Short Term Yoga Classes

[Jiggy]

Are there any good places for travelers to take yoga classes? I'm thinking our trip will be only a couple of weeks, so if anyone could recommend a place that would welcome us for just a few classes, that would be great.

Welcome to the forum!

Here's a few yoga centres that offer short-term yoga courses:

• Satsanga Retreat Centre Goa. The shortest course consists of 26 days with up to 8 to 9 hours of work per day. The total hours you would complete comes to about 300.

• Brahmani Yoga Goa. This one is a 6-week immersive course with about 300 hours to complete. The mani focus of this type of course is the Vinyasa Flow Yoga.

• Himalayan Yoga Tradition. Offers several options but the shortest course is at 200 hours. You can even get a certification after the program.

• Jeevmoksha Yoga Alliance Teacher Training School. Teaches asana and pranayama. The shortest course consists of about 200 hours as well.

I hope this helps!

Government of India also changed the rules for tourist visas which now allow short term yoga courses on a tourist visa as well, earlier you had to apply for a different class of visa which made things complicated.
