Questions & Answers

What kind of programs do you offer at Haritha?

We offer sound-healing teacher trainings, Ayurveda retreats, meditation retreats, Reiki and crystal-healing certifications, plus short wellness retreats — both residential and non-residential.

Is the training suitable for beginners?

Yes. Our foundation level welcomes complete beginners. The curriculum builds gradually — from theory and self-practice to full group sessions — so nothing is assumed and nothing is rushed.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. Selected modules and healing sessions are available online. However, teacher trainings are residential-first so that the transmission happens in person, with live bowls and in nature.

How do I apply or book a session?

You can use the Online Registration or Book Now links at the top of the page, reach us on WhatsApp, or write to us using the enquiry form on the contact page. Our team responds within a working day.

Do I need any prior experience to join the Sound Healing course?

No. The course starts at foundations and moves carefully. If you have practised before, you'll recognise layers — if not, you'll build them gently. Most students arrive with no formal training.

Do I need to bring my own bowls or instruments?

No — we provide singing bowls, tuning forks, mallets, cushions and all course materials. Many students choose to buy a personal bowl in town during the course; we can help you pick one from a trusted local shop.

What does a typical day at the course look like?

Mornings begin with pranayama and meditation, followed by a sattvic breakfast. The day flows through theory classes, practical sessions, Ayurveda workshops, a gentle evening practice, Ganga aarti, and a light dinner — with silence after 9 pm.

How many students are in each cohort?

Cohorts are intentionally small — typically twelve students or fewer. This is so every hand gets held, every question gets answered, and the practice rooms stay calm.

In what language are the courses taught?

All teacher trainings and group sessions are taught in English. Sanskrit terms are used where they belong, with translation. Hindi is spoken on campus for daily life.

Are meals included in the course fee?

Yes. Three sattvic meals plus chai (twice daily) are included for residential students. Meals are vegetarian by tradition; we accommodate vegan, gluten-free and most allergies — just let us know in advance.

What is the accommodation like?

Shared twin-room is the default — clean, simple, with hot water and Wi-Fi. Private single rooms and premium suites are available for an upgrade fee. The campus is residential and walkable to the Ganga.

Can I extend my stay before or after the course?

Yes. Many students arrive a few days early or stay on at the end. We offer an extra-day residency rate. Please let us know in advance so we can hold your room.

What should I pack and is there a dress code?

Comfortable clothes you can move in, a warm layer for evenings (Rishikesh nights are cool), modest attire for temple visits, a notebook and a water bottle. Yoga mats and props are provided.

How do I travel from the airport to Haritha International Sound Healing?

The closest airport is Dehradun's Jolly Grant (DED) — about 45 minutes by road. We can arrange a pre-paid pickup if you share your flight details in advance. From Delhi, the easiest options are a domestic flight to Dehradun or an overnight train to Rishikesh.

Do you offer airport pickup?

Yes — pickup from Dehradun (DED) is included for most teacher training programs. Pickup from Delhi (DEL) is available as a paid upgrade. See our How to Reach page for full details.

When is the best time to visit Rishikesh?

September through April is the most comfortable — clear skies, cool air, full of birdlife. May and June are warmer but still beautiful. We recommend avoiding mid-July through August due to heavier monsoon rain.

Do I need a visa to come to India?

Most international students will need an Indian visa. The Tourist e-Visa is the simplest route for short courses; longer stays may need a regular Tourist Visa. We can provide an admission letter for visa support — write to us once you've registered.

Are the certifications internationally recognised?

Yes. We are Yoga Alliance USA registered, ICAHP accredited and ISO 9001:2015 certified. On completion, students receive a YACEP-valid, internationally recognised certification.

What certification will I receive after the course?

Graduates of the Sound Healing Teacher Training receive a printed certificate of completion plus a digital copy. The certificate carries our Yoga Alliance and ICAHP credentials so you can teach worldwide.

Can I use this certification to teach in my home country?

Yes. Our certifications are accepted across most countries that recognise Yoga Alliance and ICAHP credentials. Some regions (e.g. parts of the EU and US healthcare contexts) have additional local registrations — we'll guide you on what's needed.
