Rishikesh · 58 days · From USD 2068
This is a full 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training, certified by Yoga Alliance and other international bodies. The course covers asana practice, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, alignment, and teaching methodology. You'll learn how to sequence classes, adjust students, and handle different body types and skill levels. The days are long and the content is dense, but every session builds toward your ability to teach confidently.
What sets this training apart is the setting. Rishikul Yogshala is located in the Jonk village area near Ram Jhula, a short walk from the Ganga River. You'll wake up to temple bells and the sound of the river, and you'll have time to explore nearby places like the Beatles Ashram and Janki Setu on your weekend off. The school has been running courses since 2010 and has trained thousands of students; the teachers are experienced and the curriculum is refined.
The food is vegetarian and sattvic, prepared fresh three times a day, and the accommodation is clean and comfortable with hot water and Wi-Fi. The schedule is intense, but the environment keeps you grounded. By the end, you'll have not just a certification, but a real practice you can carry with you.
