Mimamsa Yogshala
Study yoga with teaching in mind
Rishikesh is often approached as a place for short pauses and retreats, but Mimamsa Yogshala is oriented toward a more sustained commitment: its featured program is a 200-hour yoga teacher training. Based at New Krishna Cottage on Vinyasa Marg in Jonk Village, Swargashram, near Ramjhula, it gives students a foothold in the city's yoga-school scene while they work through a defined course curriculum. The emphasis is educational rather than that of an all-purpose wellness break, making it a better fit for people considering teaching or wanting a concentrated period of study. The school's course page outlines the training; practical details such as daily timings, accommodation arrangements, meals, and current fees should be confirmed before committing. Come with curiosity about yoga as a discipline, and check that the course dates and expectations match your plans.
Highlights
- A dedicated 200-hour yoga teacher-training pathway
