Our Story

A School Built on the Banks of the Ganges

World Yoga Training was founded with a simple belief: that yoga, taught properly, changes people — and that this teaching should be accessible to anyone willing to show up, breathe, and begin.

Based in Rishikesh, the town where the modern global yoga movement traces much of its roots, our school brings together traditional teachings — from Hatha and Kundalini to Aerial and Acro Yoga — under one roof, taught by instructors who have spent years living and practicing this path.

What started as a small group of dedicated teachers has grown into a school that has welcomed students from around the world, each leaving not only with a certification, but with a practice that stays with them long after they've gone home.

Our Mission

To make authentic, well-taught yoga education accessible to anyone, regardless of prior experience, by offering safe, structured, and affordable teacher trainings in the setting where these traditions were born.

Our Vision

A global community of teachers who carry these practices forward with the same care, safety, and authenticity with which they learned them.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Authenticity

We teach the traditional roots of every style we offer, so what you learn is grounded in real lineage, not a shortcut version.

Accessibility

No prior experience, flexibility, or fitness level should stand between you and a genuine yoga education — every course is built to welcome true beginners.

Community

Training happens in small groups, in a shared space, away from the noise of everyday life — so students leave with both a certification and a community.

Safety

From spotting technique to anatomy, we hold safe, careful teaching as a non-negotiable part of every certification we offer.
