Rishikesh has long been regarded as a spiritual home for yoga, and these instructor courses reflect that heritage. On this page you will find programmes ranging from focused 100-hour certifications through to comprehensive 500-hour immersions, with durations spanning 11 days to a full 60 days. Styles vary considerably, so whether your interest lies in classical Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin or the more esoteric path of Kundalini, there is a training here to match. Several courses are set in the foothills of the Himalayas, with some nestled near the Ganga River, placing you in surroundings that have drawn practitioners for generations. The 200-hour trainings suit those beginning their teaching journey, whilst the 300-hour and 500-hour programmes are designed for practitioners who have already completed foundational certification and wish to deepen their knowledge of advanced asana, pranayama, philosophy and anatomy. Prices currently range from 517 USD to 2790 EUR, reflecting the variety in course length and depth. Whether you are stepping onto the teaching path for the first time or refining skills you have already developed, Rishikesh offers a setting where tradition and serious study come together.
Programmes on this page are priced from 517 USD to 2790 EUR. Shorter courses such as 100-hour trainings tend to sit at the lower end, whilst longer immersions like the 60-day 500-hour training are at the higher end.
Durations vary from 11 days for a 100-hour certification up to 60 days for a 500-hour immersion. Most 200-hour trainings run between 23 and 26 days, whilst 300-hour courses typically last 28 to 30 days.

Styles covered include Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and Kundalini. Some courses focus deeply on one or two styles, such as the Hatha and Yin training, whilst others blend multiple approaches.
