Your Certificate
What you leave with
Not a PDF and a handshake. A numbered, verifiable certificate that a studio on the other side of the world can check against our records while you are still sitting in the interview.
Cert No-HYVS-200-2026-K7Q4MANJANA KUMARhas successfully completed the 100 hourYOGA TEACHER TRAININGheld 2 – 28 March 2026, as perthe guidelines and standards of Yoga Alliance, USA, which involved extensive practice and study of Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pranayama and Meditation.SCAN TO VERIFYThe school's own certificate, shown with a specimen name, number and signature — that number matches no record, the code on it opens this page rather than anyone's, and the signature is a stand-in. Yours carries your name, your photograph, your batch dates, a number that is yours alone, and the founder's own signature.
What is on the face of it
Six things are printed on every certificate this school issues, and each of them is there so that somebody who has never heard of us can still act on it.
- 01
The Yoga Alliance seal
Bottom left, beside the Yoga Alliance mark itself: the seal of a Registered Yoga School. Hariom Yoga Vidya School holds RYS 200, RYS 300 and RYS 500, and each certificate carries the seal for the level its training was run at.
- 02
Registration number YAID154719
Printed top left, on every certificate the school has ever issued. It is the school's own Yoga Alliance registration, and it can be looked up in the Yoga Alliance directory by anybody who wants to check us rather than the certificate.
- 03
A certificate number that is yours
Directly beneath it, in the form HYVS-200-2026-K7Q4M. The hours, the year and five characters drawn at random — thirty-three million possibilities per course, per year, so nobody guesses their way to a valid one.
- 04
A QR code that says SCAN TO VERIFY
Along the foot of the certificate. A phone camera opens our verification page for that exact certificate — no app, no typing, and no need to contact the school at all.
- 05
Your photograph, and the founder's signature
The portrait sits in the frame on the right and is printed into the document rather than stuck on afterwards. The signature is that of the school's founder, Yogi Pramod Sahoo, E-RYT 500, beside the school's Rishikesh seal.
- 06
Printed, not emailed as a template
Every certificate is generated from the school's own artwork with the type set into it, so the document a graduate is handed and the record in our register are made in the same moment, from the same data.
Two ways to check one
Scan the QR code
Point a phone camera at the code on the foot of the certificate. It opens the record for that certificate directly — nothing to type.
Or type the certificate number
Go to /verify-certificate and enter the number printed under the registration number, top left. Same record, same answer, and it works from a photocopy or a number read out over the phone.
Scan it, and it checks out
Every certificate carries a QR code pointing at our own records. A studio, retreat center or insurer can confirm in seconds that we issued it, for that course, on that date — without emailing us and waiting three days for a reply.
A number that is yours alone
The certificate number is unique to you and printed on the face of the certificate, top left, directly under the school's Yoga Alliance registration number. Nobody can guess it: the last five characters are drawn at random from an alphabet that makes thirty-three million codes per course, per year. It is the only thing anyone needs in order to check your training.
Registered with Yoga Alliance

Curriculum
The Full 100 Hour Syllabus
17 subjects across the full 100-hour syllabus — open any to see what it covers.
Hatha Yoga
Half past six in the morning, every morning, and for a good part of each batch the first classical yoga class they have taken. A posture is not demonstrated and copied here: you are given its name in English and Sanskrit, what it is for, who should leave it alone, then six meditative steps into and out of it and the counter-pose that follows. Joints and glands first, then standing, sitting, bending and twisting, then the fire series, the inversions and Shavasana.
Ashtanga Vinyasa
The dynamic half of the timetable, taught late in the afternoon when the body is warm and built up a series at a time rather than thrown at you whole — sun salutations A and B first, then the standing sequence. Ashtanga fixes the order of the postures, which is what makes it the strand where ujjayi breath, bandha and drishti stop being vocabulary and start being something you do. Reconstructed from the Yoga Korunta by Krishnamacharya and Pattabhi Jois, and taught with props where they help rather than around them.
Kundalini Yoga
The strand students least expect to find on a two week course, and an hour of its own every mid-morning. Kundalini works through mantra, repetition and kriya rather than through shape: it wakes the energy held dormant at the base of the spine and follows it up through the chakras and nadis it passes. Taught from the beginning — the history, the methods of awakening, the seven chakras from Muladhara to Sahasrara — and with the contraindications that belong to it, which practices to leave alone and when.
Hatha Yoga
The spine of the course. Every asana is taught the same way: its name in English and Sanskrit, its history, its benefits and contraindications, how to enter it step by step, and the counter-pose that follows.
- Six steps of doing an asana meditatively: centring, entering, refining, holding, coming out, reflection
- Joints and glands movement, then the full sequence
- Standing, sitting, backward and forward bending, spinal twists
- Fire series, inversions, Surya and Chandra Namaskara, Shavasana
Ashtanga Vinyasa
Reconstructed from the Yoga Korunta, a palm-leaf manuscript found in the 1930s by Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois. Built up a series at a time rather than thrown at you whole.
- Sun salutation A and B, week one
- Standing series, week two; sitting and finishing series, week three
- Ujjayi breath, bandha in Ashtanga, and drishti
- Proper use of props, and the challenging asanas
Kundalini Yoga
The most spiritual strand of the course: repetitive asana, mantra, singing and breathwork used to wake the energy that sits dormant at the base of the spine and clear the chakras it rises through.
- Introduction, history and styles of Kundalini; methods of awakening
- Kriya yoga, and the role of prana in awakening and aura
- Nadis, chakras, granthis and kshetras
- All seven chakras, Muladhara through Sahasrara
Pranayama
Prana is the vital energy of the body, yama its expansion. Seven techniques, each taught with its meaning, benefits, contraindications and duration before you ever practice it.
- Kapalabhati, the frontal brain cleansing breath
- Sheetali and Sheetkari, the cooling and hissing breaths
- Bhastrika, Bhramri and Ujjayi
- Nadishodhana, channel purification — techniques one, two and three
Satkarma
Six purification techniques — Basti, Nauli, Dhauti, Trataka, Neti and Kapalbhati — each targeting specific organs, balancing the tridoshas and freeing the flow of prana through the nadis.
- Introduction to all six types, with benefits and contraindications
- Jala Neti: preparation, demonstration, technique, practice
- Sutra Neti, introduced and demonstrated by a teacher first
- Kapalbhati as kriya as well as pranayama
Bandhas
A bandha is a lock. Muscular contractions that hold and redirect energy towards particular organs, raising blood flow and prana with it.
- Jalandhara Bandha — the thyroid, parathyroid and respiratory organs
- Uddiyana Bandha — the heart chakra and the abdominal organs
- Mula Bandha — especially used to awaken Kundalini energy
- Maha Bandha — the three together, the highest form of body lock
Mudra - Gesture
Gestures that channel prana through the body. In Ayurveda each finger carries one of the five mahabhutas — fire, earth, air, water, ether — so a gesture can raise or lower the flow to a given part of you.
- Jnana Mudra, the psychic gesture of knowledge
- Chin Mudra, the psychic gesture of consciousness
- Bhairava (Shiva) Mudra
- Hridaya Mudra, the heart gesture
Meditation
Not one technique but a dozen, so you leave with a practice that suits you rather than the one you were handed. Props included: singing bowls, malas, music.
- Mantra chanting, Ajapa and OM meditation
- Trataka: dot, yantra and candle practice
- Walking, dancing and music meditation
- Osho dynamic meditation, and the sixty-one energy points
Yogic Relaxation Techniques
Conscious relaxation taught as a discipline in its own right — instant and quick techniques, Shavasana as guided practice, and Yoga Nidra for the deep states.
- Point-to-point movement, then stillness
- Point-to-point and whole-body tension and release
- Selective tension and relaxation of individual body parts
- Spinal breathing with So-Ham, and visualization at the cardiac center
Alignment, Correction & Adjustment
Alignment is the precise placement of feet, legs, pelvis, spine, arms and head so energy moves freely and joints stay safe. Adjustment is how you help someone else find it, with sensitivity and consent.
- Components of alignment: spine, joints, muscles
- Physical adjustment versus verbal adjustment
- Benefits beyond the physical, and the limits of hands-on work
- Alignment and adjustment set as homework on real asanas
Teaching Methodology
"Teaching is an art and it can be developed through practice and knowledge." Twenty-odd principles the school teaches by, from starting on time to reading the energy of a room.
- Welcome the students; start and end the class on time
- Always ask about physical problems and injuries first
- Clear instructions, audible voice, adjustments verbal and physical
- Equal attention to all, extra attention to beginners until they catch up
Yoga Philosophy
The blueprint under the practice: mind, body and soul as one thing, and the framework that says which parts of the practice you cannot leave out.
- Yoga Sutra — discipline, types of thought, God
- Seven chakras; three gunas: sattva, rajas, tamas
- Three bodies: sthula, sukshma, karana; types of yoga
- Obstacles to yoga, causes of pain, the eight limbs — exercises and exam
Mantra Chanting
"Manas" means mind and "tra" means instrument or freedom from — so mantra literally means a tool the mind uses to free itself from its own distractions.
- The Hatha Yoga opening chant, Yogena Chittasya
- Aum, and the Gayatri mantra
- Ganesh mantra and Guru mantra
- Ashtanga Vinyasa opening and closing mantras
Fire & Flower Ceremonies
The havan that opens the course, and the flower mandala laid out for it — marigolds on the grass, the tilak, and the batch sitting round the kund making offerings into the fire.
- The traditional havan at the school
- Laying the Om and the mandala in flower petals
- Receiving the tilak
- No prior experience assumed
Himalayan Excursion
A day out of the school and into the foothills — sacred sites, temples and monasteries, guided hikes and nature walks, and the local culture around them.
- Visits to sacred sites, temples and monasteries
- Guided hikes and nature walks in the foothills
- Connection with local culture, traditions and people
- Included in the course fee
Cultural Program
An evening of traditional music, dance and performance by local artists, with students invited to take part and show what they can do.
- Traditional music and dance by local artists
- Art forms, instruments and regional dance styles
- Regional cuisine
- Cultural workshops students can join
Certificate Ceremony
The close of the course: certificates handed over in front of your teachers and your batch, and a chance to say what the fortnight actually did.
- Certificate of completion presented
- Reflection on the journey and shared gratitude
- Blessings and well-wishes from teachers and classmates
- Marks the start of your teaching path

Fees
What the 100 Hour Costs, and What Is Included
One figure, quoted per person in US dollars. Everything the course needs is inside it.
A shared room on the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training costs $799≈€799≈£699≈A$1,299≈C$1,099≈₹71,999 per person, down from $999≈€999≈£799≈A$1,599≈C$1,399≈₹89,999; a private room on the same course is $899≈€899≈£799≈A$1,399≈C$1,299≈₹80,999, down from $1,199≈€1,199≈£999≈A$1,899≈C$1,699≈₹1,07,999. Both are all inclusive, and on a fortnight-long residential course that covers more than most people expect: every class on the timetable, your room for all 14 days, three vegetarian meals a day, study material, a yoga kit that is yours to keep, the Himalayan excursion, the fire ceremony, the Ganga Aarti, your certificate, and a free pick-up from Dehradun airport.
Both rates are printed against every batch in the table below, so you can see what a given month costs before you write to us. A deposit holds your seat and the balance is due when you arrive.
Book your flights against the dates in that table, because they are the whole stay: you arrive on the 2nd and you leave on the 15th, and your room and your meals are covered on both of those days. Teaching begins on the morning of the 3rd.
How payment works — deposit, bank transfer and what happens if your plans change.
What the fee does not cover
- Your flights, and your visa.
- Personal expenses, and any extra activities you choose in Rishikesh.
- Travel to Rishikesh from anywhere other than Dehradun airport. A cab from Delhi airport can be arranged and is charged separately — ask us for the current price before you book it.
- Air conditioning and a heater. Neither is in the standard package; both can be arranged at an extra cost.

Who the 100 Hour Is For
- Age limit – Above 16 years
- Open to beginners and intermediate practitioners — no prior teaching experience required
- Suited to anyone wanting to explore yoga before committing to a 200-hour training
What Your 100 Hour Certificate Is
- This course is not a standalone teaching certification. It counts as the first 100 hours of a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification — complete the remaining hours with us and you graduate eligible to register as an RYT.
- You finish with a certificate of completion from Hariom Yoga Vidya School, a Yoga Alliance registered school, presented at the closing ceremony.
The pathway
100 or 200 Hours — Which Should You Choose?
The 100 hour is the foundation course: fourteen days, no experience needed, and on its own it does not make you a Yoga Alliance registered teacher.
Yoga Alliance registers schools at 200, 300 and 500 hours. There is no 100 hour level for a school to hold or for a graduate to apply at, so what you leave here with is a certificate of completion from a Yoga Alliance registered school — a verifiable record of 100 contact hours, and not a teaching credential. It is worth being plain about that, because the phrase “100 hour certification” is used very loosely online.
What these hours do is count. They are the first 100 of a 200 hour training, taught from the same syllabus by the same teachers on the same daily timetable — the fortnight is shorter, not thinner. Come back and complete the remaining hours with us and you graduate eligible to apply for RYT 200 registration, which is the credential a studio actually asks to see.
So the choice is about time rather than about ambition. If you have four weeks and you already know you want to teach, book the 200 hour and be done in one trip. If you have two weeks, or you would rather find out what a training is like before you commit a month to one, start here — either way, nothing you do in these fourteen days is spent twice.
For international students
Coming to Rishikesh from Abroad
What to settle before you book a flight, and what the certificate is worth when you get home.
The visa you need
A tourist visa, and for a fortnight it is a straightforward one. This course runs 14 days; a tourist e-visa covers a stay of up to 60 days, and you apply for it online before you travel. You do not need a student visa for a 100 hour training. There is no visa on arrival either, so settle the visa first and book the flight second. We are not immigration advisors — confirm the current rules with your own embassy before you pay for anything.
Getting here, and getting back
Jolly Grant (DED) in Dehradun is the nearest airport, and most students reach it on a short domestic flight out of New Delhi. Your pick-up from DED is free, already inside the fee, and arranged around your flight rather than around a timetable — book whatever hour suits you and a car will be there for it. By road from Delhi it is 5 to 6 hours; Haridwar railway station is 45 minutes from the school. On a two week trip, book the return leg before you come.
What the certificate is, at home
It is issued by a Yoga Alliance registered school and it is verifiable: a studio anywhere can scan the QR code on it and confirm we issued it, for this course, on those dates. What it is not is a teaching registration — and no 100 hour certificate from any school is one, because Yoga Alliance has no 100 hour level. The credential studios ask for abroad is the RYT 200, and these are the first hundred hours of it. Finishing the second hundred with us leaves that application yours to make.
When to come
A batch starts on the 2nd of every month, so a fortnight fits into whichever leave you can take. October to February is the cool season and January is the coldest month of it. March to June is summer, reaching 35 degrees in June. July to September is the monsoon — warm, humid, and the greenest the valley gets.
We are not immigration advisors. Confirm the current rules with your own embassy or consulate before you pay for anything.

Questions
Questions About the 100 Hour Training
The things people ask us most about this course.
Is two weeks long enough to train in yoga?+
It is long enough to learn a great deal and it is not long enough to become a registered teacher, and those are answers to two different questions. Fourteen days here is 100 contact hours across nine-hour days — the same subjects, the same eight teachers and the same timetable as the 200 hour training, in half the days. What a fortnight cannot buy is the registration level, because Yoga Alliance has no 100 hour standard. If teaching is the goal, treat this as the first half and plan the second.
I have never done yoga before. Can I still join the 100 hour training?+
Yes, and a good part of every batch is in the same position. The course is graded for it: Hatha starts at joints and glands before it reaches a classical posture, Ashtanga is built up from the sun salutations rather than dropped on you whole, and every asana is taught with its modifications and with the people who should leave it alone. You need to be 16 or older and able to follow the classes in English, and there is no upper age limit. Nothing else is assumed.
Is the 100 hour the same teaching as the first half of your 200 hour?+
Yes. The subject list is the same list, the daily timetable is the same timetable, and the eight teachers are the same eight. What differs is how far each subject is taken, because 100 hours is half of 200 — and that is also why the two merge cleanly. Students who come back for the remaining hours are put into the 200 hour classes for the parts they have not covered.
Can I come back later and complete the remaining 100 hours?+
That is what the course is built to allow, and there is no deadline on our side. Returning students are merged into the 200 hour classes for the parts they have not covered, and completing the full 200 hours leaves you eligible to apply for RYT 200 registration with Yoga Alliance. Write to us when you are ready, tell us when you did your 100 hours, and we will tell you which batch to book and what it costs.
Can I join the 100 hour if I have no intention of teaching?+
Plenty of people do, and nobody here is required to want a certificate — the philosophy, pranayama, meditation and satkarma are worth a fortnight on their own. Be clear with yourself about which you want, though, because this is a training rather than a retreat: the first class is at half past six and there are nine scheduled hours in the day, with assignments in the evening. If rest is what you are after, one of our retreats is the better booking.
What does the 200 hour cover that the 100 hour does not?+
Not different subjects — more of them. Put the two syllabuses side by side and they name the same list, from Hatha and Ashtanga through satkarma, bandha, mudra, philosophy and teaching methodology. The second hundred hours are spent going further into that same list and practicing teaching it, across 27 days instead of 14. The other difference is the one on paper: 200 hours is a level Yoga Alliance registers, and 100 hours is not.
