200-Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
Explore the untapped Kundalini Energy by different Yogic Practices and experience the Kundalini awakening. Over twenty-four days on the banks of the Ganga, complete your full RYT-200 certification while going deep into Steps 1 and 2 of our Kundalini method — discovering and awakening every one of your seven main chakras.
What Is the 200-Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC?
The 200-Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) in Rishikesh is our complete, Yoga Alliance USA RYS-200 registered certification, built around chakra activation, classical Kundalini kriya and rhythmic breathwork. Kundalini, Prana and Energy are, at heart, the same idea seen through three lenses — Tantra, Raja and Hatha yoga, and the practical world — and this course covers Steps 1 and 2 of our Kundalini method: discovering and awakening your chakras.
At Siddhant School of Yoga, the 200-hour Kundalini yoga TTC runs over 24 immersive days and is taught personally by Acharya Siddhant. The course covers chakra science, Kundalini kriya, pranayama, Ashtanga Vinyasa, meditation, mantra chanting, yogic anatomy, basic Ayurveda and teaching methodology, combined with residential ashram living and three vegetarian meals a day. Batches stay small, with 10 to 15 students, and the course is suitable for complete beginners through advanced students.
Graduates of this course receive a Yoga Alliance USA RYS-200 certificate and leave with a strong, confident personal practice and the skills to teach. Many students choose to continue on to our 300-Hour Advanced Kundalini TTC, going on to balance their chakras and approach Kundalini itself.
200-Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC in Rishikesh — Quick Facts
“Awakening kundalini energy in Rishikesh's sacred foothills”
Kundalini Is Your Hidden Energy
Kundalini simply means energy — the most potent, practical system in the yogic path, often called the mother of all yoga. Taught traditionally in four steps (discover, awaken, balance, then awaken Kundalini itself), this 200-hour course covers steps one and two in full: discovering and awakening every one of your chakras.
It is our complete Yoga Alliance USA RYS-200 Kundalini TTC at Siddhant School of Yoga in Rishikesh, building real understanding of chakra and Kundalini practice to help you handle life's challenges more wisely — and to teach others to do the same.
To awaken your Kundalini energy, you must awaken your chakras. There are said to be 114 chakras in the body — out of them, these 7 are the most important:
Muladhara Chakra
By awakening your Muladhara Chakra, you can balance your food, sex, sleep and fear.
Swadhisthana Chakra
By awakening your Swadhisthana Chakra, you can enhance your professional qualities.
Manipura Chakra
By awakening your Manipura Chakra, you can strengthen your willpower and committed attitude.
Anahata Chakra
By awakening your Anahata Chakra, you can balance your feelings and emotions.
Vishuddha Chakra
By awakening your Vishuddha Chakra, you can sharpen your clarity, understanding and communication skills.
Ajna Chakra
By awakening your Ajna Chakra, you can develop your self-commanding power.
Sahasrara Chakra
By awakening your Sahasrara Chakra, you can connect with pure consciousness and experience deep inner peace.
“Kundalini is a secret and sacred word — in practice, it simply means energy: the hidden power already within you, waiting to rise.”
Living at Siddhant School of Yoga in Rishikesh
There is something worth saying plainly, right at the start: these twenty-four days will ask something of you. This is not a retreat with a little breathwork bolted on, and we would rather you knew that before you booked than felt misled once you arrived. It is a fair trade, though. Here is both sides of it.
Early Mornings
Sadhana begins at 5:30 AM, and your full attention stays with it through the day.
Letting Habits Go
A willingness to set aside caffeine, distractions and old routines, for the full 24 days.
Turning Inward
Ready to sit with yourself in meditation, rather than reach for a distraction.
A Real Energetic Shift
Chakra work and kundalini kriya, deepened across 24 days, that create change you can actually feel.
Meeting Yourself Again
The stillness and self-awareness most people never make time for.
A Full Teaching Certification
Real tools for calm, clarity and emotional balance — plus a Yoga Alliance RYT-200 credential you carry home.
This training was never about becoming someone new. It is about awakening the energy that was quietly already within you.

Excursions & Cultural Life
A real education never stops at the edge of the yoga hall. Woven through the 24 days of your 200-hour chakra awakening journey is a short excursion trip and a handful of small rituals that tie your practice to the living culture all around you — for many students, these turn out to be the memories they hold onto longest.
01 · At DuskThe Evening Ganga Aarti
As dusk falls, walk down to the Ganges for the aarti — priests circle great brass lamps and the whole bank glows amber against the dark. Many students describe it as the first time in years they felt completely still.
02 · On the ExcursionWaterfall Treks
A short trek climbs to the waterfalls hidden in the hills above Rishikesh — cold water, green shade and the best kind of tired.
03 · Some MorningsChakra Awakening on the Ganges Ghat
Some sessions leave the yoga hall entirely — chakra meditation and pranayama right on the riverbank, with the Ganges moving past as your soundtrack.
04 · In SilenceHimalayan Cave Meditation
A short trip takes you to sacred caves in the foothills, where sages once sat in silence for centuries. Meditating inside, in the cool and the dark, is a quiet that stays with you long after you've left.
05 · Living HistoryHistoric Temples
A guided visit to the old temples of Rishikesh — riverside shrines and sacred sites where the tradition you study in class has been practiced without pause for centuries.
06 · Between Practice DaysNature Walks & Sacred Sites
Gentle walks into the hills and slow time by the sacred river — none of it compulsory, none of it rushed.
