Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

I went to their 5-day yoga and meditation retreat, and it was simply an amazing experience though and through.

The teachers were awesome and the food was great. All the staff there was so helpful and nice! We had quite some free time to go around places ourselves, and Varsha was superb showing us some amazing places.

The accommodation though was very simple so please don't expect too much.

Overall it was a memorable and beautiful experience. I'm glad that I decided to go.

In November, I immersed myself in the Rishikesh Yog Temple to complete my RYT200 YTT. The entire experience was truly remarkable. From making my reservation in July to my arrival in November, I received consistent updates and had my queries addressed promptly through WhatsApp. The responsiveness of the individuals on the other end was impressive.

The Teacher training program was exceptionally well-organized, gradually leading us to teach a class in the fourth week with prior practice for specific segments. We delved into Philosophy, Anatomy, and Alignment, complemented by two daily asana classes – Ashtanga in the morning and Vinyasa in the afternoon. Each day concluded with Meditation. One session featuring a rejuvenating sound bath.

Our stay coincided with Diwali, and the school arranged a special celebration for us, along with organized trips to a temple and an invigorating acro yoga beach session. Additionally, a complimentary deep tissue massage was part of the package.

A refreshing change occurred when one of the Vinyasa classes was substituted with a Yin class, perfectly timed to counteract our growing fatigue and provide a welcome shift in routine.

We were generously served three meals daily, with delectable food that left us more than satisfied. The culinary experience was truly delightful. Upon completion, one of the instructors assisted us in arranging a rafting trip at a nominal cost. The instructors were consistently helpful and personable throughout.

Rishikesh, with its vibrant yoga-focused atmosphere, proved to be a captivating place. I highly recommend setting aside a few days after the course to fully relish the surroundings before heading back. And, be sure to bring an empty suitcase – the shopping opportunities are both inexpensive and abundant!

"A life shaping journey with beautiful souls" It is difficult to find words to describe the magical journey that Rishikesh Yog Temple will take you on. From the first contact with the manager, the attention was wonderful. Rohit ji answered all questions promptly, warmly and offered further help. The course was continually challenging which is what we were looking for. The school is situated in a very nice & safe area in Rishikesh, so there are nice places to see around. The food, rooms & staffs were just better than expected. The very experienced, competent and at the same time young teachers imparted their knowledge to us with a lot of commitment and authenticity. In doing so, they showed us that yoga is so much more than 'just' practicing asana. What a great month it has been! I highly recommend to the yoga teacher training at this place, everything is awesome and I would have loved to stay longer. I’m looking forward to come back & continue with my yoga journey. Thank you so much for everything RYT Family! Namaste 🙏

I just finished the 200H in the Rishikesh Yog Temple and I decided to stay for the 300H which will begin on the 1st of December. If you are looking for an amazing price/value ratio then this is the one! It has been an amazing experience. In the first days I understood that I do not know anything about yoga (although I have been doing it for 3 years on and off). The teachers were just amazing. They are full of knowledge and experience. There is also theory classes and I was afraid that I will not be able to focus in these as I have problems staying focused in theory classes, but they were just so fascinating that I did not feel tired at all in them. The food and accommodation were great as well! I was lucky to have an amazing group as well, we became one big family. I’m grateful and happy for this experience and can 100% recommend this school.

For me, Rishikesh Yog school was the best Yoga ashram, everything was perfectly beautiful and peaceful. Teachers are highly qualified and experienced, if you want proper knowledge of yoga then this is the right place to come, after completing the course, you will see a whole different personality, your prospective will change. The staff, the food, the classes, the program. Everything was exactly as it was supposed to be. I would highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking to go deep within themselves. Hari Aum🙏🏻

I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikesh Yog Temple one month ago. I think the best way to describe how great my experience was is to simply say, that i stayed for another month and didn’t even want to leave after that. Before I started the course I was worried I wouldn’t be advanced enough in my practice to do a teacher training and to keep up with all the other students. Now I can confidently say it doesn’t matter how experienced or advanced you are because the teachers patiently focus on every single students needs. Thanks to these amazing teachers I made incredible progress and so did all the other students in my batch. This doesn’t only apply for the physical (asana) classes but also for everything I learned about the yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, meditation and alignment. Every now and then we also went on excursions and they were incredible! Especially the trip to the Kunjapuri Devi Temple, where we got to see the sunrise. Another thing that made this school and my experience very special was, that every member of staff was always very helpful when we had problems or questions etc., no matter what we needed. I would highly recommend this YTTC to everyone who wants to become a great yoga teacher or to learn a lot about yoga and take their practice to the next level, but also wants to experience and explore Rishikesh and its culture, eat great food, meet new people, make friends and explore themselves. Rishikesh Yog Temple has the full package for you! I myself will definitely come back to do the 300 hour TTC and I couldn’t be more excited! ❤️🙏

I want to join a multi-style yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh but as a single woman, was hesitant to travel 10,000 miles away from my hometown. I want to choose a yoga school in Rishikesh that was affordable and safe. My priority was to choose a school that are having a safe atmosphere, especially for women. After much research, I found out about Rishikesh Yog Temple. Still, I was a little afraid before joining but as I joined the school, my fear start disappearing with time. A school with a safe and pure environment. There was not even a single day when I felt like I’m staying away from my country. And the teacher and learning were definitely a bonus for me.

My visit to Rishikesh in 2022 is cherishable and loving as I joined a yoga school in Rishikesh. I was suffering from an emotional breakdown and at the suggestion of one of my friends, I decided to start yoga. As I am not much aware of the practice, so I need proper guidance and teaching from a reputed school. Then, I joined Rishikesh Yog Temple and with their finest courses and wonderful behaviour, I am able to overcome my emotional up and downs. Thank you for uplifting my emotions and giving me a new life.

It is pretty tough to write the whole experience in words but I managed somehow. Starting from the beginning. Let's go through each step of my training program.
Research - I was sure to join a course in Rishikesh. So, it diminishes one of my worries. I researched through many websites, booking portals, and reviews. There are many yoga schools in Rishikesh but I managed to shortlist 5 among them. After this, when I go through their websites and understand their policy and way of teaching, I choose Rishikesh Yog Temple for my journey.
Travelling - I booked a flight to Delhi and from there, I have a flight to Dehradun Airport (it is the nearest airport to Rishikesh). From there, I talked to Rishikesh Yog Temple and they arranged a taxi for me. I reached the school without any hurdles or problems.
Welcome - Love the way they welcomed us. With folded hands, they say Namaste and welcome us to their family. M/s Nandini sees management at the school. And loved her humbleness.
Opening Ceremony - This is something new which I got to know. The opening ceremony marks the start of the course. It is a devotional prayer done by fire. A fire alter is placed and students are allowed to sit around it. We pray to fire deity and wish that our course goes well.
200 Hours YTTC - I choose the 200 hours yoga teacher training. Various concepts get covered in the course tenure. Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Style, Pranayama, Meditation, Anatomy, Physiology, Philosophy, Meditation, and all are taught by different teachers in different classes. The teachers are experienced and teach us very well.
Food - The food served at the school is Sattvic. Sattvic food is considered the best for yoga or any other physical practice. Even if you are eating it regularly then also it benefits you in various ways.
Stay - Their stay is so clean and spacious. I got a personal cupboard, attached bathroom, side table, big bed, and vanity mirror in my room. The balcony view is also so soothing from here.
Location - The school is located in a peaceful location viewing the Himalayan Mountains.
Co-mates - My co-mates at Rishikesh Yog Temple are so friendly and humble. It was great interacting with them and making friends for life.

Ow what a journey it was! I completed the YTT training in december. I've learned so much and I'm still amazed of how much progress I've made in only 25 days. A big thanks to the very knowledgeable teachers, great accommodation and delicious food. One month later I'm still in Rishikesh and whenever I'm in trouble they help me out. It's always nice to drop by the school, I always feel so welcome. Also the location of the school is great. I Highly recommend to start your journey here.

I did my 200 TTC in Jan 2022. I’ve had the most amazing experience in learning not only yoga but the working of the highest energy. Doing this course changed my life and I thank every teacher, school mates and the grace for it. It will be always special for me because my spiritual journey started with this course. Thank you.

Attending a 200 hour yoga teacher training program at Rishikesh Yog Temple was a transformative experience that allowed me to delve deeper into the practice of yoga and explore its many dimensions. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering not only asanas and pranayama, but also philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. What I appreciated most about this program was the emphasis on self-reflection and personal growth. Through daily meditation and journaling exercises, I was able to gain a greater understanding of my own mind and body, and how they relate to the practice of yoga. The teachers were knowledgeable and compassionate and created a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in deepening their yoga practice and gaining the skills and confidence to share it with others.

In the starting, you are unaware of what to expect from the course and the school. To live with strange people, with a lot of rules, and with a different schedule. It is tough in starting but after a few days, when you experience the same thing regularly then don't find it difficult anymore. Of course, when I am staying away from my near and dear ones, I experience many hard moments but my mates and school staff and teachers take very good care of me. The 200 hours yttc at Rishikesh Yog Temple is professional and with each day, you experience progress physically and mentally. For me, this was an experience which I loved and will never forget. I was leaving Rishikesh Yog Temple with a heavy heart but with great confidence, knowledge, and focus. Thank you, I am grateful to RYT.

I travelled to Rishikesh last year in May. Someone from my known referred Rishikesh Yog Temple for Yoga Teacher Training Course in India. I was suffering from physical and mental pain and I desperately need a break or so. This is the reason that I joined 200 hour Yoga Course in Rishikesh. I got a friendly welcome at the school and immediately after some hours, it feels like I am at my home. People are so good here. The yoga Course in Rishikesh includes some classes on asanas, meditation, breathing exercises, theory, and so. I enjoyed everything. It also includes outings to some places where we get to perform yoga under the well-professional teachers of the school. I just love those spots in Rishikesh where I enjoyed myself with my coursemates. Every destination is unique in its way. Just love the vibe of Rishikesh and the school. After the course, I feel like some new energy gets induced inside me. I feel rejuvenated and refreshed after the course. It feels like I have started a new phase of life or got a new motive in life. I never knew that I would leave a city with such a heavy heart. But I have to admit, I left Rishikesh with so many memories and love.

I have just completed my 200hr yoga teacher training at Rishikesh Yog Temple. My initial worry of not being “good enough” at yoga quickly disappeared once I got to class and met all the teachers. Every teacher here is knowledgeable, patient, and understanding, but still know how to push me to improve my personal practice. I stayed in a private room where I had a bathroom and balcony and was comfortable to rest in between classes. Everything you could need outside of the school is within walking distance which was very convenient. I appreciated that the school hosted excursions for us so we could immerse ourselves in the culture of Rishikesh. We did beach yoga, meditation on the Ganga river, sunrise hike to temple in the mountains, etc. Everyone I came across here has treated me with kindness, and I will leave here with many memories and friendships. I would recommend Rishikesh Yog Temple to anyone who would like to develop their practice and/or become a certified yoga teacher. Thank you and hope to be back again. 😌🙏🕉

I never knew Rishikesh brings so much joy and happiness in my life. I always go through the name, Rishikesh. When I further explore this, I found it an astonishing destination with beautiful places and spots. I thought to visit there. Where to stay? What to eat? What to do? in the new city, I don't know. So, I joined 200 Hour Yoga Course with Rishikesh Yog Temple. As in their package, stay, food, excursion; everything was included. I know I may sound crazy as I joined the course for my personal benefit and to survive in a completely new city. But after joining the program, I understand that yoga is not just a time pass. Yoga is a devotion, a practice. I interacted with many people there who were damn serious about yoga. Some joined the course as they were dealing with some mental or physical issues. With this, I got to know how yoga helps in various ways. It was good to see how teachers were also dedicated to offering the best to their students. Seriously, loved their patience and way of teaching. I was completely new to yoga still I become able to learn much in this. I am happy that I spent my vacations in the best possible way.

Had an amazing experience of the 200 hours yoga teacher training course with Rishikesh Yog Temple. The way they treated me plus the way they teach is on the top. Each and every day of the course takes me towards the best. I know how I joined the course as a person who was completely unaware of yoga and its elements, and the completion of the course brings so much change in me. I become a confident yoga teacher in the end. Today, I am in a state where I can teach someone with confidence and proficiency. Thank you for this exciting journey.

Undisputedly one of the best yoga school for YTTC. School provides a family like atmosphere while still maintaining professionalism. The teachers are simply brilliant with extensive knowledge with most progressive pedagogy. The curriculum alongside of asanas and pranayama also includes yoga philosophy which is extremely helpful in solving your own personal quandries. At the end of the Course, not only will you leave having gained confidence and control over your body but also with calmness and clarity of your life.

The yoga school and the teachers were amazing. They taught us a lot. Especially the alignment teacher shiv was doing a great job in showing us how the posture is done correctly and how we can correct other people. The vinyasa class by naveen was great as well! Even when it was sometimes challenging we felt so light and good after his classes. The anatomy teacher taught us well about our muscles, possible body movements and how important breathing is. She is a great teacher. The meditation teacher made sure that we learn multiple types of how to meditate. In the past I only knew the classical version of sitting on the floor and focusing on the breath, but he has broaden my mind. Lastly the ashtanga and pranayama teacher taught us how to breath and that cleaning the inside of our body is as important as the outside. Overall I really appreciate the teachers and was satisfied with the experience. Next to our usual schedule we had excursions days and we did yoga at the beach, went to a temple and watched the most beautiful sunset, went meditating at the ganges and went to an aarti in rishikesh. What I also wanted to mention is that the food at the yoga school was amazing! It was so delicious every single day that is astonishing. Before I came to India I actually did not like Indian food that much, but now I fell in love with it. The cook at the school is doing a very good job! Further, since it was my first time in India I was a little bit worried about my safety but everything went smoothly. They picked me up at the airport. The area in which the yoga school is located is safe and there have been no moments where I felt unsafe here. Overall thank you for the great experience!
