Summary
This seven day programme blends the stillness of Yin Yoga with the movement of Yang practice beside the Ganges in Rishikesh. Across the week you learn meridian theory, hands on sequencing and long held postures that release tension in the fascia and joints, alongside daily pranayama, meditation and an aerial restorative session, closing with a certificate you can teach with anywhere.

Experience the Retreat
Yin Yoga asks you to slow down and stay. Postures are held for several minutes at a time, working the connective tissue, ligaments and joints rather than the muscles, while Yang practice in the mornings keeps the body warm and strong. Together they form a complete system rooted in Taoist philosophy, where stillness and movement are two halves of one whole.
Across seven days, mornings open with active Yang asana followed by breakfast, then move into Yin postures, sequencing practice and guided assignments before lunch. Afternoons bring an aerial restorative class using silk hammocks, useful for spinal decompression and hip opening.
Evenings are given to meridian theory, breathwork, meditation and yoga nidra. Meals are vegetarian, served three times daily along with tea, and accommodation is arranged in dormitory, twin sharing or private rooms a short walk from the practice space.
The training suits teachers who want to add a Yin specialty to an existing certification, and equally dedicated students who have never taught but want a deeper personal practice. Full attendance across all classes is required for certification, and the pace, gentle in style, still asks for consistent daily commitment.
By the final day you will be able to sequence a full length Yin class, explain meridian pathways to students and hold space for longer, quieter postures with confidence. The certificate issued on completion documents 50 hours of training and can be used to register further hours with Yoga Alliance if you already hold an RYT credential.
Why This Retreat Stands Out
What sets this training apart is the aerial restorative class added to a traditional Yin syllabus, a combination rarely offered in short format teacher training in India. A complimentary sound bath with Tibetan bowls and gongs, plus a lifestyle Ayurveda session, are included at no extra cost.
Class sizes stay small, so every student gets direct correction and personal feedback from senior teachers. Meridian theory is taught alongside practical anatomy, which means graduates leave with a working understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine as it applies to yoga, rather than a list of poses to repeat in class.

Program
Arrival day: check-in runs between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, followed by registration and orientation. The first class begins the same evening, so plan to arrive with enough time to settle in before dinner.
Each following day keeps a set rhythm. Morning Yang practice, breakfast, then Yin asana and sequencing work before lunch. Afternoons bring the aerial restorative session, and evenings cover meridian theory, breathwork and meditation before dinner.
All sessions are mandatory, since full attendance is required for certification. The final class and the certificate ceremony take place on the morning of departure, with checkout by 11:00 AM.

Food Details
All meals are vegetarian, served three times a day along with tea, and prepared to support the practice rather than weigh you down. Outside food, meat and eggs are not permitted on the premises, though students can eat out for lunch or dinner once a week on the designated rest day.
Gluten-free and vegan meals are available on request, so most dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice, and an extra meal beyond the regular schedule can be arranged for a small charge. The focus throughout stays on simple, wholesome food that fits a daily yoga routine.

Ishavasyam Yoga School
A residential yoga school in Rishikesh, a short walk from the practice space to the riverbank, with dormitory, twin sharing and private accommodation on site. Meals are vegetarian and served three times a day with tea, and outside food, meat and eggs are not permitted on the premises.
Teaching at Ishavasyam Yoga School is built around small groups, so students get direct correction rather than instruction from the back of a hall. Courses close with a written and practical exam, certification is issued on passing, and airport pickup and drop-off come with the twin sharing and private room categories.

INDIA
Rishikesh sits where the Himalayas meet the Ganga, and that meeting shows up in everything around you. Mornings open with temple bells and birdsong along the riverbank, evenings bring the soft glow of the Ganga Aarti with hundreds of lamps set afloat, and the pace of life slows almost the moment you arrive.
Stillness and activity sit close together here. Ashrams and cafes share the same lanes, meditation halls are a short walk from whitewater rapids, and free time fills easily with the Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula bridges, the evening aarti at Triveni Ghat, the Beatles Ashram, Neelkanth Mahadev Temple and the bookshops and rooftop cafes of Tapovan.

Travel Information
flight
The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport (DED), Dehradun, India, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Rishikesh by road. It receives regular domestic flights from Delhi and a few other major Indian cities.
International travellers often find it more practical to fly into Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), New Delhi, India, then take a connecting domestic flight to Dehradun or arrange a taxi directly from Delhi, which takes around 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic.
From Dehradun a short taxi ride brings you in. Pickup can be arranged in advance for twin sharing and private accommodation guests, so share your flight details when you book.
train
Haridwar Junction is the closest major railway station, well connected to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other large cities, with both day and overnight trains available. Rishikesh also has its own smaller station with more limited connections, mainly to Delhi and nearby towns.
From Haridwar it is about a 30 to 45 minute taxi or auto-rickshaw ride to Rishikesh, on a straightforward road with clear signage. Booking train tickets in advance is recommended, especially in the peak months, since the popular routes fill up quickly.
bus
Regular bus services connect Delhi to Rishikesh, run by both government and private operators, typically departing from Kashmere Gate ISBT. The trip takes around 6 to 7 hours depending on traffic and road conditions, and overnight buses are available for travellers who prefer to arrive in the morning.
From the Rishikesh bus stand, local taxis and auto-rickshaws are readily available to reach your accommodation. This is often the most budget-friendly option from Delhi or the nearby towns of Uttarakhand.
taxi
Taxis are available directly from both Delhi and Dehradun airports and are one of the simplest ways to arrive, especially after a long flight. A taxi from Jolly Grant Airport (DED) takes around 45 minutes to an hour, while a taxi from Delhi takes roughly 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic.
Prepaid taxi counters are available at both airports, which helps avoid any confusion over fares. Twin sharing and private accommodation guests can have pickup arranged directly, so all that is needed is to share flight details in advance.
car
Driving from Delhi to Rishikesh takes roughly 5 to 6 hours and covers about 240 kilometres, mostly along NH334, a well-maintained highway with clear signage. The route passes through Haridwar before reaching Rishikesh, with rest stops for food and restrooms along the way.
Self-drive and hired cars with a driver are both common options. Many students choose a private car for a more comfortable trip, particularly when arriving with luggage or straight after a long flight into Delhi.
FAQ's
Yes. Yin Yoga does not require flexibility or prior experience. Poses are supported with props and held passively, so beginners and experienced practitioners work at their own depth in the same class.
Many students notice reduced stiffness in the hips, lower back and shoulders after regular practice, since long holds target fascia and connective tissue rather than muscle. It is not a substitute for medical treatment, so check with a doctor if you have joint injuries or connective tissue conditions.
This format is structured as a 50 hour programme, meant to add a Yin specialty to an existing 200 hour teaching certificate rather than serve as a standalone qualification.
Aerial restorative work is generally gentle and supported by a hammock. Anyone with recent back surgery, high blood pressure, glaucoma, or who is pregnant, should inform the teacher in advance so poses can be adjusted or skipped.
Loose, comfortable clothing works best, since Yin poses are held for several minutes and tight or synthetic fabric can restrict circulation during the long holds.
Yes. There is a written and practical exam, and students need a minimum of 50 percent to pass and receive certification, with two chances to retake within three months if needed.
Yes. Students can shift their joining date to any upcoming course within 12 months of the original booking, up to twice, by informing the school by email.
A personal mat is helpful if you have one, though mats are also available to share on site for students who do not bring their own. Everything else needed for the sessions is provided.
Yes. Twin sharing rooms are arranged with students of the same gender.
Jolly Grant Airport (DED), Dehradun, is the nearest airport, about 45 minutes to an hour away by road. Delhi is the practical arrival point for most international travellers.
Further Details About the Retreat
This is a certification course rather than a retreat, so full attendance is required and the week is structured from the first evening through to the ceremony on departure morning. Students should arrive rested and plan nothing else into the seven days.
Certification at Ishavasyam Yoga School follows a written and practical exam, with a pass mark of 50 percent and two retake opportunities within three months. Anyone with a joint injury, a connective tissue condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, recent back surgery, or who is pregnant, should tell the school before booking so the aerial and Yin work can be adjusted safely.
