100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Retreat in Rishikesh

This 100-hour yoga teacher training at Maa Ganga Yogashala is a deep dive into the practice and philosophy of yoga in one of the most spiritual places on Earth. The program covers traditional Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, adjustments, and teaching methodology. The daily routine is disciplined: expect early morning asana practice, followed by pranayama and meditation, then theory classes in the afternoon. You'll learn not just how to do the poses but how to teach them, with plenty of opportunities for practice teaching and receiving feedback from instructors. What sets this training apart is the setting and the teacher. Rishikesh is the Yoga Capital of the World, and being in Tapovan, near the Ganges and the Himalayas, gives the whole experience a spiritual weight that's hard to find elsewhere. Vinay Khurana, the lead facilitator, brings a unique blend of traditional yoga and sound healing—he's known for his bowl sound healing sessions, which are a highlight for many students. The class size is kept small (between 6 and 15 participants), so you get personal attention and a supportive, family-like environment. By the end of the 11 days, you'll have the confidence and knowledge to teach yoga anywhere in the world.
