I recently completed a 500 hr yoga training in Goa, India, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The training was not just about asanas; it was a complete journey of the mind, body, and spirit. Preksha guided us through philosophy and ashtanga with such clarity and depth. Rajesh brought an incredible energy to pranayama; he demonstrated a strong understanding of traditional pranayama techniques, effectively combining theory with guided practice.

Where should I begin? We all undergo extraordinary transformations after completing the 500 hour TTC at AYM. I came to India and wanted to spend a month in Goa and head to China while learning something new. Teachers here are all exceptional individuals. They are not only knowledgeable but also caring toward every student. If you’re looking for the best 500 hour yoga TTC course in Goa, I highly recommend AYM Yoga School.
