What is Yoga
Teacher Training Course?
How to become an RYT with Yoga Alliance?
A Yoga Teacher Training course (YTT) is a structured, in-person program — usually 200, 300 or 500 hours — covering asana, anatomy, pranayama, teaching methodology and yoga philosophy, so graduates can register as a Yoga Alliance RYT and teach anywhere in the world.
Learning yoga is the dream of every yoga lover — for many, it's also a calling. A Yoga Teacher Training course is how that passion becomes a profession. Choose from our 200 Hour, 300 Hour or 500 Hour Yoga TTC, each registered with Yoga Alliance, USA under its official RYS 200/300 curriculum standards. Completing your training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS) means you graduate eligible to teach yoga alliance-certified classes worldwide, with the knowledge and proficiency employers and studios look for.

Healthy Yogic Food
Organic, Raw, Yogic Diet, Healthy
What we eat, not only influences our physical well-being, but also our emotions and thoughts. Yoga does not dissect food into proteins, carbohydrates or fats, instead, it classifies them according to the effect they have on the body and mind, into three types Sattva, Rajas and Tamas

Reasonable price Definitely a great place to learn yoga. All the faculties, management and the people around the center were extremely helpful. I've completed by 200 hour YTTC from this yogashala. I had completed my 100 hour before during last year November and I did another 100 hour this time. Each and every class was well organized and at the end got an opportunity to practice yoga on the banks of the river mother Ganga. That was a great experience. I truly recommend this center for everyone. I hope I'll be back sometime soon again to learn more from here.

Aatm Yogashala is like a home in India for me. My experience studying here was one of the best experiences I ever had during my 200 hours TTC. The personal in the school is always there to help you and the teachers have a great knowledge that share with you from the heart. I did my course in Spanish with SERAKI here, and have this course in Spanish language was a great opportunity to don't miss any important information from the classes for me. I recommend this school to do the YTTC, you won't retreat and you will have a transformative experience. Thank you to all the persons that made this experience possible 🤍

I stayed one month at Aatm Yogashala for the 200H Yoga teacher training course, and it was an incredible, rich and human experience! Lovely staff always taking care of us, professional and so kind teachers who push us to our limits to give the best of ourselves! I felt like a family surrounded by wonderful and caring friends. I finished this experience grown with a brain full of knowledge and a heart full of love! I didn't want to leave this magical place and I will definitely go back soon! Thank you all for making my stay so amazing 🥰

What a wonderful, enriching experience. A big thank you to everyone at this peaceful and welcome place to create such a great time. I did a 10 day retreat and I went with very helpful teachings. It was great to get deeper insight into Yoga philosophy and deeper knowledge about Ayurveda and anatomie. Special thanks to Ashtanga teacher Neeraj for guiding me back to my Ashtanga practice. I appreciate his kind of demanding and at the same time attentive teaching. Everyone there was always very helpful in all matters. The room was spacious, comfortable bed, always warm water and the food was delicious and healthy. Thank you so much 🙏🏼✨

Place I'll be back soon without a doubt. You've completely exceeded my expectations. From family treatment, accompaniment in every circumstance, professionalism in classes. True teachers from discipline, responsibility and knowledge. I always felt at home. For me, an experience of total growth, from practice to heart, and from heart to practice. Thank you for being an example on my way. See you soon, family. Lots of love ✨🤍 Namaste Ji 🙏🏼 🕉️

At Aatm Yogashala I have attended 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training course. They have a great team of professional and dedicated teachers with several years of experience in all subjects, including Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama, Ayurveda, Anatomy, Philosophy, Mantras and Meditation. I have learned a lot, although the time was a bit short, which did not allow for deeper understanding of many nuances of performing and teaching asanas, alignment, adjustment, etc. Also, it would have been desirable to learn more about teaching methodology, class design, sequencing, etc. Also, to have more time to practice teaching. The facilities, training halls, dining room, etc. were pretty good. The private rooms were okay, with some basic comfort, although cleanliness could be improved. The food was healthy and delicious. There were a few nice trips to temples, ashrams, caves, and other interesting places, which was included in the program (and price). Staff was very nice, welcoming, polite, and very helpful. I was offered free taxi ride from Dehradun airport to the ashram. Overall it was a very positive experience. I've met many interesting people from all over the world and made many good friends.
