So, you've decided to become a yoga teacher. Congratulations! One of the first questions students ask is: "How long will it take?" The standard 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is an intensive journey, but the duration can vary.
The Standard: 24 to 28 Days
Most traditional schools in Rishikesh, including Swaastik Yog School, offer a 25-day residential program. This intensive format allows you to:
- Immerse fully in the yogic lifestyle
- Complete your contact hours (practice, philosophy, anatomy)
- Have Sundays off for rest and excursions
Why 25 Days?
Yoga Alliance requires 200 hours of training. Breaking this down:
- Daily Schedule: Approx. 8-9 hours of classes per day.
- Self-Study: Time for reading and assignments.
- Rest: Essential for the body to recover.
Trying to cram this into fewer days (e.g., 2 weeks) is physically exhausting and often leads to burnout. We believe 25 days is the "sweet spot" for deep learning and integration.
Can I Do It Part-Time?
Some schools offer part-time courses over weekends, which can take 3-6 months. However, the immersive experience of a residential course in Rishikesh is unmatched. You live, eat, and breathe yoga.
