Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A yoga retreat is a short, immersive wellness break focused on daily practice, rest, and self-care — typically 3 to 7 days — with no certification involved. A Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is a longer, structured certification course (100–300 hours) that qualifies you to teach. The Hatha Yogashala offers both.
