We recommend 2 options – Option 1 is to transit in Delhi briefly and fly to Dehradun, nearest airport to Rishikesh and Option 2 is to pre-book a taxi from Delhi to Rishikesh Yogpeeth. Both are safe options and at an added cost, Rishikesh Yogpeeth can organise the Hire cars for you to bring you to RYP from Delhi or Dehradun airport

We know that in popular culture, the way Yoga asana are depicted; our students can have this question. Our way of Yoga teacher training is grounded in a core belief that Yoga is a mindset, a way of living and is way more than asanas. Our 200 hr Yoga teacher training and retreats is for everyone who is a keen Yoga enthusiast. Our expert teachers will help you learn Yoga philosophy and asana at a pace that works for you and small batch size means a personal attention.

The very first training to become a yoga teacher is 200 hours of yoga teacher training. It does not require any previous knowledge of yoga however if you have some prior experience it always comes handy.

At Rishikesh Yogpeeth and other schools in India, there are 200 hours and 300 hours yoga teacher training courses available to start with. There is no prior experience required for 200 hours of Yoga teacher training. However, for 300 hours, you must have completed 200 hours training prior from a registered Yoga school. Once you complete 300 hours yoga teacher training you become a certified 500 hours yoga teacher (RYT 500). You can also opt for 500 hours Yoga Teacher Training as the two courses of 200 hours and 300 hours are scheduled in sequence in most Yoga schools.

The word hard is relative and hence cannot be answered. Yoga is an experiential journey and one must decide what’s hard or easy for them. Hatha Yoga is the traditional Yoga practice which is supposedly considered as the fundamental of Yoga. All other practices like Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Flow yoga, etc are developed from the base of Hatha Yoga.

Rishikesh is known as the Yoga capital of the world hence you can practice Yoga at every nook and corner of the town. There are many Yoga schools, studios and ashrams for professional training as well as for ad hoc yoga practice. Rishikesh Yogpeeth is one of the best Yoga schools in Rishikesh that offers Yoga Teacher Training as well as multiple Yoga and Ayurveda retreat options where you can practice unlimited Yoga.

The cost of any Yoga training depends on your need and expectation from the school. This may vary from USD 1000 to USD 3500. Your decision should factor in the reliability of the school, safety, experience of the teacher, duration of the course, etc. If it is residential, the quality of accommodation, food and cleanliness is important. Read the reviews of the school and if possible talk to them or send them an enquiry email. The way they respond tells a lot about their ethos.

You will find hundreds of options in Rishikesh to learn Yoga and Yoga teachers training. One of the best Yoga schools undoubtedly is Rishikesh Yogpeeth, running residential Yoga teacher training for more than a decade. It has two locations to conduct courses – Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram.

Rishikesh also known in Indian culture as ‘Devbhoomi’ (the land of gods) situated on banks of river Ganga has a special spiritual significance. Rishikesh, the name in Sanskrit mean ‘the hair strand of a Yogi or Sage’ – is a city that has stood the test of time in terms of high-quality Yoga teaching through attracting the best Yoga teachers from India and abroad. You should choose Rishikesh because it is known as Yoga Capital of the world, has favourable weather, is incredibly safe and friendly to international tourists. Besides this, basing yourself in Rishikesh can enable you to explore broader Himalayan treks, temples and other outdoor activities of interest in India

You do not have to take our word for it – across Yoga Alliance, Google and TripAdvisor our students have given us approx. 1000+ 5-Star reviews, we encourage you to read them and see if our ashram and our programs are good fit for you.

As you’d have experienced in any other services or tourist activity – setting price comes down to two factors – 1) Our input costs and 2) Customer Value. In our case the factor #1 is a major factor. Due to no vehicle access, everything at RYP has been brought up by manual labour, all construction, all grocery, all books, all yoga mats, everything. From a school that has vehicle access, this mean our input costs are at 2-3 times Rishikesh city based schools. We also are confident that the value that our Yoga programs offer, our prices are competitive in comparison to suitable alternates in India. We also offer a very competitive Early Bird and Twin sharing options, both of which are geared towards making our programs affordable to our students.

Yoga Alliance doesn’t provide certificates. It is a directory for Yoga schools and certified Yoga teachers. The directory is maintained to provide exposure and visibility to the schools and teachers. A Yoga certificate is provided by the respective Yoga school.
