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.
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 300 hours in India.
Our next Yoga Teacher Training India 2025 (300hour YTT) course begins on the new moon (Amavasya) October 21th and ends on the full moon (Purnima) December 4th.
It is recommended you arrive some time before and you are welcome to stay some time after the 300hour YTT ends.
