Yoga teacher training in Rishikesh cost is hard to compare from a homepage. Schools list different numbers, and some of those numbers are tuition only. This page uses the fees on our own course pages: what they include, what they leave out, and what else to budget.
A short version: a yoga course in Rishikesh with fees that cover the room, meals and tuition is often advertised from about $800 to $1,500 for a 200-hour course. Ours starts at $950 shared. The total still depends on the length, the room, flights and the visa.
These are the live shared and private fees. Each one includes tuition, the room, three sattvic meals a day, course materials, weekend excursions and pickup from Dehradun airport (DED). Flights and the Indian visa are not included.
| Programme | Duration | Shared room | Private room | Per day (shared) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100-hour YTT | 12 days | $800 | $900 | ~$67 |
| 200-hour YTT | 25 days | $950 | $1,300 | ~$38 |
| 300-hour YTT | 28 days / 26 nights | $1,250 | $1,350 | ~$45 |
| 500-hour YTT | 53 days | $2,250 | $2,650 | ~$42 |
The 100-hour costs more per day because 12 days still has to cover the campus, the teachers and the meals. The 200-hour is the lowest per day. Indian residents pay Rs 40,000 shared or Rs 50,000 private on the 200-hour, and Rs 50,000 shared or Rs 60,000 private on the 300-hour. The 100-hour and 500-hour fees are listed in USD.
This is a foundation course, not a standalone Yoga Alliance registration. You practise alignment, basic pranayama, meditation and enough philosophy to follow the longer courses. Level is beginner to intermediate. Style is Ashtanga and Vinyasa.

Check-in is the 1st and check-out is the 28th. The gap between shared and private is $100. You can join to deepen your practice without already holding a 200-hour certificate. A 200-hour certificate, plus the teaching hours Yoga Alliance requires, is what you need when you apply for RYT 500. The certificate from this course is a 300-hour certificate and an RYT 300 pathway.

It is the 200-hour month and the 300-hour month in one stay. You finish with a 500-hour certificate from an RYS 500 school and can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 500 after the teaching hours Yoga Alliance requires. Booked separately, the shared fees are $950 plus $1,250, which is $2,200. The 500-hour shared fee is $2,250, so the course fee is $50 more, and you make one trip instead of two.
View the 500-hour courseA low headline that excludes the room and meals can cost more than a higher fee that includes them. A $600 course plus about $40 a day for food and a room is about $1,600 over 25 days.
The yoga teacher training in Rishikesh price for a 200-hour course is advertised from about $500 to $3,000. The spread usually comes from the group size, the room, and how many hours are actually taught.
Larger groups. A batch of 30 or 40 with two teachers costs less per student than a cap of 15. Simpler rooms, sometimes a dorm with a shared bathroom. And a schedule that counts self-study toward the 200 hours. Read the daily timetable before you pay.
Resort rooms, a spa, or teachers flown in for the month all sit on the invoice. A well-known name can charge more without teaching more. Our Tapovan campus has a pool, Wi-Fi, laundry and ensuite rooms. It is a training centre. Room photos are on the Rishikesh accommodation page.

The yoga course in Rishikesh with fees covered is the largest line. It is not the whole trip.
From Europe, a return to Delhi is often about $400 to $800. From the US, about $700 to $1,200. From Southeast Asia, about $200 to $500. Dehradun (DED) has flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. A Delhi to Dehradun ticket is often about $50 to $100 each way if you book ahead. These are typical fares, not a quote.
A 30-day e-Tourist visa covers the 100-hour and 200-hour courses. For the 300-hour (28 days) or the 500-hour (53 days), apply for a longer e-Visa. Fees are often about $25 for 30 days and about $40 to $80 for a longer stay, depending on nationality. Apply several weeks ahead.
A cafe meal in Rishikesh is often $2 to $4. A month of Sundays out, a market run and a massage is about $100 to $200 if you are careful, and less if you mostly eat on campus. Travel insurance is not required. A month of cover is often about $40 to $100. ATMs are in Tapovan and near Laxman Jhula. Smaller shops still prefer cash.
Course fee, a flight from Europe, the visa, personal spending and insurance. Pickup from Dehradun is included, so a taxi is only if you skip it (about $7 to $10).
| Expense | Low estimate | High estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 200-hour fee (shared) | $950 | $950 |
| Flights (Europe) | $400 | $800 |
| Visa (30-day e-Tourist) | $25 | $25 |
| Personal spending | $100 | $200 |
| Travel insurance | $40 | $80 |
| Total | ~$1,515 | ~$2,055 |
From the US, add roughly $200 to $400 for the flight. From Southeast Asia, the flight is often $200 to $300 less than the Europe line. The course fee is the fixed part.
Book six or more months before the start date and the fee is 5% lower. On the $2,250 shared 500-hour that is about $113. On the $950 shared 200-hour it is about $48.
Every course asks for a 25% deposit to hold the seat. You pay that from the course page. The other 75% is due when you arrive. We do not split the rest into monthly instalments.
Cancel 30 or more days before the start date for a full refund. Under 30 days, the fee is not refundable. You may move once to a later batch, at no charge, up to 7 days before the start date. A no-show forfeits the booking. If Divinepath cancels, you can take a full refund or reschedule within 12 months.
If you want to teach at a studio, a 200-hour certificate is the usual starting point. $950 for 25 days with a room and meals is the number to compare with a short workshop at home, which is often tuition only.
If you are not sure you want to teach, do not start with 53 days. The 100-hour course is $800 and 12 days.
At $20 a class, the $950 shared fee is 48 classes and the $2,250 shared fee is 113 classes. That is arithmetic, not a promise about what you will earn. How fast you teach that many classes depends on where you live and how often you work.
YTT batches start on the 1st of the month. The 100-hour checks in on the 1st and checks out on the 12th. Rishikesh yoga teacher training fees at Divinepath do not change by season. $950 in January is $950 in July. Flights do change.
October through March is the busy season. Mornings are cool and flights to Delhi cost more. April through June is hotter, with fewer visitors. July through September is monsoon. Flights are often cheapest then, and the river runs high. February, March, October and November are the months we suggest when someone asks about weather and a moderate fare.
These are typical advertised ranges for a 200-hour course, not a survey of every school. Divinepath's own 200-hour in Rishikesh is $950 shared, with the room and meals included.
| Place | Typical 200-hour range | Room and meals usually included? | Rough daily range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rishikesh | $800 – $1,500 | Usually yes | $32 – $60 |
| Goa | $800 – $2,000 | Usually yes | $38 – $95 |
| Bali | $1,500 – $3,500 | Varies | $65 – $152 |
| Thailand | $1,800 – $3,000 | Varies | $72 – $120 |
| Costa Rica | $2,500 – $5,000 | Usually yes | $100 – $200 |
| Europe / USA | $3,000 – $6,000 | Usually no | $120 – $240 |
We also teach in Goa and Bali. Rishikesh is the lowest of our three 200-hour shared fees, and the town is the one with the ghats and the ashrams outside the shala door. Compare the three campuses on the Rishikesh training page.
If you want room service and a spa, book somewhere else. The campus is comfortable and has a pool, and it is still a training centre. Photos are on the accommodation page.
The dining hall is vegetarian for the whole course. You can eat in town on a free afternoon. If a month without meat on campus is a problem, say so before you pay the deposit.
The day runs from early morning through the evening, with breaks. It is a training timetable, not a holiday with one class a day.
Open the Rishikesh training page and choose the 100-hour, 200-hour, 300-hour or 500-hour course. Pay the 25% deposit from that page, or message us on WhatsApp +91 8868043473 or divinepathretreat@gmail.com if you want to check a month first. Batches start on the 1st. Book six months ahead if you want the 5% early-bird rate.
You will see 200-hour programmes advertised from about $500 to $600. Check whether that number includes the room and meals. Once those are added, the total is often close to a school that lists one fee. At Divinepath the 200-hour is $950 shared or $1,300 private, with tuition, the room, three meals, materials, excursions and Dehradun airport pickup included. Flights and the visa are not.
No. 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh fees run from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand, depending on group size, the room, and what the fee leaves out. Yoga Alliance registration does not set the price. Divinepath's 200-hour fee is $950 shared or $1,300 private. Indian residents pay Rs 40,000 shared or Rs 50,000 private.
Cancel 30 or more days before the start date for a full refund. Under 30 days, the fee is not refundable. You may move once to a later batch, at no charge, up to 7 days before the start date. A no-show forfeits the booking. If Divinepath cancels, you can take a full refund or reschedule within 12 months. We do not refund part of the fee if you leave early by choice.
Tipping is not required. Teachers are paid a salary. A small gift for the kitchen at the end of the course is optional.
The price on the course page is the price for that room. There is no separate exam fee, certificate fee, or mat fee. Flights, the visa, travel insurance and personal spending are not in the course fee.
The day runs from early morning through the evening, with breaks. Light email is realistic. A job that needs long video calls at fixed hours is a poor fit. Wi-Fi is on campus.
An online 200-hour course is often a few hundred dollars for tuition only. The yoga teacher training in Rishikesh price at Divinepath includes the room, three meals and in-person teaching. The shared 200-hour fee is $950 for 25 days.
USD is the simplest for the balance. EUR is also accepted. The balance can be paid in INR. ATMs in Tapovan and near Laxman Jhula have per-transaction limits, so do not plan to withdraw the whole balance on arrival day.
