100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in the Spiritual Heart of Rishikesh

The 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikul Yogshala is an immersive residential course that covers the essentials of yoga in a structured, practice-heavy format. You'll start each day with Ashtanga Yoga at 6:40 AM, following a 15-minute herbal tea ritual that sets a calm, focused tone. Mornings are spent on Pranayama, philosophy, and alignment workshops, while afternoons bring mantra chanting and Hatha Yoga classes. Evenings feature meditation or Yoga Nidra, followed by self-study time before an early night.

The curriculum is designed to give you a well-rounded foundation. You'll study the Yamas and Niyamas, dive into anatomy as it applies to yoga, and learn practical teaching methods. The school's philosophy is rooted in traditional Indian yoga, and the instructors—including Bipin Baloni, Yogi Prashant Ji, and Deepa Ji—are well-known in the circuit. They bring years of experience and a teaching style that's both knowledgeable and approachable.

What sets this training apart is its location. Rishikul Yogshala is nestled in Jonk village, right by the Ganges, with the Himalayas as a backdrop. The atmosphere is naturally peaceful, with temple bells and the river's flow creating a constant reminder of why you're there. The school itself is comfortable, with clean rooms, hot water, and free Wi-Fi, but the real focus is on the practice.

You'll be part of a small group of up to 20 students from around the world, creating a supportive, community feel. There are no formal days off, but the intensive schedule is designed to build discipline and consistency. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how to teach or simply deepen your own practice, and you'll have made friends who share your interest in yoga.
