Usually lasting 21–28 days, a 200-hour yoga teacher training program in Rishikesh provides prospective teachers with a core certification in yoga practices. These courses cover Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, philosophy, anatomy, meditation, and teaching techniques. They are frequently registered with Yoga Alliance.
