Hatha and Ashtanga yoga teacher training at Sambodhi Yoga Home

The gradual move from personal practice to one-to-one teaching and larger classes gives the training a clear learning thread. Meditation and philosophy sit beside posture study, while the valley setting brings a different kind of attention through hiking.

Let daily practice and the art of teaching grow alongside each other in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley. At Sambodhi Yoga Home, this 200-hour residential training brings Hatha and Ashtanga yoga into conversation with pranayama, meditation, mantra and yoga philosophy. A 24-day stay gives you time to explore the practices yourself before guiding others.

Vijay Sapkota and Sajani Shakhakarmi are the named teachers. Mornings centre on Hatha yoga, breathing practices and meditation; later sessions explore alignment, anatomy, philosophy and teaching methods, with Ashtanga practice and time to develop your own lessons. The syllabus ranges from quiet breath awareness and singing-bowl meditation to dynamic meditation, mudras and bandhas, traditional yogic gestures and muscular locks. It also lists nasal cleansing and Vaman Dhauti, a stomach-cleansing practice; discuss participation and suitability with the school. Hiking in Shivapuri National Park is part of the experience, including a source-described 7–8-hour route to Shivapuri Peak. The approximate daily timetable can change.
