Exam & Certification
How We Assess Your Journey Toward Becoming a Yoga Teacher
- Your growth will be tested in an applied practical exam wherein you must demonstrate your knowledge of asanas, pranayama, meditation, sequencing, and safe alignment, as well as care and clarity in guiding others.
- You will be subjected to written examinations representing your understanding of the core areas of yoga philosophy, anatomy, breathwork, meditation, and the vast knowledge on which authentic teaching rests.
- Your classroom participation and active engagement throughout the 200-hour yoga teacher training in India will be observed gently, as how you show up - with presence, enthusiasm, and openness, is equally important as what you know.
- Being the last chance to teach, an assessment will let you slip into the teacher’s seat, working your way through all of your learning and receiving nurturing critiques to grow from.
- Attendance and sincere participation in all activities of the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh are plenty enough requirements for certification, for Yoga is as much about discipline and consistency as inspiration.
How We Assess Your Journey Toward Becoming a Yoga Teacher
Upon the successful completion of this course, along with the successful completion of the examination process,
the RYT 200 certification from Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala will be awarded to you – an international certification that
allows you to register with Yoga Alliance USA. The registration permits you to go anywhere in the world and freely
teach yoga, sharing your voice, your light, and your wisdom with others who wish to transform through the magic
of yoga.
But more than just a certificate, what you take with you is the transformation – the newfound confidence,
awareness, and being present, that will, in turn, inspire your students and life. The Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala way is to prepare
students not simply for teaching but to step into the shoes of a compassionate guide and lifelong student of
yoga.

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.
