23 Day 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Retreat in Rishikesh, India

This isn't just a certification course—it's an immersive month dedicated to yoga in the place where it was born. Days begin early at Divine Yogpeeth in Tapovan, Rishikesh, with meditation and pranayama, followed by extensive Hatha and Ashtanga asana practice. The curriculum is thorough: you'll study yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology, learning not only to improve your own practice but to confidently lead others. Instructors like Yogi Vinay Khurana Ji, who left a career in Mumbai's film industry to devote himself to yoga, bring years of personal practice and a genuine commitment to each student. He is especially known for his skill in sound bowl healing and meditation, which he weaves into the program.

What makes this training special is the real spiritual and cultural context. This isn't yoga in a sterile studio; it's yoga lived. You'll take part in excursions to Haridwar for the Ganga Aarti, visit Kunjapuri Temple for a sunrise that feels almost sacred, and hike into the Himalayan landscape. The school, Maa Ganga Yogashala, sits in the peaceful neighborhood of Tapovan, surrounded by forested hills and the sound of the river. The environment supports focus and introspection.

With small group sizes limited to between 6 and 25 participants, you'll receive personal attention and form close bonds with fellow students from around the world. The daily rhythm—practice, study, sattvic meals, evening kirtan—builds a structure that many find transformative. This is a holistic package that includes excursions, event photography, and WiFi, so you can focus entirely on your training. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced yogi looking to become a teacher, this course aims to equip you with a deep understanding of the practice and a certificate that opens doors across the globe.
