training!

This 200h yoga teacher training highly overtopped my expectations for an online teacher training. The teaching team is very professional, the course structured and well organized. Despite never meeting anyone in person, one feels well supported by the teachers as well as by the whole group of participants. I am glad I decided for this course, despite many doubts towards an online teacher training - it was a great experience. I would fully recommend Himalaya Yoga Valley Online Center, hoping to be able to meet the team in Goa in person one fine day. Namaste, Denise

Great course

Great course. Amazing teachers with a wealth of knowledge. When I started the course it was really for my own growth but I learned so much. By the end of my 200hr teacher training I really felt confident in my ability to teach. I would recommend this course to anyone starting out on their journey to becoming a teacher.

Superlative

There was nothing that they did not do well. From start to finish, it was professional, on time, comprehensive, friendly and enjoyable. Their software and set up is really impressive, with online help which I found very very useful ( i am not well versed in software and hardware requirements etc, and I think these were minimal but they made it very easy for a technophobe). The materials are brilliantly set out. All staff very friendly and willing to engage and answer questions and deal with anything that arose. Simply cant recommend highly enough, if you are thinking of taking an on line YTT course, I find it hard to believe that there is a more comprehensive, professional, true to the spirit of Yoga and friendly online course to be found anywhere else.

Absolutely recommended!

I had wanted to complete my Yoga Teacher Training Course with Himalaya Yoga Valley for a couple of years before I finally decided to enroll and take it, and consequently I had built up a lot of expectations despite being aware of the reputation of the school. I am happy to say that the training not only lived up to them but also surpassed them greatly and I am honored to be part of the HYV family. The syllabus covers everything there is to know for a trainee in a variety of topics, from the most obvious such as asana, meditation and anatomy to others like ayurveda, philosophy and a few extra standalone lectures, and the students are guided through it smoothly and thoughtfully. The teachers and all the staff are not only beautiful people but an incredibly professional team as well, they are always available and they really make sure that the student has the best learning experience possible. The lessons are very clear and always include interactiveness and a sense of humor, and the effort put into the program is reflected on the high quality and the amazing level of detail of all the content provided. I feel confident of my knowledge and I have gained a much deeper understanding of myself and the world around me after finishing my training. I feel ready and I am very excited to take my next steps in this yoga journey and I definitely recommend the HYV YTTC to anyone that wants to build up a solid foundation from the ground up and have the support of an incredible team along the way. Namaste!

Outstanding Teaching and Very Supportive

Primarily, I had chosen to study with Himalaya Yoga Valley because I was drawn to the course outline which doesn't only cover Asana and Anatomy but also Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation and especially Ayurveda, the sister of yoga. The team of teachers and facilitators at Himalaya Yoga Valley have been very supportive. The course was well-designed and excellent structure. I've practised the 8 limbs of yoga before I entered the course and I still felt there was so much to learned especially from experienced teachers at Himalaya. I have a full time job and was struggled to practise daily but the support and understanding from the teachers I was given allowed me to complete the course at my own pace. My intention before I started was to practise asana more safely at home and to understand basic anatomy. However, after I finished, I've become more confidence and am inspired to follow the value of making yoga available for all. I felt especially grateful to Mauve, Tony and Eveanna who were always there when I needed most. Namaste.

The 200 hour Online Yoga Course with the Himalayan valley is a very well put together course with authentic teachers. The course materials provide an excellent foundation for students at any level to progress their yoga journey.
