200 YTTC is the first level and 300 YTTC is the advanced course. To register your certificate with Yoga Alliance you must complete the 200 YTTC first.
You need basic English to comfortably attend our yoga course. At least 6 months of prior yoga practice is recommended, though beginners with a sincere intention are also welcome.
No worries — you have up to six months to complete the course at your own pace, with full access to recordings and study materials.
After certification, create an account on the Yoga Alliance website, follow their registration steps and upload your certificate. They verify with us and once approved you can pay the Yoga Alliance fee and register as RYT-200.
- All course videos are streamed through our online learning platform — play any module one by one and study at your own pace
- You also get 50 hours of live Zoom classes with full meeting credentials sent to your registered email
- We add every enrolled student to a private WhatsApp group so the teaching team can resolve doubts directly
The minimum live commitment is 25 days, after which live classes pause and students continue with self-paced study. You can return to live classes any time during your 1-year access.
Our online cohorts typically have around 20 to 40 students from across the world — small enough for personal attention, large enough for a rich shared community.
Surprisingly well — after a year of online teaching to 1,500+ students worldwide we have seen that the online format genuinely works for serious practice. You stay in the comfort of your home, practise on familiar mats, and the teaching depth is undiluted. The Zoom classes are interactive, with real-time alignment feedback, and the recorded modules let you revisit any concept.
A computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone with a stable internet connection is enough. A microphone helps for clearer Q&A and a webcam is helpful for alignment feedback during live classes.
Every live class is recorded, so a few days away from your studies are no problem. Resume whenever you can and complete the course within your six-month or one-year window.
All textbooks and manuals are provided as e-books inside your student portal. You do not need to buy anything extra; if a teacher recommends a specific book you may choose to purchase it on your own.
Yes — students who genuinely need assistance can reach out to our team directly and we will discuss flexible options on a case-by-case basis.
There are no refunds for online course fees once paid. Please review our schedule, programme and student feedback carefully before booking. If you cannot attend a particular month, you can postpone your live cohort to a future month at no cost.
You can register at any time. If you plan to start teaching yoga, the sooner you complete and certify the more confident you will be in your professional path.
We Follow
The 5000 Years Old Yoga Tradition of The Himalayan Masters
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.
