Why Us

Why People Love Us
I wish to pass on my salutations and congratulations to all the team at Yog Dham yoga teacher training center in Rishikesh for a well structured and well executed 200-hour course. For those looking for an authentic Hatha yoga course which is facilitated by exacting but patient practitioners, this is the course of choice. The instructors were all highly knowledgeable and always willing to pass on this knowledge to their students. The course nourishes both mentally and physically, expanding into all aspects of Patanjali’s yoga sutras. Pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and asanas are all skilfully taught so that both experienced and novices, like my wife and I can gain insight into the deeper meanings of yoga. The course is experiential, allowing you to live and breath yoga for 28 days, with the opportunity to develop your own personal practice and become a safe and effective yoga instructor. As a physiotherapist, I have seen the many benefits to be had from yoga and this course will help to facilitate your ability to pass on this valuable knowledge. From research and conversations had whilst in Rishikesh, I personally feel that this course is the most balanced and structured available and we can not recommend the team at Yog Dham enough. Yours in Yoga, Patrick and Lisa Janes.
LISA JANES200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
IT’S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ~ A YOGIC WAY OF LIVING TRANSFORMS ONE’S LIFE FOR THE BETTER. As a complete novice (with only a month’s prior experience with Hatha Yoga), I can attest to this. And from the aforementioned stand-point, I pen my review. The initial hurdle was challenging – But I might add here, the struggles of persevering through are worth it. In all respects, this pain is sweet. As you twist your body through a myriad of poses, your mind morphs into a machine – driven by determination, discipline & an awareness of your own limitations. You listen; you watch; you learn and re-learn. The ethos is simple: With proper technique, one prevents injury. Teachers are always there to make sure you’re safe. Never be afraid that you’re not good enough, or that you don’t have the capacity to succeed in performing certain Asanas/sequence of movements. Let it go, give it time to digest, and inch your way forward because YOU WILL PROGRESS. The course is there to equip you with these skills. *** There is an element of self-practice involved. Do what you need to do (embrace all teachings in your own way) just don’t give up. *** The atmosphere is serene; the diet, clean and organic The philosophy – a blessing in insight, Daily breath is a gift of clarity… (through which) … Meditation comes naturally. In addition to this, ~ Anatomy heightens your understanding of form + function as morning & evening classes build strength whilst sharpening alignment. Overall, I’ve had the best experience! There is a peace that envelops my mind, body & soul – like a warm blanket on a cold night. >> This evolution {from former work-stress to a state of tranquillity} makes one utterly renewed and happy Thank you all at Rishikesh Yog Dham ~ Arvind Sharma ji, Yashpal ji, Dr. Gaurav ji, Ajay ji, et al. What you’ve imbued in me is priceless. I leave without regret; only the verve and conviction of continuing on this new-found journey all the days of my life. NB: To anyone ambivalent about taking the leap, I say: Jump! 😀
LINETTE (GRACE) LOWHatha Yoga Teacher Training
I felt like at home. The team of Yog Dham created the atmosphere of coziness, care. Good rooms, everything clean. And the food is something special. Everybody wanted to take the Chef home :). The intensive learning process was supported by the amazing environment. Thank you to all Yog Dham team.
VICTORIA ZHU200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
After days of looking for the right school, I found the perfect match! This is the place, where you find a passionate teacher, who really love their jobs. And they try to pass this passion to you. Beginners and Intermediates, both alike, learn a lot of new aspects of yoga. Not only in asanas but in philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, mantra chanting and cleansing as well. In four weeks you get a profound foundation from where you can improve yourself even after the training. I´ve just wanted to do a four-weeks-yoga-experience, but after those four weeks, I´m confident to hold classes on my own. Besides the Yoga teacher training, I met amazing people, who had their unique stories. I really enjoyed their lovely company and I miss our after-dinner-chats on the balcony. 😉 The rooms are spacious and clean, with your own bathroom. You can definitely live there for four weeks without anything missing. Back home I´m not only missing Yoga, but also the healthy and delicious food, which was prepared glutenfree especially for me. Thank you so much, I had an awesome time and I would like to come again, maybe for the 300 hrs YTT. If you struggle with finding the right school, please feel free to contact me, I´ll be happy to answer your questions. Just send an email to [email protected]
BIANCA WAGNERYoga Teacher Training
The team at Yogdham is well balanced and highly knowledgeable in their fields. On completion, I have a strong sense of confidence in not only practice yoga but the concept of a yoga life, this is irreplaceable and I could not have asked for a better place to take this certification. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to expand their mind on yoga life and knowledge to teach. Thank you Yogdham!
SONYA LAGAREYoga Teacher Training
It’s really hard to choose a school for the Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh – there are so many. I was completely lost times, but somehow I made the right decision. Rishikesh Yog Dham was the best school I could imagine! It’s not just that they offer really good Hatha Yoga classes. We learned everything about the Asanas and how to create a good Yoga sequence. Besides we also learned a lot about the Yoga philosophy and anatomy – things you definitely need as a good teacher. Rishikesh Yog Dham always creates just very small groups, so you get individual help and advice. I had a really good time there, they cared about us so much. Yog Dham is such a pleasant place that I didn’t want to leave. And not just because of the delicious and healthy food. The most special thing about Rishikesh Yog Dham are the people – you will love all of them! Whatever hard times you are going through at the moment, they are always there to help you and to make you smile. I already miss them so much and hope to come back soon. Thank you all for the great time and everything I was able to learn there.
ANNA STEINBERGERYoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
I had an amazing time at Yog Dham, the staff are very knowledgeable and experienced so you will be in good hands. One of the best decisions I ever made to impulsively book my learning there, don’t hesitate – do it now! You will never regret it. ŠÁRKA
Z WATT200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
I can only say positive things about Rishikesh Yog Dham. Classes are up to 15 people. This is perfect to get individual focus on learnings throughout the course. Arvind (who was accredited at Yog Peeth) is an inspiring teacher. He is so passionate about yoga, it shows through his willingness to teach & there’s no judgment. The course is suited for any level of experience. The schedule of this course is perfect – yoga in the morning & afternoon. Food was fantastic! It was a challenge doing yoga teacher training. It tests you physically & emotionally. But the reward at the end is incredible. There are a lot of places to choose from in Rishikesh. Yogdham stood out to me with its location being out of town (only a 15 min walk), this is great during savasana as there’s minimal noise & traffic heard outside!

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

At Rishikesh Yog Dham we offer the 200 Hour TTC, the 300 Hour TTC and the 500 Hour YTTC. If you have some yoga experience or even are new to yoga, you are able to enroll in the 200 TTC. It is suitable for both a fresher and an intermediate level as it is a foundational program. After completion, you will be qualified to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT200 with a globally recognized accreditation.

The 300 Hour TTC is an advanced program, ideally for students who have already completed the 200 Hour TTC. This course is designed to deepen your understanding of yoga and take your teaching to the next level and open greater opportunities for your own practice of yoga as a way of life.

The 500 Hour TTC is the full completion of both the 200 and 300 Hour YTTCs, so you will graduate as a highly-specialized yoga teacher uniquely qualified and equipped with yogic philosophy.

The only prerequisite for our students is that they have an open and curious mind and want to learn and to grow in their time here. Although some basic yoga knowledge is beneficial, we have found that the process of unlearning and relearning takes place for many of our students, who know the asanas but not the meanings behind them. We have students with no experience whatsoever on mats alongside students with years of experience, with our teachers incredibly skilled to balance the range of knowledge.

200 Hour TTC – $1450 USD for private accommodation, $1300 USD for shared accommodation

300 Hour TTC – $1850 USD for private accommodation, $1700 USD for shared accommodation

500 Hour TTC – $3300 USD for private accommodation, $3000 USD for shared accommodation

Each course total cost covers the tuition, accommodation with a private room and bathroom, three vegetarian meals per day and Sunday excursions.

To give the maximum individual attention and contact time to our students, we restrict each batch size to 12-15 students.
