Recognition → Atmosphere → Trust

Not a factory. A foundation.

The page opens by helping the right student feel seen: beginners are welcome, sincerity matters, and the training is designed to feel human, calm, and immersive rather than rushed or sales-driven.
Who this is for
Beginners welcome
No teaching experience needed — just curiosity and openness to learn.
Embodied learning
Learn through direct experience, reflection, and daily practice.
Teaching foundation
Develop confidence in guiding practice with clarity and presence.
Yogic lifestyle
Experience a slower, more intentional rhythm rooted in simplicity and awareness.

Why 100 Hours?

100

Not enough to rush. Enough to go deep.

200 hours covers everything. 100 hours goes somewhere.

This is not a shorter version of a longer training. It is a focused, deliberate immersion into three lenses — neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and yogic wisdom — that change how you experience and understand yoga entirely.

In 11 days, you will not become a teacher. You will become someone who sees yoga differently. That shift is the foundation everything else is built on.

Who This Is For

Profile 01

The Sincere Beginner

You have practised for a year or two. You feel something in yoga that you want to understand more fully — not just feel. You are not sure about teaching yet, but you know you want to go deeper.
Not for: those with no personal practice yet
Profile 02

The Career Changer

You are considering yoga as a professional path. Before committing to a full 200H, you want to test your calling, build your foundation, and understand what teaching actually involves — from the inside.
Not for: those looking for a fast-track certificate
Profile 03

The Serious Practitioner

You have practised for years. You want the science and philosophy behind what you feel on the mat. You may never teach, but you want the depth — the nervous system, the tradition, the understanding.
Not for: those who need Yoga Alliance hours for existing teaching

Daily Rhythm

A day here has its
own quiet logic.

Not a schedule to follow — a rhythm to settle into.
6:00
Dawn
Morning Practice

Before the mind starts talking.

Asana, pranayama, and silent meditation in the open-air shala. The light is still soft. The body leads.
8:00
Morning
Study & Theory

The science behind what you just felt.

Neuroscience, philosophy, trauma-informed frameworks. Not lectures — conversations. Questions are expected.
13:00
Midday
Meals & Rest

Stillness is also part of the training.

Vegetarian meals on the campus. Time to walk, journal, sit by the pool, or simply do nothing. Integration needs space.
15:00
Afternoon
Teaching Practicum

Learning to guide, not perform.

You practice teaching in a small group. You receive feedback. You learn what it feels like to hold space for another person.
18:00
Evening
Evening & Wind-Down

The day closes slowly.

A short practice or meditation. Dinner together. Conversations that continue long after the session ends.
"Studying at Oceanic Yoga was a life-changing experience with incredibly caring, knowledgeable teachers, clean and peaceful facilities, and a supportive community that made me feel right at home while deepening my practice."

learning experience

The training, felt as
lived experience.

The curriculum is presented through themes so the page feels experiential before it feels informational.

Asana & Alignment

You will study the physical postures from the inside out — not as shapes to achieve, but as intelligence to understand. We move slowly, asking: what does this posture actually do? By the end, you will have a practice you can trust.
Anatomy in motion
Sequencing logic
Adjustment principles

Pranayama & Meditation

Breath is the bridge between the body and the mind — the one system you can both control and observe. We study classical pranayama techniques and the neuroscience behind them. Meditation is practiced daily as a lived experience.
Breath regulation
Silent sitting
Nervous system states

Philosophy & Yogic Thought

The Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, Samkhya — not as history to memorise, but as frameworks that are still useful today. We read slowly. We discuss. The question is not "what did this mean then?" but "what does this mean now?"
Patanjali's Sutras
Samkhya framework
Applied ethics

Anatomy & Body Awareness

How does the hip actually work? What is the diaphragm doing in Warrior I? We study anatomy in the context of yoga — by feeling it first and naming it second. This makes anatomical knowledge stick because it is anchored in direct experience.
Joints & ranges
Fascial lines
Posture & compensation

Teaching Foundations

You will begin teaching — to each other, in small groups, with feedback — from day three. Not because you are ready, but because readiness comes from doing it. You will learn to cue clearly and to hold a space where others feel safe to try.
Voice & language
Sequencing a class
Holding space

Yogic Lifestyle & Self-Practice

A yoga teacher who does not practise is a guide who has not walked the path. This thread runs through everything: morning sadhana, journaling, sattvic diet, rest as discipline. You leave with a personal practice that belongs to you.
Personal sadhana
Daily rhythm
Sattvic principles
The curriculum is designed as an integrated whole — each thread reinforces the others. You will not study philosophy separately from asana. You will not study anatomy separately from teaching. Everything connects.
100 Hours Yoga Teacher Training Goa

The Oceanic difference

Not a training. A container.

Most yoga teacher trainings give you a syllabus. We give you a held space — small enough to actually see you, structured enough to actually change you.
Small group, real attention
Max 18 students per cohort. Your teacher notices what a room of 25 cannot. Attention like this cannot be scheduled — it happens because the group is small enough.
Embodied, not instructed
You will feel your nervous system — in morning practice, in stillness after pranayama — and then we name what happened. Knowledge that arrives this way does not leave.
Goa as curriculum
The Arabian Sea, the open-air shala, the unhurried coastal pace — these are part of what the training teaches. The rhythm of the place becomes the rhythm of the learning.
Founder's presence
A shared philosophy. A dedicated core faculty. A consistent standard of teaching. At Oceanic, every cohort learns within a connected teaching environment shaped by teachers who know our curriculum and approach deeply.
“I’ve seen how easily students can become invisible when a training grows too large. That’s why I chose to keep our cohorts to a maximum of 18 — because every student deserves to be seen, guided and truly known.”

Swami Anand Jiska

The right training is not only about what you learn. It is about who you become while learning. Then continue. This might keep the rhythm.

FAQ

Before you decide

The questions most students ask before applying — the practical ones and the harder ones.
I have been practicing for less than a year. Am I ready?

The training requires a consistent personal practice — not years of advanced study. If yoga has been a meaningful part of your life for 6+ months and you feel genuinely drawn to go deeper, you are likely ready. We assess each application individually. When in doubt, apply and let us help you decide.

I don’t want to teach professionally. Is a teacher training still useful for me?

Most of our students never teach a public class. A 100-hour training is the clearest way to understand your own practice — why a posture works, what the breath is doing, where the philosophy sits underneath it all. What you do with that afterwards is entirely yours to decide.

How is this different from a 200-hour training?

A 200-hour is a professional qualification with a broad syllabus and, usually, a large group. This is 100 hours with eight people. We go slower, in more depth, and you are seen. Many students use it as a foundation before committing to a 200-hour later.

I am older, or carrying an injury. Will I be able to take part?

Yes. Every session is taught with modifications, and with eight students we can adapt in the moment rather than teaching to an average. Tell us about any injury or condition on your application so we can prepare properly.

What does a typical day look like?

Mornings open with pranayama and meditation, followed by asana practice and a break for breakfast. Midday is theory — anatomy, philosophy, or teaching methodology. Afternoons are for practice and self-study, and the day closes with a restorative session before dinner.

Which style of yoga is taught?

The foundation is traditional Hatha, with Vinyasa sequencing introduced as your practice steadies. The emphasis is on alignment and breath rather than on any single lineage’s choreography.

Will I be able to keep up physically?

The schedule is full but not punishing, and rest is built into it. You are practising twice a day for ten days, so expect to be tired in the first few days and to find your rhythm after that.

What certification do I receive?

On completion you receive a 100-Hour YTTC certificate aligned with Yoga Alliance, which counts towards a 200-hour qualification if you continue.

How do I get to the campus?

Fly into Goa — either Dabolim (GOI) or Mopa (GOX). A private transfer to campus is available for USD 30; let us know your flight details once your booking is confirmed and we will arrange it.

What are the accommodation options?

Three room types on campus, a five-minute walk from the shala: Twin Share, Triple Share, or a Private Cottage. All have a private bathroom, and all include full access to the pool and grounds.

What are the meals like?

Three vegetarian sattvic meals a day — light, nourishing, and free from onion and garlic. Vegan and gluten-free options are available; note any allergies on your application form.

Do I need a visa?

Most nationalities can apply online for an India e-Visa, which takes three to five business days. We provide a letter of invitation on registration. Apply at least two weeks before you travel.

How do I reserve my place?

Choose your batch and room type, then submit an application. Once we have reviewed it we will confirm your place and send payment details. A deposit secures the room; the balance is due before arrival.

What is the cancellation policy?

The deposit is non-refundable, but it is transferable to any future batch within twelve months. Cancellations more than 30 days before arrival are refunded in full minus the deposit.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. The deposit reserves your place and the balance can be split across two payments before arrival. Write to us and we will set up a schedule that works.
