Join us at Nepal Yoga Home and take a meaningful step toward greater well-being, self-discovery, and professional growth. Many yoga teachers learn to energize a class.

Students’ Views on Our YTTC
The Harmonious Blend of Yin Yoga and Ayurvedic Healing
Our 100-Hour Yin Yoga and Massage Training at Nepal Yoga Home combines long-held Yin postures with traditional Ayurvedic Abhyanga. While sustained Yin poses target your fascia and connective tissues, daily Ayurvedic massage releases muscle tension and restores deep balance. Set beside the peaceful Nagarjun forest in Kathmandu, this immersive routine calms your mind, nourishes your body, and deepens your practice.
What the 100 Hour Yin Yoga and massage Training Course Covers
The 100 hour Yin Yoga course at Nepal Yoga Home works as a yin yoga teacher training with massage. You learn to lead Yin classes and meet Ayurvedic massage Therapist as both a receiver and a giver. Sessions cover Yin postures, Alignment, pranayama, meditation and Yin philosophy, and you receive one massage class every day.
Between sessions you rest, read and let the body settle. That pace is deliberate, because Yin works best when the nervous system has room to slow down.
The school offers the best combination of yoga and massage training in Nepal with accommodation on the same campus, so you can stay for the whole program without daily travel. This Yin Yoga and Ayurvedic massage keeps your attention on practice from the first morning to the last evening.
What Is Ayurvedic Massage?
Ayurvedic massage is a traditional healing practice rooted in Himalayan country Nepal, the ancient holistic health system of the Himalayan range of Nepal. It commonly uses warm plant-based or herbal oils and flowing, rhythmic massage techniques to encourage relaxation, ease muscular tension, nourish the skin, and promote a sense of physical and mental well-being. Abhyanga, the traditional full-body oil massage, is one of the best-known practices in Ayurveda.
According to Ayurvedic principles, massage helps support balance among the body's three fundamental energies, known as the doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. In our Yin Yoga and Ayurvedic Massage Training, you will explore these traditional principles and learn practical massage techniques that complement Yin Yoga by encouraging relaxation, easing feelings of tension, and helping you develop a deeper awareness of your body. This holistic approach brings together the complementary traditions of yoga and Ayurveda massage to create a nurturing experience for body, mind, and overall well-being.
What Is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that emphasizes stillness, mindfulness, and holding postures for an extended period, typically around two to five minutes or longer, according to individual comfort and ability.
Unlike dynamic yoga styles that focus on continuous movement and muscular engagement, Yin Yoga encourages the body to relax into supported postures, gently applying stress to deeper connective tissues, including fascia, ligaments, and the tissues around joints.
Through mindful breathing and patient awareness, practitioners can develop flexibility, improve mobility, cultivate body awareness, and release feelings of physical and mental tension.
Beyond its physical benefits, Yin Yoga offers a profound opportunity to calm the mind, observe emotions, and reconnect with the present moment. By remaining still and breathing consciously, practitioners develop patience, self-awareness, emotional balance, and inner peace.
Yin Yoga can complement more active yoga practices, meditation, and healthy lifestyle routines, creating a balance between movement and stillness, effort and surrender. With suitable modifications and guidance, it can be adapted to different experience levels, making it a valuable practice for anyone seeking greater flexibility, relaxation, mindfulness, and a deeper connection between body, breath, and mind.
Certification
We are a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance. Upon completion of your training, you can register your certificate with Yoga Alliance to become a Registered Yoga Teacher. Registration with Yoga Alliance is voluntary.
Why Combine Yin Yoga with Ayurvedic Massage?

Two Slow Practices That Calm the Nervous System: Both Yin Yoga and traditional Ayurvedic massage encourage deep rest, helping release stored physical tension and quiet an overactive mind.

A Shared Root in Yoga and Ayurveda: Yoga and Ayurveda are traditional sister sciences, and teachers in Nepal have long taught them together as part of a complete daily healing routine.

-
Foundational Training: This course provides introductory massage skills to complement your Yin practice; note that becoming a fully certified professional massage therapist requires longer, dedicated study, such as a three-week or one-month program.

Massage Built Into Every Day
You receive an Ayurvedic massage daily, so you learn the effects of the work from the table before you learn to give it. That first-hand experience sharpens your sense of pressure, pace and warmth once your own practice sessions begin.
Yin Taught With Alignment and its foundation
Alignment classes explain why one posture feels different in every body, and Yin yoga theory gives the practice its context. You leave with a reason behind each cue and not a memorized script.
A Quiet Campus Near Kathmandu
Nepal Yoga Home stands beside Nagarjun forest, about 5 km from Thamel, so the setting stays quiet while the city remains close. The school has run residential courses since 2008, and past students often describe a welcoming, family-style atmosphere.
The Yin Yoga Experience
A Yin class looks simple from the outside and feels demanding from the inside.
How a Yin Session Runs
A session moves through a small number of seated, reclined and folded postures. Bolsters, blocks and straps support the body, and you stay in each shape for several minutes. The teacher guides your breath and attention and leaves long spaces of silence.
What You Notice During Long Holds
Sensation arrives slowly. Many students feel restlessness first, then a gradual softening through the hips and spine. You learn to tell a useful stretch from a warning signal and to back off when the body asks for it.
Learning to Teach Stillness
Teaching Yin means cueing less and trusting the posture, and this Yin Yoga Training builds that habit. You practice timing holds, offering variations and choosing words that keep students turned inward, and peer teaching gives you feedback inside a safe group.
Props and Safe Practice
Props make long holds safe and comfortable. Bolsters take the weight of the torso, blocks bring the floor closer to the body and blankets pad sensitive joints. You learn how to set up each prop, how to spot strain in a student and when to shorten a hold.
Safety also means knowing when Yin does not suit a student. Acute injuries, pregnancy and some joint conditions call for different postures, so you practice the questions to ask before class begins.
Daily Ayurvedic Massage Training
The massage thread runs through the whole course and gives the training its second voice.
What a Daily Massage Session Involves
Each session uses warm oil and slow, rhythmic strokes across the major regions of the body, and you finish with a period of rest. As a daily Ayurvedic massage and yin yoga course, the program treats every session as part of the curriculum, so repetition lets you track how your sleep, mood and muscle tension change.
Learning From the Receiving End
Receiving a massage every day teaches you what skilled touch feels like: even pressure, a steady rhythm and warm hands. You compare notes with classmates and teachers, and those notes feed directly into your practical sessions.
From Receiving to Giving
Later in the course you move from the table to the practice sessions. You learn basic strokes, positioning and the pacing of a calm massage, and you work in pairs under guidance.

What You Will Learn in the 100 Hour Yin Yoga Course
The syllabus of this 100 hour Yin Yoga course splits into yoga content and massage content, with practice time for both. Besides this you will learn meditation, breathing, chanting and relaxation.
Yin Yoga Curriculum
- Yin postures:
- Yoga alignment
- Pranayama techniques
- Meditation practices for stillness and attention
- Yoga philosophy and chanting
Yin yoga posture
Our Yin Yoga training explores the purpose and practice of each posture, helping you understand how different positions apply gentle, sustained stress to connective tissues and influence mobility. Through practical demonstrations, you will develop the skills to enter, hold, and release postures safely, using props such as bolsters, blocks, cushions, and blankets to provide support, comfort, and appropriate variations. This approach prepares you to guide Yin Yoga sessions with greater confidence, sensitivity, and awareness.
Yoga Alignment
Yin Yoga alignment begins with an essential principle: every body is unique, and there is no single perfect shape for every posture. Differences in bone structure, hip socket depth, joint mobility, and individual anatomy influence how each person moves and experiences a pose. In our Yin Yoga Teacher Training, you will learn to recognize these differences, distinguish between muscular stretching and natural joint compression, and adapt postures using props and variations. This knowledge helps you guide students safely, respect their individual limits, and create a more inclusive and effective Yin Yoga practice.
Pranayama: Exploring 10 Essential Breathing Techniques
Discover the transformative power of breath through 10 different pranayama techniques designed to complement your Yin Yoga practice and deepen your mind-body connection. You will learn traditional breathing practices, including Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Bhramari (humming bee breath), Ujjayi, Sheetali, Sheetkari, and other techniques to cultivate breath awareness, calm the mind, and support relaxation and concentration. Through guided practice, you will understand the methods, benefits, precautions, and appropriate modifications for each technique, helping you incorporate conscious breathing into your personal practice and guide others safely and confidently.
Meditation Practices for Stillness and Attention
Meditation is an essential part of our Yin Yoga training, helping students cultivate inner stillness, mindful awareness, and a deeper connection between body, breath, and mind. Through guided practices such as breath awareness, mindfulness meditation, body scanning, mantra meditation, and observing thoughts without judgment, you will learn to quiet mental distractions, develop concentration, and remain present in moments of stillness. These practices complement the long-held postures of Yin Yoga, allowing you to explore patience, self-awareness, and inner balance while deepening your personal meditation practice and gaining the confidence to guide others toward relaxation and mindfulness. Our meditation page explains the wider approach to meditation that runs through every course at the school.
Yoga Philosophy and Chanting
Explore the timeless wisdom of yoga philosophy and the transformative power of sacred sound to deepen your Yin Yoga practice beyond physical postures. Through the study of traditional yogic teachings, mindfulness, self-awareness, and the principles of balance and non-attachment, you will discover how yoga can become a meaningful way of life. Experience mantra chanting and the vibration of sacred sounds to encourage concentration, inner calm, and a deeper connection with yourself. These practices bring together ancient wisdom, meditation, and mindful living, helping you cultivate patience, compassion, and inner peace while enriching your personal practice and future yoga teaching.
Practice Teaching and Feedback
You plan and lead short Yin segments, then receive feedback from teachers and classmates. Repeated practice builds the timing and calm voice that Yin classes need.
Ayurvedic Massage Curriculum
Our Ayurvedic Massage Curriculum introduces you to the fundamental principles of traditional Ayurvedic massage and its role in promoting relaxation and holistic well-being. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, you will develop essential massage skills while learning to work with care, awareness, and respect for individual comfort.
- Fundamentals of Ayurvedic Massage: Explore basic Ayurvedic principles, traditional massage oils, and the purpose of therapeutic touch.
- Essential Massage Techniques: Learn practical massage methods for the back, arms, legs, neck, and shoulders.
- Body Awareness and Mindful Touch: Develop sensitivity to pressure, movement, posture, and comfort for both the giver and receiver.
- Relaxation and Preparation: Practice simple techniques to create a calm, comfortable environment before beginning a massage.
- Guided Hands-On Practice: Participate in supervised practice sessions with classmates to develop confidence, coordination, and practical skills.
This introductory training complements your Yin Yoga practice by combining mindful stillness with nurturing touch, helping you create a more enriching and relaxing wellness experience. It provides foundational skills rather than a full professional massage qualification.
Skills You Bring to Your Own Classes
After this Yin Yoga training you can design a session that opens with breath work, moves through Yin postures and closes with a short partner massage routine. Workshops and retreats use that structure well.
Accommodation, Meals & Facilities
Rest matters as much as practice in a course like this, so the campus gives both room.

Why Study Yin Yoga and Massage in Nepal?
Place shapes a slow practice, and Kathmandu suits Yin Yoga Training in Nepal well.
A Himalayan Setting for Slow Practice
The campus sits at the edge of a forest, away from the busiest roads, and the valley around it holds temples and monasteries within easy reach. Anyone weighing a yin yoga teacher training in Kathmandu will find that calm makes it easier to stay with long holds and silence.
Yoga and Massage Training Nepal Students Can Reach Easily
The airport lies about 10 km away and Thamel about 5 km, so travel stays simple. Spring from March to May and autumn from September to November bring clear skies and mild days, while the monsoon arrives around June and runs into September.
Yoga and Ayurveda Traditions in Daily Life
Yoga and Ayurveda both belong to the everyday health traditions of the Himalayan region. Studying Yin Yoga Training in Nepal puts you near teachers and practitioners who grew up with those traditions.
A Yoga Retreat in Nepal Beyond the Classroom
Many students pair the course with time in the valley. A walk through the forest, a visit to a nearby temple or a quiet morning in the garden turns the course into a full yoga retreat in Nepal.
Students who want to stay longer can look at our one month yoga retreat in Nepal.
Teachers and Certification
Knowing who teaches the course and what you receive at the end helps you plan with confidence.
Your Certificate
When you complete the 100 hour Yin Yoga teacher training in Nepal, you receive a certificate from Nepal Yoga Home, a school certified by Yoga Alliance International.
