About This Course

The 500 Hour Master Yoga Teacher Training at Medhya Laya is the most complete and comprehensive yoga education available. By combining the full 200 Hour and 300 Hour curricula into a single 55-day residential journey, this program offers a depth of transformation that shorter programs simply cannot match.

You will emerge from this program not just as a certified yoga teacher, but as a masterful guide — someone who understands the full science of yoga from the inside out. The physical, philosophical, therapeutic, spiritual, and pedagogical dimensions of this ancient tradition are all explored with rigor and depth.

55 days is a long time to be away from ordinary life. But for those who are ready, it is the most profound investment you can make in yourself. Graduates consistently describe the 500 Hour TTC as one of the most important experiences of their lives — a before-and-after that divides their world into two.

500 Hr Master Graduates

★★★★★

"55 days is a long time — but it passed in a heartbeat. The 500-hour TTC was the most challenging and meaningful experience of my life. I cried, struggled, and grew more than I imagined possible. Yogi Sunil's wisdom and patience are extraordinary. Forever grateful."

Nadia VolkovRussia — now teaching in Berlin
★★★★★

"I quit my corporate job to do this program. Best decision of my life. Within 3 months of graduating I was teaching full time, running online classes, and leading my first retreat in Bali. The career support from Medhya Laya is genuine and effective."
