Rishikesh Yoga Retreats - 200 Hour Yoga (TTC) Teacher Training in India

My 6 weeks t Risikul Yogshala was wonderful. The teachers were focused, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I was looking for a program that would not only teach asanas, but would share the wisdom of Yoga as a philosophy and help me to gain understanding of that lifestyle and grow spiritually as well as physically. Risikul Yogshala was a perfect fit as they are truly dedicated to sharing what Yog is. Master Vippin is an incredible Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha instructor and gave me much more mind, body and breath awareness. When the course was completed I was also able to attain alignment and postures that I hadn't been able to do before. Gangesh, Tuna, Vivik - thanks to all of these teachers I now have a stronger understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, and meditation techniques. Rishikesh itself is very special place. Surrounded by the Himalayan Mountains with the Holy Ganga steps away from where ever you are - I had such gratitude to be in such a sacred part of India. There are great spots to shop and explore which are short walks from the Yogshala. Relaxed and safe atmospheres filled with friendly and helpful people. They also offered off days and took us to visit temples, waterfalls, caves and ashrams to experience Rishikesh and the surrounding areas. The Yogshala itself and amenities were perfect. My room here was spacious, comfortable and exceeded expectations. I also enjoyed the location as it is set a few steps back from the main street which makes it a quiet sanctuary. Food was tasty, healthy, and plentiful. All of the people at Risikul Yogshala were lovely and were so welcoming. Each one of my teachers as well as the other staff were kind, treating us like family. They went out of their way to help in any way we needed and gave us the opportunity to understand their culture here. The respect in which they treat each other, elders, and the students was truly heartwarming and something I will take back with me to ensure I am more conscious of how all people and walks of life should be treated. I truly enjoyed my time here and would recommend it to all levels of yoga practitioners. I am confident that with the tools they have provided I can return home and share what I have learned. I will definitely be back to continue my studies here and visit this beautiful place filled with people I consider friends and lifelong teachers.

I completed my training under guidance of Swami Vipin Baloni, at Rishikul Yogshala, Rishikesh, India. If you have ever considered studying yoga or visiting an ashram in India, I couldn't recommend any other institute better than this. Swamiji ensures it is always an unforgettable experience showing you the best of India and Indian way of life. Rishikul Yogshala is the best place to learn yoga thoroughly. This yoga school has experienced teachers who can teach the yoga in the most effective manner. I love their philosophy classes and learned a lot about the yoga philosophy. Apart from teacher, the Rishikul Yogshala staff is really good and they treat the students very nicely. Everything, from accommodation to food, was excellent. I recommend this school for every yoga lover. I could get a hands on traditional practice in a deeply meaningful way, to transform and inspire myself in the exact way as I needed. It inspired me to find "My own Yoga".

I spent 4 weeks at Rishikul Yogshala in Rishikesh and am now a certified Yoga Teacher! Expert instruction in Yoga Asanas, Meditation, Philosophy and Anatomy from amazing teachers, Beautiful private rooms and 3 nutritious and delicious meals a day for just over $1500 USD-- truly cannot get better than this! The staff was very cooperative and helpful. One of the best was meeting with the international group of yogis of all ages from all over the world.Together we grew and shared so much during our 200 hour yoga teacher training at Rishikul Yogshala. Highly recommended!!

I learned so much from having teacher Ammu as my anatomy teacher from a recent 200 hour yoga teaching course at Rishikesh Yog Peeth. I also then onto doing an advanced yoga nidra workshop with Rishikesh Yoga Retreats which taught me so much about yoga, the mind and the body. If you get the chance to do a course with teacher Ammu, I highly recommend taking the opportunity. She has a wealth of experience in modern and ancient methods and is an amazing teacher.

I stayed at Rishikul Yogashala for just one week (not long enough!!!) this was to polish up my teaching having been trained in the UK one year ago. I am so glad I did as the skills of all the teachers here are amazing. The quality of teaching asanas, adjustments, anatomy, philosophy, pranayama and mantra is exceptional. I have some serious gaps in my learning and Rishikul on one level blew these open but on another provided an opportunity to plug some of these areas and expand my practice and my teaching skills. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and tgo out of their way to help you with anything and everything; I cannot rate them highly enough. Also the beautiful Swami visits for meditation is delightful. The food is delicious - thank you Krishna :-) All in all you cannot fail to be deliriously happy you chose to stay with Rishikul Yogashala

I had the best time at RYS. Ammu Ma'am's lectures seamlessly connected physiology and insight from ancient Vedic scriptures, which made a great impact on my understanding of Indian culture and true yogic living. Mayank teacher was very passionate about physical conditioning for asana practices, and he made sure to teach counterposes and various modifications for yoga practitioners at all levels. In my short time at RYS, in addition to asana class and yoga anatomy and philosophy classes I was able to do a hike to a waterfall, have a one-night stay in a camp in the middle of the mountains, visit a couple temples and enjoy the local lifestyle. I really appreciated the staff as well--Arun ji was very helpful, Mukesh always made sure everyone was smiling, and the chef made sure everyone was fed well and satisfied. I strongly recommend this place!

Well it was the time i was wandering for my peace of mind and focused attention. Luckily I got to know the school and I did Yoga teachers training course from here. These guys are amazing and they had poured all of their knowledge and experience on me to such an extent that I overwhelmed.Now i also became a yoga teacher after doing long practice and sharing my experience of happiness to others through my teaching.

I did my 200hr YTTC with RYS and it was a profound experience. I've learnt so much about yoga and myself within the month that I stayed with them. The teachers are great and due to the small size of the class and school everyone became family very quickly. On top of that the food is healthy, vegetarian and tastes good too! I had a wonderful time and miss everyone I met there. Definitely recommend!
