13 Day 100 HR Pranayama Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

This 13-day 100-hour Pranayama teacher training in Rishikesh, India, is designed for beginners and regular yoga practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of breathwork and begin sharing it with others. Hosted by Akshi Yogashala in Ram Jhula, the program sits near the Ganges and the foothills of the Himalayas. The setting itself encourages stillness, with the river's sound and mountain air shaping a natural backdrop for inner work. The curriculum centers on traditional pranayama techniques, guiding students through the mechanics and philosophy of conscious breathing. You will also explore yogic cleansing practices, known as kriyas, alongside daily meditation sessions. Philosophy classes round out the experience, grounding the practical work in authentic yogic tradition. Rather than treating breath as an add-on, the course positions it as a foundational tool for steadying the mind and body. Over nearly two weeks, students build a structured personal practice while gaining the confidence to teach. The training is holistic in approach, weaving physical, mental, and philosophical layers into a single coherent path. Rishikesh has long been regarded as one of India's most significant yoga destinations. Training here places you in a town where practice and daily life move together, along the same river that has drawn seekers for generations.
