Student Reflections & Broader Perspectives
Students often describe TTCs in Rishikesh as deeply transformative:
“Yoga stopped being something I did, and became something I lived.”
“We became more than classmates—we became a family.”
However, outside voices on yoga forums urge mindful consideration:
Some caution that short, intensive trainings may not fully equip aspiring teachers:
“Intensives in India … I just don’t take those graduates very seriously.”
The Yoga Alliance credential, while providing perceived credibility, does not guarantee quality:
“YA is a money grab … They have no authority whatsoever.”
That said, many agree that if you’re aligned with the values, depth, and immersive experience—especially in the spiritual heart of yoga like Rishikesh—this path can be both empowering and transformative
Conclusion
Punyah Yoga’s 100‑Hour Teacher Training in Rishikesh presents a compelling blend of tradition, transformation, and accessibility. It’s a perfect choice for seekers wanting to connect deeply with their practice, explore yogic lifestyles, and lay a foundation for further study.
