Most people who fly into Goa for a yoga teacher training have no idea they’re walking into the tail end of a fifty-year-old story. Goa wasn’t always a yoga destination.

What you will have, almost every day, is unstructured time around the […]
Letters from Our Students: What Nobody Tells You About Doing a YTTC in India
Real, raw, first-person accounts from the people who’ve lived it. Every year, hundreds of people land at Goa’s Airport with a backpack, a yoga mat, and a mix of excitement and quiet terror.
