Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Retreat in the Himalayas

This training is designed for anyone new to teaching yoga or looking to understand the practice on a deeper level. Whether you have been practising for a while and feel ready to share what you have learned, or you simply want to build a stronger foundation for your own journey, this course gives you the structure and guidance to do so. No prior teaching experience is required, though a basic familiarity with yoga postures and a reasonable level of fitness will help you get the most from the daily sessions.

Over twelve days, you will study the core elements of yoga: asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. The curriculum balances physical practice with classroom learning, giving you both the embodied experience and the knowledge you need to teach with confidence. Mornings begin with meditation and pranayama, followed by Hatha Yoga practice and a sattvic breakfast. Philosophy and anatomy sessions fill late morning, with alignment workshops and either Ashtanga or Vinyasa practice in the afternoon. Evenings close with meditation or relaxation before a silent dinner and time for self-study. The rhythm is full but considered, allowing you to absorb what you learn without feeling rushed.

The training takes place in Rishikesh, the town widely regarded as the birthplace of yoga, in the foothills of the Himalayas. The school sits right by the river, and the setting supports the practice in a way that few places can. The property includes a dedicated yoga shala, a restaurant serving traditional sattvic meals, and a terrace with views toward the Ganga. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, well suited to focused study and reflection.

Accommodation is simple, clean, and comfortable. You can choose a private room for single occupancy or a shared room with one other guest. Both options include an attached bathroom, air conditioning, fresh linens, towels, wardrobe space, and wifi. Hot and cold water is available around the clock. The shared rooms often become the starting point for lasting friendships, as guests arrive from all over the world with a common purpose. Free wifi is available throughout the property, along with kitchen and laundry facilities.

Your package includes eleven nights of accommodation, three vegetarian sattvic meals each day, fruit and snacks available throughout, and water, tea, and coffee served between sessions. Airport pickup and drop-off are provided, as is transportation during the retreat. You will receive all training materials, including a course manual, yoga mats, blocks, straps, and bolsters, as well as a school t-shirt and tote bag. Group excursions and weekend activities are included, along with professional event photos. Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate and registration with Yoga Alliance. Pre and post retreat support is also part of the package, so you are looked after from the moment you book until well after you return home.
