24-Day Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in the Himalayas

The 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Sanskar Yogashala is a foundational course that covers everything you need to start teaching yoga. Each day begins with early morning asana practice, followed by pranayama and meditation. Mornings are dedicated to alignment and adjustment techniques, while afternoons focus on yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. Evenings include restorative practices, mantra chanting, and group activities like kirtan or movie nights.

What sets this training apart is the depth of the traditional instruction. The lead teachers, Yogi Naveen and Yogi Ajay Joshi, come from Brahmin families in the Himalayas and have dedicated their lives to yoga. Yogi Naveen is a master of Hatha and Kundalini yoga, known for his dynamic yet peaceful teaching style. Yogi Ajay brings years of Ashtanga practice from Mysore and therapy yoga experience from Mumbai. Together, they offer a rich synthesis of classical techniques, ensuring you learn authentic yoga in a supportive environment.

The location itself is a major part of the experience. Rishikesh, known as the 'Yoga Capital of the World,' sits on the banks of the Ganges River with the Himalayas rising around it. The sound of the river, the fresh mountain air, and the spiritual energy of the town create an ideal atmosphere for deep practice and study. You'll have opportunities to explore local temples, participate in the Ganga Aarti ceremony, and connect with the vibrant community of seekers.

The course includes 24 nights of accommodation, three daily sattvic meals, and all necessary training materials. You'll also receive support with airport pickup, transportation during the retreat, and access to the school's library and yoga props. By the end, you'll have the confidence and skills to lead safe, engaging yoga classes, backed by a certification that's recognized worldwide.
