About the Course
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India
Immerse yourself in the traditional teachings of yoga with a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh at Rishikul Yogshala. This 23-day residential program is designed for beginners, dedicated practitioners, and those who wish to develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to begin teaching yoga.
Located in the spiritual surroundings of Rishikesh, close to the sacred Ganga River and the foothills of the Himalayas, the program offers an opportunity to experience yoga in one of its traditional homes while living and studying alongside an international community of practitioners.
The training combines traditional yogic knowledge with practical teacher training. Students study Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga along with pranayama, meditation, Yoga Nidra, yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, alignment and adjustments, mantra, mudras, Shatkarma, and teaching methodology.
A strong emphasis is placed on understanding not only how to practise yoga postures, but also how to teach them safely and effectively. Students learn principles of alignment, verbal instruction, hands-on adjustments, class sequencing, demonstration, lesson planning, and communication.
The residential experience includes accommodation, daily vegetarian meals, yoga study materials, practical training, workshops, and opportunities for self-study and cultural experiences. The course also includes sessions exploring Ayurveda, sound healing, and other traditional aspects of yogic living.
The program is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. No previous teaching experience is required, making it an accessible starting point for those who wish to develop their personal practice and pursue yoga teaching professionally.
Upon successful completion, students receive a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification and can pursue registration as an RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance, subject to Yoga Alliance's registration requirements.
