The Space to Go Deep
300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India
You've completed your 200-hour training and tasted what it means to teach. Now it's time to go deeper.
A 300-hour yoga teacher training is the advanced course that builds on your 200-hour foundation — subtler techniques, deeper philosophy and more refined teaching skills. Completing it at a Yoga Alliance-registered school (RYS 300) like Pure Soul makes you eligible to upgrade your Yoga Alliance registration to RYT 500, the highest standard teaching credential.
Your training unfolds in the spiritual heart of Rishikesh, where the Ganga flows out of the Himalayas. As with everything we teach, the focus stays on the why behind each practice — so the advanced asana, pranayama and philosophy you learn become part of your own understanding, not just your notes. In a group of maximum 20 students, your teachers know your practice personally and help you develop your authentic teaching voice.
The course moves beyond a single style — advanced Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini and Restorative practice, the bandhas, advanced pranayama and yogic philosophy. It concludes with a structured assessment: written work, a practical asana test and a supervised teaching demonstration. On passing, you receive your 300-hour certificate — and with your existing 200-hour certification, you can register as an RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance.

FAQs
Advanced 300 Hour YTTC Rishikesh, India
How much does the 300 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh cost?
The course fee is $1,280 (shared room) or $1,480 (private room) for international students, and ₹60,000 (shared) or ₹78,000 (private) for Indian students — including 27 days of accommodation, daily vegetarian/vegan meals, course materials and certification. You reserve your seat with a 20% deposit.
Can I join the 300 hour course without a 200 hour certification?
No — a completed 200-hour yoga teacher training from a Yoga Alliance-registered school is compulsory, as the 300-hour builds directly on that foundation. If you're not yet certified, start with our 200-hour training.
My 200-hour was completed online — can I still join?
In most cases yes, as long as it was with a Yoga Alliance-registered school. Send us a copy of your certificate and we'll confirm your eligibility before you book.
Will I become an RYT 500 after this course?
Yes — after completing our 300-hour training, RYT-200 holders become eligible to upgrade their Yoga Alliance registration to RYT 500. We guide you through the registration process after graduation.
