Career guide after graduation
If you want to train seriously but are not ready to commit to a full 200-hour month, this is the most practical starting point. Over 11 days, you train in Arambol with Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga, plus philosophy, anatomy, breathwork, meditation, and mantra.
The structure is simple. You join the first half of our 200 Hour YTT course in Goa, training alongside students completing the full certification. Same teachers, same shala, same daily schedule. The only difference is your departure date. Your stay includes clean accommodation and freshly prepared sattvik meals (pure vegetarian food that supports practice and rest).
With monthly start dates (1st of each month) and fees from USD 375 (course only) or USD 779 with dorm, this is a flexible way to begin. If you enjoy it (and most students do), you can return at any time to complete the second 100 hours and earn the full 200 Hour Yoga Alliance certification. (Note: the 100 Hour YTT itself is not Yoga Alliance certified; the full 200 Hour program is.)
Note: Prices, dates, and transfer charges can change seasonally. Confirm current amounts on our dates & fees before booking.

Covers: foundational postures, modifications, breath with asana, and how to structure a grounded Hatha class.
Learn how to sequence and theme a yoga class so sessions flow seamlessly. You will also learn how to give safe physical and verbal adjustments, helping students tune into correct alignment.
Covers: constructing, sequencing, and theming a class; building postural arcs; providing safe adjustments and modifications.
Explore breathing techniques beyond basic diaphragmatic breathing: Ujjayi, Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, and meditation practices for mental clarity and calm. You will learn how to practise and teach these in a class setting.
Practice teaching real classes to your peers, receive feedback from instructors, and build confidence in your teaching voice. Includes class observations and guided practice opportunities.
Study the Yoga Sutras, the eight limbs, yamas and niyamas, and the ethical foundations of yoga. Explore lineages including Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Iyengar, with a focus on the movement-based styles you will practice daily.
Understand the skeletal, muscular, and joint systems relevant to yoga. Learn which muscles engage in each posture, how to identify weak or tight areas, and how to teach safely for different body types.

“I had a wonderful time at Divine Path. I met so many amazing people, and the staff was always incredibly helpful. I learned a lot about yoga and really pushed myself to my limits, but it was absolutely worth it. The resort is beautiful and in a great location. The beach is within walking distance, and there are plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. Thank you so much for this amazing experience.”
Aylin Avci
“My experience at Divine Path was truly incredible and deeply enriching. The retreat felt authentic, natural, and flexible to each person's needs. Saranj's warmth and guidance made every interaction meaningful, and the food was delicious, nourishing, and thoughtfully adapted to individual preferences. Thank you for this experience!”

Simple arrival planning for international students training in Arambol, Goa.
Arambol Beach, Mandrem, and Chapora Fort. Easy to visit on rest day.
Divinepath sits in a quiet residential pocket of Arambol — about a 5-minute walk from Arambol Beach. After class you can reach the sand without a taxi.
Accommodation is on campus — a dorm bed, a shared wooden cottage, or a private cottage. Cottages include attached bathrooms with 24/7 hot water and comfortable beds; the dorm is a simple shared option steps from the shala. All sit in a quiet, green setting ideal for rest and reflection.

We follow a sattvik approach: fresh, seasonal, plant-based. Meals are light on spice, free from processed ingredients, with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, fruits, and dairy. Breakfast is typically fresh fruit with poha or parathas. Lunch is dal, rice, chapati, and seasonal vegetables. Dinner is something lighter. If you have dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free), let us know in advance.

Both courses share the same teachers, campus, and daily schedule. The 100-hour is simply the first 11 days of the 21-day program.

Most 100-hour courses in Goa look similar on a listing page. Four things separate them, and all four are checkable before you pay.
If a beach campus is not what you want, our Rishikesh 100-hour runs in the Himalayan foothills instead.
Goa works for training most of the year. We run courses on the 1st of every month except June–July (heavy monsoon). Here is what to expect by season:
Warm days (28–33°C), cool evenings, zero rain. Best for first-time visitors. December–January batches fill fastest. Book 6 weeks ahead.
Most PopularHot (32–36°C) but dry. Quieter campus, easier cottage availability. All rooms and the shala are air-conditioned, so training is comfortable.
Best ValueOccasional rain (25–30°C), everything lush green. Meditative atmosphere. Rain usually clears by mid-morning. Smallest batches of the year.
Most Serene
Self-motivation is required. The practice and teaching of yoga demands discipline and respect. Participants must attend all meditation sessions, lectures, and asana classes.
Meat, fish, eggs, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs are prohibited during the course. They are counterproductive to yoga practice. Students who do not comply may be dismissed.
Smoking and alcohol are strictly prohibited. Be on time. Late arrivals will not be permitted to join class. Clear all dues before departure, and return any borrowed materials.
If you need to cancel or change your course date, here is how it works:

Eleven days, residential, at our Arambol campus. Batches start on the 1st of each month, with a 10th to 21st batch in January. The 100 hours are taught across those 11 days and count as the first half of our 200-hour course.
Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Vinyasa Flow, along with pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and mantra chanting.
Yes, you receive a Divinepath certificate of completion. Yoga Alliance does not register 100-hour courses, so this is not an RYT credential. The full 200-hour course leads to RYT 200 registration.
Absolutely. The 100-hour is the first half of our 200-hour program. Return any time to complete the second half and receive the full Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certificate.

For beginners, choose a residential 100 hour yoga teacher training in Goa with small batches, a clear daily schedule, and a path to 200-hour certification. Divinepath’s 11-day program in Arambol includes meals, stay, Hatha and Ashtanga foundations, and credits toward the full 200-hour YTT.
A yoga retreat focuses on relaxation and light practice. 100 hour yoga teacher training in Goa is an intensive curriculum with anatomy, philosophy, teaching methodology, and peer teaching practice: the first half of a professional teacher-training pathway.
Yes. Many solo female students join us each month. Our Arambol campus is gated, our team is available 24/7, and we can arrange airport pickup for $30 USD from GOX or $50 USD from GOI so you are supported from arrival.
Goa offers beachside training in Arambol with a relaxed coastal pace. Rishikesh is Himalayan and more traditional. Choose Goa for focused 100-hour training with meals and stay by the sea; compare both in our Goa vs Rishikesh guide.
