Rishikesh Yoga Guide: Compare Retreats & Teacher Training
Learn yoga where yoga was born. Rishikesh Yog Retreat offers Yoga Alliance certified teacher training and all-inclusive retreats on the banks of the Ganga, in the Himalayan foothills - with Indian master teachers, sattvic meals and accommodation included.
Why Study Yoga in Rishikesh?
Rishikesh has been the heart of yoga for over 5,000 years. Saints and seekers have meditated in its caves and on its riverbanks, and the evening Ganga Aarti still fills the town with lamps and chanting every night. Nowhere else offers this combination of living tradition, experienced Indian teachers and natural Himalayan beauty - at a fraction of what training costs in the West.
Our school sits at Senegalia Resort on Neelkanth Road, a quiet Himalayan valley above Rishikesh, a short drive from the Ganga and the Lakshman Jhula bridge. Between classes you can walk to waterfalls, visit ancient temples, or simply watch the river flow.
