Hi everyone! I just got back from Tapovan and wanted to share some 2026 updates for anyone heading to the "Yoga Capital." The biggest shift this year is the move toward "Somatic Discipline"studios are looking for teachers who can actually handle advanced biomechanics.
If youre planning your trip, here is the current 2026 roadmap:
The Sabbatical: If you only have two weeks, the 100 hour yoga teacher training Rishikesh is the go-to intensive right now. It covers the foundation without the month-long commitment.
The Career Entry: For professional certification, the 200 hour yoga teacher training remains the industry standard, but make sure your school includes authentic ashtanga yoga classes; the Mysore-style discipline is highly valued in 2026.
