300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Goa 2027 – An Advanced Path to RYT 500
Our 300 hour yoga teacher training Goa course is a 28-day residential programme at The Lotus Sutra, a beachfront venue on Arambol Beach in North Goa. It’s built for teachers who have completed a 200-hour training and are ready to teach with more depth, skill and confidence. You train in a group of no more than 10, with direct guidance from our founder, Yogini Manisha (E-RYT 500), and your 300 hours complete the 500 you need to register as an RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance.
Batches start on the 5th of every month from December 2026 to May 2027, from €2,200 including your room and three sattvic vegetarian meals a day — the most affordable of our three 300-hour locations.

Who the 300-hour training is for
This is an advanced course. A 200-hour certificate and an established personal practice are recommended, and most students arrive with some teaching experience.
- 200-hour graduates who want to continue toward RYT 500 through advanced study, practice and teaching development.
- Working yoga teachers who want to refine their sequencing, adjustments, cueing, observation and teaching presence.
- Teachers returning to study who want dedicated time away from their own classes to practise, study and receive feedback.
- Dedicated experienced practitioners who want advanced asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy and anatomy, whether or not they plan to teach.
- Wellness and movement professionals with a yoga background who want to add advanced yoga study to their skills.
- Practitioners seeking personal development who are ready for an immersive month of discipline, self-study and awareness.
200-hour vs 300-hour: what changes
The 200-hour course teaches you how to lead a safe, well-structured class. The 300-hour course teaches you how to teach — to see what each student needs and respond with skill. Here’s how the two compare at Diksha in Goa
| 200-hour training | 300-hour training | |
| Level | Beginner and intermediate | Advanced |
| Length | 23 days / 22 nights | 28 days / 27 nights |
| Focus | Foundations of practice and teaching | Refining your practice and your teaching |
| Asana | Learning traditional postures and alignment | Advanced asana and safe progression toward challenging postures |
| Sequencing | Building balanced classes | Progressive sequencing, peak-pose preparation and themes |
| Adjustments | Introduction to alignment | Hands-on adjustments practised with fellow teachers |
| Teaching | First classes with peers | Full classes for different levels, with feedback on your own style |
| Credential | RYT 200 eligibility | Counts toward RYT 500 with your 200-hour certificate |
| Fee in Goa | From €1,800 | From €2,200 |

Why choose a 300 hour YTT Goa
There’s something special about taking your practice further in India, where yoga began. A 300 hour YTT Goa course also lands in one of the best climates for training: November to February brings dry, sunny days and cooler evenings, the most popular season in Goa. March to May is hot and humid, so practice moves to the cooler parts of the day. We don’t run residential trainings during the June–September monsoon.
- A quiet corner of Goa: Arambol sits at the calm northern end of the coast, known for its long beach, cliff-top sunsets and relaxed village life — away from the party towns further south.
- Practise steps from the sea: the open shala at The Lotus Sutra is surrounded by greenery, with cafés and village shops close by.
- Sundays out: group excursions to Sweet Lake (Kalacha) and Terekhol Fort are included on two Sundays, and Mandrem, Morjim and Chapora Fort are easy trips by taxi or scooter.
- Easy to reach: Mopa Airport (GOX) is about 45–60 minutes away, and pickup is included from Mopa or Dabolim. See how to reach Arambol from Goa airport.
Why train with Diksha Yoga School
- Train with the founder: in Goa, you receive direct guidance from Yogini Manisha (E-RYT 500, YACEP) alongside our teaching team. She has taught for more than 16 years, guided over 23,000 students from 80+ countries, and completed three 200-hour and two 300-hour trainings herself at Aarsha Yoga Vidya Peetham in Kerala.
- Registered at both levels: Diksha Yoga School is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School, RYS 200 and RYS 300.
- Never more than 10 students: your teachers know your practice and your teaching, and give you direct, individual feedback.
- Teach every skill, don’t just study it: you plan and lead full classes, build progressive sequences, refine your cueing and practise hands-on adjustments, with feedback throughout.
- Our home base: The Lotus Sutra in Arambol is Diksha Yoga School’s main branch.

How to prepare for your 300-hour training
A 300-hour course is a step up in intensity: two practices a day, six days a week, for four weeks. A little preparation makes it far more rewarding.
- Keep up a daily practice for at least a month before you arrive, including some Ashtanga or Vinyasa, so the 6:30 AM starts feel natural. Our 6-week preparation plan sets this out week by week.
- Review your 200-hour notes, especially anatomy and the Yoga Sutras, so you can go straight into advanced material.
- Note your teaching questions. Bring the challenges from your own classes — they make the theory sessions far more useful.
- Sort your visa early. Most visitors need an Indian e-Visa; apply through the official Indian e-Visa website well before you fly.
- Pack light and practical: breathable yoga clothes, modest clothing for the village, sunscreen and insect repellent. See what to pack for yoga teacher training in Goa.
From RYT 200 to RYT 500
When you complete the course and its assessment, you receive a 300-hour certificate from a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 300). Combined with your 200-hour certificate, it completes the 500 hours you need to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 500.
