No prior teaching experience is required for our 200 hour yoga teacher training. The program is designed for sincere beginners as well as experienced practitioners. We recommend a regular self-practice of three to six months before joining, but motivated beginners are welcome.
Yoga Alliance recommends a minimum of two years of personal practice before teaching, but quality of practice matters more than duration. At least two to three years of regular practice gives you enough experience to teach simple sequences, joint movements, asana, pranayama and meditation with confidence.
Most international students attend on an e-Tourist Visa (eTV), which you apply for online before you travel. It is valid for the length of a standard 200-hour course. Requirements and validity vary by nationality, so check your country’s current rules. Our team guides you through the process and provides any enrolment letter you need during registration.
Courses run year-round. The most comfortable seasons are September to November and February to April, when the weather is mild. May and June are hot, and the July–August monsoon is greener but wetter. Rishikesh sits at altitude on the Ganga, so evenings stay pleasant even in warmer months.
On successful completion you receive our Yoga Alliance–registered RYS 200 certificate. You then create a profile on the Yoga Alliance website, upload your certificate, pay their registration fee, and once verified you can use the RYT 200 credential to teach worldwide. We provide everything you need to complete the registration.
