The Yoga Teacher Training was a profoundly enriching experience that went far beyond a superficial yoga training. Jeenal’s clarity, her deep knowledge, and her ability to convey complex ideas in a grounded and human way deeply touched me. Her teachings integrate modern neuroscience with the depth of yogic tradition in a way that feels authentic and applicable to everyday life. It was a powerful reminder of what yoga truly is: connection, awareness, and transformation. I am truly grateful to have found WLYA, where yoga is taught not just as a physical practice, but as a living philosophy that brings depth, balance, and meaning to my life. I wish that everyone searching for true depth in yoga may find their way to Jeenal & WLYA

The experience has been truly life-changing. The depth and quality of the teachings are remarkable — rich in knowledge, wisdom, and authenticity. Jeenal and her courses have played a pivotal role not only in transforming my personal journey but also in shaping me into a committed and professional support for my own students. I feel immense gratitude towards WLYA, towards yoga itself, and especially towards Jeenal — who has become not only my beloved teacher but also a lifelong friend.

I spent a month at Wise Living Yoga Academy with Jeenal studying to become a Yoga teacher. My daughter and I came together to learn and it was a deeply touching experience. It was intense and transformational and we learnt so much. It was an authentic experience. The food was fantastic, prepared with love. It was vegan food which was absolutely delicious. We learnt how Yoga fit into the tradition of Indian philosophy, anatomy, nutrition, asanas, lesson planning and execution. Jeenal is a superb teacher and very patient. She and her staff have created a calm, serene, happy environment. In-between the hard work, we had a lot of fun being creative and challenging ourselves and each other. Overall, it was a phenomenal experience for me. I made new friends and my body transformed. My knee problems improved and I was able to manage postures with ease that I had never attempted before. I learnt a lot. I can highly recommend Wise Living and Jeenal.

Wow, here we are after a 4 week journey with Jeenal from Mumbai and WLYA for the 200 hour YTTC. As a teacher, Jeenal brings so much depth and sincerity. The course is structured very methodically to provide the utmost authenticity. Beyond Hatha Yoga Asanas, we dove deep into Classical Yoga Philosophy, studying the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the epic tale of the Bhagavad Gita. Jeenal knowledge of philosophy and Sanskrit runs deep and wide, and she shares her knowledge with such passion. I am leaving feeling so inspired. I did the course with my mother which was very special. It was a very intense journey for both of us but worth while and our relationship grew stronger as a result. And of course, how could I not mention the food! Jeenal brought her love for healthy vegan food to the course. We were treated to a colourful variety of vegan Ayurvedic and locally inspired dishes every day, prepared by the sweetest Jazz and Nong. I will dearly miss the overnight oats, soups, the sweet roast pumpkin and all the salads. Thank you Jeenal and everyone involved (Nong, Jazz and Bharat) for a transformative learning experience. Namaste 🙏

I had an amazing time completing my 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training with Wise Living Yoga Academy ✨ The experience felt genuine, and Jeenal generously shares so much insightful knowledge on the traditional yoga philosophy and asanas. If you're interested in exploring a holistic approach to yoga rooted in classic philosophy and Indian traditions, I wholeheartedly recommend this.

Thank you Jeenal for guiding me through this last month of Yoga Teacher Training 🙏🧡 it’s been such an intensive learning experience, where I got to immerse myself into the teachings of philosophy, lifestyle and asanas every day. With your help and beautiful offerings of meditation, relaxation, incredibly nourishing, soul-warming vegan food and the serene surroundings I have made it to the end of the course. But I can truly feel that this is only the beginning of a continuous journey based on genuine knowledge that will accompany and support me for the rest of my life. 🪷 For anyone wondering where to start their authentic Yoga journey, I cannot recommend this academy enough!

My sister, my daughter, and I traveled all the way from the United States to Chiang Mai, Thailand to attend a yoga retreat at Wise Living Yoga Academy and meet Jeenal, a godsend of a teacher. Learning from a teacher rooted in the yoga tradition and culture, with the proper training and lineage, was of utmost importance to me because I wanted a truly authentic yoga experience. Jeenal provided and delivered that, and so much more. For so long, I have wanted to experience traditional yoga and I feel so fortunate to have experienced the Nervous System reset session with Jeenal. The clarity and the peace of mind that this practice has brought into my life surpass anything that I’ve experienced before. I realized that yoga is not just an exercise for the body, but for the mind and for the soul too. Jeenal even gifted me a beautiful keepsake from her personal library: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a book I had wanted for years. I realize now that I was meant to receive it from my teacher. Another thing I deeply loved and respected about Wise Living Yoga Academy is that the entire retreat was completely vegan. As someone who has been vegan for 9 years, I had never experienced anything like it. All of this made the experience even more meaningful. Not only did Jeenal educate us, but she also inspired us, and gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Wise Living Yoga Academy is truly set apart, and I am so deeply grateful for the beautiful connection that we made with Jeenal.

I am so grateful for my beautiful experience with Jeenal at Wise Living Yoga Academy in Chiang Mai. The nervous system reset yoga session provided me with the calmness, peace, and healing my body needed, and I left feeling refreshed, balanced, and elevated. Jeenal is such a sweet, knowledgeable soul who has a beautiful way of teaching traditional yoga and showing how amazingly impactful it is for your mind and body. Her retreats are top-tier! She is a phenomenal teacher who has created a lovely space for you to immerse yourself in yoga. I felt comfortable, safe, and supported during her sessions. I absolutely love that she provides vegan meals, which adds another layer of uniqueness to her retreats. I’ve grown to have a deeper appreciation for yoga, and I am so eager to learn more. My heart was so full upon completion, and I am so happy to have met someone as special as Jeenal. I look forward to my next visit!

Had a highly stressful interaction with the owner regarding accommodation arrangements for her school's students. Despite being explicitly asked not to visit my private property prior to a confirmed agreement, she showed up unannounced, bypassed boundaries, and made excessive demands while aggressively pushing for extreme discounts. Very high-maintenance behavior beneath a polite exterior. Unprofessional business conduct and a lack of respect for basic boundaries.

I had an opportunity to join a yoga and kirtan group hosted by Jeenal at Away retreat resort. The yoga sessions were led by Jeenal and the kirtan session were led by Brian and Serena, the travelling musicians from Italy. Jeenal is truly a wonderful teacher, very kind and insightful. We started the day with some games to connect with our inner child and get to learn more about fellow participants in the group. Then we had a gentle yoga session to stretch some muscles and connect with our bodies. For lunch, we had a 4-course vegan lunch, which was very healthy and delicious. Following lunch, we had a yoga nidra and pranayama session for digestive system and nervous reset. She also prepared some herbal tea for us during the break, which was so refreshing. We ended the day with a kirtan circle, singing and dancing together. After a soft and heartfelt day, I felt rejuvenated and couldnt've asked for a better way to spend my Sunday. Thank you Jeenal!

I completed my 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training with Wise Living Yoga Academy, and it was an exceptional and deeply meaningful experience. The Ashram in Chiang Mai is a beautiful and calming environment that naturally supports reflection, learning, and personal growth. The surroundings create an atmosphere of peace and comfort that enhances every aspect of the training. The nutritional element was one of the most powerful parts of the programme. The Ayurvedic and cleansing meals were nourishing, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared to support both physical and mental wellbeing. They helped me develop a mindful approach to nourishment and life, and I have continued to integrate and implement these habits into my daily routine. Jeenal is an outstanding teacher and mentor. Her knowledge is extensive and rooted in authentic yoga philosophy and practice. She teaches with great patience, clarity, and genuine passion. Her dedication to her students is evident in the way she guides, supports, and encourages growth throughout the entire journey. I felt inspired and empowered by her commitment to maintaining the traditional and authentic approach that the Academy is known for. The training itself was exceptional. The yoga practice and teachings were delivered step by step, allowing me to genuinely understand and connect with the body–mind relationship. Meditation, breath-work, and daily practice supported a deep sense of gratitude, grounding, and lifelong learning. The philosophical discussions and the open-minded conversations with people from around the world created a meaningful and inclusive learning environment, further enriching the traditional and authentic nature of the programme. The sense of community within the training was another highlight. There was a strong feeling of connection, support, and shared purpose among everyone involved. The environment encourages openness, reflection, and transformation of both mind and body. It truly feels like a place where people come together to learn, grow, and reconnect with themselves. Wise Living Yoga Academy continues to offer events and courses that extend the learning experience beyond the teacher training, which I find incredibly valuable. I highly recommend this Academy to anyone seeking a traditional, enriching, and life-enhancing yoga education.

I'm pleased to find this yoga session, I have done a few group meditations with breath work, then some yoga sessions with two other different teachers who offer open classes, and also tried to follow another yoga teachers online, none of these experiences striked me to keep putting more into it. I don't really feel comfortable with a large group of people in colorful yoga pants while the teacher is aiming at achieving posts, didn't feel calm that way, and at the other guided meditation sessions, I didn't feel easy to be put on the spot to share, one session caught me off guard for fitting into the flow of sharing bad experiences, for the online learning I didn't feel the connection there. None of these is the case with Jeenal's sessions, it is gentle and peaceful here, the breathing work showed my way out from my intensed body, and I could actually talk with people a little bit without over evaluating. What keeps me going back to Jeenal class are these reasons: 1. A small group of students, five or six people. 2. A well tuned structure of yoga breath work integrated with mild stretches for beginners. 3. Explanations on each of the yoga exercises and modified version for the needs of each student. We had a lady who had legs pain and she got extra care on how to join in with us by sitting on a comfortable chair. 4. An experienced teacher Jeenal who observes your needs and will check if you're doing too much instead of pushing you into a post. 5. It is always something to learn when the time to ask questions, yoga related philosophy will be integrated into the exercises. But it is not forced lecture, only when some related questions get asked by someone. In a way it's safe ground to interact with people you see the first time. 6. Sessions take place in a nice resort with free vegan Khaosoi and the lunch break is also meditating. 7. Jeenal has a calming voice and manner, and her ballad and chanting brings me home feeling. Guilded meditation part chim in very well,it is not too long for students to lose track in their own thinking. I'd say I'm lucky to find a real yoga teacher, it's a beautiful journey to restart yoga with Jeenal.

Where you train matters just as much as the curriculum. Chiang Mai offers a focused and spiritual environment for yoga as compared to busy tourist destinations. 

Your home during the training will be the beautiful Away Chiang Mai Thapae Resort, a serene boutique resort on a quiet temple-lined street near the historic Thapae Gate in the Old Town, with airport pick-up only 20 minutes from Chiang Mai International Airport.

This is more than a destination – it’s a chance to study in an environment that supports reflection, discipline, and transformation.

Yes. Beginners and students with limited flexibility are welcome. Our training is designed to help you build a strong foundation step by step, with guidance, proper alignment, and personal support throughout the course. 

Many students join as beginners and leave stronger, more flexible, and confident – what matters most is your willingness to learn and grow.

Yes. Our 28-day immersion is designed as both a professional launchpad and a life-changing personal journey. 

Many graduates go on to teach classes, work as freelance instructors, open their own studios, or integrate yoga into careers such as therapy, coaching, and holistic health. 

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence, knowledge, and practical teaching skills to either start teaching or deepen your own practice. This training prepares you to grow, lead, and apply yoga in real life.

At Wise Living Yoga, we keep our student-to-teacher ratio intentionally small – only 3 to 10 students per batch, mentored by Jeenal, our Lead Teacher.

This isn’t a factory style training with many rotating teachers, it is a one-on-one level mentorship in a small, dedicated group. 

With personalized guidance throughout your 28-day journey, we ensure that your practice is deeply understood and provide a safe, focused, and truly transformative learning experience that large, commercial schools simply can’t offer.

At Away Chiang Mai Thapae Resort, high-speed fiber-optic Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort and in all rooms. 

However, our training also includes a gentle Mobile Detox approach – we encourage students to limit device use during training hours to support focus, mental clarity, and a deeper yoga experience. 

Dedicated time is provided each day to use the internet and stay in touch with loved ones, so you can stay connected while still fully immersing yourself in the training.

Yes, absolutely. Our meals are prepared as a balanced ashram-style group menu, designed to support physical health and overall wellbeing. We accommodate gluten-free diets and allergies, and our trained kitchen team follows strict cross-contamination protocols for your safety. 

For specific dietary needs or additional requirements, separate preparation and premium ingredients may involve a small extra charge. 

Before arrival, we personally consult with you to understand your needs and ensure you are fully supported and nourished throughout your stay.

Early Bird Discounts are available for students who plan ahead and want to secure a spot in our small group. 

Our tuition is already set at a highly competitive rate and includes 4-star boutique accommodation, organic meals, and direct mentorship from an experienced master teacher – something many programs charge extra for. 

To maintain our standards, we do not offer long-term payment plans, but a deposit is enough to reserve your spot. This is not just a course,  it’s premium yoga education and retreat experience at exceptional value.

This training is more than a certification, it is a complete personal and professional transformation.

You’ll learn to reset the nervous system and gut health. Learn meditative practices, manage stress through movement, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, develop creative communication and leadership skills for life. 

You’ll learn to apply yogic philosophy as practical psychology for emotional balance, embrace a plant-based healthy lifestyle and become part of a global community.

You don’t just leave with a certificate, you leave with tools for self-mastery, wellbeing, and lifelong growth.

A Note on Alternative Accommodations

To ensure every student can join our program, we have secured a limited number of beautiful alternative accommodations in the rare event that our on-site rooms are fully booked.

The alternative accommodations are simply a short, easy walk from our main venue. They are chosen for their standards of comfort and cleanliness, ensuring a peaceful retreat located just steps from your training venue.

You can feel confident that all of your training sessions and meals will still take place at the training venue. This thoughtful arrangement allows you to fully immerse yourself in your yoga journey without any hassle or inconvenience. You can enjoy the best of both worlds: world-class training and a truly authentic stay.
