The Training
200-Hour Multi-Style Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga Alliance certified
Placeholder copy. This training is structured in three connected parts, so that foundational study happens before arrival, deep practice happens in residence at the ashram, and teaching skill is consolidated afterwards through supervised practice.
Placeholder copy. Final course description will replace this paragraph. It will cover the teaching approach, daily rhythm of practice, and the standard of certification awarded on completion.
- Step One
Pre-Course
Online

Why Dol Ashram
A place of practice, not a retreat resort
An authentic Himalayan setting
Placeholder copy. Set in the forested Kumaon hills near Almora, at altitude, surrounded by pine and silence — the same Himalayan foothills that draw seekers to Rishikesh, far from its crowds.
Lodging and boarding of a high standard
Placeholder copy. Clean, warm rooms, satvik meals prepared on site, and well-kept practice halls, so that attention stays on study rather than logistics.
Direct lineage-based teaching
Placeholder copy. Teaching carried within the Udasin lineage of the ashram, rooted in scripture and sustained practice rather than trend.
A distraction-free immersion
Placeholder copy. A residential rhythm of practice, study, seva and rest, held by the daily life of a working ashram — home to the world's largest Shri Yantra.
