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

The day at Buddha Retreat starts early with Shatkarma (cleansing practices) and Hatha yoga, which sets a grounded tone for the day. After a wholesome vegetarian breakfast, mornings continue with pranayama and alignment-focused yoga that builds a strong foundation. The afternoons are dedicated to meditation, sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls, and dynamic Vinyasa or Ashtanga practice, all aimed at deepening your understanding of yoga. As evening approaches, the focus shifts to yogic philosophy, anatomy, and kirtan, allowing you to understand the practice intellectually and spiritually. A key highlight of the week is the group visit to the Ganga Aarti ceremony, a powerful and soul-stirring ritual on the riverbank that connects you to the area's deep spiritual roots. The retreat also weaves in Ayurvedic principles, providing 4 detoxifying herbal drinks each day and meals cooked from local, organic produce, which helps to balance and cleanse the body as you learn. Led by experienced Indian teachers, the training emphasizes alignment and personal growth, ensuring that you leave not only with a teaching certification but also the confidence and knowledge to guide others.
