Learn Yoga. Understand It. Live It. Share It. A Yoga Alliance RYS 200 day course, spread across four months.
A yoga teacher training journey is not only about learning how to conduct a class. It is about understanding your own practice before learning how to guide someone else.
At Shivoham Retreat, our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Dehradun is designed for aspiring yoga teachers, dedicated practitioners and beginners who want to explore yoga in a structured and meaningful way. It is a Yoga Alliance Registered School (RYS 200) programme, run as a day course across four months, so you can train seriously without stepping away from work or family.
Through asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and practical teaching sessions, the programme helps you build a strong foundation while experiencing the discipline and awareness of a yogic lifestyle.
A 200 Hour Yoga TTC in Dehradun is an immersive training programme created to take students beyond the experience of attending a regular yoga class.
In a daily class, the primary focus is usually your own practice. During a teacher training course, you begin asking deeper questions. Why is an asana performed in a particular way? How does breath affect movement? How should a class be sequenced? How can an instructor communicate safely and clearly? What do traditional yogic teachings say about the practice beyond the mat?
The Yoga Teacher Training in Dehradun at Shivoham Retreat brings these elements together through theory, practice, observation and teaching experience. The course is suitable whether your goal is to eventually teach yoga or simply to develop a more disciplined understanding of your personal practice.
Students explore:
If you are looking for a structured yoga course in Dehradun rather than occasional classes, a 200-hour programme gives you the opportunity to study yoga as a complete system.
Yoga education needs more than a timetable. Your surroundings, teachers, routine and community all influence how deeply you are able to engage with the practice. Shivoham Retreat creates an environment where students can step away from everyday distractions and dedicate focused time to learning.
Explore yoga through practices rooted in traditional principles, while understanding how they can be approached responsibly in modern life.
The course is led by Tripti, who guides the practical sessions, discussions, demonstrations and supervised teaching practice throughout the four months.
With only 7-8 students in a batch, there is room to ask questions, understand corrections and develop at your own pace. Tripti teaches every cohort personally, so you learn directly from her rather than from an assistant.
Teacher training is not only theoretical. Students gradually learn how to demonstrate, instruct, sequence and communicate during a yoga class.
Dehradun's greenery and Himalayan foothill setting provide a naturally calming atmosphere for yoga practice, meditation and self-study.
The course encourages consistency, mindfulness, disciplined practice and greater awareness of daily habits.
Train alongside people who may come from different backgrounds but share a common intention to understand yoga more deeply.
Study foundational yoga postures through regular practice, alignment awareness and an understanding of how different asanas work together. The focus is not simply on achieving difficult postures, but on developing stability, awareness and consistency.
Explore structured and dynamic yoga sequences that develop concentration, strength, mobility and discipline. Students are introduced to the importance of breath, movement and continuity within practice.
Learn traditional breathing practices and understand how breath awareness can support concentration, emotional steadiness and asana practice. Sessions introduce different pranayama techniques gradually, according to the course structure.
Develop a consistent meditation practice through guided techniques designed to improve awareness, observation and mental focus. Meditation becomes an integral part of the training rather than an occasional activity.
Explore the principles that form the philosophical foundation of yoga. Students are introduced to traditional yogic concepts and learn how philosophy relates to practice, teaching and everyday life.
Understand the body's basic structures and movement patterns relevant to yoga. The aim is to help aspiring teachers approach movement more responsibly and understand why every body may experience an asana differently.
Explore alignment principles, common mistakes and different approaches to guiding students safely. Students learn that adjustment is not about forcing the body into an ideal shape, but about supporting a more conscious practice.
Learn the practical skills required to guide a yoga class: communication, demonstration, observation, instruction, class management, student interaction and teaching confidence.
Understand how individual postures can be connected to create logical and balanced yoga classes. Students gradually explore sequencing for different levels and class objectives.
Experience traditional mantra practices alongside meditation, and learn about their role within yogic traditions.
Develop an introductory understanding of selected mudras and bandhas, and how they relate to traditional yoga practice.
Students are introduced to traditional yogic cleansing techniques under suitable guidance.
Put your learning into practice by planning and conducting supervised yoga sessions. Feedback helps you identify strengths, improve communication and develop confidence as an instructor.
The programme is designed for people with different intentions and levels of experience.
If you want to begin a professional journey in yoga education, the course provides foundational knowledge and practical teaching experience.
You may already practise regularly but want to understand anatomy, philosophy, sequencing and methodology in greater depth.
You do not necessarily need to be highly flexible or experienced to begin studying yoga seriously. Please confirm admission requirements with our team before enrolment.
Wellness coaches, therapists and professionals working in complementary fields may use the training to deepen their understanding of yogic practices.
Fitness instructors looking to understand yoga methodology and mindful movement may benefit from the structured curriculum.
Students interested primarily in meditation can develop a broader understanding of how asana, breath, philosophy and lifestyle complement meditative practice.
Students travelling to India for yoga education can experience structured learning in Uttarakhand while staying close to the Himalayan yoga region.
Not everyone joins teacher training to become a professional instructor. For many students, the course becomes an opportunity to build discipline, awareness and a more consistent relationship with yoga.
Develop a strong practical foundation through regular Hatha and selected Ashtanga-based practices. Learn posture fundamentals, movement awareness and responsible progression.
Study breath awareness and traditional pranayama practices, while understanding the importance of preparation, technique and consistency.
Build a daily meditation routine using guided concentration, observation and mindfulness-based techniques.
Explore foundational yogic principles and understand how yoga extends beyond physical postures into personal discipline and awareness.
Learn basic anatomical concepts relevant to yoga, including movement, joints, muscles and practical considerations for safer teaching.
Understand alignment principles, individual variation and responsible methods for assisting students during practice.
Develop communication, demonstration, observation and class-management skills required to guide students confidently.
Plan and teach supervised sessions while receiving practical feedback from instructors.
Explore how mindfulness, routine, food, self-study, discipline and awareness can become part of everyday living.
Classes run six days a week, Monday to Saturday, as a single two-hour session. You choose the morning batch or the evening batch at enrolment and stay with it for the course. There are no afternoon sessions, which is exactly why the 200 hours are spread across four months instead of being compressed into a month away from home.
A two-hour session before the working day starts, for students who want to practise early and keep their evenings free.
A two-hour session after work or college, for students holding a full-time job or running a household through the day.
Session timings for each batch are confirmed when that batch is announced. Subjects and the order in which they are covered may vary according to the training schedule, teacher availability and course requirements.
This is a day programme, not a residential one. You attend a two-hour class six days a week and go home afterwards, which is exactly why the 200 hours are spread across four months rather than compressed into a single month away.
Most people who want to teach yoga already have a job, a family, or both, and cannot disappear to an ashram for four weeks. Spreading the same 200 hours over four months lets you absorb the material between sessions instead of racing through it, and lets you practise what you learned before the next session comes around.
The curriculum, the contact hours and the certification are identical to an intensive course. What changes is the pace, not the depth. Part-time and day formats are recognised by Yoga Alliance in the same way as intensive ones.
What this means practically:
If you are travelling in from outside Dehradun and would prefer to stay nearby, we do have guest rooms at the retreat. That is booked separately from the course and is not part of the training fee.
Different students need different levels of commitment. Not everyone searching for yoga in Dehradun is ready to begin a 200-hour certification programme immediately. Our yoga offerings form a progressive journey, from regular practice to deeper education.
Students who want to develop a consistent practice without immediately enrolling in teacher training can explore daily yoga classes in Dehradun. These sessions help improve routine, posture awareness, breathing and familiarity with foundational yoga techniques.
Foundation yoga courses in Dehradun suit learners who want a structured introduction before committing to advanced or professional training, covering basic asanas, breathing practices, meditation and yogic discipline.
For local students who want structured learning without residential accommodation, day boarding yoga classes in Dehradun provide a practical alternative. Participants attend scheduled sessions while continuing to live at home.
Yoga can also form part of a wider wellness routine involving mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, rest and conscious lifestyle practices. Our approach to yoga wellness in Dehradun supports students looking for consistency and balance without necessarily pursuing a teaching qualification.
Students seeking a shorter immersive break can explore a yoga retreat in Dehradun focused on yoga practice, meditation, rest and time away from demanding routines.
Dehradun occupies a unique position between everyday city accessibility and the Himalayan yoga landscape of Uttarakhand. Its greenery, surrounding hills and comparatively relaxed atmosphere make it an appealing location for students who want to dedicate time to practice without feeling completely disconnected from essential facilities.
For someone considering Yoga Teacher Training in Dehradun, the location offers an opportunity to experience yoga education close to the Himalayan foothills while remaining easily connected to major transport routes. Dehradun is also within reach of Rishikesh and several Himalayan destinations associated with India's yoga and spiritual traditions.
Choosing a yoga school in Dehradun can therefore suit students who want:
A structured yoga course in Dehradun gives students the opportunity to temporarily shift their attention from everyday routines toward disciplined practice, study and self-observation.
Shivoham Retreat is a Yoga Alliance Registered School (RYS 200). Students who successfully complete the required curriculum, attendance, assessments and practical components of the course receive the 200-hour certificate and are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200). Certification represents successful completion of the training requirements rather than simply attendance.
Before enrolment, students are welcome to confirm:
The quality of a yoga teacher training depends greatly on the person guiding it. At Shivoham Retreat you are taught by one teacher throughout, not rotated between visiting faculty.
Tripti leads the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Shivoham Retreat. She teaches every cohort personally, from the morning asana practice through philosophy, alignment and the supervised teaching practicum, so she knows how each student practises by the time the practicum begins.
With batches of only 7-8 students and a single teacher across all four months, corrections build on each other. Nothing is repeated from scratch because a new instructor has taken over, and your teaching practicum is observed by someone who has watched your practice develop from the first session.
Course fee, upcoming batch dates and session timings are shared on enquiry. Tell us which batch suits you and we will send you the details.

A 200-hour yoga teacher training is a structured programme that introduces students to yoga beyond regular asana classes. The curriculum generally combines physical practice with pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, teaching methodology and practical teaching experience. At Shivoham Retreat, the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Dehradun is designed to help students strengthen their own practice while beginning to understand how yoga can be communicated and taught responsibly.
The course is suitable for aspiring yoga teachers, regular practitioners, wellness professionals and committed beginners who want to study yoga more deeply. You do not necessarily need to be highly flexible or already able to perform advanced postures. More important is a willingness to practise consistently and engage seriously with the course. Please contact us to confirm the current eligibility requirements before registering.
Beginners may join a 200-hour teacher training provided they meet the course's admission criteria and are prepared for regular practice and study. Teacher training is not a competition in flexibility. It is an educational process that develops understanding gradually. Students completely new to yoga may also consider foundation yoga courses in Dehradun or regular classes before enrolling, if they would prefer to build confidence first.
Classes run six days a week, Monday to Saturday, and each session lasts two hours. Students attend one session a day, not two: you choose either the morning batch or the evening batch at enrolment and stay with that batch through the course. There are no afternoon sessions, so the rest of your day stays free for work, study or family. Exact clock timings for each batch are confirmed when that batch is announced.
At Shivoham Retreat the 200 hours are spread across four months as a day course, with classes six days a week, Monday to Saturday, in a single two-hour session. Some schools deliver the same hours intensively over three to four weeks; we run it part-time instead, so students can train without taking a month off work. The exact starting date, completion date and session-day timetable are published for each batch.
The curriculum combines practice and theory. Students study Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga-based practice, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, alignment, teaching methodology, class sequencing, mantra, mudras, bandhas and practical teaching. The aim is to help you understand not only how to perform yoga practices, but also why they are taught and how to communicate them responsibly to others.
No. This is a day course, so accommodation is not included in the training fee and is not required. You attend the scheduled session days and go home afterwards. If you are travelling in from outside Dehradun and would prefer to stay nearby, we do have guest rooms at the retreat, but those are booked separately from the course.
Meals are not included in the course fee, as this is a day programme rather than a residential one. Refreshments such as herbal tea are provided during session days. If you would like meals arranged on session days, or have specific dietary requirements, please mention it when you enquire and our team will tell you what can be organised.
Shivoham Retreat is a Yoga Alliance Registered School (RYS 200). Students who meet the required attendance, coursework, practical teaching and assessment conditions receive the 200-hour certificate and are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200). Part-time and day formats are recognised in the same way as intensive courses.
International students can enquire about joining the training, subject to our admission process, availability and applicable travel or visa requirements. Dehradun provides access to Uttarakhand's Himalayan region while remaining connected by road, rail and air. International applicants should contact the admissions team in advance to understand course dates, accommodation, payment requirements and any documents they should prepare before travelling to India.
Students generally benefit from bringing comfortable yoga clothing, personal toiletries, notebooks, writing materials and any personal items required for an extended stay. A yoga mat may be required depending on what the school provides. Weather-appropriate clothing is also important in Dehradun, because conditions vary by season. We provide a final packing list to enrolled students before the batch begins.
A 200-hour course provides foundational teaching education and helps students begin developing the knowledge and confidence required to guide yoga classes. Professional requirements can vary depending on the country, employer, studio or organisation where you plan to teach. Completing the course should therefore be viewed as an important educational foundation rather than the end of your development as a yoga teacher.
Dehradun combines accessibility with the natural atmosphere of Uttarakhand's Himalayan foothills. Students can study in a greener and comparatively relaxed environment while remaining close to Rishikesh and other Himalayan destinations. For learners who want yoga education without being entirely removed from urban facilities, a Yoga Teacher Training in Dehradun provides a useful balance between focused study, nature and practical connectivity.
You do not need to begin this course already knowing how to teach. You begin with a willingness to learn.
Over 200 structured hours, your relationship with yoga can gradually move from simply following instructions to understanding movement, breath, philosophy, sequencing and the responsibility involved in guiding another person.
At Shivoham Retreat, the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Dehradun is designed to give aspiring teachers and dedicated practitioners the space to study, practise and grow with greater awareness.
Come for the training. Leave with a deeper understanding of your practice, and the foundation to share it.
