We are devoted to the traditional path of Hatha Yoga, embracing its essence and ancient wisdom. Occasionally, in harmony with the flow of the class, we gently introduce elements from the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, allowing you to explore different dimensions of your practice.

We place great emphasis on internal awareness and alignment. As you delve into the world of asanas, you will not only master the postures but also learn to create your own sequences and share the gift of yoga with others. We also embrace the power of subtle energy practices, pranayama, and meditation. These practices serve as gateways to deeper self-discovery and inner transformation. Through these ancient techniques, you will uncover the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit, fostering a harmonious balance within.

The courses we run are as interactive and practical as possible. We provide plenty of opportunities for teaching practice, including two practical exams with feedback from peers and tutors to help you develop as a teacher.

Absolutely! Our programs are designed to help you reach your full potential, whether you’re just starting out or already an experienced yogi. We believe that there’s a high demand for well-trained yoga teachers, and we’re here to help you become one.

Our 200YTT courses warmly welcome all, transcending age or level of yoga practice. We welcome everyone who is curious and passionate about exploring the world of yoga. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been practicing for years, our classes and programs are designed to help you deepen your understanding and take your practice to new heights. We believe that you’re good enough, no matter what, and many of our graduates have chosen to take a positive new direction in their lives with a new outlook on their abilities. Join us and discover the transformative power of yoga!

We’re honest, open, generous, non-invasive, and compassionate. We understand that yoga is a long, colourful process in the path of life, and we believe that our instructors teach with soul, injecting personal insight and experience into their classes. We respect different beliefs and points of view and empower our trainees with understanding, encouraging them to find their own yoga style and practice.

Our courses are currently only available in English. Having at least an intermediate understanding of both spoken and written English is important for keeping up with the lessons and passing the final certification exam. Please reach out to us if you feel unsure about your English level.

We welcome up to 30 students per group.

We do provide yoga mats to our students. We understand that everyone has their own preferences so you are welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer.

Most of our students use the time after classes to rest and prepare for the next day. However, you’ll get 2 days off throughout the training that can be used to explore the island. These days may or may not fall on the weekends.

There are two ways to reach Rishikesh, depending on where you arrive:

• NEW DELHI AIRPORT: We can arrange a taxi from New Delhi International Airport to the ashram at your expense, which will approximately cost US$60-65 and take around 5 hours with a short break en route. If you wish to book, you will need to contact us and provide your flight details in the enrollment form.

• DEHRADUN AIRPORT: Alternatively, you can take a connecting flight from New Delhi (or any international airport you are landing at) to Dehradun, which is the closest domestic airport to Rishikesh. We can arrange a taxi from the airport to the ashram at your expense, costing approximately US$18-20.

The taxi driver will know where to come. If you prefer to book a taxi on your own, that’s also ok. In that case, please contact us, and we will share the contact information of one of our team members who will coordinate with you, guide you through the route, and share the location on Google Maps.

Certainly! You have the flexibility to arrive in Rishikesh before the training begins or stay longer after it ends. Simply book an extra night for a small additional fee, and enjoy the convenience of meals included. To secure your spot, please inform us in advance, as availability may vary. Your comfort and convenience are important to us, and we’re here to make your stay with us truly remarkable.

In the spirit of self-sufficiency and mindfulness, we encourage all students to take care of their own laundry. However, we understand that there might be valid reasons preventing you from doing so. In such cases, feel free to approach our reception for laundry service, available at a reasonable cost per piece. Our aim is to support you on your journey while respecting your individual needs.

We welcome everyone. However, accommodation for male students is dependent on the number of male students participating in the course at any given month. In case there are no other male students, we require an individual male student to book a private room.

If you have a male friend or partner who will be joining the course with you, we are pleased to offer shared room options and a bring-a-friend discount of $100 each. We hope this helps and we look forward to having you both at our yoga school.

We wish we could cover everything, but unfortunately, visa fees, airplane tickets, and PCR tests (if required) are not included in the price. But we’re happy to help you with any information you may need to make your travel arrangements.
