The Space to Go Deep
Tai Chi Qigong Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India
Tai Chi Qigong Yoga is an ancient practice that unites the internal arts of China with the yogic wisdom of India — and this integration is something you will find at almost no other school in Rishikesh.
These slow, meditative movement practices have been used for centuries to promote physical, mental and spiritual well-being — reducing stress and anxiety while building balance, coordination and quiet internal strength.
Our Tai Chi Qigong Yoga Teacher Training is a full 24-day residential immersion: Silk Reeling, Five-Element Qigong, standing practice, Tai Chi forms from various styles, meridian theory and the teaching methodology to share it all confidently. Because Pure Soul is a Yoga Alliance-registered school and our lead faculty holds the YACEP designation, your training hours also count toward Yoga Alliance Continuing Education if you already hold an RYT.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, join Pure Soul Yoga School to gain a deep understanding of this ancient practice and become a confident, certified Tai Chi Qigong instructor.
