Want to participate in the best Hatha Yoga Teacher Training 200 hours in India this coming Spring 2026, but feel overwhelmed with all the options offered in the Yoga Capital of the World?

Join us at Santosh Puri Ashram, February 17th – March 19th, 2026!

We are near by and yet just far enough away from the cafe and shoping hustle of Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World. YogAnga Retreat Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings are held at Santosh Puri Ashram, approximately 20km downstream from Rishikesh, with the Ganga River and Rajaji National Park as our backyard.

Sri Santosh Puri Ashram is a hidden gem, an oasis nestled in between the overwhelming commercial yoga scene of Rishikesh and the crowded traditional spiritual pilgrimage town of Haridwar, in Uttarakhand, North India.

With less distractions, our Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings participants get the most of their 500 hours in India.

It is recommended you arrive some time before and you are welcome to stay some time after the 200hour YTT ends.

As deep as you dive into yoga, as transformational your journey will be.

Aside from your time on the mat, through lectures, discussions and essay writing, you will not only discover the path of yoga. You will also discover its destination (the goal of yoga), who have been, are and may become your various guides (teachers and gurus) along the way.

Most importantly you will discover where you are on this path and how to proceed towards your goal.

Through understanding your own journey, you will be able to have a greater understanding of the various types of students you may encounter in your classes. And gain insights into how to adjust each session accordingly to individual students. Ultimately you will open and empty (purify) your self enough to receive all that your various guides (teachers and masters) may have to offer you.

YogAnga Retreat’s comprehensive Yoga Alliance 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training curriculum will guide you through a transformational one month journey, indoctrinating you into an authentic traditional yogic lifestyle. Following the (seven) limbs of yoga, of Nath Yogi Svātmārāma and Rishi Gheranda, connect to the teaching of Matsyendranath, develop a personal sadhana and prepare yourself to teach others.
