100 Hour Yoga TTC In Rishikesh - Overview
Our 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh is based on both the traditional Ashtanga Primary Series and the creative Vinyasa Flow. We start training programs with the primary series for establishing proper alignment and breathing within each posture, creating a strong foundation.
With a strong technical foundation, you will then experiment with Vinyasa Yoga, adopting your internal flow and creativity. To balance the masculine energy of Yang practices, we will also dive into the meditation practice of Yin Yoga.
The daily lecture will include topics such as functional anatomy, yoga philosophy, subtle energy, chakras, meditation, pranayama, mantras and more.
By the end of the yoga course, you will be able to teach an appropriately modified Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga class for all levels and offer modifications to students with injuries or physical limitations.

100 Hour Yoga TTC Schedule
Daily Schedule - 100 Hour Yoga TTC Rishikesh
A typical day at Rishikesh Yog Retreats starts with a soul-warming herbal drink/tea to kick-start the body metabolism needed for the whole day's activities at the 100 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh. Followed by the morning gathering comes cleansing of the mind and body through Shatkarma or yogic cleansing. The Morning Yoga practice begins with a small session of Soul Healing (Mantra and Meditation).
Morning Yoga practice is all about the self-realization of the body, understanding its limits, and pushing oneself to overcome the limitations of the mind. This pivotal experience consists of practising different forms of Yoga - Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, and Ashtanga primary series - to give you an insight into all significant forms of yoga.
The mid-day consists of understanding the human body through the anatomical point of view and a relaxing meditation hour just before lunch.
Lunch is followed by a quick rest time and then comes one of the most exciting parts of the yoga TTC - Yoga Philosophy. The TTC day ends with Yoga Teaching Methodology class and a light Satvik dinner.
The course dives deeper from the second week onwards with a lot of practical hands-on assisting, one-on-one teaching, understanding key alignment and its applications during practice sessions.
Upon successful completion of yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, you will graduate as a Yoga Teacher, enabling you to register with Yoga Alliance USA and teach anywhere in the world or open your own yoga studio.

Cynthia Rheaume
200 Yoga TTC
It is not easy to decide in which yoga school in Rishikesh you should follow your teacher training. If you choose Rishikesh Yog Retreats, you get the best teachers: they are all very knowledgeable, specialized and skilled. They know what they are talking about. You can really ask them anything. Just like the management. If you need something or there is a problem: every effort is made to help you. All the people who are working or helping there are very friendly and sweet. The rooms are clean and cosy and all other spaces are well maintained. After the training I came back again for extra lessons and also after that I got all the answers to my yoga questions remotely. I feel all set to be a teacher!

Rishikesh Yog Retreats provides a perfect and safe environment to work on your yoga practice and inner self healing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this yoga school, and as a fairly new yoga practitioner I learned so much during my 200h which I have built upon in my everyday life. The schedule is tiring to begin with but as the weeks go on it becomes easier and enjoyable being up at sunrise having your days planned out. The staff are all lovely and supportive and the food is lovely. The accommodation is comfortable and it's great to have your own space to retire to after a difficult yoga class. I would recommend this yoga school to anyone and hope to be back one day in the near future.

Rishikesh Yog Retreats has given me an experience of a lifetime. From the yoga classes, to the alignment classes, anatomy classes and meditation classes, I am taking so much from them all. The place in itself is so amazing, clean and tidy and animal friendly! Food was always given so much thought into, a perfect balanced diet! Such a friendly environment. If given a chance, I would like to be there every month. I cannot miss the excursions we were taken on. If one wishes to learn and teach yoga and fall in love with it, this inspirational place is the one. Go for it!!
