If someone asks me for the best place for Yoga learning in India, my answers is always same- ‘Rishikesh’. This small town close to Haridwar is settled at the foothills of Himalaya and alongside of River Ganga; in total, its natural demography suits the best to Yoga learning. Any time of year is the best time to enjoy Yoga retreat in Rishikesh. Relatively small town hosts numbers of Yoga schools and ashrams that offer range of India yoga teacher training; so, choosing the right venue and the course that set fit to particular needs is very critical.


Yoga delivers complete message to human body, human mind, human soul and to humanity. Its learning takes us to next level of living where we feel aligned with nature and supreme power. This alighted level transforms the way of living, thinking, interpreting and deciding delivering numbers of health benefits. As Yoga has origin in India; so, we find widest range here.

Hatha Yoga Teacher Training In India- Strictly Not The Traditional

Last week I got the opportunity to visit Kaivalya Yoga at Rishikesh- the place that is known as the birthplace of traditional Yoga. It is a Yoga school with difference registered with Yoga Alliance International. The occasion was a two days seminar that was attended by the Yoga experts from across country. The agenda was to present the Hatha yoga teacher training India in simplest form. Presence of elite students from various countries graced the occasion. Although I have been to this place earlier also but this time I noticed remarkable progress here towards being the leading Yoga school matching the world-class standards in new settings of Yoga education.


Kaivalya Yoga at Rishikesh is known for offering variety of Yoga teacher training course designed on the lines of traditional Yoga but the scientific way to teach makes it different. Only this one combines Ayurveda teaching with yoga with a vision – ‘without understanding of body & its constitution, Yoga benefits can’t be derived’. To follow this vision, Ayurvedic and dietary consultations are made the part of curriculum of yoga TTC. The approach to teach Yoga is not limited to impart only the knowledge of practicing Hatha poses but the commitment is to make the true professionals who could face the challenges at professional, practical and competitive grounds. The friendly company and guidance of best yoga teachers in Rishikesh make the Yoga learning a unique experience for everyone.

During last couple of years, I have been at numbers of Yoga schools; I noticed a big difference everywhere. The focus has shifted upon the simplicity and customization. Numbers of traditional Hatha Yoga exercises at Kaivalya Yoga too are made simple for basic level students. Customization of courses facilitates the students to choose the best Yoga teacher training course according to personal plans. Yoga retreat programs are designed to match the requirements at personal level while 200hrs or 500 hrs Yoga TTC are modeled to match the professional and advance level requirements. So, selection of right course is very critical.
