Why train with us in Dharamshala

In the heart of Bhagsu

Upper Bhagsu, a short walk above Bhagsu Nag village — near Beetroot Cafe and Kibbutz, on the path towards Bhagsu waterfall.

Himalayan calm, May to September

Our Dharamshala season runs from late spring through early autumn — clear days around 15–25°C, deodar forest and green valleys, and evenings cool enough for a fleece. The 2026 season closes at the end of September and we reopen in May 2027; from late October to April the same courses run in Goa.

A genuinely multi-style curriculum

Hatha Alignment, Hatha Vinyasa Flow, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology — you experience the main streams of classical yoga, not just one style.

One certificate, worldwide

Every course is Yoga Alliance registered, so graduates can register with Yoga Alliance and teach internationally.

The place is really great! I love Alpesh’s classes , they are so nice and they helped me deepen my practice so much! If you are someone who really wants to work on yourself I think this is the place for it . The best part is they are in both mountains and beach cities so it’s a true blessing learning and being there around the lovely environment:)

I completed my 200-hour, 300-hour, and 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training Courses with Alpesh Yoga, and it has been one of the most valuable experiences in my yoga journey. I initially joined as a regular student seeking relief from back pain and sinus issues. As my practice progressed, I experienced significant improvement in both, which inspired me to deepen my understanding of yoga and eventually pursue the teacher training courses. Looking back, I am extremely happy that I made that decision. What sets Alpesh Sir apart is his genuine dedication to his students. He pays close attention to alignment, technique, and understanding, and patiently explains concepts until students gain clarity and confidence. His teaching style is thorough, practical, and easy to understand, making even complex yogic concepts accessible. Along with Alpesh Sir, his team has also been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. Together, they create a learning environment that is welcoming, professional, and encouraging. Beyond the physical practice of yoga, Alpesh Sir shares valuable insights, experiences, and yogic wisdom that help students understand the deeper essence of yoga and how to apply it in daily life. The classes are not only educational but also inspiring, encouraging personal growth, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to the practice. The training provided me with a strong foundation that has helped me build and teach my own yoga classes with confidence. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, authenticity, and passion for teaching make him an exceptional teacher and mentor.

I can’t say enough good things about my time with the team at Alpesh Yoga. Sometimes it’s hard to find a teacher who is both technically brilliant and genuinely kind, but that’s exactly what you get here. I appreciated how much individual attention we received; it made the whole experience feel very personal. I’m heading home feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful for the lessons I learned on the mat. Whether you’re a beginner or a teacher, you’ll find something special here.

I did a 100-hour course with Alpesh, it was a really good experience, very personal treatment and the course was intimate and varied. Alpesh is a very caring teacher, he knew exactly what each person's strengths are and the points to which they need to pay more attention. Highly recommend, even just to come to a drop-in class in the morning to strengthen your body and get yourself in shape if you can't stay for the course.

It was a great and positive experience choosing to take the course at Alpesh Yoga. He was able to share his knowledge with me and help me understand even more, enabling me to better perform the asanas, their alignment, possibilities, and meaning. Likewise, the atmosphere, the classes, and Alpesh's great helpful and kind personality made me feel comfortable and see improvement .Thank you!!!

FAQ

Common questions

  • Most students start with our 200 Hour Multi-Style TTC — a 22-day, Yoga Alliance registered course that lets you register as RYT 200 and teach professionally anywhere in the world. Short on time? The 11-day 100 Hour Multi-Style TTC is a solid foundation you can build on later. Already 200-hour certified and want to go deeper? The 28-day 300 Hour advanced course is the RYT 500 path.

  • Fly into Dharamshala (Gaggal) airport, or take an overnight bus from Delhi to McLeod Ganj. The shala is at Upper Bhagsu, near Beetroot Cafe and Kibbutz — we help every student arrange the last leg.

  • Layers: a warm fleece or light down jacket for evenings, comfortable practice clothes, a reusable water bottle and good walking shoes for the village paths. Our season runs May to September, so days are mild to warm and the nights stay cool at 2,000 m — bring a light waterproof if your batch falls in the monsoon months.

  • Dharamkot is one of India’s most established traveler villages, and most of our students arrive solo. You train and stay within a small residential group, and our team is reachable on WhatsApp throughout.

  • Most nationalities can attend on a standard Indian tourist e-visa; apply 2–3 weeks before travel. Message us on WhatsApp if you have questions about the process.

  • Book online — it takes about two minutes and requires no payment. We confirm availability within 24 hours, then send a deposit link for 30% of your chosen course or retreat price; the balance is paid on arrival.
