Himalaya Yoga is a traditional yoga school rooted in the sacred foothills of Rishikesh, India. Our 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training & immersion is a flexible option for practitioners who wish to deepen their practice in an authentic environment, earn Yoga Alliance continuing education hours or complete the first part of a full 200-hour teacher training journey.
You can join the 100-hour module as a stand-alone immersion or combine it with a second 100-hour or 200-hour module (with our RYS 200) to complete a full 200 Hour YTTC. It is also suitable as Yoga Alliance continuing education (CE hours) for already certified teachers.
Trainings are offered in our Himalayan ashram in Rishikesh & Goa, at carefully selected retreat venues in Spain & Italy, and in online formats for those who cannot travel. Every location follows the same core curriculum and Himalayan lineage, adapting the rhythm to the local environment.
Whether you come to deepen your personal practice, taste ashram life, or begin a longer teacher training journey, this 100-hour course gives you a grounded foundation in asana, pranayama, meditation and philosophy in a supportive, small-group setting.
*If you are already registered with Yoga Alliance, these hours can usually be logged as continuing education (CE).
Even in a shorter format, our 100-hour program is fully rooted in the Himalayan traditions of Rishikesh. You experience ashram life, guided practice and satsang with teachers who live yoga as a way of life – not just as physical exercise.
The 100-hour course is designed to be flexible. It can be a personal retreat, a way to earn Yoga Alliance continuing education hours, or your first step toward a full 200-hour teacher training with Himalaya Yoga.
This 100-hour YTTC brings together asana, breathwork, meditation, philosophy and lifestyle in a compact yet integrated way. You leave with practical tools you can apply immediately in your own life and teaching.
Whether your intention is personal transformation, CE hours, or beginning a formal teacher-training pathway, this 100-hour immersion meets you where you are and gently opens the next step.
On successful completion you receive a 100-Hour Yoga Training Certificate from Himalaya Yoga. This certificate confirms 100 hours of structured study and practice in a Yoga Alliance–registered school. On its own, it does not grant RYT registration, but:
The 100-hour curriculum condenses the most essential aspects of our 200-hour foundation into a shorter format. You gain a clear structure for your personal practice and an understanding of how yoga can support your daily life.
Depending on your experience, you may use this course to deepen your foundation, to reconnect with yoga after a break, or as preparation for a full 200-hour training.
The syllabus introduces you to the same pillars covered in longer trainings – techniques, anatomy, yoga humanities and teaching skills – with a special focus on building a strong personal practice.
The 100 hours are divided between practice, theory and integration in a way that supports both experiential depth and clear understanding:
Exact distribution may vary slightly by location and format, but every course includes daily practice, satsang-style philosophy sessions and guided reflection time.
A typical day in the 100-hour residential training mirrors the rhythm of our longer courses, with slightly fewer days overall. Timings vary by venue and season, but usually look like:
Online versions follow an adapted schedule with live sessions, recordings and clear home-practice guidance.
Our 100-hour trainings are offered in traditional ashrams in India, retreat-style accommodations in Europe and as online immersions. Each format supports you to temporarily step out of daily routines and immerse yourself in practice.
Online students receive guidance to create a simple home practice space and are supported with recordings, manuals and live Q&A sessions.
The 100-hour immersion is offered in several locations and formats. Each setting has a unique energy, while the core content and teaching team remain aligned with our Himalayan lineage.
Details about venues, dates, group size and prices are provided on each location’s dedicated course page.
Exact inclusions (meals, transfers, excursions) may vary between India, Europe and online formats. Please see individual course pages for full details.
For the 100-hour immersion, food is kept simple, light and nourishing so that your body and mind can adapt quickly to the training rhythm. Meals are vegetarian and mostly sattvic, supporting clarity and stable energy.
More detailed information about food is shared in the pre-arrival pack for each training venue.
Free time is intentionally limited in this short immersion, but there are still gentle ways to relax and connect with the local environment.
Any optional excursions are scheduled with care so they do not disturb the depth of your immersion.
Our 100-hour locations are chosen for ease of access as well as natural beauty. Nearest airports, train stations and transfer options are listed on the course pages and in your welcome email.
Once your place is confirmed, we send you clear travel guidance so that you can arrive relaxed and ready for your immersion.
