Rudra Yogpeeth
Namaste and welcome to Rudra Yogpeeth, a Yoga Alliance-certified yoga school in Rishikesh. In 2010, we opened our doors in Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World, with a single commitment: to teach yoga the way it was always meant to be taught. A decade later, that commitment remains unchanged.
Today, we are a Yoga Alliance USA-registered school (RYS 200, RYS 300, and RYS 500) and rated 4.9 out of 5 by students from over 60 countries at our campus in Rishikesh. We are proudly recognized as the Best Yoga School in Rishikesh India offering authentic Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh.
Since our very first batch of students, our mission has been simple: to share real, traditional yoga with every student who comes to us openly, honestly and with full dedication. Over the years, we have welcomed a growing family of students from the United Kingdom, Germany, and over 60 other countries.
Each one leaves not only transformed within but also empowered to carry that transformation forward, stepping into the art of teaching with clarity, confidence and heart.
Whether your goal is personal growth or becoming a certified yoga teacher, Rudra Yogpeeth provides the foundation, clarity and direction to move forward with confidence as the Best Yoga School in India.

When a teacher holds a Yoga Alliance credential, studios, retreats, and wellness centres worldwide recognise and accept it.

life at Rudra Yogpeeth is about stepping into a new way of living, where everything around you encourages you to slow down and go deeper.
In Rishikesh, mornings begin with the sound of the flowing Ganges and cool Himalayan air. You practise on the banks of the holy river, meditate as the sun rises over the mountains and soak in the spiritual energy of the yoga capital of the world. Evenings bring the Ganga Aarti, filling the air with light, chanting and a stillness that is hard to find anywhere else.
Evenings bring the Ganga Aarti on the ghats — lamps on the water, chanting, and a stillness that is hard to find anywhere else. On Sundays we walk out to the waterfalls, the caves and the temples around the valley.
Your days here include sattvic meals, yoga philosophy, anatomy and the art of teaching that builds real clarity and confidence. You share this journey with students from around the world, growing together like a family.
“By the end of your journey the change feels natural and real. You return home with a calmer mind, stronger discipline, and a deeper understanding of yoga.”
Pranayama, meditation and asana to awaken body and mind in stillness.
Nourishing vegetarian food that energises without heaviness, eaten mindfully.
Deep dives into yoga sutras, anatomy, and teaching methodology with experts.
Close the day with guided meditation, mantra, and reflective stillness.

Rudra Yogpeeth
Ask anyone who has trained in Rishikesh what made it different, and the answer is rarely about the curriculum. It is about the place — the Himalayas at your back, the Ganga in front, temples around every corner and a town that has lived and breathed yoga for thousands of years. Rishikesh does not just host yoga; it is built from it.
Yoga in Rishikesh is a full life, not a scheduled class. Your day begins before sunrise, your meals are sattvic, and your evenings are spent by the river. By the end of the first week, most students notice something has already begun to shift, a quietness, a focus, a sense of being exactly where they are supposed to be.
The teachers who come to Rishikesh are not here for a season. Many have spent decades studying here, receiving knowledge passed down through generations of practitioners. That depth shows up in how they teach, not from a manual but from lived experience.
Rishikesh has earned its reputation as the home of serious yoga education. The yoga studios here are held to a high standard, with structured programs, qualified instructors and certifications that are recognised by studios and employers worldwide.
Something about Rishikesh makes it easier to look inward. The stillness is real. Students who arrive carrying stress, doubt or simply the noise of ordinary life find that it quietly falls away. By the end of the training, most leave not just as better yoga teachers, but as clearer, calmer versions of themselves.

Questions You May Have
Rudra Yogpeeth is located Tapovan Rishikesh, Uttarakhand 249137, India. It is a quiet, low-traffic area surrounded by the Himalayas, a short walk from the Ganga.
At Rudra Yogpeeth the 200 hour yoga teacher training is ₹18,999 for a dormitory bed, ₹25,999 for a 2-sharing room and ₹44,999 for a private room. The fee is all-inclusive — tuition, accommodation for the full 24 days, three sattvic vegetarian meals a day, study materials and your certificate — and it is the same for every nationality. Nothing is added later.
Rudra Yogpeeth was established in 2015. Since then, we have trained over 10,000+ students from more than 60+ countries.
Yes. We are a Yoga Alliance USA registered school, RYS 200, RYS 300 and RYS 500. Students can register as RYT 200 or RYT 500 after completing their course.
We offer 100-hour, 200-hour, 300-hour and 500-hour yoga teacher training courses in Rishikesh.
The 200 hour is the entry-level qualification: it takes you from practitioner to teacher and lets you register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200. The 300 hour is the advanced course that follows it — you must already hold a 200 hour certificate to join. Complete both and you become an RYT 500. In practice the 200 hour teaches you to teach; the 300 hour deepens philosophy, anatomy, adjustment and your own practice.
The 200 hour yoga teacher training is the usual starting point and assumes no teaching experience. If you want a shorter introduction first, the 100 hour course covers the foundations over 12 days. Both are taught step by step, and you do not need to be flexible or advanced — a sincere interest and a willingness to show up every morning matters far more.
The 100 hour runs 12 days, the 200 hour 24 days, the 300 hour 28 days and the 500 hour 55 days, all starting on the 1st of each month. The specialist courses — aerial yoga, prenatal and postnatal, and sound healing — run seven days, from the 24th to the 30th of every month.
No. Yoga Alliance requires a completed 200 hour teacher training before a 300 hour, and we follow that. If you hold a 200 hour certificate from any registered school anywhere in the world, you are eligible to join our 300 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.
Yes. A 200 hour certificate from a registered school is the recognised standard for teaching worldwide, and most studios hire on it. It covers asana, pranayama, philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology, and our course ends with supervised teaching practice, so you leave having actually led a class. Many teachers add a 300 hour or a speciality such as aerial or prenatal later, once they know what they enjoy teaching.
Yes. Alongside the hour-based courses we run three seven-day specialist trainings in Rishikesh: an aerial yoga teacher training in the hammock, an 85-hour prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training that counts towards the Yoga Alliance RPYT credential, and an ancient sound healing teacher training covering all three levels. Shared rooms are ₹17,999 and private rooms ₹21,999 on all three.
Yes, and a large share of our students are women travelling alone. Rishikesh is a pilgrimage town — alcohol and meat are not sold, and Tapovan is quiet and walkable. You stay on campus with other students for the whole course, meals are provided, and our team is reachable at any hour. We are glad to arrange your airport pickup so you are not finding your way here on your own.
Comfortable clothes you can move in, something warm for early mornings and the winter months, a shawl or long skirt for temple visits, a reusable water bottle, any medication you take, and a notebook. Mats, props and study material are provided. Rishikesh has shops for anything you forget, so pack lighter than you think.
Yes. A deposit reserves your place and the balance is settled when you arrive. If your plans change we can move your booking to a later batch, provided you tell us at least 30 days before your start date; the transfer stays valid for a year. Write to us on WhatsApp and we will set it out clearly before you commit.
Yes. Students must complete a written and practical assessment at the end of the course. Our teachers prepare you thoroughly throughout the training.
