Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for certified yoga teachers who want to add a powerful and in-demand specialisation to their offering, wellness professionals drawn to the therapeutic applications of sound and Yin yoga, and practitioners with a personal calling toward deep healing, energetic work, and holding space for others.
If you have completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training in Goa or elsewhere and are looking for your next step, this programme offers a genuinely rare combination of skills that sets you apart as a yoga instructor.
What will I learn?
You will learn how to design and lead Yin yoga sessions with live sound support, understand the science of how sound frequencies affect the nervous system and emotional body, work with chakras through targeted sound healing, and develop the presence and skill to hold deeply safe and transformative healing spaces for your students.
What is Sound Healing and how does it enhance Yin Yoga?
Sound healing uses specific frequencies — produced through Tibetan bowls, and other instruments — to shift the nervous system into states of deep rest, emotional release, and cellular healing. When layered into a Yin yoga practice, where the body is already held in long, passive postures, the effect is profoundly amplified.
The stillness of Yin opens the body. Together with sound they create an experience that students describe as one of the most transformative they have ever had on the mat — making this one of the most sought-after offerings in modern yoga and wellness.
Is this course beginner friendly?
This programme is best suited for those with an existing foundation in yoga — whether through personal practice or a prior yoga teacher training in Goa or elsewhere. A background in Yin yoga or sound healing is helpful but not essential.
If you are newer to yoga but have a strong calling toward sound healing and restorative work, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. We are happy to guide you toward the right starting point.
What certification will I receive?
Upon successful completion you will receive a Yoga Alliance USA accredited 100 hour certificate — internationally recognised and valid for yoga professionals worldwide.
For existing teachers, this counts as Continuing Education hours with Yoga Alliance, formally adding Yin Yoga and Sound Healing as a specialisation to your teaching credentials. It is a qualification that positions you at the forefront of the growing therapeutic yoga and sound wellness space.
Is accommodation and food included?
Yes — this is a fully residential, all-inclusive programme. Your accommodation at Shreem Yogshala in North Goa and all daily sattvic vegetarian meals are included in the course fee across the full duration of the training.
How is the course assessed?
Assessment is entirely practical — there is no written examination. Your teachers at Shreem Yogshala will observe your growth across the programme through your personal practice, your understanding of sound healing principles, and your ability to independently lead a Yin yoga session with integrated sound healing during the teaching practicum.
Can I teach Sound Healing professionally after this course?
Yes. Upon completing this yoga teacher training in India, Goa, you will have the foundational skills and confidence to offer Yin yoga classes with live sound integration, lead standalone sound baths and sound journeys, incorporate chakra sound healing into your sessions, and work in retreat centres, studios, and private wellness settings.
Sound healing is one of the fastest growing offerings in the global wellness industry — and teachers who can combine it with Yin yoga are exceptionally well placed to build a meaningful and sustainable teaching career.
Do I need to bring or buy Tibetan bowls for this course?
No — all bowls required for your practice and learning are provided at Shreem Yogshala throughout the duration of the training. You do not need to bring or purchase anything before arriving.
That said, once you complete the course and step into teaching, having your own set of Tibetan or Crystal bowls will significantly support your ongoing practice and professional development.
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.
Can I volunteer at Shreem Yogshala after completing my course?
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.
