Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
Find Stillness and Heal Deeply at Sriezaa Yogshala
85 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
The 85 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh at Sriezaa Yogshala is one of the most deeply healing and transformative yoga programs available in India today. In a world that never stops moving, learning to be still is the most powerful practice you can develop. This 5 day immersive course teaches you exactly that.
Set in the sacred city of Rishikesh the yoga capital of the world at the foot of the Himalayan mountains and beside the sacred Ganga river, this program combines long-held yoga postures, deep stretching, pranayama, meditation, mindfulness, and yogic philosophy into one complete and restorative experience.
DEEP STRETCHING
MENTAL CLARITY
RESTORE DEEPLY
What Is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a passive and deeply restorative style of yoga where postures are held for three to five minutes or longer. Unlike dynamic, muscle-focused yoga styles, Yin Yoga targets the deeper layers of the body the connective tissues, fascia, joints, and ligaments.
The practice creates a quality of physical release and energetic opening that no faster practice can achieve. By holding postures with full muscular relaxation, Yin Yoga releases stiffness, improves joint mobility, and creates conditions for deep energetic and emotional release.
The Yin Yoga course in Rishikesh at Sriezaa Yogshala is rooted in both the ancient Taoist tradition of long held yoga postures and the classical Indian yogic understanding of prana the life force that flows through the body’s energy channels. This is not just yoga for the body. It is yoga for the nervous system, the emotions, the energy field, and the soul.
According to scientific research on Yin Yoga and stress reduction, regular Yin Yoga practice produces measurable reductions in cortisol levels, heart rate, and anxiety. The practice is also aligned with Yoga Alliance international certification standards for continuing education and teacher training.
Essential Yin Yoga Poses You Will Learn at Sriezaa Yogshala
Butterfly Pose
Targets Inner thighs · Groin · Lower back
Sit with the soles of your feet together and fold gently forward. One of the most accessible and deeply releasing postures in the Yin Yoga system — ideal for beginners stepping onto the mat for the first time.
Dragon Pose
Targets Hip flexors · Groin
Step one foot forward into a deep lunge, keeping the back knee on the mat. Dragon Pose deeply opens the hip flexors and groin — one of the most powerful postures in the entire Yin system.
Sleeping Swan
Targets Glutes · Hip opener
Bring one shin forward at an angle and fold over it. A powerful hip opener that releases stored tension in the glutes. Many students experience profound emotional releases in this pose.
Caterpillar Pose
Targets Spine · Hamstrings
Sit with legs extended and fold forward slowly. Stretches the entire spine and hamstrings with a quality of release impossible to achieve through active stretching — one of the signature long-held postures of the Yin system.
Saddle Pose
Targets Quadriceps · Hip flexors · Sacral arch
Sit back between the heels using props as needed. Opens the quadriceps, hip flexors, and sacral lumbar arch — one of the most deeply restorative postures in the yoga for flexibility and joints curriculum.
Why Do the 85 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh?
Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world. This sacred city on the banks of the Ganga, nestled at the foot of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand, has been a center of yogic wisdom and practice for centuries. The Himalayan air is clean and cool. The sacred Ganga flows strong and clear. Ancient temples, ashrams, and a living community of dedicated practitioners fill every corner of the city with genuine spiritual energy.
For Yin Yoga — a practice that demands stillness, inwardness, and deep sensitivity — this environment is especially powerful. The natural silence of the Himalayan foothills supports the quality of inner listening that Yin Yoga cultivates. Sriezaa Yogshala is located in Upper Tapovan, one of the most peaceful and spiritually vibrant areas of Rishikesh.
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय।
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते॥
By being established in Yoga, O Dhananjaya, undertake actions, casting off attachment and remaining equipoised in success and failure. Equanimity is called Yoga.
"Bhagwat Gita Chapter 2, Verse 48"
