Curriculum styles

Yoga styles taught in this programme

This is the main teacher-training track at the Rishikesh campus. The 100 to 500 hour courses teach multi-style Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa, plus pranayama, meditation, anatomy, philosophy, and teaching practicum.

Separate short courses on the same Tapovan campus: Yin Yoga TTC, Aerial Yoga TTC, and prenatal yoga teacher training. Certification steps and costs: how to become a prenatal yoga instructor. Singing-bowl Sound Healing runs in Goa, not Rishikesh.

Kundalini: We do not run a Kundalini yoga teacher training course. Breathwork and meditation appear inside the multi-style YTT timetable; that is not a Kundalini certification. If you need a dedicated Kundalini TTC, choose a school that publishes one.

On campus

How the Rishikesh campus is run

Divinepath's Rishikesh campus is in Tapovan, about a 15-minute walk from Laxman Jhula. Students who choose it over our Goa or Bali campuses usually mention the same four things:

Locally Knowledgeable Guides Our three lead teachers have taught in Rishikesh since 2011.
Holistic Curriculum Integrating Hatha, Ashtanga, and Yin with workshops on Sanskrit, chanting, and Ayurveda.
Riverfront Sessions Daily asana in the hall, plus riverbank sessions on excursion days when the schedule allows it.
Cultural Immersion Ganga Aarti ceremonies, hikes to Neer Garh waterfalls, and visits to ancient temples in Rishikesh.
How we teach

A typical training week

A week mixes classical Hatha alignment in the morning, alignment-based Vinyasa after lunch, and a quieter restorative session in the evening.

Weekends leave campus for Neer Garh, temples in Tapovan, or sunrise by the river. The 25-day shape of the 200-hour is in the Rishikesh YTT week-by-week guide.

Syllabus

What you will learn

A typical 200-hour month: asana, teaching practice, workshops, and the weekend outings.

500 hour yoga teacher training practice session at Divinepath Rishikesh

200-Hour YTT Syllabus

Classical alignment, anatomy, teaching methodology, and daily meditation by the Ganga.

Workshops & Specialty Modules

Ayurveda self-care workshops and Sanskrit chanting.

Teaching Practice & Feedback

Teach twice a week with one-on-one mentoring and constructive feedback sessions.

Weekend Field Trips

Sunrise visit to Surkanda Mata Temple, Ganga River yoga sessions, and the sacred Ganga Aarti ceremony.

Certification & Beyond

200, 300 and 500-hour graduates can register as RYT at that level. The 100-hour is a foundation certificate, not a standalone RYT.
