200-Hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training & Wellness Retreat in the Himalayas

Rudra Yoga Ashram runs a 24-day, 200-hour multi-style Yoga Teacher Training in Upper Tapovan, Rishikesh, India. The syllabus blends traditional Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa flow with pranayama, meditation, anatomy, and yogic philosophy. Each day follows the natural rhythm of ashram life: sunrise meditation and pranayama, a long asana practice, and afternoons dedicated to alignment, teaching methodology, and the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras.

What sets this training apart is the small batch size. You get personal correction and coaching from teachers who have been practicing for decades, not lectures to a crowd. The lead instructor, Gagan Jain, has over 20 years of teaching experience nationally and internationally. The supporting team includes Anuj, Priyanka, Nitin, Lakshya, and Vaishali, each with their own specialities—from prenatal yoga to Ashtanga Vinyasa and alignment-based practice.

The location is a big part of the experience. Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world, and the ashram sits in the Himalayan foothills beside the holy Ganges. The whole town is vegetarian, and alcohol and meat are prohibited, which makes it easy to stay focused. Weekends open into excursions—waterfalls, temples, evening Ganga Aarti, riverside cafes—and the connections you make with fellow students often last long after the course ends.

You'll leave with a Yoga Alliance USA RYT-200 certificate, accepted in over 100 countries. The training is designed for complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners—no prior flexibility or yoga experience is required. Accommodation and meals are included in the price, as are airport pickup and all course materials, so you can focus entirely on your practice and your growth as a teacher.
