23-Day 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

The training is structured around a disciplined daily schedule, six days a week, with one full day off for rest or excursions. Mornings begin with Shatkarma cleansing, mantra chanting, and a Hatha and Iyengar practice, followed by philosophy, anatomy, and alignment sessions. Afternoons include self-practice, vinyasa flow, breathwork, and meditation. Evenings often feature Ganga Aarti or kirtan, and the weekends offer self-practice, chakra and meditation sessions, or a day to explore waterfalls, temples, and local cafes.

What makes this training distinctive is its focus on alignment. Anoop has trained in the Iyengar tradition and has taught internationally in China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Russia, and Europe. The small class size (maximum 10 students) means you get personalized attention, and the emphasis on body mechanics and safe alignment is consistently praised in reviews.

The location itself is a big part of the experience. Rishikesh is known as the Yoga Capital of the World, and the school sits in Upper Tapovan, a short walk from the Ganga River, where you can witness the daily evening arti. The peaceful surroundings, the supportive international community, and the sattvic vegetarian meals all contribute to a traditional yogic way of life during your stay.

Accommodation is simple and comfortable, with private rooms that include attached bathrooms and Wi-Fi. Three daily vegetarian meals are provided, along with herbal tea. The training is suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners, and you’ll come away with a deeper personal practice, the skills to teach, and a strong connection to the spiritual heart of Rishikesh.
