50 & 75 Hour Breathwork & Pranayama
Teacher Training in Rishikesh
“An Immersive Journey into the Heart of Pranayama”
The most in-depth, detailed and easy to understand Breathwork & Pranayama course for both yoga students and teachers.
A Yoga Alliance recognised course
Discover the Wisdom of Breath
Are you drawn to an in-person, deeply experiential pranayama teacher training in Rishikesh?
Our 50-Hour and 75-Hour Breathwork & Pranayama Teacher Trainings are designed for yoga teachers, committed practitioners, and spiritual explorers ready to explore the subtle and transformative dimensions of the breath.
Set against the sacred foothills of the Himalayas, this immersive training weaves together daily Hatha Yoga and Pranayama practice, yogic anatomy and physiology, psychology and philosophy, practical techniques workshops, and teaching practicums into a transformative, embodied journey.
This is not a retreat—it is a practice-rich, teaching-empowering immersion into the life force itself.
Both pathways follow the same core curriculum and practices, with the 75-hour training offering additional time to explore each subject in greater depth.
Alongside deeper study of pranayama, bandhas, mudras, anatomy and yogic philosophy, the extended training introduces Ayurveda and individual constitution, while providing further opportunities to develop the skills required to guide group classes, private sessions, and dedicated pranayama workshops.
Whether you choose 50 or 75 hours, you will be immersed in the practice, philosophy and teaching methodology of pranayama, developing a deeper relationship with the breath and the confidence to share its wisdom with others.

-
75-Hour Training
9 Days · 8 Nights
For those who wish to go beyond the foundations and immerse themselves more deeply in the study of pranayama.
The 75-hour extended training includes everything covered in the 50-hour pathway, with additional time dedicated to exploring the same practices, subjects and principles in greater depth.
Rather than introducing a completely different set of techniques, the extended training gives you more time to understand the practices you learn — from the precise application of bandhas and mudras to breath ratios, yogic anatomy, philosophy and the relationship between breath and the mind.
The additional study also introduces Ayurveda as a lens through which to explore individual constitution and understand how personal characteristics, needs and circumstances may inform the selection and adaptation of pranayama practices.
With additional teaching practice, you will develop the skills to guide not only group classes but also individual private sessions and longer workshops focused on breathing techniques.
You will have more time to ask questions, observe, reflect, refine your own practice and develop a more nuanced understanding of how pranayama can be taught to different people.
By the End of the 50-Hour Training, You Will…
