Course Overview

The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training course in Rishikesh offered by Sages Yoga is aimed at those who are new to the practice of yoga, pranayama and meditation. Set in the peaceful, divine atmosphere of Rishikesh, this course will provide just enough education and self-improvement.

The course, which is held at the base of the Himalayas along the sacred Ganga river, will give you a true taste of traditional yoga. You will be taught the different styles of yoga, Hatha & Ashtanga to Vinyasa in a step-by-step manner by our enthusiastic and expert teachers. Whether you are coming to yoga for the first time or just want to learn a little bit more before signing up for a full 200-hour TTC. This course will provide you with all the tools to confidently progress.

What is included

Eligibility for 200 hour YTTC

Anyone can join this course, whether a beginner, an advanced practitioner or even a curious-minded person who has never practised yoga. We at Sages Yoga strongly believe that yoga is for every body, mind and spirit.

The general eligibility criteria of the course are as follows:-

• Open to all yoga enthusiasts - no experience is required.
• An interest in learning yoga philosophy, postures and pranayama.
• Patience to follow the routine and immerse in the yogic lifestyle.
• Over 18 years of age (children can be admitted with parental or guardian permission).

What Makes This Course Special

Most 200-hour courses hand you a manual and move through the syllabus. We do it differently. At Sages Yoga, you are not just learning yoga — you are living it, in the city where it has been practiced for thousands of years. Small batches mean your teacher actually knows your name, watches your alignment, and corrects you in real time. The curriculum is structured but the environment is warm. You will be pushed, but never left behind. And twice a week, Rishikesh itself becomes your classroom — the ashrams, the river, the temples, the hills. That balance of discipline and experience is what students remember long after the certificate is framed.

BENEFITS

1. You finally understand your body
Most people practice yoga for years without really knowing what is happening inside. This course changes that. You will learn how each asana affects your muscles, joints, and breath — and that knowledge makes your practice safer, smarter, and far more intentional.

2.Stress doesn't follow you here
Between the early mornings, the river air, the structured routine, and the complete break from your regular life — something shifts within the first week. Students consistently say they sleep better, think clearer, and feel calmer than they have in years. Rishikesh does a lot of that heavy lifting on its own.

3. You build a daily practice that actually sticks
One of the hardest things about yoga is consistency at home. Four weeks of living the practice — same time, same discipline, every day — rewires your habits in a way that a weekend workshop simply cannot. Most students return home and keep the routine without even trying.

4. You leave with people who get it
Something about doing hard things together creates real friendships. Your batchmates will come from different countries and different backgrounds, but by the end of the course you will have shared early mornings, tough sessions, honest conversations, and quiet sunsets by the Ganga. Those connections tend to last well beyond the course.

Asana means body posture in yoga. It is the foundation of all yoga practices. Students learn different styles like Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Iyengar. Practice is done daily for 3–4 hours. Postures are taught step by step from easy to advanced. After basic practice, students learn flow, alignment, breathing awareness, and small body adjustments.
