About the 300 Hour Course
A 4-week residential 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India — $1,599 per person, following the RYT-200 curriculum standard, in a traditional Hatha Yoga ashram by the Ganga near Laxman Jhula.
Yoga teacher training is more than learning how to teach a class. It is an opportunity to deepen your own practice, understand the philosophy behind every technique, and experience yoga as a complete way of living. Each day combines āsana, prāṇāyāma, meditation, yogic philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, mantra, and self-study.
