Sound Healing Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

The Sound Healing Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India is a 50-hour specialised programme at Adi Yogpeeth, in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. It is designed for people who want to learn how to offer sound healing to others, whether they are already teaching yoga or are drawn to sound work as a practice of their own.

The course runs for seven days and introduces the foundations of sound therapy, with a focus on singing bowls, mindful listening and the practical side of leading a sound healing session.

What to Expect

The training is built around learning by doing. You begin with the foundations of sound therapy, the ideas behind working with sound as a way of settling the body and mind. From there the course moves into singing bowls, how they are played, and how their tones are used in a session.

Mindful listening is a thread through the week. Sound healing depends as much on the quality of attention as on the instruments, so time is given to listening closely, both as a participant and as the person guiding others. The week then turns to practical sound healing sessions, where the aim is to leave with the confidence to hold a session of your own.

The programme is part of the specialised training offered at Adi Yogpeeth alongside other short teacher trainings, and it is rated 4.7 by 59 participants.

The Setting

Adi Yogpeeth is in Rishikesh, a town in Uttarakhand long associated with yoga and meditation. The training takes place here, in the setting where the school runs its yoga teacher trainings and retreats. Studying sound in a town known for contemplative practice gives the week a quiet, focused backdrop.

Before You Go

This is a short, specialised course, so it suits both yoga teachers wanting to add sound to their offerings and curious practitioners who want a structured introduction. The material describes it as covering foundations, so you do not need to arrive with prior experience of singing bowls.

If you are unsure whether this training or another programme at Adi Yogpeeth is the right fit, the school has a course advisor who can help you understand the differences between programmes.
