At 8 Limbs Yoga School, yoga is approached as a complete practice by combining asana, breathwork, meditation, philosophy and practical learning. Our yoga teacher training programs in Rishikesh are designed to help students develop both a deeper personal practice and the foundations needed to teach yoga with confidence and clarity.

Based in Rishikesh, our residential training brings traditional yogic teachings into a focused learning environment, with guidance from experienced teachers and a community of students from around the world.

Our yoga teacher training programs go beyond physical postures, combining traditional yoga practices with practical teaching, breathwork, meditation and philosophy. Students develop a deeper personal practice while learning the knowledge and skills needed to teach with clarity and confidence.

The curriculum brings together Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Philosophy, Alignment & Adjustment, Teaching Methodology and other traditional yogic practices.

Yoga teacher training is not only about the hours spent on a yoga mat. It is an immersive experience shaped by practice, study, shared meals, reflection and the rhythm of life in Rishikesh.

At 8 Limbs, students have the opportunity to step away from everyday routines and create space for focused learning, personal practice and connection with a community of fellow practitioners.
