What You Will Study
Thousands of students from around the world choose us every year. Here is what makes the difference.
Our school is not a commercial hub — it is a Gurukul. Nestled in Upper Tapovan, Rishikesh, the sounds of the Ganges and the Himalayan air enhance every practice. We have taught traditional yoga since 2008, not "gym yoga." Yogi Yashpal Ji, our founder, trained in the classical Sivananda tradition before establishing Yash Yoga School.
We go beyond the mat. Our 200-hour curriculum covers: Asana (Hatha & Ashtanga), Yoga Anatomy and Physiology, Pranayama and Bandhas, Yoga Philosophy (Patanjali Yoga Sutras), Mantra Chanting, and Teaching Methodology with supervised practice teaching. You graduate knowing not just how to do a pose but why.
Upon completion you receive a certificate eligible for registration with Yoga Alliance USA as an RYT-200, RYT-300 or RYT-500. Yoga Alliance certification is the global standard — recognised by studios, retreat centres and wellness employers in over 100 countries.
Graduating from Yash Yoga School means joining a family of 10,000+ teachers worldwide. We offer post-course guidance on: starting your own yoga studio, becoming a corporate wellness coach, leading international yoga retreats, and teaching online. The relationship doesn't end when the course does.
