This 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training takes place at our traditional ashram in Upper Tapovan, Rishikesh—where the mighty Himalayas meet the sacred flow of the Ganga. Known as the birthplace of yoga, Rishikesh offers a spiritually rich, deeply grounding environment for teachers ready to go beyond the basics.
Wake up to the sound of temple bells and birdsong. Practice yoga with breathtaking views of the mountains, meditate by the riverbanks, and find stillness under ancient trees. Each day flows in rhythm with nature—mornings of advanced practice, afternoons of immersive study, and evenings of chanting, satsangs, and reflective silence.
Himalaya Yoga’s ashram campus offers the ideal balance—peaceful and secluded for intensive inner work, yet walking distance from the vibrant spiritual heart of Rishikesh and the Ganga ghats.
Whether you're called by nature, silence, or sacred wisdom, this is the space to reconnect— with yourself, your teaching, and the timeless source of yoga.
At Himalaya Yoga, food is part of the practice. Rooted in traditional ashram living and Ayurvedic wisdom, each meal is prepared with sattvic (pure) intention—supporting your body through an intensive 300-hour schedule and keeping your mind clear and light.

Once a week, enjoy a traditional North Indian sweet like halwa or kheer. Occasional festive dishes or Ayurvedic treats are offered during celebrations or cultural evenings.
Please inform us ahead of time about any special dietary needs. We are happy to accommodate you with love and care, in alignment with yogic and Ayurvedic principles.
Outside your training hours, Rishikesh offers a sacred landscape to explore—rich in nature, spirituality, and culture. Whether you seek silence in the Himalayas, a dip in the Ganga, or a taste of local tradition, there’s something soul-nourishing for every advanced practitioner.
The sacred energy of Rishikesh will enrich your time off the mat just as deeply as your 300-hour yoga study—offering inspiration, grounding, and spaciousness.
