12-Day Hatha & Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

The course is an intensive, immersive two weeks. Mornings begin with Hatha asana practice, focusing on strength, proper alignment, and mindful transitions. Afternoons move into Yin Yoga, which targets deeper connective tissues, stillness, and flexibility. In between, you'll cover yoga philosophy, energy principles, and basic anatomy, all tied back to how you'll actually teach. Teaching methodology is a core part of the program—you'll learn how to sequence safe, effective Hatha and Yin classes, and you'll get chances to practice teaching your peers as the course progresses. The teachers at Adhiroha are described by past students as knowledgeable, kind, and deeply experienced. One student, who stayed for 500 hours across multiple trips, noted that the 300-hour segments felt more personal and offered more teaching practice because the groups were smaller. The ashram itself is run by Shankar Das, who founded Adhiroha as a blend of classic ashram living and professional training. The property includes a yoga shala, meditation cave, and dining space, all set amid gardens and hills—deliberately designed to keep the energy focused on practice. Reviews repeatedly mention how clean and well-maintained the facilities are, and how the staff go out of their way to make students comfortable, from helping with heaters in January to organizing Holi celebrations so students can join in the festival fun. Location is a big part of the appeal: you're in the Himalayas, close enough to Rishikesh's cafes, markets, and temples for day trips, but tucked away from the busiest streets. The course runs most months, and students describe both winter and spring sessions fondly—January days are sunny but cold at night, while March brings perfect, breezy weather.
