Wellness Immersion: 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training & Ayurveda in Rishikesh

Over 28 days, the 200-hour curriculum immerses students in a structured schedule that covers the full spectrum of classical yoga training. Daily life includes two asana classes focusing on alignment and traditional postures, along with dedicated sessions in pranayama (breath control), bandhas (energy locks), mantra chanting, and shatkarma (cleansing practices). The course also includes lectures on anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy centered on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and teaching methodology, where students learn to construct and lead a class safely and effectively.

A significant portion of the training is dedicated to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of holistic medicine, giving students insight into doshas, diet, and lifestyle practices that complement a yoga teaching career. Kundalini yoga is introduced as a practice for awakening energy, with chakra-focused meditations and teachings from the tantras. Meditation classes cover a variety of techniques including mindfulness, trataka, and yoga nidra, providing students with tools they can integrate into their own teaching.

The Pyramid Yogshala, founded by lead teacher Ravi Nagar, stands out for its small-group atmosphere and personalized attention. Ravi, a 500 E-RYT with a bachelor’s in Yoga and pursuing a master’s, teaches alongside a team including Dr. Direndra, a master of philosophy with 20 years of teaching experience, and Yogini Yoshita, an Ashtanga specialist, ensuring students encounter diverse perspectives within a cohesive traditional framework. The school’s pyramid-shaped building, café, and gardens contribute to its unique, tranquil energy, a short walk from the bustling streets of Rishikesh.

Located in the spiritual heart of India, Rishikesh offers an inspiring backdrop for the course, with the Ganges flowing nearby and the Himalayas visible in the distance. Weekly excursions break up the intensive study schedule, while Sundays are free for students to rest, explore the town, or hike to waterfalls and viewpoints. This blend of rigorous training with cultural immersion is what makes this teacher training a memorable month, whether students plan to teach professionally or simply wish to advance their practice.
