But maybe something keeps holding you back:
“Am I flexible enough?”
“Am I really ready for a teacher training?”
“What if I’m not sure I want to teach afterward?”
“What if I can’t take a full month away from work or family?”
You’re not alone. You’re not behind.
And you are exactly who the SVL Yoga Teacher Training was created for: Seekers & Teachers!
Born in Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga, and expanding to Bali, the global heart of wellness, SVL Yoga offers a unique integration of authentic Rishikesh lineage with modern embodiment practices, guided always by compassion.
Here, yoga is not just something you learn.
It’s something you live, embody, and become.
To ensure your 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training journey in Rishikesh is smooth, transparent, and fully supported, we’ve clearly outlined everything that’s included in your program — and what isn’t. From accommodation and daily vegetarian meals to expert-led training and study materials, every detail is thoughtfully designed to support your learning, growth, and wellbeing. We recommend reviewing this section carefully so you know exactly what to expect during your time with us at SVL Yoga.
Designed to Support Your Growth, On & Off the Mat
Please Note: The Following Are Not Included
The SVL Method™ is our signature four-pillar system that integrates authentic Rishikesh lineage, modern embodiment practices, breathwork and holistic healing wisdom delivering a multidimensional, deeply transformative experience found in very few YTTs worldwide.
Do I need to be an "advanced" yogi or super flexible to join?
Absolutely not. At SVL, we value presence over performance. Yoga is about the internal experience, not the external shape. Our trainings are designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you’ve been practicing for years or are just beginning to dive deep.
I don’t necessarily want to teach; can I still do the TTC?
Yes. About 40% of our students join for personal transformation, inner healing, and a deeper understanding of the yogic lifestyle. The SVL Method™ is a journey of self-discovery first.
The SVL Hybrid YTT combines the flexibility of online learning with the power of a physical immersion in Rishikesh or Bali. It’s designed to fit your life, not disrupt it.
Online Roots: Start with self-paced course modules. You have one full year to complete this at your own speed, before or after the in person immersion.
In-Person Immersion (Embodiment): A 5-day intensive training focused on holistic practices, asana labs, workshops and inner work in a small, intimate group setting (max 8).
Certification (Practical): Graduate via open-book reflection assignments and a video teaching submission (within 1 year) to earn your globally recognized Yoga Alliance accredited YACEP certification.
The Bottom Line: You get an authentic, embodied experience without the "exam anxiety" or the need to take a full month away from work and family.
Is SVL Yoga registered with Yoga Alliance?
Yes. SVL Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS). Upon successful completion, you will receive a lifetime valid certification that enables you to register as an RYT-200/300/500 or as YACEP 50/100 hr with Yoga Alliance, which is recognized globally. For our specialized 50/100-hour modules, we offer YACEP credits.
*Please note that while anyone can attend these deep-dive modules for personal growth, Yoga Alliance only allows these hours to be officially registered as Continuing Education by those who already hold an RYT status.
Will I be confident enough to teach after just 5 days of immersion?
Yes, because the 5 days are focused on practical application. We spend our time on practices, asana labs, and workshops. You leave prepared with knowledge, tools and confidence to lead a holistic yoga class.
What styles of yoga will I be certified to teach?
Our curriculum is based on The SVL Method. You will be equipped with skills and knowledge to teach Yin yoga, breathwork and holistic practices as multi-dimensional yoga teacher.
What is included in the in-person immersion package?
Typically, your program fee includes your comfortable accommodation, nutritious vegetarian/vegan meals (depening upon package selected) & training materials.
Are Rishikesh/Bali safe for solo female travelers?
Both Rishikesh (the World Capital of Yoga) and Bali (the Island of the Gods) stand as two of the world’s most welcoming and safest destinations for solo travelers, yoga and spiritual seekers. Our trainings are organised in quiet haven within these vibrant hubs, where your comfort is our priority. To honor your ease and safety, we ensure you feel at home and fully supported from the very first day by providing expert local insights.
How do I pay, and are there installment plans?
To secure your spot, a $300 non-refundable deposit is required. The remaining balance can be paid leading up to 30 days before your immersion start date.
The deposit is non-refundable, if the booking is cancelled. Booking can be shifted to a later date subject to approval from school and availability if informed 2 months before arrival.
The rest of the payment should be paid 4 weeks before arrival.
You have 12 months of access to the online portal. Most students complete the entire certification within 1 month, but you can go as fast or as slow as you need

You are in great hands.Between the pure energy of Mother Ganga and Himalayan excursions, you will find the environment you need to truly transform.
I completed the hybrid course, and I truly loved the experience. The training is well organized and enriching. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and extremely approachable. They are genuinely kind, very responsive to students’ needs and requests. Rishikesh itself is a magical place, and the school location is perfect for reflection, connection, and an introspective journey. Already looking forward to my next trip to Rishikesh.
Amazing experience and best school! Truly everything, starting from experienced teachers, well organised schedule, amazing food and very helpful staff . I felt warm welcomed since very beginning. All classes were interesting and full of knowledge.I have learnt much more then I expected. About yoga but also about myself. I wasn't sure at beginning which school choose but now I know that it was best choice I could make.
Authentic and life changing experience. Absolutely recommend! Teachers were knowledgeable, experienced and patient. I loved the schedule, especially morning practice, before sunset and philosophy classes. Location was local and authentic and pretty cool being in the birth place of yoga by the river Ganges. So many great memories and I'm excited to now go a pass on the practices I've been taught! I will come back to SVL Yoga.

From the Dehradun Airport, you can easily book a taxi, or simply share your arrival details with us — we’ll be happy to arrange a comfortable cab transfer directly to our school in Rishikesh.
If you enjoy road journeys, hiring a taxi from Indira Gandhi International Airport to Rishikesh is a beautiful and memorable experience.

The road to Rishikesh is not just travel — it’s the beginning of your journey.
Traveling with Indian Railways is a wonderful way to experience India’s landscapes and local culture.
