The certification most
teachers start with.
The internationally recognised certification most teachers start with.
If you're going to train once, this is usually the training. The 200-hour is the recognised entry point to teaching yoga — and Rishikesh is where much of the world comes to earn it. We connect you only with schools whose certification is genuinely recognized and whose teaching staff we've actually vetted.
The standard entry-level certification most new teachers train for — asana, pranayama, anatomy, philosophy, and practice teaching.

The standard,
done properly.
The standard entry-level certification most new teachers train for — asana, pranayama, anatomy, philosophy, and practice teaching.
What you'll study
Asana, pranayama, anatomy, philosophy, and practice teaching — the full entry-level curriculum, with real classroom hours in front of real students before you graduate.
How long it takes
Typically three to four weeks, usually residential, with your days built around the course. Exact curriculum, hours, and certifying body vary by school — your host will walk you through the real specifics before you commit to one.
What you leave with
An internationally recognized entry-level certification — the one most new teachers train for. Your host will tell you plainly which body certifies each school before you choose.
What’s included,
what’s not.
Typically included by the school
- Tuition and course materials for the full program
- Accommodation at or near the school for residential programs
- Daily sattvic meals at most residential schools
- Certification eligibility on successful completion
Exact inclusions vary by school. Your host confirms the full written list before you pay anything beyond the ₹2,000 reserve — never after.
Not included
- Flights and travel insurance
- Airport pickup — available as an add-on, priced upfront
- Personal spending, and optional add-ons like massages and day trips
Anything extra is an optional add-on at a fixed price shown upfront, at booking or any time during your stay.
- A personal host from your first message to graduation day — on WhatsApp whenever you need
- School vetting and honest matching, before you commit to anyone
- Orientation and settling-in handled around the course, so all you carry into the classroom is the training
From first practice
to going deeper
Committed practitioners
Guests with a genuine, sustained yoga practice who want to formalize it — not a spontaneous add-on to a holiday.
Long-time students, first-time visitors
Often older, higher-budget guests who've studied for years and want to finally train at the source, with comfort and clear pacing.
Career-changers
Guests exploring teaching as a genuine next step, who want a real certification, not a souvenir.
Matched personally,
not from a list.
We’re still finalizing which certified schools we partner with — rather than show you names before that’s locked in, your host talks through what you’re looking for directly and shortlists the real, genuinely certified option that fits, before you commit to anything.
We vet the school.
You focus on the training.
Rishikesh has more teacher training listings than any traveller can reasonably compare from abroad. We only put you in front of schools whose certification is genuinely recognized and whose teaching staff we've actually vetted — not whoever paid for a listing.
