There is yoga that stretches the body — and then there is yoga that stretches the soul. This 30-day Yoga Teacher Training is a sacred container. Not a course. Not a program. But a soul remembering — held at the edge of heaven, in the arms of Gokyo Lake.
Transforming the Inner Life | Awakening the True Self
An Immersion into the Living Wisdom of Yoga
There comes a moment — often quiet, often sudden —
when the soul whispers:
“This is not who I truly am.”
A longing stirs.
A veil lifts.
And the journey inward begins.
This is more than a yoga teacher training.
This is a soul pilgrimage —
a return to the sacred,
a remembering of your essence.
Held in the cradle of the Himalayas — on the glass-still shores of Gokyo Lake, one of Nepal’s holiest and highest lakes — this 30-day immersion is designed to initiate, refine, and awaken.
Whether you aspire to teach yoga or simply live it more truthfully, this is your call to rise.
Where the Breath Slows, and the Soul Speaks
There is yoga that stretches the body —
and then there is yoga that stretches the soul.
This 30-day Yoga Teacher Training is a sacred container.
Not a course. Not a program.
But a soul remembering — held at the edge of heaven, in the arms of Gokyo Lake.
Here, in the thin air of the Himalayas,
your senses awaken to a deeper perception —
where mountains don’t just stand, they speak.
Where water doesn’t just reflect light, it remembers you.
Where silence isn’t empty — it’s alive.
This is yoga that’s not about adding more —
but about peeling back what’s not you.
Letting the ego soften.
Letting the old fall.
Letting the truth rise.
Every breath you take here becomes devotion.
Every movement — a prayer.
Every teaching — a mirror, pointing inward.
You won’t just study the Yoga Sutras.
You will feel them in your bones.
You won’t just practice asana.
You will embody presence.
You won’t just teach.
You will transmit silence, steadiness, and soul.
At Gokyo, time slows.
The mind listens.
And something sacred inside begins to stir.
You’ll dive not just into techniques — but into truth.
You’ll learn not just how to teach — but how to live.
And in that still mirror of the lake,
you’ll meet a version of yourself you’ve always known —
but perhaps never dared to become.
This is not the yoga of performance.
This is the yoga of becoming real.
Set at nearly 5,000 meters, Gokyo is not just majestic — it’s medicine.
Its turquoise waters mirror not just the sky, but the soul.
Here, the silence is not absence — it’s presence.
The peaks don’t shout; they listen.
In this sacred stillness, you’ll begin to:
Unravel old identities
Open the heart space
Anchor the mind in the breath
Learn yoga not as movement — but as meaning
A 108 Hour Yoga Certification rooted in classical lineage and conscious living
Mastery in asana, alignment, pranayama, and meditation

A deep, lived understanding of yoga philosophy beyond textbooks
Tools to teach not from ego, but from clarity, experience, and embodied truth
A connection to the Himalayan source of yoga’s timeless power
You feel a deep inner call to live more truthfully
You wish to teach yoga as sacred transmission, not modern trend
You want to reconnect with stillness, purpose, and presence
You long to immerse in a powerful spiritual field far from distraction
You’re ready to meet your true self, beneath the layers
