Free your authentic self and unearth your internal seeds of wisdom, as you immerse yourself in the majestic Himalayan mountains, and root into the deep wisdom of the Motherland of Yoga, India.

The 5 acre regenerative forest of The Heal Farm, nestled within the Sattal Forest Reserve, will serve as the home of Pachamama’s 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

The spiritual sanctuary’s Earth conscious way of life will invite you to embrace a slow and purposeful way of living, allowing you to connect back to the heart of Mother Nature.

It’s dedication to the conservation and restoration of the natural world, inspired The Heal Farm to create an off-grid, carbon-negative centre, devoted to transformation and healing through deep nature connection, sound healing, meditation, Yoga, art, and simple community living.

This Himalayan haven yields nature-immersed accommodation, a Yoga and Meditation Shala, Sound Healing Sanctum, community dining, communal spaces, creative workspace (art and woodworking), and an abundance of mountain side sanctuaries for peaceful self-reflection in nature.

The Pachamama Yoga Teacher Training experience empowers the rhythms of spiritual yogic living, inviting deep internal transformation to take place. This immersive approach to the course allows you to wholly embody the teachings of Yoga, as well as the yogic way of living, readying you to make Yoga the foundations for the journey of your life.

This dedicated time to you and your practice, without distraction, will support you in fully connecting to the teachings that resonate with your authentic self, before stepping out into your own offerings as a Yoga Teacher.

However this course is not solely for individuals wishing to share Yoga through teaching. You are invited to step into this journey if you purely feel called to enrich your Yogic practice and understanding, or if your wish is to delve into a transformational path of self discovery, reflection and healing.

The healing power of sound and music will be beautifully weaved throughout this immersive training, offering deep experiences of Sound therapy, music circles, Kirtan, chanting, singing, as well as discovering how to integrate Sound and music into your own unique offerings.

This intimate YTT invites only 12 like minded souls to journey together, allowing for deep connection and a beautiful community feel, as you co-create an energetic container of transformation, growth and empowerment together with your family of YTT Yogis.

Pachamama’s holistic approach invites all to benefit from the magic of Yoga. It is our belief that Yoga is for the whole, and we warmly welcome all beliefs, faiths and religions, all cultures and backgrounds, all genders, and all abilities. We welcome you exactly as you are meant to be.

An integral aspect of the course is the like-minded community of fellow yogis, who will become your family over the duration of your journey. So although sharing a room with a ‘stranger’ may feel like a daunting experience, we invite you to open your heart to the unity of all, and know that a stranger may just transform into a friend for life.
