The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Deep Yoga Wellness is not an accelerated certification mill. It is twenty-seven days of total immersion in the practice, philosophy, anatomy, and pedagogy of yoga — designed to turn committed practitioners into confident, competent teachers.
You will train in our riverside shala in Tapovan, Rishikesh, where the morning mist rises from the Ganges and the Himalayan foothills frame every sunrise. Our cohorts run 20–30 students — small enough that your instructors know your name, your alignment tendencies, and the specific areas where your teaching voice needs to grow.
The curriculum follows the Yoga Alliance 200-hour standards rigorously, covering asana (posture practice), pranayama (breath regulation), meditation, anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy, teaching methodology, and practicum. But we go beyond the checklist: you will learn to sequence intelligently, to cue with precision, to read a room, and to hold space for students at every level.

WHY DEEP YOGA
Six things every student notices in week one
A real teacher, named
Sudhanshu Badoni leads every cohort personally — not a rotation of strangers. His teaching is on YouTube (4,000+ subscribers); you can verify his pedagogy before you arrive.
Twenty to thirty in a cohort
Small enough that the faculty knows your alignment tendencies and your name by day three. Large enough to form the sangha you keep for years.
Lineage you can name
Curriculum traces explicitly to Adi Shankaracharya, Vivekananda, Sivananda, Satyananda, and Swami Rama — see /gurus for the full lineage.
Sattvic vegetarian kitchen
Three meals a day prepared in the shala kitchen from seasonal local produce. Vegan, gluten-free, and allergy accommodations on request.
On the western bank of the Ganges
The shala sits in Tapovan, Rishikesh — quiet enough for sunrise pranayama, walking distance to Ram Jhula bridge, the Ganga aarti, and the morning chai stalls.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an advanced practitioner to join?
No. You need at least six months of regular practice and a genuine desire to deepen your understanding. We welcome practitioners of all levels — the training meets you where you are.
Is the certification internationally recognized?
Yes. Deep Yoga Wellness is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS-200). Upon completion, you can register as an RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance, which is recognized in over 100 countries.
What style of yoga is taught?
The training is multi-style, covering Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga traditions. This gives you the breadth to teach various class formats and find your own teaching style.
Can I come alone as a solo traveler?
Absolutely. Most of our students arrive solo. The cohort becomes your sangha (community) very quickly — by day three, you'll have a cohort of new friends who understand exactly what you're going through.
What happens if I need to leave early?
We understand that life happens. If you must leave for a medical or family emergency, we offer a credit toward a future cohort. Certification requires completion of the full program.
