What to expect from your daily schedule

Most yoga teacher training programmes follow a structured daily routine regardless of month. Your days typically begin at 6–7am with meditation or pranayama, followed by morning asana practice. Theory sessions, teaching practice, and anatomy workshops fill the afternoon, with evenings free for reflection, journalling, or exploring your destination.

In May, the global YTT landscape is pre-peak, strong programme availability. Weather conditions vary significantly by destination, so check the specific country or region page for local climate details before booking.
