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.

What People Say
paola andrea ampudia jimenez2023-03-30Los maestros son excelentes y tienen mucho que compartir en cada clase, siempre están dispuestos a ayudarte y la gente que trabaja ahí es de muy buen corazón.caroline sawyer2023-01-14Outstanding program, with well integrated curriculum and caring teachers. My home country, the U.S., has plenty of what is called yoga. But now I see a real need for what Rishikesh Yogis/ Yoga Sadhana teaches: "Embodied Yoga." That insight provides me with a sense of direction forward, with recognition of what RYY teachers emphasized over and over: Self practice!Sumiti Sharma2023-01-07My experience at the Rishikeshyogis was immensely wonderful.All the teachers are so diligent and cooperative , they put in all their efforts to make the students fall in love with YOGA 😊. The technique, methodology and the manner in which yoga and pranayama is taught here is incredible!!! Even the kitchen and cleanliness staff greets you with a smile ! So All those planning to take up a TTC , being a student at the Rishikeshyogis and Yogasadhana is highly recommended.Leok Wan2023-01-07well structured course with excellent and helpful teachers. had a wonderful experience there. thank youPrachi S2022-11-27I did the 200 hour teacher training in Rishikesh back in October and I went in not knowing what to expect. I was blown away by the knowledge of our teachers and knew I had chosen the right school. I learnt a lot in the span of a month and will forever be grateful for this experience and my teachers. If you're considering going then do it, there's nothing to lose and maybe something to gain :) Thank you Rishikesh YogisLiwen2022-11-07Ich bin sehr dankbar für die Erfahrung. Die Lehrer sind sehr erfahren, professionell, herzlich und kreativ. Die Schule ist sehr gut strukturiert. Es ist unglaublich, wie viel man innerhalb 3 Wochen lernt. Das Essen war sehr lecker und möchte mich bei den Köchen bedanken. Zusätzlich muss ich als alleine reisende Frau sagen, dass Indien sehr sicher ist. Man fühlt sich in Rishikesh sehr wohl und sicher. Ins Gesamt hat die Schule meine Erwartungen mehr als erfüllt und Ich kann die Schule sehr empfehlen. 🙏Letizia Maria Bincoletto2022-10-17Just finished the 200 hours TTC and it’s been an experience I would really recommend to everyone, even if you’ve been in the yoga world for little time! Amazing teachers, earnest and with experience of a life time, that will guide you into what it’s really YOGA.Great organisation and excellent food. Definitely will come again to learn more and to live another amazing experience!emma2022-10-16I had such a profound and deeply transformative experience during my training at Rishikesh yogis. The teachers are amazing and held space for each of us to learn and grow both individually and as a group. I arrived with much anxiety and left with so many new skills, insight and friendships which was more than I could have ever expected. It was a very healing journey for myself personally and the wisdom imparted to me by the teachers has given me a whole new perspective on yoga and I will carry it in my heart and continue to practice and grow with this knowledge each day. I am forever grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone wishing to begin or further their journey down the path of yoga whether personally or professionally as a teacher. Thankyou to all the amazing teachers, this training is truly a gift 🙏 namasteAkshaya Krishnan2022-09-02I did my 200Hr YTT at Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala in Aug 2022. It was an absolutely incredible 28 days! I highly recommend them if you're looking to experience yoga in its truest and fullest form. The teachers bring authenticity and hold space for you to immerse yourself deep into the subjects. There is a strong focus on bringing mind-body-spirit harmony through yoga philosophy, embodied practice of yoga asanas, in-depth study of anatomy and how it applies to yoga asanas, mantra chanting, pranayama and meditation.Aminata Diallo2022-05-12I just finished my 200h online yoga teacher training and I can honestly say that I had a good experience, the teachers are really attentive and dedicated, the content of the course is leaning towards anatomy which will prevent you from yoga injuries. Plus you get access to all the recorded classes for a lifetime, so you can go back to the philosophy or the pranayama whenever your heart calls for it. This is your sign to enroll 🕺🏿🧚🏾🪷🫶🏿
ExcellentBased on 92 reviewsCaroline Sawyer2023-01-07Feeling blessed to have found me way to this Yoga Teacher Training course Outstanding program with caring teachers and a rich, diverse, and well integrated curriculum. Coming from yoga classes in the Inited States, I had only a vague sense of the potential beyond exercise. At Rishikesh Yogis/ Yogasadhana, teachers helped me see how Yoga opens onto oceans- or more aptly, a mighty river- of ancient wisdom that the world badly needs today.Leok Wan2023-01-06A holistic yoga experience Had a wonderful experience. The course is very well structured and the teachers are excellent and helpful.KP2022-11-02200 Hours TTC I am really happy that I started my quest to understand myself at our shala (Rishikesh Yogis)! I went through a wonderful experience of learning yoga, getting to know myself, regulating my emotions, and, most importantly, unlearning things.Philosophy with Parveen Sir was such a journey! Every single word in the class has depth in it. I used to eagerly wait for Bhajan by Sir and Naman. Bhajan had such a profound effect on me that I am at a loss for words. The yoga and philosophy sessions I took from Parveen Sir definitely changed my perspective. I am grateful to Ritesh and Raj for their efforts to help us to understand everything about planes and alignments in such a short span! Uttam's meditation class is all you need to end your day! He plays the role of catalyst in students' life. He is always encouraging students to perform at their highest level.Overall, it was an eye-opening journey for me. I would definitely recommend this Yoga shala for 200 hours TTC.Kin2022-10-20Beautiful & rewarding! From the get go, you are started on a host of different subjects, practices and experiences that help you explore different aspects of your being. The teachers at the school have put together a very holistic and deeply thought out course structure blending asanas with a philosophy that you can adopt in your practise and your daily life. Added to this, is the endless support and willingness by teachers and practitioners around you to help you on the path you choose for yourself. The journey for me was very rewarding, and though it might not be the same version of rewarding for you, you can be sure to take away something meaningful. The YTTC at RYY is an experience that you will cherish for a long time to come.Letizia2022-10-16200 Hours TTC Just finished the 200 hours TTC and it’s been an experience I would really recommend to everyone, even if you’ve been in the yoga world for little time!Amazing teachers, earnest and with experience of a life time, that will guide you into what it’s really YOGA.Great organisation and excellent food.
