About Rudra Yogpeeth
Rudra Yogpeeth is a Yoga Alliance registered yoga school in Rishikesh, India, running residential yoga teacher training courses from Upper Tapovan since 2015. More than 10,000 students from over 60 countries have trained with us, and the school is registered as an RYS 200, RYS 300 and RYS 500.
Rudra Yogpeeth is a multi-style yoga school. Students work through Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa and Kundalini rather than one method, because a teacher who has only met a single style has only one thing to offer a room full of different bodies.
Alongside the asana you study pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, yoga anatomy and teaching methodology — each with a specialist teacher instead of one person covering everything.
That structure comes from the gurukul tradition of the Himalayas, where a subject is returned to daily rather than finished in a week.
It is also why batches are kept to 15–20 students — a teacher cannot correct what they cannot see, and the hands-on adjustment that makes the difference is impossible in a crowded hall.
We are a yoga ashram in Rishikesh rather than a retreat. Days begin before sunrise and the week is disciplined, but the point is never the schedule.
It is that you leave understanding why you practise the way you do. We teach the context alongside the posture: where a technique comes from, what it is for, and how to pass it on without distorting it.
Rishikesh itself is part of the training. The school sits a short walk from the Ganga at the foot of the Himalayas, in a town where yoga has been taught for centuries.
Students join the Ganga Aarti, temple visits, cave meditation and kirtan evenings as part of the course, not as an add-on.
Rudra Yogpeeth Offers
Every course at Rudra Yogpeeth is built on the same foundation — asana, pranayama and the breath work that sits underneath them — and then shaped to what you came for. Whether you are here to teach, to deepen your own practice or simply to live yogically for a month, each subject is taught by a specialist rather than one teacher covering everything, and you stay on campus with the rest of your batch for the whole course.
Together we will dive into these topics:
