Discover the Sister Science of Yoga
Ayurveda is the world’s oldest holistic healing system — the sister science of Yoga. Together, Yoga and ayurveda yoga teacher training form a complete path for physical health, mental clarity and spiritual awakening. Both share the same philosophical roots in the Vedas and work in deep harmony to restore the body’s natural balance.
Our 100 Hour Ayurveda Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh is an introductory ayurveda yoga teacher training India combining classical yoga practice with the foundational principles of Ayurveda — the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the five elements, Prakriti analysis, Ayurvedic diet, daily routines (Dinacharya), seasonal living (Ritucharya) and herbal therapies for holistic wellbeing. Ready for the next level? Continue to our 200-hour ayurveda yoga teacher training. Want a shorter taste? Try our 7-day basic ayurveda course. Or pair with a Bali wellness experience at our ayurveda retreat in Bali.
Overview Of 100 Hour Ayurveda Yoga
When you enrol in our introductory Ayurveda Yoga Teacher Training, our experienced masters guide you through the foundations of Ayurveda — the three doshas, five elements, Prakriti (constitution), Vikriti (imbalance), Ayurvedic diet and daily routines — alongside classical yoga practice.
We guide students into a proper understanding of how Yoga and Ayurveda work together. Practical sessions cover dosha analysis, herbal therapies, Panchakarma overview, yogic diet planning, and the use of yoga asanas, pranayama and meditation as therapeutic tools for each constitution.
Upon successful completion you receive a certificate of excellence that helps you pursue advanced Ayurveda training and apply these techniques in your personal life and teaching practice.
Ayurveda is not just medicine for the body — it is wisdom for the whole life. When you understand your dosha, you understand yourself, and yoga becomes a precise tool for healing. — Yogi Vishnu
Course Hour Breakdown
The 100 hour Ayurveda curriculum introduces both traditions in a compact form — the core pillars of yoga practice together with the essentials of Ayurveda: the doshas, daily routine and natural wellbeing. It is a complete, if condensed, foundation and the base for our 200 hour Ayurveda program.
Each subject is taught daily through the immersion, so you return to every topic every day rather than moving on after one. This repetition — the traditional gurukul method — is what makes 100 hours of genuine immersion in Rishikesh noticeably different from the same hours spread across weekends at home.
Include Not Include - Samadhi Yoga Ashram
Schedule - 100 Hour Yoga TTC
The daily routine of a 100 Hour Yoga Teacher has been made in such a way that there is an inclusion of physical practice, theory, and self-observation. There is a practice of silence meditation along with pranayama which is later followed by energizing asana practice to get the body up and about. Theory classes about the philosophy of yoga, ways of teaching, anatomy of yoga, and others will take place and practical lessons of helping into asana dissection and reconstruction will extend throughout the day. One more yoga with the aim of relaxation, a talk and meditation will be included in the evenings with an aim of facilitating community and development.

The Samadhi Difference
In Rishikesh — the original land of yogis, sages and Himalayan masters
Daily Ganga aarti, holy river steps from your room at Laxman Jhula
Surrounded by Himalayan peaks — a naturally meditative environment
Mauna mornings, satsang, havan, kirtan — real Indian ashram culture
Three fresh sattvic meals daily — Ayurvedic spices, ghee, dal-roti-sabzi
Lakshman Jhula bridge, Vashishth Cave, Neelkanth Mahadev temple — all within reach of the ashram on foot or by short drive
Teachers with 20+ years in Himalayan tradition — daily sadhana from 4am, not weekend yoga certifications.
Mauna, satsang, fire yagna, Ganga aarti — live yoga as a lifestyle, not a syllabus.
Personal hands-on alignment, your name remembered, every doubt answered. No assembly-line teaching.
Right on the holy river in Laxman Jhula — not 20km away like many schools that claim "Rishikesh".
Chakra sadhana, Kriya Yoga, Tantric Pranayama & Mantra-Shaktipata taught from a living Himalayan tradition — not a re-packaged studio module.
Stay, sattvic meals, airport pickup, study material & complimentary massage — all in.

We Follow
Samadhi Yoga Ashram follows the teachings of generations of Himalayan masters and saints who lived in the cave hermitages of the Himalayas. The teaching lineage stretches back nearly 5,000 years and includes Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and his student Swami Veda Bharati. This tradition was practiced for centuries without a single name — we refer to it simply as the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters.
Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi, the founder of Samadhi Yoga Ashram, is a student of Swami Veda Bharati — who was, in turn, a student of Swami Rama. Through this unbroken teacher-student chain, the practical methods of pranayama, meditation, kriya and yoga philosophy have been transmitted from one generation to the next without being diluted by trend.
Although yoga has roots in Hindu culture, it is not a religion. The Himalayan path is open to anyone — regardless of religion, language or nationality. What it asks of you is sincerity, regularity, and willingness to learn from a teacher. The classical teacher-student relationship is still the foundation of how we work.
The ashram teaches the full eight-limbed path of yoga — including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga. A central instruction of the Himalayan tradition is "to be free of fear, become aware of the reality within." The work is practical, daily, and grounded — not abstract, not religious, not performative.

The Ayurveda Yoga course was unlike any yoga training I had attended before. Learning my dosha and how to design my daily routine and diet around it has completely changed how I live. The teachers spoke from their own experience — not from books.

I came expecting a yoga retreat and left with a complete framework for holistic living. Tridosha, Prakriti analysis and the Ayurvedic diet were taught with such clarity. Yogi Vishnu’s lineage and authenticity are the real thing — this is Ayurveda taught the traditional Himalayan way.

As an Indian seeker, this course returned me to the roots of our own tantric tradition. Chakra meditation, mantra and the kriya yoga practices for Mooladhara to Sahasrara were taught with deep reverence. Studying on the banks of the Ganga made every kriya feel sacred.

Bhramari, Bhastrika, Nadi-Shodhanam combined with daily Ayurvedic meals and dosha-aligned routines shifted my whole nervous system. After 12 days I left calmer, clearer and more centred than I have ever been. This is healing as much as it is yoga — profound and authentic.

FAQs - 100 Hour Ayurveda Yoga TTC
To prepare yourself, keep these things in mind:
Yes. Our experienced teachers heal and elevate you in such a way that you become inspired to share what you have received. A true yoga teacher first teaches their own self — after this course you will be certified as a 100-hour yoga teacher and can register with Yoga Alliance USA or Yoga Alliance Professional.
Before teaching, you need a profound self-practice and training from an authentic yoga school. It is not about how long, but how sincerely you practise. At least 2 to 3 years of regular practice gives you a good foundation. Yoga Alliance also recommends 2 years.
Ayurveda is the world’s oldest holistic system of medicine — literally the “science of life.” Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences sharing common roots in the Vedas. Where Yoga focuses on the union of mind, body and spirit, Ayurveda provides the lifestyle framework — diet, daily routine, herbs and seasonal living — that lets yoga practice flourish.
Ayurveda describes three biological energies: Vata (air + space — movement), Pitta (fire + water — transformation) and Kapha (earth + water — structure). Each person has a unique constitution (Prakriti) made of all three in different proportions, and understanding your dosha helps you choose the right diet, lifestyle and yoga practice.
No previous experience is required — this is an introductory course suitable for sincere beginners as well as practising yogis who want to add Ayurveda to their toolkit. An open mind, willingness to follow the daily schedule and a desire to learn are the only real prerequisites.
Yes. The Ayurveda Nutrition module covers the nature of food, the six tastes (Shad Rasa) and their properties, sattvic diet principles, and how to choose food appropriate to your dosha and the season. Our kitchen serves sattvic Ayurvedic meals throughout the course, so you live the teachings every day.
The 100-hour basic yoga course does not qualify you as a Yoga Alliance registered teacher on its own — for that you need a 200-hour TTC. However, you are welcome to continue with our 100 Hour YTTC in any month for an additional 100 hours to complete a 200 Hour registered teacher training. Even at 100 hours, you can confidently teach simple practices like joint movements, basic asana, pranayama and meditation.
