An Affordable Price That Never Costs You the Quality

We keep our fees the most affordable in Rishikesh, and we keep the standard of the training exactly where it has always been. The price is low because we run our own shala, our own kitchen and our own accommodation — not because anything has been taken out of the course.

  • Same syllabus at every price. Dorm, shared or private — identical classes, teachers, hours and certification.
  • Yoga Alliance registered. RYS 200, RYS 300 and RYS 500, so your RYT registration is straightforward.
  • 17 years, 9,000+ students. A 4.9★ average across 113 Google reviews.
  • Small groups. Enough teachers in the room for hands-on adjustment and individual attention.
  • Senior teachers, not trainees. Asana, pranayama, philosophy and anatomy are each led by a specialist.
  • Everything included. Stay, two sattvic meals a day, materials, excursions, airport pickup and certification.
  • One honest price, all year. No strikethrough discounts, no countdown timers, no surprise AC or laundry charges.
  • Separate men's and women's dorms. Priced the same — the room you get never depends on what you pay.

Class in session at Rishikesh Nath Yogshala
17+Years
Welcome to Rishikesh Nath Yogshala

A Traditional Yoga School on the Banks of the Ganga

Rishikesh Nath Yogshala is a small residential school at Laxman Jhula, a short walk from the Ganga. The same four named teachers lead every batch, each owning their subject — asana, philosophy, aerial and meditation — so you are taught by the people you met on day one, not a rotating cast of guest instructors. You live, eat and practise in one place, in the foothills of Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga.

Whether you are looking for a professional teacher training course, restorative yoga sessions, or the next step from any level — beginner or experienced — our shala is your one-stop destination.

  • Small groups, individual attention
  • Yoga Alliance Registered School — RYS 200, 300 & 500
  • Traditional Hatha & Ashtanga lineage
  • Philosophy, anatomy & pranayama
  • Sattvic food & riverside stay
  • Safe, alignment-first teaching

Student Reviews

What Our Students Say

“The teachers here are very knowledgeable and absolutely fantastic! I loved the holistic, multi-dimensional aspect of teacher training that focused on asanas and alignment & adjustment as much as other essential aspects such as yoga philosophy, anatomy, ayurveda, meditation and mantra chanting … Special mention to the staff for feeding us delicious food and taking us on wonderful excursions. I highly recommend this place.”

  • “I had an amazing month doing my 200h ttc course. The environment, food, people and teacher around this place are just amazing. Especially I want to give a huge thanks to our teachers who are Yoginis and Yogis through their lives and spread their knowledge with joy.”

  • “The teachers were amazing and we could often see how excited they were to share their knowledge with us. I've learned many new things and progressed so much in my asana practice because of the way the teachers would push me out of my comfort zone.”

  • “The staff became a second family to me, it was the most wholesome time learning Yoga there. Everything was organized at all times by the staff, we were spoiled with unbelievable hospitality all throughout the course. The teachers at the school are extremely knowledgeable and have presented all material in a super engaging and interesting manner.”

  • “I had a very pleasant and deep experience in becoming a Yogateacher and dive into the authentic Yoga that Rishikesh has to offer … I feel ready now, to give something back to the world and be a good teacher. I will gladly come back when I'm in India again. Missing my teachers and the students.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the most affordable yoga teacher training in Rishikesh cost?
At $440 all-inclusive for the dorm tier, Rishikesh Nath Yogshala's 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is the most affordable in Rishikesh — and the quality does not drop with the price. The 22-day residential course includes accommodation, two sattvic meals a day, course materials, weekend excursions and Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certification. Twin shared rooms are $880 and private rooms $1,100 — same course, same teachers, same inclusions. No strikethrough discounts and no hidden AC charges.
How much does yoga teacher training at Rishikesh Nath Yogshala cost?
100 hour from $275, 200 hour from $440, 300 hour from $660, online courses from $160 and retreats from $100 — always all-inclusive of accommodation, sattvic meals (two a day on courses, three on retreats), study material, excursions and certification. These are our real prices all year round; we hold them low and hold the standard of teaching steady.
How long are the yoga teacher training courses?
The 100 hour course runs 14 days and starts on the 2nd and 15th of every month. The 200 hour course — sound healing sessions included — runs 22 days and starts on the 5th and 15th. The 300 hour course runs 22 days and starts on the 5th and 15th. The 500 hour course runs 51 days from the 5th, and the aerial yoga course runs 7 days, starting every Monday. Sunday is the day off in every course. See the full batch dates.
Are the dormitories shared between men and women?
No. Women stay in the women's dormitory and men stay in the men's — they are separate. Both are priced the same, $440 for the 200 hour course, so nobody pays more or less because of their gender. Twin shared and private rooms are also available if you would prefer your own space.
Can I practice yoga if I am not flexible?
Yes — our courses are for beginners as well. Yoga is very broad in its sense; it is not limited to flexibility. It is the art of living, and you can join at any stage of life.
Is yoga experience a must before joining?
Experience is helpful but not required. You can join without any prior experience — we start from zero.
What is the difference between Hatha, Multistyle and Ashtanga/Vinyasa?
Hatha yoga is the origin of all yoga — all other physical forms derive from it, including asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha. Multistyle mixes every form of yoga, while Ashtanga is a more intense, systematic series of postures focusing on ujjayi breath, bandha and drishti.
Do I need to bring anything?
We provide all necessary study materials, a yoga mat and basic toiletries. Please bring one pair of white clothes for the opening and closing ceremonies, plus any personal items you need.
What should I wear during yoga classes?
Please wear loose, flexible, non-transparent clothing that is not too short.
Are there holidays during the course?
Yes — Sunday is the day off. Most students use it for excursions like the sunrise walk to Kunjapuri temple.
