100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

The 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh at Maunvan is a 12-day, fully residential yoga teacher training program — the first half of the full 200 Hour TTC, structured specifically for students who cannot do 25 consecutive days at once. Fee from $650 per person, all-inclusive (accommodation, meals, teaching, materials). Monthly batches. Maximum 12 students.

A lot of people want to do a proper Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh — but 25 consecutive days away from work, family, or life simply is not possible for everyone. We heard that again and again. So we built a solution that does not compromise on quality: we split the full 200 Hour TTC into two equal halves, and made each half a complete, standalone residential program. That is what the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Maunvan is. Yoga Alliance — the global yoga teacher certification body with over 100,000 registered teachers worldwide — requires a minimum of 200 training hours for the RYT-200 credential. This program is your first 100 of those hours.

The 100 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh is 12 days, residential, at our ashram in the Himalayan foothills above Rishikesh — the same setting, the same teachers, the same daily structure as our full 200 Hour program. You complete Part 1 now. You come back for Part 2 when you are ready. Together, the two 100-hour blocks equal the complete 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and qualify you for Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certification. Groups are capped at 12 students maximum throughout.

Quick answer: The 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh at Maunvan is a 12-day residential program — Part 1 of the full 200 Hour TTC, split into two 100-hour blocks for people who cannot do 25 days at once. It covers Hatha yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Anatomy, and Yoga Philosophy. Fee from $650 (sharing) or $750 (single), all-inclusive. You receive a Maunvan school certificate, and your 100 hours are fully credited toward the complete 200 Hour RYT-200 certification when you return for Part 2.

What is the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Maunvan?

The most common reason people do not complete a 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India — or any TTC — is not lack of interest. It is time. Twenty-five consecutive days is a serious commitment. Jobs, children, businesses, health — life does not always clear a full month on demand. We built this program specifically for that reality.

Maunvan's 100 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh is Part 1 of the full 200 Hour program — not a separate, lesser qualification. The curriculum is identical to the first half of our 200 Hour TTC. The teachers are the same resident teachers. The ashram, the daily schedule, the sattvic environment — all the same. When you return for Part 2, you continue exactly where Part 1 ended. Complete both parts and you receive the full 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate, with eligibility to register as an RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance — the global standard recognised by studios and schools in over 100 countries. Yoga Alliance RYT-200 is the most widely recognised entry-level yoga teaching credential worldwide.

There is no time limit between Part 1 and Part 2. Some students return the following month. Others take six months, or a year. The pace is entirely yours. What matters is that a genuine, internationally recognised Yoga Teacher Training is now accessible to people who cannot take 25 days at once — because they can take 12 days twice instead. You can explore our ashram setting in the photo gallery, or read more about Maunvan's lineage and resident teachers on the About page.

If you are looking for a 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh that is honest about what it is — not a watered-down certificate, but the first half of a real 200 Hour program in a real Himalayan ashram — this is it. The same quality, the same teachers, the same outcome. Just taken at a pace that actually works for your life. If deep silence is what draws you, we also run a Vipassana Meditation programme at Maunvan for those who want to combine their teacher training stay with a meditation retreat.

When Are the 100 Hour TTC Dates and What Is the Fee?

New batches begin monthly throughout the year. Each course runs for 12 consecutive days. Maximum 12 students per batch. October through March batches fill fastest — book early to secure your place.

What Do You Study in the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training?

The 100 Hour TTC curriculum at Maunvan covers the core pillars of classical yoga teaching across 8 subjects. Across 12 days you accumulate 100 contact hours — the same subjects, the same depth, and the same resident teachers as the first half of our full 200 Hour TTC.

Classical standing, seated, and supine postures from the Hatha tradition — alignment, breath integration, modifications, and safe hands-on adjustments.
🌬

Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Bhastrika, Ujjayi, Bhramari — systematic breathing practices, their energetic effects, and safe sequencing principles.

Total contact hours: 100 hours — covering asana practice, pranayama, meditation, academic study, and supervised teaching sessions.

What Is a Typical Day Like in the 100 Hour TTC?

The 100 Hour TTC follows the same disciplined daily rhythm as our longer programs — approximately 8–9 hours of scheduled activity across practice, academic study, and teaching methodology. This structure is not incidental — it is the training. Living inside this schedule for 12 days builds the habits and the understanding that no weekend workshop can replicate.

Where Do You Stay During the 100 Hour TTC in Rishikesh?

You live at Maunvan ashram for the entire 12 days. The ashram sits on a forested ridge above the Ganga valley — genuinely away from the noise and traffic of central Rishikesh town. Your room is your home for the 12 days: simple, clean, well maintained, and built for sleep, study, and recovery rather than entertainment.

🛏
Private Single Room
Your own room for the duration of the training — the recommended choice for anyone who needs quiet space for self-study and rest between intensive sessions. Simply furnished with a comfortable bed, study area, storage, and either attached or shared bathroom.
🛌
Shared Room
Shared with one other course participant of the same gender. The more affordable option — same quality of space and the same access to all facilities. Many students find sharing with a fellow trainee deepens the community experience of the course.
🌿
Ashram Grounds
Forest paths, a meditation garden, and quiet sitting areas surround the rooms. Between sessions you can walk, journal, or simply sit in silence. The natural environment is part of the training — it is impossible to feel the full depth of what yoga is in an urban setting.
🚿
Clean Facilities
Hot water, clean shared or attached bathrooms, and regular housekeeping throughout your stay. The simplicity is intentional — a teacher training is not a luxury hotel experience, and everything about the living situation supports focus rather than distraction.

All accommodation is included in the course fee. Arrive at the ashram the evening before your batch start date — your room will be ready and you will meet the teachers and fellow students over dinner before the training begins the following morning.

Upgrade to the Full 200 Hour RYT-200 Certification

The 100 Hour TTC at Maunvan is designed as a natural first step towards the full 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training — the internationally recognised entry-level qualification for professional yoga teachers. The 100 hours you complete here are fully credited when you join the 200 Hour TTC program, meaning you only complete the remaining 100 hours to receive the full certificate and qualify for Yoga Alliance RYT-200 registration.

This staged approach gives you flexibility: you can complete the 100 hours now, return to your home life, continue your practice, and join a subsequent 200 Hour batch when you are ready. Many students find this pathway helps them arrive at the second stage with more maturity and clarity about why they want to teach.

Your Lead Teacher

Dr. Yogi Vijay Rayal

M.Sc Yoga · Ayurvedacharya · 15+ Years Residential Teaching

Dr. Vijay Rayal has lived and taught at Maunvan ashram for over fifteen years. He holds a Master's degree in Yoga from a recognised Indian university and is trained in classical Hatha yoga, Pranayama, and Ayurvedic medicine. He is the primary teacher across all TTC programs — from the 100 Hour through the 500 Hour — and is resident on-site throughout every batch.

His teaching approach combines traditional lineage practice with a practical understanding of how people in the modern world encounter yoga for the first time.
