Akhanda Yoga Institute is a world-renowned registered school for 200 hour YTT training. We offer a variety of 100 hour YTT programs that can be combined to create your own custom specialisation for RYT300, RYT500, or RYT1000 hour designations.
All Akhanda Yoga Institute onsite teacher training programs are held at the spacious and uplifting Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram in Tapovan, Rishikesh. The Ashram offers all the comforts of home such as western bathrooms, common areas, a library, a garden, and services such as WiFi and laundry. The vaulted bamboo Yoga hall is equipped with a full array of bolsters, back jacks, cushions and blocks. And every day follows a Yogic routine that includes morning lemon water, a daily fire puja, and three tasty vegetarian Ayurvedic meals a day with vegan and gluten-free options.
Join us to partake in an in-depth exploration of carefully preserved wisdom from the Vedic tradition and the Adi Nath Shiva lineage, wisely blended with over 40 years of practical experience with a Master Teacher Trainer.
