11-day, 100-hour residential yoga teacher training for beginners in Rishikesh, India, with US Yoga Alliance certification.
Started on June 25, 2026.
Offered by Aadi Yoga School, a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance USA, this program covers Traditional Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga in a supportive residential setting. It is designed for students who want to complete a 200-hour yoga teacher training in two semesters. Semester 1 covers the first two weeks of the 200-hour curriculum, and returning students may complete the remaining 100 hours through Semester 2. Students can return within 36 months of completing the 100-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course for Beginners (Semester 1).
This training is ideal for those with limited time, for practitioners who want to deepen their personal practice without necessarily planning to teach, and for certified teachers who wish to add extra hours to an existing qualification. The course combines study and practice in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga asanas, pranayama, meditation, kriyas, and an alignment and adjustment workshop, helping students build confidence and strengthen their yoga journey.
