“..All I would say can be summed up with these words: beyond imagination.

I’ll definitely come back.. because a piece of my heart literally belongs to this place and people.

Very grateful to all management, teachers, staff, waiters, helpers, cleaners.

No better environment to begin the journey into Yog..”

“..My time at Rishikesh Yogpeeth has been the best 3 weeks of my life.

…Not only did I get the chance to consistently practice all 8 limbs of yoga everyday. (i did not know there were so many different aspects to yoga before coming here).

I also learned so much about yoga philosophy, anatomy, asana, pranayama, mantras, yoga Alignment & Adjustment, and teaching…”

“..The location is gorgeous, people are so humble and caring, teachers are giving the high standard of education in Yoga. Teachers who not just do yoga, but truly live Yogic life. All kitchen staff and yoga teachers keep deep ancient knowledge of Yoga and very devoted to keep Yoga traditional. This is what I value the most in this place. 

..The most gorgeous views on the mountains and of course the amount of friends for life that I’ve made in this place..”

“..is in my heart forever ❤️
So much wisdom, so much humanity and compassion in each talk. And we had a lot during my 2-weeks retreat.

So many answers and insights – you just need to ask – no matter if it is about practice, body, philosophy, habits or daily routine! I wish I could come and talk again 🙏 Namaste..”

Frequently Asked Questions - Rishikesh Yogpeeth

Travel to Rishikesh, India

Known as the ‘Yoga Capital of the World,’ Rishikesh is not only a spiritual haven but also a safe destination for solo female travellers. As part of the Yoga Teacher Training or Yoga retreat booking process, we can provide you with a purpose-built solo traveller blog link to arrive in Rishikesh safely

We recommend 2 options – Option 1 is to transit in Delhi briefly and fly to Dehradun, nearest airport to Rishikesh and Option 2 is to pre-book a taxi from Delhi to Rishikesh Yogpeeth. Both are safe options and at an added cost, Rishikesh Yogpeeth can organise the Hire cars for you to bring you to RYP from Delhi or Dehradun airport

Simple, please email info@rishikeshyogpeeth.com – we are used to assisting students with requests like this so we will do our best to help. It is recommended that you reach out to us with any such request at least 3-4 months before your arrival into India to give enough time to obtain Visa. RYP does not guarantee that through this support your Visa will be approved but we are happy to help!

Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga and Ayurveda retreats

Yes, very much so. The first step in the direction of becoming a Yoga Teacher is to complete 200 hours of Yoga Teacher Training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). For this, you don’t need any prior yoga experience.
We know that in popular culture, the way Yoga asana are depicted; our students can have this question. Our way of Yoga teacher training is grounded in a core belief that Yoga is a mindset, a way of living and is way more than asanas. Our 200 hr Yoga teacher training and retreats is for everyone who is a keen Yoga enthusiast. Our expert teachers will help you learn Yoga philosophy and asana at a pace that works for you and small batch size means a personal attention.
The very first training to become a yoga teacher is 200 hours of yoga teacher training. It does not require any previous knowledge of yoga however if you have some prior experience it always comes handy.
At Rishikesh Yogpeeth and other schools in India, there are 200 hours and 300 hours yoga teacher training courses available to start with. There is no prior experience required for 200 hours of Yoga teacher training. However, for 300 hours, you must have completed 200 hours training prior from a registered Yoga school. Once you complete 300 hours yoga teacher training you become a certified 500 hours yoga teacher (RYT 500). You can also opt for 500 hours Yoga Teacher Training as the two courses of 200 hours and 300 hours are scheduled in sequence in most Yoga schools.
The word hard is relative and hence cannot be answered. Yoga is an experiential journey and one must decide what’s hard or easy for them. Hatha Yoga is the traditional Yoga practice which is supposedly considered as the fundamental of Yoga. All other practices like Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Flow yoga, etc are developed from the base of Hatha Yoga.
Rishikesh is known as the Yoga capital of the world hence you can practice Yoga at every nook and corner of the town. There are many Yoga schools, studios and ashrams for professional training as well as for ad hoc yoga practice. Rishikesh Yogpeeth is one of the best Yoga schools in Rishikesh that offers Yoga Teacher Training as well as multiple Yoga and Ayurveda retreat options where you can practice unlimited Yoga.
The cost of any Yoga training depends on your need and expectation from the school. This may vary from USD 1000 to USD 3500. Your decision should factor in the reliability of the school, safety, experience of the teacher, duration of the course, etc. If it is residential, the quality of accommodation, food and cleanliness is important. Read the reviews of the school and if possible talk to them or send them an enquiry email. The way they respond tells a lot about their ethos.
You will find hundreds of options in Rishikesh to learn Yoga and Yoga teachers training. One of the best Yoga schools undoubtedly is Rishikesh Yogpeeth, running residential Yoga teacher training for more than a decade. It has two locations to conduct courses – Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram.

Yoga Teacher Training in India and Rishikesh

Yoga (or Yog, in Sanskrit) originated from a set of ancient scriptures called Patanjali Yogsutra in India. In comparison to other countries, India’s Yoga teaching is more disciplined enabling deeper practice of Yoga philosophy and links Yoga to other Indian Vedanta philosophies like Sankhya and Vedas. This has earned India the reputation in the world for Spiritual excellence. This feedback is also confirmed by many students of RYP who have learnt Yoga from other countries before studying at RYP
Rishikesh also known in Indian culture as ‘Devbhoomi’ (the land of gods) situated on banks of river Ganga has a special spiritual significance. Rishikesh, the name in Sanskrit mean ‘the hair strand of a Yogi or Sage’ – is a city that has stood the test of time in terms of high-quality Yoga teaching through attracting the best Yoga teachers from India and abroad. You should choose Rishikesh because it is known as Yoga Capital of the world, has favourable weather, is incredibly safe and friendly to international tourists. Besides this, basing yourself in Rishikesh can enable you to explore broader Himalayan treks, temples and other outdoor activities of interest in India

Choosing Rishikesh Yogpeeth as your Yoga experience

With more than 200 Yoga schools in Rishikesh, we often get this question! Rishikesh Yogpeeth is the Best Yoga Ashram in India because of 1) the Ashram is built on a mountain that students access by foot after a 30-40 min hike! we specially created this place for Yoga and meditation 2) RYP has individual teachers and a Head of Yoga education for various disciplines of Yoga; and these teachers stay onsite at the Ashram during your stay with us – this means individual attention to students and 3) All-inclusive fully residential program means you will make a deep connection and bond with fellow students and RYP teachers ‘for life’. This is also enabled through RYP’s alumni program called Yoga Bodhi
You do not have to take our word for it – across Yoga Alliance, Google and TripAdvisor our students have given us approx. 1000+ 5-Star reviews, we encourage you to read them and see if our ashram and our programs are good fit for you. Founded in 2006, we have close to two decades of experience in quality yoga teaching – 17,000+ students from 120+ countries have trusted us. 80%+ of our students are from USA, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada and Netherlands with 95%+ students returning rates
As you’d have experienced in any other services or tourist activity – setting price comes down to two factors – 1) Our input costs and 2) Customer Value. In our case the factor #1 is a major factor. Due to no vehicle access, everything at RYP has been brought up by manual labour, all construction, all grocery, all books, all yoga mats, everything. From a school that has vehicle access, this mean our input costs are at 2-3 times Rishikesh city based schools. We also are confident that the value that our Yoga programs offer, our prices are competitive in comparison to suitable alternates in India. We also offer a very competitive Early Bird and Twin sharing options, both of which are geared towards making our programs affordable to our students.

Yoga Alliance Certification
