What 200 Hr Graduates Say

★★★★★

"The 200-hour course changed my entire relationship with yoga. I came as a student and left as a teacher — confident, knowledgeable, and deeply inspired. Yogi Sunil is extraordinary."

Sarah MitchellAustralia
★★★★★

"I was a complete skeptic before this course. Now I understand yoga is a complete science of living. Vikash's anatomy and adjustment classes were genuinely world-class. 10/10."

James ThompsonUnited Kingdom
★★★★★

"The Ganges, the Himalayas, the morning aarti — the location alone is worth it. But it's the quality of teaching that truly makes Medhya Laya exceptional. I'm now teaching full time!"

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — 200 Hour Yoga TTC Rishikesh

Is the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh recognized internationally?
Yes. Medhya Laya is a Yoga Alliance registered school (RYS 200 & RYS 300). Graduates receive Yoga Alliance certification qualifying them for RYT-200 status, recognized in over 150 countries. This is the standard professional certification required by studios, gyms, and wellness centers worldwide.
What is the best time of year to do yoga teacher training in Rishikesh?
The best months for yoga TTC in Rishikesh are September–November and February–April — both offer clear skies, comfortable temperatures (15–28°C), and the stable weather ideal for intensive residential practice. December–January are also good but colder (mornings near 5°C). July–August (monsoon) is the least popular due to heavy rain.
How much does 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India cost?
Medhya Laya's 200 Hour TTC is priced at $1,149 (early bird) — fully residential, including 25 days accommodation, three vegetarian meals daily, all study materials, and the Yoga Alliance certification. This is significantly less expensive than equivalent programs in the USA, UK, or Europe ($3,000–6,000) while providing a superior immersive environment in Rishikesh, India.
Do I need prior yoga experience to join a 200 Hour TTC?
We recommend 6 months of regular personal practice before joining. This does not mean advanced flexibility or ability to do complex poses — it means you are familiar with basic asana and have established a practice relationship with your body. Complete beginners may find the pace challenging; students with regular practice (even at a basic level) benefit most from the program.
What is the difference between 200 Hour and 300 Hour yoga teacher training?
The 200 Hour TTC is the foundational certification — it covers the complete scope of classical Hatha Yoga practice and teaching. The 300 Hour advanced TTC builds on the 200 Hour foundation with deeper study of advanced asana sequences, Ayurveda, chakra system, mantra, and refined therapeutic teaching skills. To achieve RYT-500, you complete both programs.
Is Rishikesh safe for solo women travelers doing yoga teacher training?
Yes — Rishikesh is one of India's safest destinations for solo women. As a pilgrimage town, it maintains traditional values of respect and hospitality. Medhya Laya's residential program means students stay within the school campus, travel together for excursions (Ganga Aarti, temple visits), and form a close community. Our programs regularly include solo women travelers from Europe, North America, and Australia — many cite the safety and community as highlights of their experience.
