100 Hour Pranayama Teacher Training in Rishikesh

Discover the transformative potential of the breath with Akshi Yogashala.

This 100-hour Pranayama Teacher Training in Rishikesh is a focused study of the ancient yogic science of deep breathing. Blending traditional philosophy with modern anatomical understanding, it is designed for yoga practitioners, teachers, and wellness enthusiasts who want to experience the depth and power of Pranayama.

As one of the key limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama is the practice of regulating and expanding life force through the breath. The training is created to help students build a strong personal practice while also developing the confidence and skills needed to guide others.

Over approximately 13 intensive days, participants explore classical Pranayama techniques such as Nadi Shodhana, Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, Ujjayi, Sheetali, and Brahmari, along with bandhas and kriyas. The curriculum also looks at the subtle energy system, yogic physiology, the breath-mind connection, and the effect of breathing patterns on emotional and mental states.

Daily sessions include guided practice, breath awareness, meditation, mantra chanting, and teaching methodology. Supportive yogic disciplines such as gentle asanas, yogic cleansing (shatkarma), and Ayurveda basics are also included to deepen the learning experience.

Set in the peaceful surroundings of Rishikesh, the course offers an ideal environment for study, reflection, and integration. Students stay in ashram-style accommodation and enjoy sattvic vegetarian food while sharing the journey with sincere seekers.

Upon completion, participants receive a 100-hour certification, which qualifies for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education hours (YACEP). Whether you are a teacher looking to expand your teaching toolkit or a practitioner seeking a meaningful personal journey, this training offers a powerful path into conscious breathing.
