Advanced 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh with Meditation and Philosophy

The 300-hour training at Akshi Yogashala is a deep dive for those who have already completed their 200-hour certification. It's not a basic course; it's for people ready to study asana in fine detail and learn how to teach more advanced poses. Over the month, you'll work through a long list of advanced asanas — things like Kapotasana, Pincha Mayurasana, and various arm balances — and learn how to adjust and align students safely. The curriculum is built on classical texts and the Himalayan tradition of yoga, mixing practical teaching skills with deep theory.

A big part of the training is the philosophy and inner practices. You'll study the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and other texts, along with the energetic side of yoga: kundalini, chakras, pranayama with bandhas and mudras. Teachers bring in their own backgrounds — one instructor spent 15 years in an ashram, another studied under a master in the traditional teacher-student lineage and holds a Master's in Yoga from Uttarakhand Sanskrit University, and one teaches anatomy with a focus on the nervous and glandular systems. Guest speakers also come in, keeping the teaching varied.

The school sits in a peaceful spot near Rajaji National Park's forest edge, just a two-minute walk from the Ganga River and the local market. The capital of Rishikesh is about a 10-minute drive away. The setting feels calm and natural, with mountains visible from the rooms. Each day is highly structured, with yoga from early morning to evening, self-study before lights out, so you can really focus and make the most of the month.

What makes this stand out from other TTCs is the small class size — maximum 20 but usually 5-15, so you get personal help. The teachers are experienced and genuinely steeped in traditional yoga. Guests frequently leave strong reviews, praising the teachers and the value of the course. If you're looking to advance your yoga teaching with an immersive month in Rishikesh, this program combines an authentic curriculum, skilled instructors, and a beautiful, peaceful setting.
