50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Goa
A 7-day residential immersion into the art of stillness and deep release
In a world that never stops moving, Yin yoga teaches you how to be still.
Most yoga styles ask you to build strength, generate heat, and move with dynamic intention. Yin yoga asks you to surrender. To stay. To breathe into discomfort without fighting it. To discover the deeper layers of the self when the restlessness finally settles.
Our 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training goa is a 7-day residential journey designed for yoga practitioners and teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga. Whether you are a curious beginner taking your very first step into yoga teacher training in Goa, or an experienced practitioner seeking to deepen your knowledge or learn how to confidently guide a yin session, this course was built for you.
This training explores what Yin Yoga is truly about—maintaining and expanding flexibility and mobility, rejuvenating the body, and applying mindfulness principles to create greater peace and balance in the mind. Through the wisdom of Taoist philosophy, students learn how Yin Yoga harmonises the body, mind, and soul by working with the natural flow of Chi (Qi) through the body’s meridian pathways. As part of this yin yoga teacher training Goa, students will also gain a foundational understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how meridians influence the energetic effects of Yin Yoga poses.
During the course, students will practice and study 35 classical Yin Yoga poses, along with additional variations and modifications suitable for different body types. You will learn the intelligent use of props, explore the 5 elements in Yin Yoga, and understand how to safely assist students in their practice. The program also covers Yin Yoga sequencing, mindfulness practices, and effective teaching methodology, helping you design balanced and meaningful Yin Yoga classes.
The training also includes essential anatomy topics that help you understand how each body responds differently in Yin practice. Students will explore Paul Grilley’s 14-10-7 paradigm, target areas of the body, and the energetic stimulation of meridians within Yin poses.
Upon successful completion of the training, students will receive an internationally recognized Yin Yoga Teacher Training certification from Yoga Alliance USA, enabling them to integrate Yin Yoga into their personal practice or professional teaching journey and expand their opportunities within the global yoga community.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 50 hour Yin Yoga course at Shreem Yogshala?
The 50 hour Yin Yoga teacher training in Goa at Shreem Yogshala is a 7 day residential programme designed to take you deep into one of yoga’s most therapeutic and meditative traditions. Across seven immersive days, you will explore long-held postures, fascia and connective tissue work, the meridian system, and the profound art of stillness.
Who is this course designed for?
The 50 hour Yin Yoga teacher training in Goa is open to everyone — beginners, regular practitioners, psychologists, and healers. No prior experience in Yin yoga is needed.
It is particularly valuable for yoga teachers who have completed a yoga teacher training and want to add a recognised Yin specialisation to their teaching portfolio. It is equally well suited for anyone drawn to a slower, more meditative practice — those managing stress, recovering from injury, or seeking a deeper relationship with their body and breath.
What will I learn during the 7 days?
Our Yin yoga teacher training in Goa covers everything you need to practise and teach Yin yoga with confidence and depth. Across 7 days you will study the foundational philosophy of Yin yoga and how it differs from dynamic yang practices, the anatomy of fascia and connective tissue, Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian theory as it applies to the yoga practice, long-hold asana technique and intelligent prop usage, how to sequence a Yin class for different intentions and students, and weaving mindfulness and meditation into your teaching.
You leave with both the knowledge and the lived experience — not just a certificate.
Is this course beginner friendly?
Yes, completely. Our 50 hour Yin yoga TTC is structured to welcome students at every level of experience. What it requires is a willingness to be still, to observe, and to listen inward. If that calls to you, you are ready for this yoga training in Goa.
Can I volunteer at Shreem Yogshala after completing my course?
Yes — this is a fully residential, all-inclusive programme. Your accommodation at Shreem Yogshala and all daily sattvic vegetarian meals across the 7 days are included in the course fee. You arrive, you surrender to the process, and you leave transformed.
What certification will I receive?
Upon successful completion of the 7 day programme, you will receive a Yoga Alliance USA accredited certificate for the 50 hour Yin Yoga teacher training in Goa — an internationally recognised qualification valid across the world.
For existing teachers, this certification counts as Continuing Education hours with Yoga Alliance, formally adding Yin yoga to your teaching credentials. Paired with a prior yoga teacher training, it significantly expands both your teaching range and your professional profile.
How is the course assessed?
Assessment on the 50 hour Yin yoga teacher training in Goa is experiential and practical. There is no written examination. You will be assessed on your personal practice across the 7 days, your grasp of Yin principles and meridian theory, and your ability to independently lead and sequence a Yin yoga class during the teaching practicum.
At Shreem Yogshala, we believe that real yoga training in Goa should be measured by transformation, not just test scores.
Can I extend my stay at Shreem Yogshala after completing my course?
Yes, absolutely. You are welcome to extend your stay at Shreem Yogshala & Wellness beyond the course duration for as long as you like. Many of our graduates choose to stay on to integrate their learning, deepen their personal practice, and simply soak in the peaceful energy of North Goa a little longer.
A nominal daily fee covers your accommodation, meals, and access to the daily practice sessions at the Yogshala based on your preference of stay.
Is accommodation included?
Yes — we understand that a few weeks is rarely enough when you are deep in a yoga journey.
We do offer a very limited number of volunteership slots for graduates of our programmes at Shreem Yogshala. Volunteership opportunities vary depending on the type of service you wish to offer — whether that is assisting in yoga classes, supporting sound healing sessions, or contributing to the daily rhythm of the centre in other meaningful ways.
If volunteering feels right for you, we encourage you to reach out to us early as slots fill quickly. It is a rare and genuinely enriching way to continue your growth within the Shreem community.
