We are a Yoga Teacher Training Center rooted in Indian yogic tradition. Our name, ‘Sampoorna’, is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘full’, ‘total’, or ‘absolute’. And it truly reflects what we aim to bring to our students through our yoga courses and retreats.

    I attended Sampoorna in Oct 2023 for my 200hrs ytt. I completed their hybrid course, which is a great option for anyone looking for flexibility - it is a combination of online study and 7-14days in person. The great thing about this is you can begin your studies straight away, you get access to the online material as soon as you register and then you have 1 year to complete the course including the in person section and exams. The school is set in a beautiful location in Agonda Beach, Goa with hilltop shalas looking out over the ocean! The standard of teaching is brilliant, classes are well planned and detailed. You feel well supported by the senior teachers and karma yogis working at the school - all of which are very knowledgeable and experienced and always happy to help. There is a real sense of community at Sampoorna, they really make you feel at home and it’s amazing the bond you make with everyone there, it really does feel like a yoga family! I can’t talk about Sampoorna without mentioning the food and the amazing kitchen staff! The food is so tasty, healthy and fresh with different meals and lots of options available every day. Choosing a school for a teacher training course can be overwhelming as there are so many options available but I am very happy with my choice and would recommend Sampoorna to anyone looking to take their teacher training in India.

    Sampoorna excels in its facilities and in its cuisine. The teachers, although young, were very knowledgeable. As the remaining older person (in my 50s), two other older students dropped out, I was disappointed that I did not get the kind of help (progressions to difficult poses) that I thought I would at a yoga school. After some time I reached out and got advice from the Karma yogi and she guided me. All in all I grew as a person and as a yoga practitioner. I am grateful that I went to Sampoorna.

    Sampoorna Yoga undoubtedly delivered an exceptional, 10/10 rated experience. Without reservation, I would highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to attain their yoga certification abroad. The staff at Sampoorna Yoga were nothing short of extraordinary, with each instructor offering a warm welcome and unwavering support. The diversity of expertise among the instructors, spanning various modalities and subjects, ensured that any specific queries were met with precision and guidance. The program itself demonstrated impeccable organization, flowing seamlessly with a natural rhythm. It provided comprehensive coverage of essential topics, leaving no room for any sense of inadequacy. One departed with a profound sense of competence. Furthermore, the school offers a range of accommodations, each characterized by cleanliness and charm. Throughout my stay, I consistently felt comfortable and safe. A delightful surprise was the culinary experience at the school, serving as a notable highlight of my time there. Agonda Beach itself, the backdrop to this transformative journey, is a picturesque coastal town. It radiates a sense of community warmth that complements the splendid beaches, delightful shopping options, and local culinary treasures, making it a truly enriching experience during one's leisure time. In sum, my experience with Sampoorna Yoga left me utterly devoid of any negative feedback. Looking back, it stands as the most joyous chapter of my life to date. Sampoorna guarantees to equip you with knowledge, fulfillment, and an enduring enthusiasm for your yoga pursuits.

    I had a life changing experience at Sampoorna Yoga, the yoga training was very in-depth and I personally got a lot out of the practices and theory. The staff were incredible, so kind and caring and we were well taken care of with food, drinks and rest.
