Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 100-Hour and 200-Hour meditation course?
The 100-Hour course is a foundational immersion for beginners or those seeking personal depth. The 200-Hour course is our comprehensive professional program, designed for those who want to teach meditation with mastery. It includes more advanced techniques, in-depth philosophy, and significantly more teaching practicum.
Is this 200-Hour course the same as a 200-Hour Yoga TTC?
No. A 200-Hour Yoga TTC focuses primarily on Asana (physical postures). This 200-Hour Meditation TTC is a specialized, in-depth program that focuses entirely on meditation, pranayama, and the specific philosophy and science of the mind.
Can I register with Yoga Alliance after this course?
Yes. This course is certified under Yoga Alliance YACEP (Continuing Education). If you are already an RYT-200, you can add these 200 hours to your YACEP credits. If you are not, you will still receive a 200-Hour Meditation Master certificate from Raj Yoga Rishikesh, a globally recognized school.
