Rishikesh offers a wide variety of yoga certification courses.

And what a place to embark on this journey.

With many Ashrams and Yoga schools offering courses to deepen your practice and explore meditation.

Temples and ashrams line the eastern bank around Swarg Ashram, an alcohol-free and vegetarian enclave upstream from town.

You'll be able to enjoy delicious Ayurvedic, organic and health food.

Here you will find Yoga schools, Yoga workshops, spiritual teachers giving Satsang, and cafes filled with Yogis.

And of course many of the best yoga certification courses in the world.

The Holy City of Rishikesh is on the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India.

The sacred Ganges river flows through the middle of town.

Home to Yoga ... Yoga is a marvel in Rishikesh ... just like The Ganges River.

And the air is so crisp and breathable.

Meditate by the Ganges. In the evening an almost supernatural breeze blows through, setting temple bells ringing as sadhus and pilgrims prepare for the nightly ganga aarti,a devotional ritual to Goddess(Ma) Ganga of candles and flowers floated down the river.

Most of the year the foothills provide a cool escape, May starts to get quite hot and the monsoon comes through July to August.

Many people consider the months after the monsoon the best time to stay as the nature is alive and green.

And its not far out of town that you are surrounded by nature and great spots on the Ganges.

If time allows maybe consider your yoga teacher training near to the time of the International Yoga Festival, held in March each year.

Every type of yoga course is available here.

Whatever yoga style or course focus you are searching for with trainings offering in-depth practice of pranayama, meditation.

Training fees are probably the most affordable in the world too.

Your yoga course will meet the standard set by Yoga Alliance if it is a Yoga Alliance registered school.

Make sure of this if you want to teach back home. It's the standard yoga certification required.

Enjoy completing your Yoga Certification in Rishikesh.
