Patanjali International Yoga Foundation (PIYF) Yoga Certification That Respects Tradition
At Patanjali Yoga Ashram (PIYF), we believe that yoga is not just a skillâitâs a way of life. And if youâre feeling called to deepen your journey, to teach, or simply to understand yourself more fully through ancient yogic wisdom, then youâll find that our training certifications offer more than just credentialsâthey offer transformation.
Our certification programs are designed for sincere seekersâfrom beginners who are just stepping onto the path to advanced practitioners looking to refine their understanding and teaching.
Certified Yoga Teacher Trainings â 200, 300 & 500 Hours
Patanjali Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh offers internationally recognized teacher training programs that are registered with Yoga Alliance International.
These certifications are a mark of global credibility, allowing you to share your practice with confidenceâwhether you're teaching in your hometown or halfway across the world.
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
This course is where the inner shift often begins. Itâs the full step into yogic lifeâcovering traditional Hatha Yoga, pranayama (breathwork), meditation, mantra chanting, philosophy, anatomy, and lifestyle. Many who join for the certificate leave with something far more valuable: clarity.
300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
This advanced course is for those who have already completed the 200-hour training and are ready to go deeper. Youâll explore subtle anatomy, chakras, kriyas, yoga psychology, and begin to understand the finer layers of the mind and energy. Teaching becomes more intuitive, more connected.
500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
This is our most intensive trainingâbringing together the teachings of the 200- and 300-hour levels into a deeply immersive experience. It is for those who feel yoga is no longer something they âdo,â but who they are. This course supports not just teaching, but lifelong personal practice.
Yoga Therapy & Yoga Meditation Certification â by PIYF
In addition to teacher trainings, we also offer specialized programs in Yoga Therapy and Yoga Meditation, certified directly by Patanjali International Yoga Foundation (PIYF).
These courses are designed for people who want to explore yoga beyond the matâwho want to understand its therapeutic power for the body, mind, and nervous system.
Our Yoga Therapy courses are rooted in Ayurvedic and yogic principles and are suitable for health professionals, yoga teachers, and anyone interested in healing. The Meditation course goes beyond technique, teaching the art of inner observation and stillnessâaligned with the wisdom of Patanjaliâs Yoga Sutras.

Aadi Yogi Lord SHIVA
Shiva is The Highest Auspicious Energy of the Universe. He is the eternal one who gave birth to himself, he has no begining or end. He knows all. He is pure consciousness, the creator of time, all-powerful, all-knowing.
Sage Patanjali
Patanjali describes the third limb of yoga, which is the asana, as "Sthiram, Sukham Asanam" - Mean asana the position should be comfortable and stable, that is all the asana is about. Because "comfort" is such a misused word, maybe a closer word to "sukha" in English would be "ease."
Patanjali Systems
During our trainings we follow the techniques, which are described in Sanskrit sources and textbooks. Following GURUKUL training system with the central point of constant deep connection of the Master and students.
