Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our 100-hour yoga teacher training program in Rishikesh. Can't find your answer? Contact us on WhatsApp.
What is a 100-hour yoga teacher training?
A 100-hour yoga teacher training is a foundational certification program covering Hatha yoga asanas, pranayama basics, yoga philosophy, basic anatomy, and meditation techniques. It is ideal for beginners wanting to deepen their personal practice or start their teaching journey.
Is 100-hour YTT enough to teach yoga?
A 100-hour certification provides a strong foundation but is considered a stepping stone. Most yoga studios require a minimum 200-hour certification (RYT 200) to teach professionally. The 100-hour program is perfect for personal growth and preparation for advanced training.
What is included in the 100-hour yoga TTC at Anantadrishti?
Our 100-hour TTC includes 12 nights accommodation, 3 daily Sattvic meals, course materials, a training manual, cultural excursions including temple visits and Ganga Aarti, waterfall hikes, and a Yoga Alliance continuing education certificate.
How much does 100-hour yoga teacher training cost in Rishikesh?
100-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh typically costs between $500-$1200 USD depending on the school and accommodation type. At Anantadrishti Yoga, we offer competitive pricing with all-inclusive packages covering meals, accommodation, and course materials.
Do I need any experience to join the 100-hour yoga course?
No prior yoga experience is required. Our 100-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is designed for complete beginners as well as intermediate practitioners. The curriculum starts from the foundations and progressively builds your skills in asana, pranayama, and meditation over the 13-day program.
How long is the 100-hour yoga teacher training program?
The 100-hour yoga teacher training at Anantadrishti is a 13-day, 12-night fully residential program. Classes run from 6 AM to 8 PM daily, with scheduled breaks for meals and personal time. This intensive format ensures you receive focused, immersive training in the heart of Rishikesh.
Can I upgrade to 200-hour YTT after completing 100 hours?
Yes, 100-hour graduates can upgrade to the full 200-hour yoga teacher training certification for just $800 more. Your 100 training hours will be applied toward the full RYT 200 certification, making it a flexible pathway for those who want to become certified yoga teachers at their own pace.
What makes this different from a yoga retreat?
Unlike a yoga retreat that focuses primarily on relaxation and practice, our 100-hour yoga teacher training follows a structured curriculum with formal assessments, teaching methodology, anatomy education, and philosophy studies. You receive a certificate of completion recognized for continuing education hours, not just a relaxation experience.
What is the daily schedule like?
A typical day begins at 6 AM with pranayama and meditation, followed by a Hatha yoga asana class. After a sattvic breakfast at 9 AM, afternoon sessions cover anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology. Evening sessions include gentle practice, mantra chanting, and meditation, ending around 8 PM. Sundays include cultural excursions.
Is accommodation included in the 100-hour yoga course fee?
Yes, accommodation is fully included in the course fee. You can choose between shared rooms ($1,000 USD) or private rooms ($1,100 USD). All rooms are located in Tapovan, Rishikesh, within walking distance of the Ganges, and include attached bathrooms, hot water, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi access.
What should I bring to the yoga teacher training?
We recommend bringing comfortable, modest yoga clothing, a reusable water bottle, a notebook and pen for philosophy classes, sunscreen, insect repellent, any personal medications, and an open mind. Yoga mats are provided for use during the course. Rishikesh is conservative, so modest clothing is advised outside the yoga shala.
Will I receive a certificate after the 100-hour yoga course?
Yes, upon successful completion of the 100-hour program, you will receive a certificate of completion from Anantadrishti Yoga, a Yoga Alliance registered school. This certificate counts toward continuing education hours and can be applied toward a full 200-hour RYT certification if you choose to upgrade.
