100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

If you’ve felt the call to deepen your yoga practice, build confidence, and lay a strong foundation for teaching, the 100-hour yoga teacher training at Aradhana Yogashala in Rishikesh offers something transformative. Designed for both beginners and those wanting to reconnect with essential aspects of yoga, this course blends tradition, experiential learning, and immersion in a serene Himalayan environment.

What Is 100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training?

A 100-hour yoga teacher training (YTT) is a compact, yet deeply enriching program. It’s ideal if you:

• Are new to yoga and want structured guidance.

• Already practice and want to deepen certain areas—philosophy, alignment, meditation.

• Wish to teach online, workshops, or assist in studios before committing to longer certifications.

• Are seeking a shorter immersion to refresh your teaching or personal practice.

This training focuses on essentials: asana (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, philosophy, anatomy basics, teaching methodology, and grounding in yogic lifestyle.

Why Aradhana Yogashala’s 100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Stands Out

Located in Tapovan, Rishikesh—the spiritual heartland of yoga—Aradhana Yogashala offers ideal conditions for growth. Key highlights:

• Yoga Alliance USA Certification: After completing the 100-hour YTT, you receive certification recognized internationally. 

• Authentic Curriculum: The syllabus at Aradhana doesn’t just gloss over postures—it incorporates philosophy, ethics, and yogic lifestyle so you walk away grounded.

• Comfort & Nourishment: Accommodation is peaceful, meals are sattvic (pure, vegetarian), and the setting—surrounded by Himalayan foothills and the Ganges—supports mindfulness. 

• Experienced Teachers and Small Class Sizes: Students get personal attention, hands-on adjustments, plenty of opportunity to ask questions and refine their teaching style. 

• Early Bird Discounts & Accessible Fees: Aradhana makes yoga education reachable—there are offers when you book in advance and overall pricing designed to be affordable.
