  1. Teacher holding a supported headstand in a bright studio
    Phase 01

    Advance your asana

    Go deeper with advanced Hatha postures and the Ashtanga Vinyasa Intermediate Series. Alignment and adjustment, the use of props and injury management help you practise and teach advanced poses with care. Batches are limited to 12 students.

    • 22 days / 21 nights
  2. Alternate nostril breathing at sunrise beside the Ganga in Rishikesh
    Phase 02

    Deepen breath and philosophy

How the 300-Hour Differs from the 200-Hour

If you already hold an RYT-200, you know the foundations. The 300-hour course is not "more of the same" — it shifts the focus from learning to practise and teach toward refining, specialising, and taking responsibility for advanced and therapeutic students. Here is how the two levels compare.

Advanced Asana & Adjustments

Where the 200-hour builds a safe foundation of primary postures, the 300-hour introduces arm balances, deep backbends, and advanced inversions — plus hands-on adjustment methodology so you can guide other practitioners safely, not just perform the poses yourself.

Teaching Methodology & Mentorship

The 200-hour gets you in front of a class. The 300-hour sharpens you into a mentor: supervised practicum, structured peer feedback, sequencing for advanced groups, and curriculum-design workshops for building your own multi-week series, retreats, and workshops.

Philosophy in Depth

The 200-hour introduces the Eight Limbs and key concepts. The 300-hour undertakes a full sequential study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras with Samkhya cosmology and selected Bhagavad Gita verses — so you can teach yoga authentically, not just physically.

Yoga Therapy & Applied Anatomy

This is the biggest leap. The 300-hour adds therapeutic applications for common conditions (lower-back pain, knee and shoulder issues), nervous-system regulation, dosha-informed practice design, and deeper subtle-body anatomy — equipping you to work responsibly with students managing injury or chronic conditions.

Eligibility: Who Can Join the 300-Hour Course?

The 300-hour curriculum builds directly on a completed 200-hour training, so a Yoga Alliance RYT-200 (or an equivalent 200-hour certificate from a recognised school) is required to enrol. Beyond the paperwork, the ideal candidate has been practising and ideally teaching regularly, is comfortable with the physical and mental demands of a 22-day residential immersion, and is ready to receive honest feedback. If you completed your 200-hour with us or elsewhere, you are eligible — your 300-hour certificate combines with your 200-hour record to register you as an RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance.

Who Should Take a 300-Hour Advanced Training?

This is advanced-level work. Knowing whether you are ready makes the experience more rewarding for everyone in the room.

You are a strong fit if you…

  • Hold a Yoga Alliance RYT-200 (or equivalent 200-hour) certification and have been teaching or practising regularly
  • Want to teach advanced postures, multi-level workshops, or yoga therapy with greater confidence and safety
  • Feel called to study Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Samkhya philosophy, and subtle-body anatomy at a deeper level
  • Are working toward the Yoga Alliance RYT-500 credential to open doors in studios, retreat centres, and corporate wellness
  • Seek structured mentorship and supervised teaching practice — not just more solo practice time
  • Are comfortable with the physical and mental demands of a 22-day immersive residential programme

What to keep in mind

  • A 200-hour foundation is required — the 300-hour curriculum builds directly on asana, pranayama, and philosophy you already know
  • Advanced training amplifies both strengths and blindspots; come ready to receive honest feedback from teachers and peers
  • The practicum component requires you to teach real students, which can feel vulnerable — that discomfort is where the growth lives
  • Residential immersion means reduced screen time, structured meals, early rising, and communal living — all part of the practice
  • The RYT-500 credential is not awarded at the end of the 300-hour course alone; you register it with Yoga Alliance using your 200-hour and 300-hour certificates, once you have also taught 100 hours

What RYT-500 means in practice

Teach internationally recognised classes

Many studios worldwide, cruise lines, resort wellness centres, and corporate clients require an RYT-500 for lead teachers and programme directors.

Train future teachers

Only E-RYT 500 teachers (experienced RYT-500s with the required teaching hours) can lead Yoga Alliance-registered teacher training programmes.

Expand your therapeutic scope

The 300-hour curriculum deepens anatomy and yoga therapy knowledge, giving you tools to work responsibly with students managing injury or chronic conditions.

Differentiate in a crowded market

The number of RYT-200 teachers has grown rapidly. An RYT-500 signals sustained commitment, deeper knowledge, and professional seriousness to potential students and employers.

Advanced Curriculum Breakdown

An overview of what distinguishes 300-hour study from the 200-hour foundation — and why each pillar matters for your teaching.

Advanced Asana & Precise Adjustments

  • Intermediate and advanced postures not typically covered in the 200-hour syllabus, including arm balances, deep backbends, and advanced inversions
  • Hands-on adjustment methodology — understanding when to touch, when to cue verbally, and how anatomy varies between students
  • Sequencing logic for advanced practitioners: how to prepare the body progressively without shortcutting safety
  • Modifications and contraindications for students with injuries, allowing you to teach truly inclusive advanced classes

Advanced Pranayama & Energy Practices

  • Extended practice with Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari, Surya Bhedana, Chandra Bhedana, and Sheetali in therapeutic contexts
  • Kumbhaka (breath retention) training — internal and external — with appropriate foundations and contra-indications
  • Bandha (energy lock) application integrated with pranayama and advanced asana practice
  • Teaching pranayama to groups with mixed experience levels safely and systematically

Yoga Philosophy — Patanjali's Yoga Sutras

  • A full sequential study of the four chapters of the Yoga Sutras with Sanskrit terminology explained
  • Samkhya cosmology as the philosophical backbone of Classical Yoga — how it informs the eight-limb path
  • Practical application: translating abstract philosophy into language and guidance your students can actually use
  • Bhagavad Gita selected verses on karma yoga, jnana yoga, and bhakti as complementary frameworks

Yoga Therapy & Applied Anatomy

  • Therapeutic applications of yoga for common musculoskeletal conditions: lower back pain, knee issues, shoulder impingement
  • Nervous system regulation — understanding the parasympathetic and sympathetic roles of different practices
  • Introduction to Ayurvedic principles and how dosha theory informs practice design for different body-mind types
  • Subtle body anatomy: deeper study of the chakra system, nadis, and prana vayus beyond introductory level

Teaching Practicum & Mentorship

Knowing yoga and knowing how to teach yoga are two very different skills. The practicum closes that gap.

Observed Teaching Rounds

Students take turns leading portions of class while peers and a senior teacher observe. Feedback is structured, specific, and constructive — focused on cueing clarity, class pacing, and the quality of presence you bring to the front of the room.

Small-Group Mentorship

Beyond the group practicum, smaller mentorship sessions give you direct one-on-one and small-group time with lead instructors to work through specific challenges in your teaching: voice, sequencing logic, managing difficult situations in class, and building a coherent teaching style.

Curriculum Design Workshop

Advanced teachers need to design as well as deliver. Workshop sessions cover how to build a 6-week series, a retreat arc, or a corporate wellness programme — translating your knowledge into formats students can follow and schools will hire you to teach.

What practical competencies you leave with

Confidently lead 60–90 minute advanced asana classes with precise verbal and tactile cuing
Design progressive sequences tailored to specific student needs, injuries, or therapeutic goals
Teach pranayama and meditation to students at intermediate and advanced levels
Deliver a coherent 45-minute talk or workshop on a chosen philosophy topic
Give and receive peer feedback in a professional, supportive framework
Handle common classroom situations: a student injury mid-class, conflicting levels in one group, or questions beyond your expertise

I had a truly enriching time at Swaastik Yog School. All the teachers were wonderful, each bringing their own passionate approach to yoga and being genuinely eager to share their knowledge and experience with the students. The programme offers a great variety of classes, including Hatha, Ashtanga, alignment, mantra, pranayama and yoga philosophy. It was particularly nice to experience different styles and approaches, deepen my understanding of yoga and even get the chance to try aerial yoga! The school has a very personal atmosphere and feels more like a little family than just a yoga school. It starts with the authentic, home-cooked food, which is healthy, nourishing and easy on the body, giving you the energy to get the most out of your classes. And then there are the sweet dogs, who seem to take their role as protectors very seriously, keeping an eye on everyone and occasionally chasing away the cute little monkeys that like to pay unexpected visits! Beyond the yoga classes, we had some wonderful experiences together, including a wedding celebration, yoga by the Ganges, meditation in a cave and a visit to Ganga Aarti. The location is also ideal, situated between Upper and Lower Tapovan in Rishikesh, making everything within easy reach. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the area while still having a peaceful place to return to. The garden is lovely, and being able to watch the sunrise over the mountains from the rooftop every morning is something special. I am very grateful for the time I spent here. It is a place with a lot of heart and wonderful people.

I completed my Sound Healing and Aerial Yoga training here, and I am truly grateful for the knowledge, guidance, and support I received throughout the course. The entire environment of the school was peaceful, safe, clean, and perfect for learning and self-growth. The food was fresh, healthy, delicious, and prepared with great care, which made my stay even more comfortable. The classes were well-structured, engaging, and highly informative. A special thanks to Mayuri Ma'am for her excellent teaching, patience, and constant encouragement. She explained every concept clearly and made learning both enjoyable and meaningful. I would also like to sincerely thank Ranjana, the Yoga Instructor, for her professional guidance, positive attitude, and supportive nature. She made every practice enjoyable while ensuring that everyone learned with confidence and proper technique. The entire staff was incredibly cooperative, kind, and always ready to help. Their hospitality and dedication made me feel welcomed from the very first day. I highly recommend Swastik Yoga School to anyone looking for authentic training in Yoga, Aerial Yoga, or Sound Healing. It is an excellent place to learn, grow, and experience a positive and nurturing environment. Thank you to the entire team for making this journey so memorable. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

I attended an aerial yoga workshop and a healing session. Both were amazing. I enjoyed, learned, and healed. The place was comfortable, and the trainer, Mayuri, was very supportive. Everything was so good — it was an amazing experience I can't forget. All thanks to Mayuri, who created a space where everyone could feel comfortable and perform their best. Worth it❤️

Doing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Swaatik Yoga School in Rishikesh was honestly one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The environment is incredibly peaceful and welcoming, which made it so easy to disconnect from everything outside and fully immerse myself in the practice. From the very beginning, I felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. The classes are intense, but in a very balanced and thoughtful way. You can really feel that the teachers are invested in your personal journey, not just in delivering the content. And Mayur… she’s truly amazing. Such a strong and inspiring woman, yet so warm and present at the same time. Her classes were some of the most impactful moments of the entire experience for me. One of the things that made this training even more special was being in an all-women group. It created such a deep sense of connection and a safe, supportive space that I had never experienced before. It really wasn’t just a course, it felt like a deep inner journey. If you’re considering doing your training, I genuinely recommend this place from my heart

I had a heavy past few years and 2025 was really draining, hence had come to Rishikesh with no expectations, one thing I knew was would do some Yoga and Relax. After couple of days strolling in Rishikesh, decided to look for a yoga class. Did a google search and after few calls at other centers which went unanswered, I called Swaastik Yoga institute, the call was answered promptly and Mayuri Mam answered few questions and I headed to the institute, liked the vibe of the place and Ranjana Mam assisted me with registration initially I enrolled for Hatha and Pranayam yoga, after couple of days experience I got myself enrolled for Aerial Yoga. It was the best decision of my life and I thank destiny for brining me to Swaastik Yog school, Mayuri mam is extremely talent and very professional she knows her stuff and was very supportive from the very beginning, Ranjana mam was great with Pranayam and Hatha sessions and Mayuri mam taught us well Aerial was something challenging for me but her guidance helped me overcome the fear and now I am a certified Aeria Yoga trainer. I also did a sound healing session and it was a great experience as well the results were spot on and now I know which chakra I should be working on(Thank you very much Mayuri Mam) Very professional team and the support has been fabulous, this is going to be my go to place for any future Yoga activities and highly recommend Swaastik Yog School.

Ho frequentato in India a Rishikesh il mio corso di formazione insegnanti di yoga di 200 ore, un’esperienza intensa che mi ha arricchita non soltanto dal punto di vista della pratica, ma anche sul piano personale e interiore. Desidero ringraziare in particolare i miei maestri Maiuri e Raul, che ho apprezzato per la loro preparazione, la passione e la disponibilità nel trasmettere le loro conoscenze. Le loro lezioni mi hanno permesso di approfondire diversi aspetti dello yoga, della respirazione, dell’allineamento delle posture e della filosofia yogica. Questo percorso mi ha dato l’opportunità di mettermi alla prova, superare alcune difficoltà e scoprire nuove risorse personali. Tornare a casa con il diploma di insegnante di yoga di 200 ore rappresenta per me un traguardo importante, ma soprattutto l’inizio di un nuovo cammino. Porterò con me gli insegnamenti ricevuti, le esperienze vissute in India e le persone che hanno contribuito a rendere questo viaggio significativo.❤️❤️ Grazie maestri Maiuri e Raul per il contributo che avete dato alla mia formazione e alla mia crescita personale.❤️❤️❤️

My name is Ruby, and I’m from France. 🇫🇷 I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Swaastik Yog School in Rishikesh, and it was such a beautiful and transformative experience. The classes were well-structured, informative, and inspiring. I learned so much about yoga, asanas, pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy. The teachers were knowledgeable, supportive, and always ready to help us improve. Every day brought something new, and I feel more confident in my yoga practice and understanding. One thing I especially admire is that Swaastik Yog School is a women-owned school. It was inspiring to see a woman lead and create such a welcoming space for students from all over the world. The atmosphere felt warm, peaceful, and friendly, and I truly felt like I was part of a family. I’m grateful for all the beautiful memories, the amazing people I met, and the knowledge I gained here. If you’re looking for an authentic yoga experience in Rishikesh, I highly recommend Swaastik Yog School. ❤️ Thank you for everything! 🙏

I did my 200 YTTC and i loved it! The teachers are very experienced, Mayuri and Rahul are amazing and pass on the knowledge very well. The classes are demanding and you learn so much and understand more about phylosophy, alignment, yog itself and everything there is. I have a lower back injury and had many knees injuries as Well and was afraid it could be a problem but i was guided in the way that my body feels more functional and stronger then ever. The atmosphere in the school is also great and I’m extremely happy and grateful for the people i have met. 100%%%% recommend You come here once and you will keep coming back, trust me 😝

I recently completed my training at Swastik Yoga School in Rishikesh and had a really positive experience. As a beginner, I learned Hatha, Ashtanga, and even Aerial yoga in a very supportive environment. My teachers, Mayuri and Rahul, were knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated. I’ve already started seeing positive changes in my body, flexibility, and overall strength. The school is also great for a multicultural experience, with students coming from all around the world, which made learning even more enriching. Grateful for the journey and highly recommend it to anyone starting or deepening their yoga practice.

I'm so grateful 🙏🏼 to have had two teachers like MayureeJi and RahulJi. They are two serious professionals who accompanied me for two whole months on an incredible journey of learning yoga!!!🤸‍♀️ I feel more connected and aware. I feel free to be myself, and I owe this to yoga and to them both, following their example. I admired their teaching method, their extraordinary self-confidence and as they took care of each of us. 💫 And my classmates (little monkeys🐒) , the trips out together, the dinners together, the mantra chants, the parties and dancing in the evenings on the terrace. 🍀 It was a 360° journey that will remain in my heart forever! I love you all 💚💚💚

I had a beautiful experience doing my 200hs TTC course with Mayouri. Because the group was small, she was able to give personal attention to each student, correcting our postures, alignment, and technique in a very detailed way. She is demanding in the best sense — she truly wants you to grow, learn properly, and become confident in your practice and teaching. The practices were well structured, deep, and meaningful. I felt supported and challenged at the same time, which helped me improve a lot. We also had the opportunity to try some acro-yoga, kundalini yoga and aereal. That was super fun too! The place was also amazing. The yoga shala with the sun shining in middle of winter was delicious. Also the terrace where we practiced too was beautiful, peaceful and perfect for yoga. It was a lovely space to share meals together, connect and relax too. Location in middle of Tapovan close to everything too which is really practical. What I appreciated the most was the atmosphere. It felt like a small family. There was warmth, respect and genuine care between everyone. I’m very grateful for this experience and I highly recommend Mayouri’s TTC to anyone who wants serious training in a supportive and loving environment.
