12-Day Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Immersion in Rishikesh

The 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training course is structured to provide a comprehensive education in yoga, from foundational asanas to teaching methodology. Each day follows a consistent rhythm, which helps students develop discipline and deep focus. Mornings are dedicated to active practice, afternoons to theoretical study and restorative techniques, and evenings to meditation and community activities.

Anatomy and physiology are taught by Dr. Hemlata Saklani Bahuguna, a physiotherapist with clinical experience. Her sessions are practical and help you understand safe alignment and the body's mechanics. Sudhanshu Ji, who holds a Master's in Yoga, brings a deep understanding of alignment, breath, and the traditional Vinyasa sequences.

The course manual covers yoga basics, including full texts of key sutras and philosophy. You'll delve into the concept of yoga, study the eight limbs of Patanjali, and explore yoga therapy. Teaching practice is integrated gradually; you'll learn to structure a class and combine different postures effectively.

Everything happens at the school's own campus - D'vine Yoga (Jyotirgamaya Vatika). The teaching style is direct and based on the ancient guru-shishya (teacher-student) tradition, but adapted for modern students. There is no room for shortcuts; you must be committed to attending all sessions. However, within this structure, you'll find a supportive, encouraging atmosphere that fosters personal growth.

Rishikesh is not just a scenic backdrop - it is a living center of yoga and spirituality. Between classes, students often visit the ghats for aarti ceremonies, take walks across Laxman Jhula, or explore the local cafes. The school organizes group excursions to nearby sights, fostering a sense of community among the participants.
