A 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh costs you time – 4 weeks, money, and the distance to getting there. Before deciding, it is entirely sensible to take a step back and ask, “Is it worth it?”
The honest answer is yes. This appears to be a typical course, but it’s not! The 200 hours YTT will be one of the life changing experiences in Rishikesh.
But let’s look at the reason in detail.
You are not just learning Yoga, you are living it.
While yoga classes at home are great, there is a significant difference between doing a complete yoga immersion in Rishikesh. At home, you train for an hour then go back to your everyday life. At Rishikesh, yoga is the whole day. Morning meditation, asana practice, philosophy classes, pranayama, self-study and much more, all combine to something you can not get from a weekend workshop.
Also, the environment plays a role. Since ancient times, yoga and spirituality, have been an integral part of the culture of Rishikesh. That energy is in here and is most likely to be felt by most students within the first couple of days of their arrival.
A globally recognised certification that unlocks real doors
The 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified training from Rishikesh is recognised all over the world. This means that you can work in studios, gymnasiums, retreat facilities and wellness centres all over the world. People come for the training, but never plan to teach professionally and end up creating their whole career out of it. The certification provides you with that option.
In addition, when you finish a 200 hour YTT, you are also eligible to become an RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance. It’s a valid credential in the worldwide yoga market.
The Personal Transformation is Deeper Than You Think!
Not all those who undergo 200 hour training are interested in becoming teachers. Many people visit just to further their own practice. That’s absolutely fine. Your breathing, your movement, your thoughts are changed through the training. The four weeks is usually one of the clarifying events in a student’s life, as they often describe it.
A 200 hour Yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is not simply a course. It’s an investment in you!
