About This Retreat
A beginner-friendly, holistic 100-hour yoga teacher training program in the spiritual setting of Rishikesh by the Ganga. Combines Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga practices with yoga philosophy, alignment, anatomy, meditation, and lifestyle education — along with accommodation, meals, and excursions.

It blends traditional Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga yoga with meditation, pranayama, yoga philosophy, anatomy, cleansing practices (shatkarma), mudras, and bandhas. The course emphasizes personal transformation and developing a yogic lifestyle supported by a sattvic diet and spiritual activities such as mantra chanting, fire pooja (hawan), waterfall visits, and Ganga Aarti. Certification from Yoga Alliance (USA) allows global teaching recognition. The training fosters a supportive learning environment with personalized attention and small group sizes.
