23 Day 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

This 23-day, 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India, welcomes both new students and experienced practitioners who want to build a solid foundation for teaching while immersing themselves in traditional yogic living. Held at Rishikesh Adiyogi Yoga School in the foothills of the Himalayas, near the sacred Ganga, the program is Yoga Alliance certified and covers Hatha, Ashtanga, alignment-based asana, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, philosophy, mantra chanting, and teaching methodology. Students are encouraged to arrive a day early to settle in, meet their cohort, and get oriented before the course formally begins. From there, mornings start early with traditional Hatha practice, breathwork, cleansing techniques, and meditation to set a calm, focused tone. The middle of the day shifts to alignment-focused asana sessions, anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology, while evenings close with meditation, group discussion, or spiritual experiences such as Ganga Aarti along the river. Classes run six days a week, leaving one day open for rest or exploration. Participants often use this time to visit nearby waterfalls, temples, and local cafes, or simply soak in the spiritual atmosphere that makes Rishikesh the yoga capital of the world. The schedule is structured but supportive, designed to gradually build strength, body awareness, confidence, and inner balance over the three weeks. Accommodation is comfortable and includes Wi-Fi, with three nourishing vegetarian meals served daily to support a sattvic lifestyle. The peaceful Himalayan setting and the presence of an international community of fellow students create an environment well suited to focused learning and personal growth. By the end of the training, participants can expect a deeper understanding of yoga, stronger personal practice, hands-on teaching experience, and a meaningful connection to the traditional yogic way of life.
