I went there on purpose to learn more of the traditional ways of teaching. All of my teachers had years of experience and they grew up in that culture. It is the Yog capital of the world. I think your comments on staying longer is great. I did that. I went to places like Haridwar, Ujjain and Maheshwar. Parmarth Niketan is a wonderful place to do arti. Sadhana on the Ghats~ magical
Thank you for sharing this information about Yoga Trainings and your experience in India. Great tips before getting started on the journey to a 200 hour program. Thank you!
Nice .. it also depends which school you are going .. lot of schools have put their prices cheap so they can attract more students and they don’t hire experienced and qualified teachers. So when you choose schools it’s important to see the quality of the curriculum good schools are not cheap .
I would love to do my advanced training in Rishikesh! I was fortunate to visit there and take a class there as well as experience the pujas in Hardivar. This was a great video! Looking forward to seeing your whole adventure!
Aww thanks Charlotte! I LOVE making them and remembering the experience. I've got a couple more coming I hope! :) (and maybe one day a 300 hour :D) MISS YOU!
I love yoga! So glad you were able to go to India and have this experience then taking this & giving it to others. I know I didn’t really know before the difference types of yoga but had heard of many and was shocked that there were different types. I’ve always wanted to try Hot Yoga 🧘♀️
Ahh thank you for watching Shawnie! I've tried Hot Yoga - it's intense but a great workout. I am very grateful for the experience. And thank you for sharing yours!
I just did mine online. I wished I had done it in person. It was more conventional to do from home but online I was one of 400+ students. I couldn't ask questions or clarificatuon. I contacted them, it felt like an abyss. A lot of it had to be the honor system. I didn't feel like I earned it and didn't get what I needed. For the 300 I will do in person only.
Thank you soo much for having such experience of india..it's really honor for me to see such wonde people like you for exploring our yoga life with others..🥰🙏🕉take care and god bless you...i am a big fan of your too..,🤗
Hi Victoria, your videos on your teacher training inspired me to book my stay at Drishti Yoga School, so thanks a lot for your impressions and tips! I was wondering which school in Rishikesh would be the best and watching your videos made me decide on them. Looking forward to this experience next March! All the best from Germany
Yoga 🧘♀️ 🕉 one of core practices of Hindu cultures (sanatana dharma) practices. lot of yoga bhakti yoga, karma yoga, !!!!!!!!!!l lot of iknow 2 but lot of Jai Hindu 🚩 🙏
Great vid you got me all up in my feels! So spot on and relative to my experience studying there, especially with the shatkarmas haha! Such a special place. Did you try the lemonana?
Great point about making extra time to explore -- I feel like this would help me focus on the program while I'm there and know that I'll have time to explore -- I feel like that goes for every program in any country
Victoria namaste. Thanks for this informative vlog on your experience at that Yoga school. I've been mediating since 2009 and doing Haath yoga since 2013. I've been planning to do a Meditation and Yoga TTC for a couple of years. I've been to Rishikesh twice and the last time was last October 2023. Rishikesh is phenomenal from my experience. Is there TTC for meditation at that school you attended?
Hi Victoria, I am looking for a yoga teacher training school in Rishikesh and to be honest, there are so much…I do not know how to ever decide! I heard that there are a lot of scams and I just want to make sure to enroll in an experienced school 🙏🏼 Were you happy with Drishti? They had some bad reviews about the food (flies on it, not hygienic,…). Thanks so much in advance. 🙏🏼 Franzi
Thank you for this video. I am interested in a vinyasa/Ashtanga Teacher training program there in India- is there a school you would recommend in particular? It’s so hard to find info online. Thank you in advance for your time.
Hello! I loved my experience at my school. But I would hesitate to recommend any one in particular because I think it really depends on what you're looking for. Something that can be helpful is find alumni of different schools and ask about their experience - Instagram is a good tool for that!
@@victoria_zee thank you for your input. I think this is a great idea However, I'm not using social media like Instagram at this time but ill reach out to various yoga studios and see what I can cull. thanks again
@@opulentElephant11 shiv yog is best place to learn ancient indian yoga :) even they will teach you meditation and empower you :) tell you theory of karma ,how to burn bad karma etc... :) Even teach you healing reiki , atomic level healing , shri vidya sadhan ( mediation of menifestation) I am saying because I am a pupil of dr avadhoot shivanand (his age is more than 300,+) ( yeah don't believe in wikipedia about his age ) we know because we meet him in our meditation too :) you can search in google what's is " shri vidya sadhana a" and "sambhavi sadhana"
Thank you for this video! I am curious about 30 days e-visa, should be the expected day of arrival you mention in visa to be your real date of arrival? or the counting starts only after you cross the border no matter what expected day of arirval you put?
I am a advanced kriya yogi from India, if you come to rishikesh again you can connect with me, I can help you guide it here and also can help you explore deep spiritual knowledge in rishikesh and India 🙂
Hi sorry what do we have to check on yoga alliance website ? The yoga school I will be going saying yoga alliance . So what additional info to check here? Thanks 🙏
hello! Schools that are registered with the yoga alliance had to go through some approval process with their curriculum, as far as I understand. It can be nice to find schools with that certification because it can be helpful for teaching in the future.
I really enjoyed this video and I am looking for a school in India to hopefully do my teacher training this year. I was sure I had already commented here but I can't seem to find my previous comment. Out of all the schools I've looked at so far all the students seem to be young white women. Have you found this to be so? This is not a racial comment as I myself am a young white woman from UK. I just wondered why you don't see more Indian students at Indian yoga schools? I'm sure there are but as I've said, every one I've seen so far is young white ladies. Obviously the only thing that really matters is that it is a good school but I just noticed this and thought is was odd, so I thought I'd ask.
This is SUCH a good question. I completely understand what you mean and I felt the same way getting my certification. I will say that at my school - Drishti Yoga School - we did have two Indian students. The rest were from the UK and the U.S. primarily. I think Rishikesh has become such a huge market for yoga schools for Westerners. I don't know exactly the answer to this but it's such a good conversation to have. Many of my teachers attended local universities where they received their master's in yoga - I imagine some Indian students go that route. I tried to find a school that was more traditional and I think Drishti is compared to some. But I agree it seems very challenging to find a school that's not all young white females.
@@victoria_zee Hey thanks for your reply. Yeah like I said I don't have a problem with it, it was just something I noticed and wondered why and I think you are right. I definitely want to go down the more traditional route too. I LOVED what you said about the yogic cleansing and it's definitely something I want to be part of my teacher training. I hadn't even thought about this before your video. Though I do do the neti pot thing which completely healed my allergies. You have given me so much to think about and I'm now watching your other videos. Thank you :)
@@jacksnstaffs8293 actually there's a saying "grass is always greener on other side" nowadays indians like going gym and westerners like yoga ....maybe that's why !!

I know what you mean. I felt the exact same way when I started. Vinyasa is probably the most common. But take your time and try out any you like. It makes it easier if you can find a friend to go with you the first time :)
Can u please tell me I'm from India and I want to do yoga course after my 12th study and I want to know how much percentage is imp to take admission there and how much INR fees there and 200 course is a certificate course or pg diploma course Please reply.....!!!!
Hello! It depends on where you're going to teach. But for most studios IN THE UNITED STATES, if you have your certification (200 hours or 300 hours) you can apply for a job at a yoga studio. You usually have to audition, as well. And the studio may restrict you to teach only beginner classes, but it depends! Ultimately though the answer is yes.
@@victoria_zee wow great to hear that....as I will love to upgrade my skills if I had a chance I will explore the places with the help of yoga thnq so much god bless❤️
