Yoga Instructor & Meditation Guide

Updated October 2026

Jivan Parivartan teaches a 200-hour yoga teacher training at its centre in Tarkeshwor, Kathmandu. The centre was founded in 2021 by Maa Nisha Kabir. The course is taught by Anupam Chidananda, our Yoga Instructor and Meditation Guide. He teaches meditation, mudra practice, mantra sadhana and yogic philosophy.

The course lasts 21 days and starts on the 1st of every month. Groups are small. Teaching is in English and Hindi. It suits beginners as well as experienced practitioners. At the end you receive a 200-hour certificate of completion from Jivan Parivartan.

The 200 hours are split into asana (75 hours), meditation (25), pranayama and bandha (25), mantra and relaxation (25), philosophy and anatomy (25), and detox and teaching practice (25). The asana work covers Hatha, the Ashtanga Primary Series and Vinyasa, with an introduction to Kundalini. You learn how to enter, hold, adjust and modify each posture, and how to teach it to other people.

A training day starts early with meditation and pranayama, followed by asana practice. Theory (philosophy, anatomy and teaching method) comes mid-morning. After a lunch break there is time for self-study, then a longer afternoon session of asana and teaching practice. The course also includes an introductory singing bowl session, one monastery visit and a silent walk.

The fee covers tuition, a course manual and two textbooks, mats, blocks, straps and cushions, all certification fees, the singing bowl session, the monastery visit and silent walk, a welcome kit, WiFi at the centre, airport pickup and drop to your hotel, and help arranging a hotel in Thamel. The course is non-residential, so accommodation and meals are not included. Most students stay in Thamel. On-site rooms are opening soon. Flights and the Nepal visa are not included. We do not publish the fee, so ask us for the current fee and the next start date.

Looking for yoga classes in Kathmandu? We do not run drop-in yoga classes. Yoga at our centre is taught in two ways: the 200-hour teacher training, and the Wellness and Spiritual Retreat, which is 1, 3 or 5 days with gentle yoga every morning alongside meditation and sound healing. If you want to practise yoga with us for a day or a few days, the retreat is the place to start. If you want to learn to teach, choose the 200-hour course.
