India remains one of the most respected places in the world to train as a yoga instructor, and this collection brings together courses across some of its most significant locations. You will find programmes based in Rishikesh, Dharamsala and Goa, each offering something distinct, whether that is proximity to the Ganges, the stillness of the Himalayan foothills or the warmth of the coast. The courses here range from focused 100-hour certifications running over 11 to 15 days, through to comprehensive 500-hour immersions lasting up to 60 days. Styles vary widely too, from traditional Hatha and Ashtanga to Kundalini, Vinyasa, Yin and specialist meditation teacher training. Several programmes are designed for complete beginners who want to learn to teach, while others, particularly the 300-hour trainings, are built specifically for those who have already completed a 200-hour certification and wish to deepen their knowledge.
