Overview
At Nirvana Yoga School, your journey into the heart of yoga begins where it all began, Rishikesh, the sacred birthplace of yoga, nestled along the shimmering waters of the holy Ganga and cradled by the majestic Himalayas.
Our 200-hour yoga teacher training in India is more than just a certification - it's an invitation to step into a transformative path of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Recognized by Yoga Alliance, USA, this foundational course is carefully designed to balance practical learning with the rich philosophy and timeless wisdom that yoga embodies.
Throughout this immersive training, you'll deepen your personal practice and acquire knowledge and confidence to usher others on their paths. Our curriculum consists of a robust curriculum in asana practice (postures), pranayama (breathwork), meditation, yoga philosophy, human anatomy, teaching methodology, and ethics, all coursing through the beauty and rigor of Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa traditions.
Once you complete the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, the door to anywhere in the world is open for you to teach yoga with experience as an RYT-200 or Registered Yoga Teacher.
Yet beyond the certificate, there exists something quite profound: the internal transformation that takes place when mind, body, and spirit coalesce in harmony. This journey, whether you intend to teach or only grow, will awaken a deeper sense of presence, purpose, and peace in you.
At Nirvana, we don't just teach yoga; we live it!

Exam & Certification
Yoga teaching is a skill that is given due relevance at Nirvana Yoga School. It is recognized that yoga is not just something one learns; it is actually something that one lives and breathes into existence.
Our 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh constitutes an intense and life-changing journey that nourishes both your skills and your spirit. As you draw near to the end of this beautiful journey, you step into the ready-for-teacher zone and are honored with a supportive and genuine evaluation.
This is less about being perfect and more about how much the teachings have truly grounded themselves within you-i.e., in your mind, body, and heart.
How We Assess Your Journey Toward Becoming a Yoga Teacher
- Your growth will be tested in an applied practical exam wherein you must demonstrate your knowledge of asanas, pranayama, meditation, sequencing, and safe alignment, as well as care and clarity in guiding others.
- You will be subjected to written examinations representing your understanding of the core areas of yoga philosophy, anatomy, breathwork, meditation, and the vast knowledge on which authentic teaching rests.
- Your classroom participation and active engagement throughout the 200-hour yoga teacher training in India will be observed gently, as how you show up - with presence, enthusiasm, and openness, is equally important as what you know.
- Being the last chance to teach, an assessment will let you slip into the teacher’s seat, working your way through all of your learning and receiving nurturing critiques to grow from.
- Attendance and sincere participation in all activities of the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh are plenty enough requirements for certification, for Yoga is as much about discipline and consistency as inspiration.
Your Path to Becoming a Certified Yoga Teacher
Upon the successful completion of this course, along with the successful completion of the examination process, the RYT 200 certification from Nirvana Yoga School will be awarded to you - an international certification that allows you to register with Yoga Alliance USA. The registration permits you to go anywhere in the world and freely teach yoga, sharing your voice, your light, and your wisdom with others who wish to transform through the magic of yoga.
But more than just a certificate, what you take with you is the transformation - the newfound confidence, awareness, and being present, that will, in turn, inspire your students and life. The Nirvana way is to prepare students not simply for teaching but to step into the shoes of a compassionate guide and lifelong student of yoga.
