The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Adhisha offers an immersive journey into the traditional practices and deeper dimensions of Yoga.

A balanced approach to traditional yogic wisdom and modern anatomy helps students understand not only how to practice, but also how and why the body, breath and mind respond to different practices.
Throughout the training, students develop greater strength, mobility, awareness, concentration and balance while deepening their personal practice and understanding of yoga.
The course also focuses on essential teaching skills, including alignment, adjustments, class sequencing, effective cueing, modifications and teaching different levels and body types. Through practical teaching sessions and guided study, students gain the confidence and knowledge to create safe, meaningful and authentic yoga classes.
Whether your goal is to become a yoga teacher or deepen your own practice, Adhisha provides a space to learn, experience and grow through the traditional path of Yoga.
Choosing the right 200-hour yoga teacher training is about more than completing a course. It is about finding the right teachers, environment, guidance and community to support your journey.
At Adhisha, our 200-hour program is built on years of experience in yoga education and school management in Rishikesh. With 7 years of experience managing and working with leading yoga schools, we understand what students truly need to have a meaningful, safe and enriching training experience.
Our Lead Teacher, Sandeep Ji, brings extensive teaching experience and a deep understanding of both yoga practice and student needs. His experience has helped shape a program that goes beyond learning asanas, focusing on practical teaching skills, anatomy, alignment, adjustments, sequencing, pranayama, meditation, philosophy and the deeper traditions of Yoga.
Located in Rishikesh, Adhisha gives you the opportunity to experience the spiritual atmosphere and unique energy of the city while enjoying a peaceful environment away from excessive noise and traffic.
For generations, yogis, seekers and spiritual teachers have travelled to Rishikesh to practice, study and explore the deeper dimensions of life. Surrounded by the Himalayas and the sacred Ganga, the city offers a unique environment for reflection, discipline and inner growth.
At Adhisha, we believe that being in Rishikesh is itself an important part of the learning experience.
Your safety and wellbeing are among our highest priorities. We create a supportive environment where students can practice responsibly, ask questions openly and receive appropriate guidance and modifications according to their individual needs.
Students join us from different countries, cultures and traditions, and we believe this diversity makes the experience richer.

Yoga is a tradition that connects people beyond nationality, language and background. At Adhisha, we strive to create a space where everyone feels welcome, respected and supported.
At Adhisha, we don't want you to simply complete 200 hours.

Our intensive curriculum covers a broad range of subjects, thoughtfully designed to build your understanding of yoga through theory, practice, and hands-on teaching experience.
Building a Strong Foundation Through Conscious Practice
Hatha Yoga forms one of the primary foundations of the Adhisha 200-hour program. Students learn to approach asana as a practice of awareness, stability, breath and conscious movement, rather than simply focusing on physical flexibility.
Breath, Movement & Intelligent Sequencing
Students explore dynamic Yoga practices that develop strength, coordination, breath awareness and concentration.
Understanding Breath, Prana & the Subtle Body
Pranayama is explored from both traditional and practical perspectives. Students learn to observe the breath, understand its relationship with the mind and gradually develop skill in traditional breathing practices.
From External Practice to Inner Awareness
Meditation helps students move from physical awareness toward concentration, observation and stillness.
Exploring the Subtle Dimensions of Yoga
Students are introduced to traditional practices that support concentration, awareness and meditative practice.
Traditional Preparatory Practices of Hatha Yoga
Students are introduced to the traditional cleansing practices described within Hatha Yoga.
Understanding the Human Body Through Yoga
Anatomy at Adhisha focuses on practical application. Students learn how the human body moves and how anatomical knowledge can improve Yoga practice and teaching.
Understanding Movement & Individual Differences
This subject connects modern movement science with practical Yoga teaching.
Understanding the Wisdom Behind the Practice
Yoga philosophy provides the intellectual and contemplative foundation of the training.
Understanding Yoga Through Time
Students explore Yoga as a diverse tradition that has evolved across different historical periods.
Teaching With Integrity & Awareness
A yoga teacher holds responsibility for creating a safe and respectful learning environment.
Learning the Art of Teaching Yoga
This is one of the central components of the Adhisha program. Students develop practical teaching skills through observation, demonstration, practice and feedback.
From Student to Teacher
Knowledge becomes meaningful when students learn how to apply it. During the practicum, students progressively move from observation to independent teaching.
Preparing for Your Career in Yoga
The training also introduces students to the practical realities of working as a yoga teacher.
Integrating Knowledge Through Personal Experience
Self-study gives students time to process and integrate the teachings of the program.
Experience Yoga Within Its Living Environment
Rishikesh is not simply the location of the course. It is an important part of the Adhisha experience.
At Adhisha, the day is not simply a timetable of classes. It is a carefully created rhythm that allows you to practice with awareness, learn with curiosity, teach with confidence, reflect with honesty and rest with intention.
Every day is an opportunity to go deeper—not only into Yoga, but into yourself.
Please note: The daily schedule is a representative timetable. Session timings and subjects may occasionally change according to the training module, excursions, special sessions, weather conditions or other program requirements.
At Adhisha, we believe that Yoga cannot be fully understood only inside a classroom. Rishikesh is a living environment where the Ganga, Himalayas, ancient caves, temples, villages, saints and everyday life become part of the yogic experience. As part of your 200-hour journey, we take you beyond the Yogashala to experience the places, traditions and natural surroundings that have made Rishikesh a destination for seekers from around the world.
At Adhisha, we believe that Yoga is a diverse and evolving journey. Alongside the core 200-hour curriculum, students may have opportunities to experience additional workshops and specialty sessions designed to broaden their understanding of movement, relaxation, awareness and wellbeing. These sessions offer students the opportunity to explore different approaches to Yoga while discovering practices they may wish to continue after completing their training.
Bring enough comfortable, breathable and modest yoga clothing for regular daily practice. We recommend carrying clothes suitable for both yoga practice and Rishikesh's changing weather.
If you regularly take any supplements or prescribed medicines, please bring an adequate supply for the duration of your stay.

Bring comfortable footwear for excursions, walks and exploring Rishikesh.
Bring your preferred toiletries and personal-care products, including toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, skincare and any other essentials you personally use.
A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen can be useful, especially during excursions and outdoor activities.
A notebook or journal is highly recommended for taking notes, recording your practice, reflecting on your experience and writing down important teachings.
Keep your passport, visa, travel documents, insurance information and important contact details safely with you.
Most importantly, bring your curiosity, sincerity and openness to experience. You don't need to arrive perfectly flexible or physically advanced. Come ready to practice, study, ask questions, meet new people and experience the yogic way of life.

At Adhisha, we believe that food is an important part of the yogic journey. During an intensive Yoga Teacher Training, your body needs nourishment that supports energy, digestion, recovery, concentration and consistent practice. Our meals are thoughtfully prepared to provide wholesome nutrition while keeping the food light, fresh and easy to digest. We follow a predominantly Satvik approach to food, while also incorporating suitable Rajasic elements when appropriate to support the physical demands of an intensive training program.
Students receive three freshly prepared vegetarian meals every day:
Our meals are prepared fresh with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, balanced nutrition and variety, so that your daily diet remains nourishing and enjoyable throughout the course.
We aim to offer a different menu each day, giving students a varied experience rather than repeating the same meals throughout their stay.
Our regular menu is vegetarian, with vegan and gluten-free options available at all three meals.
We understand that students come from different dietary backgrounds and may have specific nutritional requirements.
If you have a food allergy, intolerance or specific dietary requirement, please inform our team before your arrival.
Customized meals can be arranged at an additional cost, depending on the ingredients and preparation required.
In Yoga, food is not viewed only as something that satisfies hunger. It is also considered an important part of how we care for the body, energy and mind. During your training, we encourage a mindful approach to eating—choosing food that is nourishing, balanced and supportive of your practice.
Our approach focuses on food that is:
Students will also be introduced to the traditional yogic understanding of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas in relation to food and lifestyle.
Our intention is not to impose rigid dietary rules, but to help students understand their relationship with food and make more conscious choices.
Hydration is an important part of your daily practice. Throughout the day, students have access to fresh drinking water and regularly prepared infused or detox water and healthy beverages.
Depending on the season and availability, these may include:
Clean drinking water is available throughout the school.
Water dispensers/coolers are provided on every floor for convenient access.
We provide RO-purified drinking water, helping students stay hydrated safely throughout their training.
Students are also encouraged to carry and refill their own reusable water bottle to reduce unnecessary plastic consumption.
Your meals are scheduled around the rhythm of the training so that you have sufficient time to eat, digest, rest and prepare for your next practice.
We encourage students to develop mindful eating habits:
Food at Adhisha is therefore not simply accommodation support—it is part of creating a balanced yogic lifestyle during your 200-hour journey.
If you have:

Adhisha does not tolerate harassment, intimidation, discrimination or threatening behaviour.
Students should understand that Yoga has deep roots in Indian culture and philosophy. At the same time, Adhisha welcomes students from around the world. We therefore encourage a balance of:
Respect for the roots of Yoga + Respect for cultural diversity + Openness to learning
No student is expected to abandon their personal identity or beliefs. Everyone is expected to respect the environment and the people around them.
A safe and meaningful Yoga community is created collectively. Adhisha provides the teachers, environment, facilities, guidance and support. Students contribute through their discipline, awareness, respect and responsible participation. When we practice these principles together, the Yogashala becomes more than a place of study—it becomes a community for learning and transformation.
By joining an Adhisha Yoga Teacher Training program, students acknowledge that they have read and understood the school's Code of Conduct and agree to follow the applicable policies throughout their stay. Adhisha reserves the right to take appropriate action when a student's behaviour seriously compromises the safety, wellbeing, dignity or learning environment of other students, teachers or staff.
In serious cases, this may include removal from specific activities or termination of participation in the program, in accordance with the school's Terms & Conditions.
At Adhisha, discipline is not about restriction.
