Yoga Teacher Training in India
for British Columbia Students

Vancouver and the rest of British Columbia have a famously outdoorsy, wellness-oriented culture, and many BC yoga teachers are drawn to mountains as a matter of course. Trading the Coast Mountains for the Himalayas, a residential training in Rishikesh is a natural extension of that same instinct -- with a lineage far older than any West Coast studio.

Why Rishikesh Instead of a Canadian Training

The Difference Between
Home and the Source

British Columbia already has a deep respect for nature and mindful living -- what it lacks is a centuries-old yogic tradition on the ground. Rishikesh offers BC practitioners the chance to study at the actual source, not just in a mountain-adjacent studio.

Please note: every course on this page is 100% residential and takes place only at our campuses in Rishikesh or Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, India. We do not run any in-person classes, workshops, or training in British Columbia (Vancouver) itself -- this page exists to help students from that region find and plan their trip to train with us in India.

🕉️
Trained Where Yoga Began
Rishikesh sits on the Ganges at the foot of the Himalayas and has been a center of yogic study for centuries -- not a studio converted for the occasion.
📜
Globally Recognized Certification
Yoga Vedanta Trust is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200 and RYS 300), the same international body Canadian studios already recognize.
💵
A Fraction of Canadian Training Cost
A residential 200-hour TTC here runs from $1,050 all-inclusive -- accommodation, three meals daily, and materials included. Comparable Canadian residential trainings routinely cost significantly more before travel.
🏡
100% Residential, Not Commuting
You live, eat, and practice on-site for the full course, rather than commuting between a rented room and a studio each day.

Questions Canadian Students Ask

What is the flight time from Vancouver to the training location?
Most routes from Vancouver connect once, commonly through Europe, the Gulf, or East Asia, before reaching Delhi -- roughly 15-17 hours of total flight time. We help coordinate the onward trip to Rishikesh from there.
Are there other Canadians training alongside BC students?
Yes -- Canadian students, including many from Ontario and BC, are consistently one of our largest groups, so BC students typically train alongside other Canadians as well as Americans, Europeans, and Australians.
Do I need a visa to do yoga teacher training in India as a Canadian citizen?
Yes. Canadian citizens need an Indian e-Tourist Visa, applied for entirely online. Attending a short-term yoga programme is an accepted purpose for this visa category.
Is my certification recognized back home in Canada?
Yes. Yoga Vedanta Trust is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200 and RYS 300), so graduates register as RYT 200 or RYT 300 with the same international body Canadian studios recognize.
Does training happen locally in my area, or only in India?
All residential training takes place only at our campuses in Rishikesh or Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, India. This page exists purely to help students from your area plan their trip to train with us in India.
