Every programme above is run by Yoga Bhawna Mission, a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200 & 500) teaching in the Garhwal Himalaya. Our main school is in Uttarkashi on the banks of the Bhagirathi, on the road to Gangotri, with a second campus in Rishikesh. All courses are residential: accommodation in rooms with attached bathrooms and sattvic vegetarian meals are included.
The 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a 22-day course in classical Hatha yoga for a maximum of 20 students, covering asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and teaching practice, and leads to Yoga Alliance RYT 200 registration. Teachers who have completed a foundation course can continue with the 50-day 500 Hour Advanced YTTC. For an overview of training in India, see Yoga Teacher Training in India and Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh.
