200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh – 01st Jun to 26th Jun 2026

Set in the spiritual heart of Rishikesh, this four-week training is a powerful choice for anyone who wants to become a yoga teacher or deepen their personal practice. At Om Shanti Om Yoga Ashram, the course offers a supportive, homely atmosphere where students are guided through an intensive journey of study, practice, and inner growth.

Designed to cover the full spectrum of yogic living, the program introduces the core principles of ancient yoga traditions through both academic learning and physical practice. It is a Yoga Alliance approved certification that prepares you to teach confidently and correctly anywhere in the world.

Throughout the training, students receive group and individual attention, with teachers available after class for questions and guidance. The course blends physical, mental, and spiritual elements in a holistic way, encouraging awareness, concentration, relaxation, and inner peace. With experienced and certified instructors, small class sizes, and a strong focus on personal development, the training supports a meaningful connection between body, mind, and soul.

Beyond the classroom, the experience becomes a spiritual journey in the peaceful surroundings of Rishikesh. The energy of the Ganges, the supportive community, and the traditional atmosphere create an environment that is both enriching and transformative.
