24-Day Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training in the Himalayan Foothills of Rishikesh

Rudra Yogpeeth is a well-known and highly rated yoga school in Rishikesh, and its 200-hour multi-style teacher training is its flagship course. The training integrates Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa as the main styles, but also covers Vinyasa, Pranayama, Meditation, and Yoga Philosophy. The curriculum is structured to build your understanding gradually, starting with the basics of asana and moving into more complex techniques, sequencing, and adjustments. You'll also study the traditional texts, like the Yoga Sutras, and learn how the body's systems respond to yoga practice.

The teaching team is led by founder Gagan Yogi, who has over 16 years of experience, and includes several other experienced instructors, each specializing in different areas. Anuj Pal handles much of the asana and pranayama instruction, Vaishali Ji brings her background in Hatha and Kriya Yoga, and Nitin Ji specializes in Ashtanga Vinyasa and Aerial Yoga. There are also teachers for yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and meditation. This variety means you are learning from people who genuinely know their subjects.

The location is integral to the experience. The school sits on the banks of the Ganges at the foothills of the Himalayas, in the heart of Rishikesh. It is a short walk from the local market and close to forest trails. The daily rhythm of practice, study, and sattvic meals takes place in a peaceful setting that feels far removed from everyday life, even though you're close to the town's amenities. Between classes, you can walk along the river, watch the evening aarti from the ghats, or just sit in the hills and take in the atmosphere.

What sets this training apart is its integration of traditional elements that are often left out of modern courses. You'll learn shatkarma, the cleansing practices like neti and trataka, as well as chanting, mudras, and the deeper aspects of pranayama. The training is designed to be practical, and you will leave with the skills and confidence to teach a well-rounded yoga class, but also with a personal practice that feels more connected to the roots of yoga.
