India · 50 days · From USD 517
This 500-hour yoga teacher training is a complete education in yoga, designed for dedicated practitioners and aspiring teachers. The curriculum covers Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, alignment, adjustments, sequencing, and teaching methodology. You'll learn how to practice safely, design classes, guide students, and give clear instructions and adjustments.
The daily schedule is disciplined: early morning asana practice, pranayama and meditation, theory classes on anatomy and philosophy, and practical teaching sessions where you practice with feedback. This structure helps you build strength, clarity, and confidence gradually over the 50 days. You're not just studying yoga—you're living it as a lifestyle, with self-discipline, mindfulness, and inner awareness as everyday habits.
What makes this training special is its depth and balance. It combines traditional yoga teachings with modern teaching skills. You'll study under Mr. Kunwar Ajitesh, an E-RYT 500 teacher, and a team that includes Jyoti Kunwar (RYT-500, E-RYT-200) and Ridhima (RYT-500 with a Bachelor's in Yogic Science). With small group sizes, you get direct feedback and mentorship.
The location in Dehradun, near Rishikesh and Mussoorie, adds to the experience. It's peaceful and green, with mountain views, yet connected to city conveniences. The calm environment supports deep study and practice. Meals are sattvic and vegetarian, cooked fresh daily, keeping you energized for long days.
By the end, you'll be prepared to teach professionally, with a deeper understanding of yoga as a complete way of life. Whether you're looking to teach full-time or go deeper in your own practice, this training offers a thorough, immersive path forward.
