SOUL STUDIES
200 HR YTT

OCTOBER 19TH - NOV 2ND 2025

A self-paced, hybrid learning model that will have you become a soul-led, Yoga Alliance accredited teacher in 2025.

Soul Studies is more than a teacher training — it’s a space to return to yourself.

The Soul Studies Yoga Teacher Training is an intentionally soul-led journey, delivered by deeply embodied facilitators and rooted in authenticity and ancient wisdom—honouring the rich lineage of yoga while showing you how to integrate these teachings into the modern world.

After graduating, you won’t just be another certified yoga teacher...
you’ll step into your role as an authentic, aware, and respectful facilitator of yoga, breathwork, and
meditation, carrying forward the depth of these sacred traditions.

IMMERSION IN INDIA

October 19 – November 2, 2025 | 13 nights / 14 days
Step into full presence with this immersive, experiential phase of the training. Held on the oceanfront in Goa and led by Kirsten Nielsen and Tal Derhy, this is where the teachings come alive — and where you grow into your voice as a teacher.

This phase includes:

Daily group sadhana (asana, meditation, breathwork)

Experiential learning and creative sequencing

Voice work, cueing, and space holding

Practice teaching with real-time feedback

Reflection and integration in sacred surroundings

Many teacher trainings stay at the surface — focused on form, flow, and technique.
Soul Studies goes deeper — into the heart, the history, and the soul of the practice.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

BUSINESS OF YOGA

If you’ve been waiting for a calling or have felt the pull to deepen your existing practice, this is the training for you.

OUR SACRED SETTING

Nestled between lush jungle and the wide, open sea, Goa offers the perfect backdrop for deep practice and inner transformation. Known for its relaxed energy, vibrant culture, and connection to the sacred, this part of India holds both softness and strength — an invitation to come home to yourself.

Our retreat space is peaceful and intentionally designed, set right on the ocean with two open-air yoga shalas — one nestled in the garden, the other facing the sea. Here, you’ll rise with the sun, move to the rhythm of the waves, and rest beneath palm trees as you integrate the teachings. The land itself becomes part of the practice — steady, spacious, and alive.

This is more than a destination. It’s a sacred pause.

All of beach huts have an ocean view, with a private veranda for outdoor seating. The rooms have stylish interiors with clean simple designs, all made of natural materials and touches of Indian fabrics. They feature comfortable king size and twin beds, A/C, ceiling fans, mosquito nets and modern ensuite bathrooms with hot water showers.
