Sitting on the Ganges River in the Himalayan foothills, it draws students from over 100 countries each year. Rishikesh is the yoga capital of India. It\u2019s the best place for an authentic RYT 200 certification through Yoga Alliance-registered schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ganges River yoga culture here is not a trend. Ashrams line the riverbanks. Temples and meditation centers stand next to cafes filled with international students. Daily, traditional yoga teachings that India has preserved for centuries are taught here. That living context is what separates Rishikesh from any studio or online program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Rishikesh_Called_the_Yoga_Capital_of_the_World\"><\/span><b>Why Is Rishikesh Called the Yoga Capital of the World<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rishikesh is called the yoga capital of the world because it has been the center of yoga philosophy and practice since ancient times. It gained global recognition in the 1960s when the Beatles visited to study Transcendental Meditation. Today, it hosts the annual International Yoga Festival and hundreds of schools offering Rishikesh yoga teacher training recognized by <a href=\"https:\/\/yogaalliance.org\/\">Yoga Alliance USA<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studying yoga in Rishikesh puts you inside a living tradition. No other certification course offers this.

Leave at least 4 hours between your international landing and domestic departure. This time helps you clear immigration and change terminals. A prepaid taxi from Dehradun gets you to Rishikesh in about 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ii_By_Train\"><\/span><b>ii.

Practice asanas daily and wake up early. Expect 2 to 3 hours of active asana daily, plus lectures and meditation. Pack modest clothing and a yoga mat, and give yourself 2 to 3 days before your course starts to adjust to the time zone and altitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Pack\"><\/span><b>What to Pack<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light breathable yoga clothes (5 to 7 sets minimum)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modest clothing for off-campus time (covered shoulders and knees are expected)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A yoga mat, prescription medications with a doctor&#8217;s note, and a universal power adapter<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mental_Preparation\"><\/span><b>Mental Preparation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekamyogashala.com\/200-hour-yoga-teacher-training-in-rishikesh\"><strong>200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh<\/strong><\/a> schedules start by 6 AM and run into the evening.
