100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Jeevatman Yogshala
A Mindful Introduction to The Yogic Path
We know that not everyone wants to teach. Not everyone wants soul awakenings. Sometimes we just want to escape reality and take some time to understand ourselves better. To move physically, practice mindfulness, and learn what yoga is beyond Instagram and studios.
That’s what a 100-hour yoga teacher training course in India at Jeevatman Yogshala is. A pause from your reality. One breath at a time. A subtle start to your yogic journey.
Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for a while and want to dive a little deeper, this short 100-hour yoga teacher training course is for you. For you to slow down, reconnect, and experience yoga.
At Jeevatman Yogshala, yoga is a soulful experience and not a performance. Our 100-hour yoga TTC invites you to move, breathe, and return to yourself.
Why the 100-hour yoga teacher training course came into existence
Jeevatman Yogshala created the 100-hour yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh because many people from around the world told us:
‘I want to go to India for yoga, but I am not ready for a full 200-hour course.’
So we listened. This 100-hour yoga course is for people who are curious, sincere, and want something meaningful without the overwhelm. For the woman who is working non-stop, forgetting what rest feels like. For the man who has been practicing yoga for years but doesn’t know anything beyond the poses. For the artist, the healer, the introvert, the traveller, the seeker, for someone who just wants a few weeks off from their current reality. You don’t need to be flexible, you don’t need to teach, you don’t need to know Sanskrit, you just need to show up, and the rest will unfold naturally.
Why choose Jeevatman Yogshala in Rishikesh for a 100-hour YTTC
Rishikesh, a small town in India, is a hub for yoga. A place where you breathe spirituality and peace. Many yogis and sadhus have found their samadhi in this very place. The rich Himalayan culture and heritage of this place are worth experiencing. When it comes to learning yoga, you don’t only need the best yoga school but also a spiritual and peaceful environment. Rishikesh provides you with a perfect fusion of spirituality and adventure. Studying yoga here is different. You don’t just learn it; you feel it in your existence.
Yes, we know there are many yoga schools in Rishikesh, India. But at Jeevatman Yogshala, you’re not just another face or a number in a WhatsApp group. At Jeevatman, you’re seen, you’re heard, and you’re held.
What makes us different?
You’re Seen, Not Judged
At Jeevatman, you aren’t just another face. Your life-story, your presence, and your truth matter to us. Whether you are an introvert who just likes to observe or an extrovert who is fully expressive, we welcome you with no judgments. Jeevatman is your safe space where you can be your raw self without any fear.
Teachers Who Live Yoga
Teachers at Jeevatman don’t just quote some sutras; they live them, practice daily, and teach from what they have experienced. It is not textbook knowledge that they have; it is a lifestyle that they practice.
Silence is a Part of Learning
At Jeevatman, not every moment is filled. We believe space is sacred; between classes, inside your body, and in your mind. You will have time to breathe and reflect. Without any guilt, you will pause your fast-paced life. In this silence and stillness, you will feel the harmony.
The Practice isn’t Limited to the Classes
Yoga at Jeevatman is not just on the mat; it is a practice off the mat, too. You begin to notice how presence feels in everyday things; sweeping the floor, sitting together for meals, or even sharing silences. The mat becomes your mirror; you start reflecting, and the real yoga starts when you step off it.
It’s Simple and That’s the Magic
There is no fancy set-up or some big luxurious resort, just a simple aashram-like setting in the heart of Yoga Capital of the World – Rishikesh, India. With Maa Ganga flowing nearby and mountains as our wallpaper, it’s simple, and that’s the magic. Just quiet mornings, honest conversations, sattvic food, and people who care about your wellbeing.

Life at Jeevatman Yogshala, Rishikesh
Stay
The rooms at Jeevatman are cozy, clean, and peaceful. You will feel like you are in a quiet corner of the world where you can truly rest. You can choose between a private or shared room; it is nothing fancy, but it is full of heart. You will have everything you need – soft bedding, warm water, fresh air, and enough space to breathe and just be.
Food:
We serve simple and delicious sattvic meals twice a day. Consisting of freshly chopped fruits/fresh fruit juice, warm chapatis with ghee, nourishing dals, vegetables, rice, herbal teas, hot soups, etc. Everything is vegetarian, sattvic, cooked with love, and served fresh. As it's said that Aahar (food) is directly related to Vichaar (thoughts), so we make it with utmost care and love.
Location:
We are located in a quieter part of Rishikesh, away from the chaos, but within walking distance from the ghats of Maa Ganga. You will hear the temple bells in the distance, feel the fresh air through the trees, and often see the clear skies change the colours. It is a kind of place where your soul will feel at peace and at home.
Excursion:
We don’t believe that Yoga is just on the mat, it is off the mat too. Excursions at Jeevatman are not. We take you for Ganga aarti for you to bathe yourself in the spiritual vibes of Maa Ganga, to sacred temples like Kunjapuri for sunrise. These moments will become memories, the kind you carry in your heart.
Community:
You will meet people from around the world, and within a few days of sharing the journey, you will feel like you have known them for years. It is not about being an extrovert or being social all the time; it is about sharing the same energy. Sitting next to someone in silence. Talking about life over tea without having a fear of getting judged. There is no pressure to fit in, but somehow you just will effortlessly fit in.
Vibe:
The energy at Jeevatman is Grounded, cozy, spiritual, and non-commercial. It is not performative or intense, it is not loud or dramatic. The vibe of Jeevatman will calm your mind and bring peace to your heart. You will feel an instant connection to nature. Where you will let go of your worries without any effort. The vibe here is not created, it is something you will feel and it will stay with you.
