Namaste, I completed my 200 hours teacher training course from Rishikesh Yoga Ashram last month. One of the best thing about this ashram is it’s location, away from the city. In this traditional yoga ashram, its environment makes the whole learning experience even more beautiful. I learned so many things here and everyone was kind and friendly. Teacher in this ashram are knowledgeable and experienced in their respective subjects. Pranayama teacher was a great example of what you can achieve if you have discipline in your practice. He taught us some cleansing practices like Jal Neti, Rubber Neti etc. I still practice sometimes. Also, In this ashram I met so many like minded people from different origins, all wonderful people. So this was a wholesome experience for me, i think this is the best yoga ashram in Rishikesh. Thanks to everyone for making this journey beautiful.

Completing my 200 hour yoga teacher training was an experience that i will never forget. The teachers were not only have a lot of experience but are also supportive to tell us the right way forward. The rooms were comfortable. The food was good. The most amazing is the curriculum we learned a lot of different things but the most amazing is the Ayurveda and Yin yoga sessions. I learnt a lot and how can i do my self practice after going back home. Yogpeeth Rishikesh offered a holistic approach to everything and I think everyone should at least have an experience here and i am sure you will learn something new everyday.

Some Doubts You May Have Before Joining Our Yoga Teacher Training Course

It is also commonly referred to as YTTC. It is an exhaustive training program that prepares students to become yoga teachers. The key learning points are asanas, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology.

Yes, it is due to reasonable factors. Although you will find several places in the country that have schools for such training, Rishikesh is the best option. Yoga itself originated here in the Vedic times. It hosts many authentic yoga training schools, excellent teachers, and a vibrant yoga community. Notably, you get the privilege of learning at the banks of the sacred Ganges.

You can reach the school via a direct taxi or bus service from Delhi Airport. We also provide assistance in arranging transportation upon request.

Selecting our traditional school of yoga training can be a good idea. Excellent instructors guide students, and the curriculum is exhaustive. In addition, its location near the holy Ganga River at the foothills of the Himalaya creates a higher learning experience. Moreover, reasonable fees make learning affordable.

You can become a yoga teacher in any country of the world by completing at least the 300-hour program. It is a lucrative career option. Notably, the demand for well-trained and certified yoga teachers is increasing significantly globally.

Reputed schools usually provide quality programs. Given the overall quality, Rishikesh Yoga Ashram is one of the best schools to choose for your yoga education.
