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 500 hours in India.
