500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is specially designed to keep the student in contemplation of the subject matter throughout the day while also allowing them personal time. This schedule is the best integration of theory and practice, helping the student stay fresh and energetic throughout the day. The daily schedule for the first month is as follows:

Important Instructions

Discipline is an integral part of the training program and so the course routine must be strictly observed.

All classes are mandatory. Only in case of an emergency or illness can one take leave with the respected teacher’s permission. Uninformed leaves won’t be accepted, will be considered a gross breach of discipline and will affect the student’s monthly performance.

Ensure you are on time for class since you will not be permitted to enter any class once it has commenced.

Disobeying the rules and regulations could result in termination of studentship with no refund of fees.

A student must give advance intimation if they intend to skip a meal so that there is no wastage of food.

Rishikesh Yogkulam does not make arrangements for guests of students. Any activity that is not related to the course is not permitted.

Smoking and alcohol are not permitted during the training.

Evaluation and Certification

Assessments will be based on written as well as practical evaluation.

A student’s conduct will be a part of the assessment criteria.

Evaluation will be carried out only for those students who have a minimum of 90% attendance.

Upon successful assessment, the student will receive a certificate accredited by Yoga Alliance, USA.

Eligibility

The only prerequisite for our students is that they have an open mind and a thirst for learning and growth. At least 6 months of practice is recommended (though not required). Upon acceptance to the course, the student is expected to be present for every class and complete the coursework diligently.

Q: Can I enroll for both (200 hour and 300 hour) courses at once? Would you suggest waiting in between?

Ans: Yes, it is possible to enroll for both courses at once.
