A Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) is a structured and certified program that prepares individuals to become professional yoga instructors. It covers essential areas such as yoga postures (asanas), human anatomy, alignment techniques, yoga philosophy, breathwork (pranayama), and meditation. At Shiva Yoga Peeth, our YTTC programs offer both personal transformation and the skills required to teach yoga with confidence and authenticity.
Yoga Alliance is a globally recognized non-profit organization that sets international standards for yoga teacher training. It registers both yoga teachers (RYTs) and schools (RYSs) that meet these standards. Shiva Yoga Peeth is a Yoga Alliance registered school, which ensures our courses follow a certified curriculum, providing students with a high-quality, internationally recognized yoga education.
A Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) has completed a minimum of 200 hours of yoga training from a Yoga Alliance-registered school and is officially registered with Yoga Alliance. This credential reflects a standard of quality, safety, and ongoing education. In contrast, a non-registered teacher may not have undergone formal training or be recognized internationally. Choosing an RYT ensures you're learning from someone trained to professional standards.
As a Registered Yoga School (RYS), Shiva Yoga Peeth offers several Yoga Alliance-certified programs, including:
- 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) – Beginner level
- 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course – Intermediate level
- 500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course – Advanced level (combined 200 + 300 hours)
- Specialized Courses – Such as Prenatal Yoga, Meditation Retreats, and other in-depth yoga modules
These programs are taught by experienced instructors in a traditional, yet supportive and modern learning environment.
Rishikesh is called the Yoga Capital of the World. It is the spiritual birthplace of yoga, located along the holy Ganges River and nestled in the serene Himalayan foothills.

The city is home to renowned ashrams, spiritual teachers, and authentic yoga schools.
