58-Day Himalayan Yoga Teacher Training Intensive in Rishikesh, India

The heart of this retreat is the daily rhythm of practice and study. Most days begin with morning pranayama and meditation before moving into a lengthy asana class, with afternoons split between alignment workshops, teaching methodology, philosophy lectures, and anatomy. As the weeks progress, you'll take on more practice teaching, receiving feedback from instructors like Rajesh Ji (Vinyasa Flow) and Naveen Ji (Ashtanga and alignment), who both hold Master's degrees in yoga science. Evening sessions often include mantra chanting, kirtan, or satsang, creating a strong sense of community among the 10–15 participants.

The location in Tapovan makes this more than just a classroom experience. During breaks and on weekly rest days, you can walk to Laxman Jhula, the riverside ghats, or the local cafes and organic shops. The teachers frequently organize excursions to temples and nearby waterfalls, and weekend outings give you a chance to explore more of the area.

Unlike a condensed training, the 58-day format introduces the material gradually. Foundational asana work builds through the weeks, and the philosophy and anatomy units are given room to sink in. By the end, you'll have completed the full 500-hour curriculum and earned your RYT-500 certificate, with the confidence to lead your own classes. The group's small size means you'll never be just a number, and the personal attention from the staff and faculty is a major part of what graduates mention in their reviews.
