Yoga teacher trainings are becoming increasingly popular in countries like Bali and Rishikesh—but did you know you could also plan a yoga teacher training in Nepal?
Imagine hiking through the majestic Himalayas, relaxing on a lake so high in the mountains that its waters are crystal clear and reflect the blue sky above, learning about Nepali culture, and practicing yoga in a country known for both its artistry and peace. The time, money and resources you invest in a yoga course in Nepal will be well worth it because:
Less population, making Nepal a more tourist friendly environment:
Nepal has a population of 28.6 million, which is less than that of its neighbors. Nepali people are welcoming and rarely experience crime. Women traveling solo will feel safer in Nepal than in neighboring countries. While hitchhiking through the hills, you may be invited into a mud house by sparkling eyes and a smile to enjoy authentic rice and lentil soup—an experience that allows you to enjoy yoga teacher training in Nepal while learning about a whole new culture and way of life.
Most popular trekking destination in the world:
You've undoubtedly heard of Mount Everest, but did you know that Nepal boasts eight of the world's seventeen highest mountain ranges? With more than eight peaks over 8,000 meters and more than six peaks over 6,000 meters, Nepal tops the list of go-to destinations for trekkers. After your yoga teacher training, trekking to the snowcapped Himalayas is a great way to celebrate and make your experience in Nepal even more memorable.
Pure air and waterquality:
Nepal has one of the highest levels of forest cover in Asia, and the air and water quality are excellent. You can find a peaceful environment to do yoga or meditate in Nepal.
Smaller groups of students allow for a more serious environment for yogic studies:
Nepal is slowly making a name for itself as a preferred destination for yoga lovers. As of now, the number of tourists coming to Nepal for yoga is relatively low compared with neighboring countries. This provides a very good student-teacher ratio in yoga schools in Nepal, making your yoga teacher training more personalized and hands-on.
