You Train & Learn by Living it.
Yoga teacher training here is residential, you stay on the ashram grounds in Ghachowk village, eat three vegetarian meals from the farm, and sleep in a shared or private room.
Days are full and structured, study and teaching practice through the day, and mantra and meditation in the evening. You are not fitting a course around a holiday. For two to four weeks, the training is the day.
By the end of a course here, you can plan and sequence a class, cue it clearly, and give hands-on adjustments. You will know the reasoning behind the practice, its anatomy, breath, and philosophy, well enough to answer a student's question and not only demonstrate a pose.
On the 200 and 300 hour courses you also finish with a Yoga Alliance registered certificate that lets you register as an RYT and teach internationally.
That comes from practising teaching, not watching it. The course is residential and full time for three to four weeks, so you teach real sessions, get observed, and fix things while a teacher is standing next to you. You leave having already taught a class, which is the difference between holding a certificate and being ready to use it.

Where to Start
Three courses, one teaching method. New to teaching, start at 100 or 200 hour. Already a 200 hour teacher, the 300 hour is your next step.
Why train here
What sets Bodhidham apart.
A handful of things you will not find at most schools — small cohorts, lifelong access, and the ashram that becomes a second home.
Lineage, not franchise.
Swami Ananda trained in the Himalayan tradition. The teachings come from a line of teachers, not a corporate manual.
Small cohorts, real attention.
Maximum 14 students per cohort. Every asana correction is hands-on.
Philosophy-first, asana-deep.
Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The frameworks first, the postures second.

Questions, answered
Before you book
Which course should I choose, the 100, 200, or 300 hour?+
The 200 hour is the standard route into teaching and the right starting point for most people. It is a full Yoga Alliance teacher training and qualifies you to register as an RYT 200. The 100 hour is a shorter 11 day foundation, suitable if you want something deeper than a retreat but are not ready for the full 200 hours; on its own it does not make you a registered teacher. The 300 hour is an advanced course for people who already hold a 200 hour certificate. If you are unsure, message us with your background and we will tell you which fits.
Do I need teaching experience or an advanced practice to enroll?+
For the 100 and 200 hour courses you need neither. A regular personal practice and a genuine interest in learning to teach are enough, and the course is built to take you from practitioner to teacher. The 300 hour course is different: it requires a completed 200 hour certificate, because it builds directly on that foundation.
Is the certificate recognised, and can I teach with it afterwards?+
Bodhidham is a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance at both the 200 and 300 hour levels. After the 200 hour course you can register as an RYT 200, and the 300 hour course, taken after a 200 hour, counts toward RYT 500 registration. That registration is recognised internationally by studios and employers. The 100 hour course is a foundation course and does not lead to RYT registration on its own.
What does the price include?+
The price covers teacher training, your accommodation on the ashram, three vegetarian meals a day, course materials, pickup from Pokhara, and your certificate on completion. It does not cover international flights or your Nepal visa, which you arrange yourself. There are no hidden extras beyond that.
What is the daily schedule like, and how intensive is it?+
A teacher training is full time and demanding, not a holiday with some yoga added on. Days are long and structured, classes and teaching practice through the day, and meditation in the evening, usually six days a week. Most trainees find it intense, especially the first week. It is manageable for anyone with a regular practice, but come expecting real work.
How do I book, and what is the cancellation policy?+
Booking is done directly with us over WhatsApp or the inquiry form. We confirm your course dates and a clear price, usually with a deposit to hold your place. Cancellation and refund terms are set out on our Booking & Refund Policy page, so please read it before you pay, or ask us and we will explain it.
