Six themes appear again and again across our 500+ Google reviews. Every name below is publicly verifiable on our Google profile.
"It led to so much learning, healing, and growth in unexpected ways. I forgot it was a yoga teacher training it felt like training for life itself."
"The asana practices are taught much more as a discipline than they are taught in North America and Europe"
Sachi appreciated the discipline with which asana practice is approached at Rishikesh Yogpeeth. She also highlighted that the training assists with dealing with deep-rooted emotions of students.
"They don’t just teach Yoga, they live it. You see it in teachers everyday when you are at ashram"
Scott described every philosophy, asana, and pranayama session as another doorway opening. He left more grounded, more connected, and more aligned.
"Had the best experience connecting with the Yoga community and can definitely recommend for your TTC (Teacher Training Course)"
Juliette came, along with her father to attend Yoga Teacher Training course at Rishikesh Yogpeeth. She got a lot out of connecting with other students from all over, who became family by the time she graduated.
"The food was an unexpected highlight."
Tania arrived expecting to love the practice and the teachers what surprised her was missing the freshly-prepared sattvic food most after she went home.

- 21 (200 Hr) or 28 (300 Hr) days of residential Yoga immersion

Already Completed Your 200-Hour Yoga Certification?
If your 200-Hr was completed in Costa Rica, Bali, Hawaii, or California, you already know the asana and the teaching cues. What is often missing is the depth and the philosophy behind every posture, the anatomy your first training only touched on, and the Ayurveda you have read about but never experienced through personal guidance.
Our 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh India at Rishikesh Yogpeeth is designed specifically for the gap many modern trainings leave behind. Set in the peaceful Himalayan foothills above Rishikesh, this immersive Yoga Teacher Training in India offers deeper study in classical Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga, philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda, pranayama, meditation, and therapeutic alignment.
- Advanced Hatha Yoga with traditional sequencing
- Ashtanga Yoga covered
- Therapeutic alignment for safe, mixed-level teaching
- Study of Yoga Sutras and Sanskrit foundations
- Personal Ayurveda consultation with practical application

Book time for Yoga program consultationThe Daily Yogic Routine
Each day is designed to make sure that you get maximum benefit from your investment into a disciplined, intensive Yoga course in India:
Morning Practice
Late morning & Afternoon Learning
Evening Reflection
Forest. Village. River. Total stillness.
Most yoga schools are located within the busy streets of Rishikesh town. We are not. Our ashram is built on a quiet forested ridge thirty minutes away from the city surrounded by Himalayan villages, accessible waterfalls, and panoramic mountain views in every direction.
You will wake to birdsong instead of traffic, meditate to the sound of nature, and step out of your room each morning into an atmosphere that feels genuinely peaceful and sacred.
- 15-minute walk to Patna Waterfall and the village above the ashram
- Open outdoor lawns for asana practice with full Himalayan views
- Forest cliff-edge cafe for barista-style coffee, chai, reflection, and quiet study breaks
- Ancient temples and the sacred Ganga River - can be explored on day off

The Most Meaningful Three Weeks of Your Year
You do not need to know whether you want to teach yoga yet. You do not need to be flexible, speak Sanskrit, or have years of meditation experience. All you need is curiosity, an open mind, and the willingness to wake up at 5:30 AM for three weeks on a peaceful Himalayan mountainside.
The rest of the philosophy, the practice, the discipline, the community, the internationally recognized certification, and the quiet transformation experienced by more than 10,000 alumni of Rishikesh Yogpeeth will unfold naturally through the journey.
Set above Rishikesh in a traditional forest ashram, this immersive experience offers far more than a Yoga Teacher Training in India. It is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience yoga in the place where it was born.
