What Makes the Best 500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh?

An RYT-500 is the highest entry-level credential a yoga teacher can hold — so the school you choose matters even more than it does at the 200-hour level. Here is what sets our 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India apart, and what to look for in any reputable master programme.

Registered for RYS-200, RYS-300 & RYS-500

A genuine 500-hour qualification requires a school registered at both the 200 and 300 levels. Swaastik Yog School is a Yoga Alliance Registered School across RYS-200, RYS-300 and RYS-500, which means your combined training is recognised in full. Once you have also taught 100 hours, you can register as an RYT-500 — the highest entry-level standard accepted in 70+ countries.

Led by E-RYT 500 Master Trainers

Advanced training demands advanced teachers. Our 500-hour programme is led by Mayuri Shewale, an experienced E-RYT 500 who has guided more than 5,000 trainees, supported by specialist faculty in yoga therapy, anatomy, philosophy and Ayurveda — the depth a master-level curriculum genuinely requires.

One Continuous 200 + 300 Hour Journey

Rather than stitching two unrelated courses together, our 51-day immersion is sequenced as a single arc — foundation through to mastery — so concepts build on one another. You save up to $385 versus booking the 200-hour and 300-hour trainings separately, and you graduate in one trip.

Small Batches in the Yoga Capital

Master-level practice — advanced asana, adjustments, therapy — only works with close supervision. We keep batches to a maximum of 12 students in Tapovan, Rishikesh, on the banks of the Ganga, so every trainee receives hands-on feedback and supervised teaching practice throughout the 500 hours.

In short: the best 500-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh combines full RYS-200/300/500 accreditation, E-RYT 500 master trainers, a single continuous 200+300 pathway, and small supervised batches — the four standards we hold ourselves to on every course.

Why Choose Our 500 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh?

Immerse yourself in the complete yoga journey with our 500-hour multi-style yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India. This comprehensive master course combines 200-hour foundation training + 300-hour advanced training into one intensive, career-focused program. Designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this is the most efficient path to the highest yoga credential.

Learn traditional Hatha, dynamic Vinyasa, and structured Ashtanga yoga from experienced E-RYT 500 instructors. Our complete curriculum includes beginner to advanced asana practice, complete pranayama mastery, meditation and mindfulness, comprehensive philosophy, yoga therapy, anatomy, Ayurveda, and professional teaching methodology. This is a time-efficient and cost-effective option - save up to $385 compared to taking the courses separately!

By the end of this 51-day transformative journey, you will be eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-500 (subject to Yoga Alliance's teaching-hours requirement) - the highest credential available for yoga teachers worldwide. This qualification positions you as a master yoga professional, opening doors to teaching opportunities globally. Swaastik Yog School is a USA-recognized Registered Yoga School (RYS) registered as RYS 200, RYS 300 and RYS 500.

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 had a wonderful learning experience at Swastik Yoga School, Rishikesh. 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.

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.
