Goa’s hilltop quiet makes Yin Yoga click fast. This 100-hour teacher training focuses on Yin as both practice and therapy, with guidance from teachers like Alex and added yang-balance work with Jenny—so you’re not just stretching, you’re learning how to explain and adapt Yin safely.

Two things I’d prioritize if you’re considering this course: the setting is peaceful but convenient (jungle hilltop, yet walkable to town and beach), and the training includes hands-on, therapeutic thinking about how to sequence Yin using Daoist elements. The main drawback is also the most important one to understand: it’s non-refundable, so you’ll want to be sure your dates and paperwork plans are solid before you lock it in.

You’ll base yourself in air-conditioned cottages with a pool at a quiet nature spot, practice in a jungle shala in natural shade, and keep your energy up with included meals plus coffee or tea. With a group size capped at 16, it’s small enough to ask questions and get feedback without turning the whole training into a lecture.

Key highlights at a glance

• Comfort level matters: AC cottages, pool, and a peaceful hilltop practice space
• Support from named teachers: Alex leads core training; Jenny supports with a yang class
• Included basics: yoga mats, belts, and blocks are provided
• Food included: all meals and coffee or tea included, so you can focus on training

Why this Goa hilltop setting helps you learn Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga often works best when you feel safe enough to slow down. This training is held in a quiet jungle hilltop spot with AC cottages and a pool—so your body has a break between sessions, and your mind isn’t fighting noise or chaos.

The practice happens in a jungle shala shaded by surrounding trees. That detail matters. Cold rooms and bright lights can pull you into “performance mode.” Shade and calm make it easier to notice subtle sensations—tightness, release, heat, heaviness—without rushing.

Another smart factor: it’s not remote. You’re close enough that you can walk around town and head toward the beach area. That gives you a chance to reset during the two-week flow rather than feeling trapped in a single campus bubble.

Finally, there’s a viewing lounge from which you get a strong sunset payoff. If you’re doing Yin training, you’ll likely appreciate those slow evenings to reflect instead of needing to stay out late every night.

The 100-hour curriculum: what you’re actually training to teach

This is a Yin Yoga Therapy teacher training designed for learning the essential elements of Yin and how to apply them as therapy. Over roughly two weeks, the course aims to build both practice depth and teaching competence.

Here’s the heart of what you’re studying:

• Yin Yoga techniques and therapeutic benefits
• How to use Yin mindfully, not just mechanically
• How to create sequences that align with Daoist elements and their energetic value
• How to shape the “environment” so the experience becomes transformational for body and mind

That Daoist elements piece is more than philosophy. It’s a way to think about patterns—how different qualities may relate to someone’s needs—and how to reflect that in sequencing and pacing. If you want to teach clients who don’t all need the same exact postures, this framework gives you a language for differences.

You’ll also spend time learning how Yin can support real-world issues—strength, health, and your ability to “thrive and flow” in daily life. That wording might sound poetic, but the practical takeaway is simple: you’re meant to become someone who can offer structured guidance, not just follow a preset class.

How therapeutic sequencing becomes teacher skills (not just a concept)

A common reason Yin trainings feel useful in theory but tricky in real teaching is that students don’t get enough guidance on what to do with the information. This program is built around applying Yin as therapy, including the art of creating the ideal environment for change.

When you’re learning to teach, you need to translate:

• posture and hold times
• breath and stillness
• cues for comfort and safety
• and sequencing logic

into something you can confidently explain and tailor.

The Daoist elements approach helps because it pushes you to think in cause-and-effect. Instead of asking, Which pose is trendy? you’re asked, Which energetic quality am I supporting, and what sequence can reflect that?

Also, the training emphasizes the subtle side of practice. Yin Yoga is often described as stillness work, but teaching it well means knowing how to cue attention: where students should place awareness, how to keep the session supportive, and how to avoid over-pressing.

Teaching tone and pacing: Alex’s depth plus Jenny’s yang balance

From the program setup, you can tell it’s designed for balance. One review specifically calls out a morning yang yoga class as exceptional, taught by Jenny. That matters for Yin teacher trainings because Yin-only learning can leave you with a body that feels very “down-regulated” and sometimes tight around areas you didn’t mobilize.

Yang practice in the morning (even brief and focused) can help you:

• warm tissues before longer Yin holds
• keep circulation moving
• reduce stiffness for those days when you’re actively teaching and adjusting cues

And Alex is highlighted as an experienced, inspiring master teacher with strong knowledge. In teacher trainings, teacher skill isn’t only about knowing poses—it’s about how they structure the lesson, handle questions, and connect theory to what students feel in their bodies.

If you’re the kind of person who learns best when the teacher explains the “why” behind the “what,” this sounds like it fits.

Your base in Morjim-Ashvem: AC cottages, pool, and easy walks

Let’s talk logistics, because comfort is part of training success. The accommodations are included and come with air-conditioned cottages—a big deal in Goa, especially when you’re doing long days of learning.

You’ll also have a pool, which can turn into a simple recovery tool: a short swim or cool-down after practice can help you reset and keep your energy steady over 13 days.

The practice shala is in natural shade in the jungle. That’s not just charming. It can reduce glare and heat stress, so you can stay present.

And the location gives you freedom. You can walk around town and also get to the beach area without feeling like you need a full transport plan every time you want a change of scenery. That kind of flexibility helps if you’re the type who needs downtime between study blocks.

What the training day might feel like (and why that pace works)

You’re doing 100 hours over about 13 days, so expect a structured, high-commitment schedule. Courses like this typically mix:

• Yin practice and adjustments
• teaching method (how to cue, sequence, and manage a class)
• discussion on therapeutic principles
• and time for integrating what you learned into how you’d teach

The pace is intentional. Yin Yoga has a learning curve because you’re training both sensitivity and patience. You can’t rush that. With the training compressed into two weeks, you’ll likely see faster progress—assuming you also give yourself real recovery time in the evenings.

That’s where the AC cottages and included meals help. If you’re constantly thinking about food, heat, or where to sleep, you lose learning time to stress.

Extra workshops that broaden your tool kit

One of the most exciting parts in the provided info is that the program includes additional workshops beyond standard Yin teacher training. Examples mentioned include:

• acupuncture
• sound healing
• human design
• adjustments and massage techniques

This doesn’t mean you’re being turned into a medical practitioner. But it can add practical angles to how you understand the body, energy, and comfort work—useful when you teach students who bring their whole life into the studio: stress patterns, soreness, and long-held tension.

If you like an “integrative” learning vibe—where you’re not only studying sequences but also exploring complementary modalities—this is a strong match.

Just remember the core purpose: you’re there for Yin Yoga Therapy teaching. Think of these workshops as extras that support your teaching voice, not substitutes for Yin fundamentals.

Price and value: what you’re paying for (and what you’re not)

At $1,272.20 per person for about 13 days, this is priced like a true training package, not just a few yoga sessions. You’re not only buying instruction—you’re getting:

• 100 hours of Yin Yoga Therapy teacher training
• accommodations included (AC cottages)
• yoga mats, belts, and blocks provided
• all meals plus coffee or tea included
• pickup offered (starting from Dabolim Airport)

That list changes the math. Many similar programs tack on lodging, meals, and gear rentals separately. Here, you’re effectively reducing decision fatigue and surprise costs.

There’s another value angle: small group size. With a maximum of 16 travelers, the training can stay more personal—meaning you’re more likely to get feedback and teaching practice time.

The tradeoff is the non-refundable nature. If you’re flexible and confident about your travel plan, the price-to-inclusion ratio can feel fair. If you’re still sorting out timing, it’s a course you’ll want to commit to only when you’re sure.

Who should book this training in Goa

This training fits you well if:

• You want to teach Yin Yoga Therapy and need a structured path
• You like the Daoist-elements approach and want a framework for sequencing
• You value a calm learning space with real recovery (AC, pool, included meals)
• You want some extra modalities (acupuncture, sound healing, human design, and hands-on skills)

It might not be the best fit if:

• You need a very slow, low-commitment retreat style schedule
• You’re not ready to commit to strict cancellation terms
• You prefer purely academic study without a strong practice component (this training is built to be felt, not only read)

Practical tips: how to prepare so the training feels easier

Because your program is fast (100 hours in roughly two weeks), your preparation can make or break your experience.

Here are smart, low-risk steps based on what’s included and what’s typical for teacher training environments:

• Plan for consistent practice clothing since you’ll likely be practicing repeatedly across days
• Bring whatever personal items help you focus (earplugs if you’re sensitive, a simple journal for notes)
• Protect your energy on the walkable evenings. You’re close to town and beach, so it’s tempting to do too much. Keep it restful.
• If you’re new to Asia travel, build a simple routine for comfort and paperwork so you don’t start the training stressed

Also, if you have questions about your ability to participate, the program states that most travelers can participate and service animals are allowed—so it’s worth confirming your needs early.

Should you book the Yin Yoga Therapy Teacher Training in Goa?

If you want Yin Yoga teacher training with a therapy lens, the hilltop environment, included comforts, and a clear sequencing framework make this a strong choice. The combination of core teaching plus extra workshops (acupuncture, sound healing, human design, adjustments/massage techniques) can give you more options for how you show up in your future classes.

I’d book this if you can commit to the schedule, want to learn to teach—especially Yin as therapy—and you’ll appreciate the chance to study in a quiet jungle setting with strong sunset energy.

I’d pause if your plans are uncertain or you’re not comfortable with the non-refundable terms. In that case, wait until your travel certainty is high.
