The 50 Hours Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Vidya Mandiram in Rishikesh, India centre is a short Yoga TTC program over a duration of 7 days and 6 nights.  This short TTC program allows those interested to study the arts of yoga in a structured and holistic approach.  The program covers the essential basic foundation that is useful for those who are beginners or have been practicing yoga as hobby.   Our school aims to bring depth of understanding and practice into the foundations of yoga studies.  The program is designed to integrate body, mind and breath practices to achieve a well-rounded yoga study to inspire students in their personal and spiritual growth.

The curriculum covers the fundamental elements of yoga based on essential subjects consisting of pranayama, shat kriya, asana practices, yoga philosophy, yoga anatomy, relaxation (Yoga Nidra) and meditation.  For asana practices, our school focus on Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga styles of asana.  Students will go through 6 days of training with 1 rest day per week.  On this rest day, our school organizes a half-day excursion for students that may involve visits to one of the sacred sites in Rishikesh.  The rest day usually falls on a Sunday, but may be shifted to a weekday to avoid tourists and traffic during high season in Rishikesh.

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ” the locations is amazing. You get a sense of freedom straight away being in the mountains surrounded by animals. The teachers go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. Food was amazing and accommodation was fab. No words would do this place justice how peaceful and calm you feel. I have learned loads not only about yoga but about myself too.
