200 Hour Traditional Yoga Teacher Training

Set in Rishikesh, India, this 24-day residential yoga teacher training at AdinYogpeeth is registered with Yoga Alliance USA and is designed for dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their personal practice and build the confidence to begin teaching. The course fee starts from $549 and includes accommodation, three meals per day, free pickup from Dehradun airport, and a Sunday excursion. After successful completion, graduates may register as RYT-200 and teach yoga internationally.

The training follows a steady daily rhythm that combines practical sessions, theory classes, self-study, rest, and reflection. Living at the school removes the need for daily travel, allowing students to focus fully on learning in the yoga capital of the world.
