At the end of the course, we also return you from Rishikesh to Delhi. For US$85, even a taxi from the Delhi airport to Rishikesh and back. You could also travel by train (drive from the airport to the New Delhi train station, take the train to Haridwar, and drive from Haridwar to Rishikesh). The bus is an inexpensive mode of transportation, but it’s awkward and difficult for first-time visitors,

Yes, it is safe to go to Rishikesh by yourself; many tourists do it. Most of India is so different from the rest of the world that if you take your car or train, it could be a bit difficult for your first time.

New Delhi should be your point of entry as the closest and easiest airport for you to get to. If this is your first trip to India, catch a train to Dehradun, a city not far away. It's only a 30-minute drive from Dehradun, so you won't have to go through a lot of trouble.

Yes, if you let us know ahead of time, we can help you get to Rishikesh straight from the airport, bus station, or train station. When you get to Rishikesh, we'll help you figure out how to walk the short distance to our school.

About The Course

You need to make it here at least one day prior to the start of the course to be involved in the opening. The first day of the course will be doing yoga. Graduation is the last day of the course so you will leave one day after the course completes.

Yes, you can book the course together and choose the shared accommodation.

During the course, you'll have to read a few books. You can choose to start before you get to school or after you get there.

We don't have any brand-new yoga mats, but you are welcome to take one if it works for you. If not, please bring your own. If you don't have enough room in your bags, that's okay too. There are lots of stores nearby where you can easily and cheaply buy yoga mats.

We let 15 to 20 people into each YTT school.

We promise to teach you from the very basics of yoga through all of its different parts, so you don't need to have any experience to join the YTTC.

Yes, in an emergency, but you'll need to inform the teachers first. However, all classes are important, and skipping more classes might affect your overall performance. If you are ill or not feeling well, then you are welcome to skip the class.

All of the teachers are qualified as Yogis. Some have master's degrees in yoga studies and others have master's degrees in other subjects. All teachers have a Yoga Alliance certificate. They are skilled and experienced. You can watch their teaching style in demo classes or on our social media platform.

With your daily plan, you'll have some breaks. Sunday will be your free day, so you'll have time to explore. We might plan a weekend excursion during your stay. However, you will not be able to join a second course during this yoga teacher training.

It is best to wear white clothes during opening and graduation ceremonies. Try not to wear black during yoga classes. Wearing modest clothes is strongly suggested. Your clothes should not affect your motion.

Most likely, English is not their first language because they are all from different parts of the world. The classes are simple to understand, and the teachers will help you with anything. With the help of video and images, you will get all the required knowledge to perform yoga. However, you can use many translation apps to understand it better.

Accomodation & Food

You are only allowed to use your phone when you are not in class. You can use it in your rooms, dining area, and during your free time.

Yes, all rooms are equipped with Air conditioning. You can enjoy your stay during the summer. We can also shift you to private rooms only if there are enough rooms available. Moreover, it will cost you an additional fee.

We offer free and easy access to wireless internet, so feel free to bring your phone or laptop to use it.

The food at Living Yoga School is not vegan, it is only vegetarian. You will need to let us know ahead of time so that our chef can make food just for you. But, we strongly prohibit the consumption of meat, tobacco products, cigarettes, and alcohol during the course.

Yes, we will give you food that fits your wants but you need to confirm it at the time of booking so that we can make some necessary changes for you.

Yes, you will get clean, filtered water at any time, for free. We do not offer packed water bottles, but you can purchase them from the front desk.

Health & Weather

We hired a dedicated team to make sure that every meal at the school is made from fresh ingredients as an extra safety measure. It's pretty safe to eat out at Rishikesh places when you're not at school. Street foods should not be eaten if your stomach is sensitive.

The risk of getting Malaria in Rishikesh is very low. You shouldn't worry about getting a shot because it's not common in this area.

Yes, there are services equivalent to hospitals in the West in India. They might not be the same brand, but you can still find what you need here.

Should you become ill, injured, or require medical help, we will either care for you or evacuate you to a Western-style hospital, whichever option is most appropriate for you. If that’s the case, we’ll work with you to think of other ways to complete the study.

The coldest months are December through February when it can go down to 15 to 26 C: Bring warm clothing if doing the course between December and early March.

April through August is hot and wet, so wear light cotton clothes as it can be as hot as 40 degrees. The wet season ends in September. But if you’re visiting during these months, pack an umbrella or a jacket.

From October to March, the weather in Rishikesh can be warm or cold, so you should bring thick clothes, jackets, and other warm items. In general, the temperature is between 32 and 33 C.

The post is right next to our school, a 5-meter walk away. There is also a police station right next to us. The area is safe because we have CCTV cams watching 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The shops around the corner from our yoga school have most of the everyday things you will need during your trip to India or are close enough to be the same. You should remember to bring any unique items that you can't live without, like a certain personal care item or your country's favorite snack.

Go ahead and apply for a visa, but make sure it’s only one type or you'll get confused — a tourist visa. Your travel to India has to be for a journey or tourism, similar to yoga or Ayurveda vacation in Rishikesh or monument tourism in Taj Mahal in Agra. For a tourist visa,an  invitation letter is not required. So whatever you do, DO NOT say you’re going to a yoga class on your visa application form! This will keep things simple.

If you sign up for our course, you CANNOT get a study or yoga visa. Here are the ways to get in touch with the Indian ambassador in your country. Most of the time, the date a visa expires is given from the day it is granted. Please check with the office in question. Plan to get your visa at least two or three weeks before you leave for your trip.

Payment & General Questions

No, You can only use a credit card to pay for your reservation. You can pay the rest of the fees in cash or with TCs. There are additional fee of 3 to 5% if you pay using your credit card. To get cash in Rishikesh, you can also use your Master, Visa, or Electron debit card. We suggest you to pay your remaining fees in cash.

You don't have to pay extra because our school fees cover your food and accommodation. Your shared room will have a bathroom, running water 24 hours a day, a hot water heater, a bathing shower, a closet, and other basic facilities. But, if you wish to upgrade your room and book private room, then it costs additonal $150 to $200. Same goes for AC and other premium facilities.

Yes, of course. If there are any personal problems, we can move the times of your course back. The course fees paid in advance are non-refundable. Students can only join us on different days in an emergency.

Private housing costs an extra $150 USD for a 200-hour course and $250 USD for a 300-hour course. However, you must confirm your room options before you arrive here. Living Yoga School only offers limited seats for the course. We have limited private and shared rooms.

Megan200 Hour YTTC

This was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had in my entire life. I did the 200 hour yoga teacher training course during the month of December. Living Yoga School is located on the top of a hill from which you can enjoy the view of beautiful mountains (perfect for meditation especially at sunrise/sunset). The entire staffs are so friendly, helpful and approachable. The teachers are simply amazing and so knowledgeable! I felt part of the family from the very beginning. I would sincerely recommend coming here not only for teacher training course but also to live an experience that will change your life! I cannot wait to join for the 300 hour yoga instructor coaching course! You guys are the best! See you soon!

Rosy300 Hour YTTC

I did my 200 hour and 300 hour yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh at Living Yoga School. Very good experience during my stay. Rooms, accommodation, food and view from the top are excellent. Most experienced teachers in this school. It is the best place to become yoga instructor. If anyone wants to seek the knowledge of yoga, I recommend them to join Living Yoga School.

Sophia200 Hour Kundalini YTTC

I choose Living Yoga School because it was because it was in Rishikesh the yoga capital of the world and it's quite a peaceful little town, none of the chaos and scary atmosphere that people warn me about in India. I was able to walk by myself on the streets and nothing ever happened, I always felt safe during my stay.

Emma200 Hour YTTC

I choose the school was because of its complete schedule. Not only focused on yoga but also Pranayama, mediation, anatomy, mantra chanting and ayurveda. All these classes packed into 3 weeks of intense studying and yoga practicing which made me feel I got much more than what I paid for. If you are looking for a complete course this is the one I recommend.

Isabella200 Hour YTTC

I recommend Living Yoga School for 200 hour holistic yoga course. My teachers were for the most part very dedicated and passionate, really caring about us as students. It was difficult to get up early every morning but because classes were so interesting and the teacher so passionate I got up early everyday because I didn't want to miss a thing.

Olivia200 Hour Yoga TTC

Trusted yoga teacher training center in Rishikesh. The school also arrange certain outdoor activities; they took us to Kunjapuri temple, a meditation cave and to witness ceremonies in the Ganga River. All truly beautiful and amazing experiences that I really enjoyed.

Ava300 Hour YTTC

Living Yoga School is best School of Yoga in Rishikesh. It certainly changed my life and of course improved my yoga skills too, I now feel like I can do yoga poses I thought were impossible for me and I just stayed there one month!

Abigail200 Hour Kundalini YTTC

Best Yoga School in Rishikesh, Overall, I really enjoyed my stay in Living Yoga School it became my home away from home and I definitely want to someday come back to do 300 hours more.

Carmen200 Hour YTTC

The 200h YTT Course with Living Yoga School has been much more then expected at all levels. I want to say a big THANK YOU to the whole team, thank you to Guruji for opening the whole world of the Himalayan tradition of Yoga to us, the fantastic philosophy classes and meditation teachings, the connection and support I could feel. Thank you so much to Devesh for being such a competent, supportive and motivating teacher, for sharing not only hatha yoga and alignment knowledge but also knowledge of life and for sharing with us what really means to be a good yoga teacher. I can´t wait to go to Rishikesh and learn with them in person. In this almost 2 months process I started to see clearer into myself and make some important changes in my everyday life, developing more awareness, focus, discipline and joy. I was at first sceptical about an online format, but since the beginning I was really impressed with the online live teaching, the communication, the way everyone was supportive and experienced as well as the quality of the recorded material: so much knowledge and everything so well explained. I could write much more about how inspiring the whole experience was and how much will positivly influence my practice and the understanding of myself. I recommend this School to everyone!
