100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training In Rishikesh, India

Ans. Anyone interested in yoga can enroll for training in this 100 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh.​ However, we recommend participants prepare themselves for this intensive course beforehand by starting to practice some asanas at home before your warm welcome to Rishikul Yogshala, Rishikesh. You can start as simply as reading some beginner’s books on yoga to begin understanding this ancient science. This will make you one step ahead when you join us, so you can easily grasp the curriculum being taught by us.

Ans. Please note that for the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course, you will be receiving a completion certificate, and upon completing the remaining 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course, you will have a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate affiliated with Yoga Alliance USA.

Ans. No, participants are not expected to have any prior experience or expertise in yoga before enrolling in any of our yoga teacher training courses. However, it is always beneficial to have a basic understanding or awareness of yoga, its common forms, and its basic philosophy, which will enable you to understand the concepts taught in class even better. Practising yoga for a few months before entering the yoga training is beneficial.

Ans. Yes, you are always welcome to stay for an extra day before or after your 100 Hour Yoga Course, based on accommodation availability. Additionally, an extra stay is subject to an additional charge. For detailed information, please contact us before your arrival.

Ans. If you already know you want to teach, book the 200-hour. It is the level studios and insurers recognise, and doing the 100-hour first will cost you slightly more overall than booking the full course at once. The 100-hour makes sense if you have limited leave from work, if a four-week commitment feels like too much for a first visit to India, or if you mainly want to deepen your own practice rather than teach. Tell us honestly which of the two describes you and we will say so if the shorter course is the wrong fit.

Ans. Rishikul Yogshala is located in Ram Jhula, Rishikesh, approximately 20 km (45 minutes) from Dehradun Airport (DED). We provide or can arrange direct airport pickup services upon request. If arriving via New Delhi (IGI Airport), you can take a domestic flight to Dehradun, an overnight air-conditioned Volvo bus, or the train to Haridwar Junction, where our team coordinates station pickups.

Ans. A tourist e-Visa is what you need. Apply at indianvisaonline.gov.in before departure and choose the 1-year multiple-entry option rather than the 30-day one. A student visa is only issued for universities, so it is not the right choice for a yoga course. Rishikul Yogshala can send you a confirmation letter upon enrollment if you need one.

Ans. Yes. The 100 hours you complete here carry forward, so when you return for the remaining 100 hours you finish with a full 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate affiliated with Yoga Alliance USA. There is no time limit on coming back, and many students return the following year. You do not repeat any part of the syllabus you have already covered.

Ans. Yes, it is fully residential. Accommodation and all meals for the 12 days are included in the fee, and you live on campus at Ram Jhula for the duration. Days begin early with morning practice and run through asana, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy, and evening meditation, with rest periods built in between sessions. Living on site is a large part of why 12 days achieves what it does; there is no commute and no switching back into ordinary routine each evening.
