28-Day Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in Rishikesh

This 28-day residential teacher training at Real Happiness Ashram in Rishikesh, India, is a comprehensive program that explores the philosophy, techniques, and practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. The curriculum is designed to awaken and balance the seven chakras, from the Muladhara (Root) to the Sahasrara (Crown), through a combination of dynamic asana practice, pranayama, visualization, and mantra chanting. The course structure includes three morning segments: detoxification, pranayama, and yoga asana, each tailored to channel energy through the chakras.

The deep study of Kundalini energy is at the heart of the training—you'll learn how this dormant energy at the base of the spine can be awakened and guided upward through the energy channels, or nadis. Through daily practice, you'll explore the signs of an awakened chakra, the symbols associated with each, and the practical methods to activate them. The program also includes Raj Yoga philosophy, the study of the Nadi system, and the science of visualization meditation, providing a well-rounded understanding of yogic traditions.

What makes this training unique is the inclusion of a diet chart aligned with the chakras, a personal body analysis to identify imbalances, and guidance on natural healing practices. The teachers—Sanjay Raturi, Uttam, and Kapil Bhatt—bring a wealth of experience and diverse backgrounds, ensuring a rich learning environment. Sanjay grew up near the Ganges and specializes in Vedic and Kundalini meditation; Uttam holds a master's degree in Yoga from Sanskrit University and focuses on Hatha and yogic cleansing; Kapil blends mindfulness, breathwork, and mantra meditation with a grounding approach.

Located away from the noise of the main town but within walking distance of local markets and cafes, the ashram offers a peaceful retreat where you can fully immerse yourself in your practice. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, with each guest enjoying a private room with an attached washroom and beautiful Himalayan views. The program also includes weekend excursions to sacred sites, such as ancient temples and a natural waterfall, offering a chance to connect with the spiritual heritage of Rishikesh.
