About Our Yoga School in Rishikesh
Rishikesh Yogis Yogashala is located in Rishikesh (India). The school provides 200hrs, 300 hrs and 500hrs yoga teacher courses from registered International Yoga Alliance in Rishikesh. We offer Yoga Alliance accredited Yoga Teacher Certification Rishikesh. Our Yoga school (Rishikesh) training is given on various traditional styles of yoga-like Emboided Meditative Vinyasa, Classical Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga and a wide variety of meditations.
We believe that yoga has no end and that just sharing from the surface is not a correct method of sharing the knowledge of yoga. Understanding the teachings of yoga need lots of purification not only physical but also mental and emotional. This is what you will find in our program where we focus on lots of purification practices. Once your different levels of the body are purified you can easily experience the connection between your bodies and mind that will make you more close to your pure self.
At Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala, we believe yoga is a life-style. It is not a technique or a mere practice; it is how one can lead their life towards its betterment. Our yoga retreats and yoga training sessions and yoga teacher certification Rishikesh lead you to immerse yourself into the yogic lifestyle while dwelling in an ashram style setting, alongside experienced and dedicated yogis. We have internationally acclaimed award winning world-class certified yoga trainers and teachers.

Una escuela maravillosa para formarse en yoga en Rishikesh. Profesores dedicados, enseñanzas profundas y un ambiente muy especial. Una experiencia transformadora que recomiendo totalmentePosted on MartínTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful place if you're looking to do your 200h yoga teacher course. The staff is amazing, really good food and classes. The yoga teachers are great and have lot of knowledge. Located in a serene space in the nature. Only bad thing was the manager communication as I came here to do a five days retreat, and they told me that they were some Spanish students with translation. Didn't know it wasn't a retreat and I was going to come and join the teachers course, so I left next day. But if I would think on doing the teachers course I would definitely do it here.Posted on Rajesh SelukarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the 200-hour TT workshop during Dec 1-Dec 24, 2025. I am 63-year-old and have practiced yoga (mainly asanas) on and off much of my life. As my retirement came closer, I was looking for a class that provided a good basis to start a regular yoga routine. After searching on the internet this class satisfied my requirements in terms of my vacation schedule and being an all-in-one facility (nice town and room-and-board and training in the same location). At the outset I can say that the workshop delivered on the promises they made on their website. The instructors are good, and the class make-up has good balance of theory and practice. The yoga center was on the outskirts of Rishikesh with a good view, away from the town’s busy center. It had all the modern conveniences (good bathrooms, 24-hour hot and cold water, laundry service, and free filtered water) and two large halls for the yoga practice. All the students (except me) were of non-Indian origin. The instructors and the staff at the center are very friendly and aware of needs of such international class. Three sumptuous vegetarian meals are served every day. After several days of Indian meals, some students needed dietary change, and the kitchen staff happily provided special meals for these students. By the end of the workshop this group of people from all over the world who had never met before, became a very close-knit group. We had lively discussions on a variety of topics. All in all, I think this was a wonderful experience.

And, 5 star views of the surrounding nature. I felt at home and part of a family and I left with a whole family of new friends. Can't wait to return xxxxPosted on sjain66Verified Outstanding, authentic yoga teachers training program I recently completed my 200 hr. TTC at Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala, and recommend it very highly. I have been practicing yoga (asanas) for 8+ years and was looking for a program to take my practice to the next level and help me to teach / share with others at the same time. This program was recommended to me by 2 of my teachers and turned out to be an excellent choice, so wanted to share my experience. The RYY program is outstanding -- well organized and structured, taught by very knowledgeable (world class!) teachers with deep expertise, able to accommodate beginners yet expand the practice of seasoned practitioners, has a class size that allowed each of us to engage with the teachers and learn from each other, good food and accommodations. At the same time, it exceeded my expectations in a number of ways (a) the why of yoga – I came away with a much deeper understanding of yoga philosophy that has enabled me to both internalize and communicate working towards peace and harmony (b) it is based on an embodied yoga practice that will build and sustain my practice over the long term (c) an overall experience that truly refreshed and enriched.The embodied yoga practice that is taught there in addition to traditional practices, is an amazing and distinctive ideology that allows each of us to build and develop our own practice in alignment with our body and mind. It enables us to get the most out of our practice, regardless of different / changing body types, strength and flexibility levels, experience and needs over time. Many thanks to all the teachers and my fellow students for the wonderful experience. I am planning to be back shortly for the 300 hr. TTC to continue on my yoga journey.
