65-Hour AromaYin Teacher Training
This unique aromatherapy teacher training in India blends essential oil therapy with the meditative stillness of Yin Yoga Therapy™, offering a powerful, integrative approach to healing. Designed as a 65-hour Yoga Alliance-accredited aromatherapy course, this program is part of both the 300-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training and the 700-hour Yin Yoga Therapy™ professional diploma.
Set at Nalanda Retreat, Goa—one of the leading venues for aromatherapy and yin training in India—this 1-week immersion introduces you to the subtle art of pairing plant medicine with long-held Yin postures, acupressure points, and energy meridians. You’ll learn to create safe, intentional aroma therapy experiences that support physical, emotional, and energetic transformation.
Whether you’re a yoga teacher, bodyworker, or wellness professional looking to become a certified aromatherapist, this program offers a balance of theory, hands-on learning, and guided application rooted in both ancient Daoist wisdom and modern aromatherapy education and training.
