The experience I had at Yogkulam was indescribable, the month spent there was just amazing and so familiar. Everybody made us so comfortable from day one, we got heads up about cultural differences and all the good tips on where to find what we needed. Do not worry as a woman to come to Rishikesh and to this school cause it’s all very safe and comfy. You feel so much at home in a country so culturally rich and different and the team make so much effort in delivering great teachings, delicious food, super service and a lot of extra curriculum activities to do. We had Bollywood movie night, Bollywood dance class, sound healing session, astrology session, emotional blockage etc.. so you really get a well rounded experience in the holistic world. Classes were all mind blowing, the teachers are so knowledgeable, my favorite topics were alignment adjustment but also learning about functional anatomy in yin yoga so I understood why my body cannot do certain poses and the philosophy was put in such an easy way that I can now apply it in my daily life. Thanks to the yogkulam family who made my experience beyond expectation!!!

This is the traditional form of yoga that helps to control the mind and body through various holistic techniques. This type of yoga is involved performing poses that are slow or medium and requires the individual to hold the pose for a long time. It helps you to prepare for deep meditation and helps to improve your health and increases happy thoughts.
Hatha in Sanskrit means pressure or forceful. That's why hatha yoga means such a yoga posture in which physical force and physical pressure are applied. It can be understood in this way, the yoga in which there is a balance of both body and mind is called hatha yoga. Under this yoga style, pranayama breathing, chanting and yoga poses done with hands are called mudras. There are mainly such poses in Hatha Yoga, in which one does not remain in the same posture for a long time, in this, the postures are changed quickly. The best example of this is Surya Namaskar. In this, all the steps are done quickly, no time is spent in the postures.
The Astanga Vinyasa yoga style created in the 20th century by Krishna Pattabhi is a modern form of the classical art of yoga. This style of yoga is linked with movements called vinyasa, which involves body movements and simultaneous breathing. It is a great form to increase flexibility.
The style is propagated by Pattabhi Jois, who learnt it from his teacher "Tirumalai Krishnamacharya". To expand it, Jois started his own Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in the year 1948. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an energetic style which works by getting breath synchronising with movements. Every single asana of the series is directly linked with flowing movements or Vinyasa. The style which is in current teaching is known as the "Mysore Style" as it originally originated in Mysore. It further gives rise to various other styles of Power Yoga.
Pranayama is the practice of inhaling and exhaling breath regulation. Pranayama is derived from the Sanskrit word “Parna” and “Yama” which means life energy and control. You intentionally breathe in and breathe out air to achieve the benefits of Pranayama.
The word Pranayama is made up of Prana + Ayama. This means, controlling your breath and the expansion of breath is called Pranayama. The flow of life force in our body gives us life force. Pranayama is the easiest way to keep our bodies alive and our minds strong. Through pranayama, we understand the depth and seriousness of yoga and we learn to control our breath. Controlling the breath depends on our Prana. Pranayama is one of the eight limbs of yoga. The eight limbs of yoga are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
This propagates the idea of yoga as a way of thinking that benefits from rehearses. The yoga philosophy or the way of thinking about yoga helps you achieve harmony and tranquillity in life and brings unending joy, physical and mental stability, and great thinking power. This course helps you to understand the reasonings for yoga.
Maharishi Patanjali is the founder of Yoga philosophy. Yoga philosophy is one of the six theistic philosophies (Shad Darshanas). The first book of this philosophy is the Yoga Sutras. Yoga philosophy is also known as Seshvara Sankhya or Theistic Sankhya. Because it accepts almost all the beliefs of Sankhya in relation to life and the world. Also, it accepts the existence of God. In yoga philosophy, God is described as a special power who remains unaffected by tribulation, karma, result, ideal, culture, etc. Its function is not to provide liberation, but only to remove obstacles from the path of the seeker. The Bhagavad Gita is also called Yoga Shastra i.e. the manual of Yoga.
While performing certain asanas, you might feel stress on your muscles. Don't worry if you feel so because it is normal. Wear and Tear on joints and muscles while getting into the practice of yoga is not a big. No matter you're a beginner or experienced, you can experience some sudden or sharp pain in a particular pose. This can sometimes leads to injury. Don't get scared! To avoid risk of injuries and pain, Alignment classes are organised.
So, what exactly an alignment class is? In an Alignment class, you will learn the precise and ideal way to perform any given pose so that you can get maximum benefits of it and minimize the risk of injury. It normalize the use of props and modifications during yoga asanas. When you get to know alignment, then you can make any pose work for you.
The six inward cleanings and purging practice that brings in the benefits of a rich experience in yoga is called Shatkarma. It is a magnificent practice that addresses different parts of the body like the sensory system, the stomach, the circulatory system, the respiratory system, etc. This practice makes the yoga experience profound and rich.
The origin of the word Shatkarma is from the combination of these two words "Shat" and "Karma". In this, Shat means six and Karma means actions. Thus Shatkarma means 'six actions'. Here Shatkarma refers to the six special actions through which the body is purified. In Hatha Yoga, these six types of purification actions are called Shatkarma. Maharishi Gherand has described six Shatkarmas as the first part of Yoga in the Gherand Samhita. They believe that without the practice of Shatkarma, no seeker can achieve success in the path of Yoga. First of all purification of the body is necessary. Without purification of the body, it is difficult for the seeker to move forward in following other parts of yoga. That's why Maharishi Gherand has accepted Shatkarma as the first part of Yoga.
The anatomy and physiology of yoga are related to the medical benefits of this ancient art on the muscles, bones, and the entire anatomy of the individual. The extraordinary yoga poses that are focused on the various life structures and restrictions of the body are considered here.
Anatomy is a branch of science dealing with the bodily structure of a living being. You will get to know a complete understanding of the inner structure and the movements associated with each pose. It revolves around the layers of the body, mind, and energies flowing in the body. In simple words, yoga anatomy teaches you everything in relation to body organs, tissues, muscles, and so on. Yoga Physiology is that branch that explains the functions of organisms. It makes you understand the basic functioning of the cell and living beings at the molecular level. In simple words, Physiology is about learning yoga asanas, breathing techniques, and more.
The art of meditation forms an integral part of the course. Meditation involves calming the entire body and mind of the individual. The course each day is challenging and requires practicing new skills. Meditation helps to stay stress-free and acquire those skills to the best of one's capabilities.
Meditation is a way through which you can come out of your stressful life and improve your lifestyle. Because in today's time people mostly go through mental illness due to which their daily routine gets disturbed. People associated with yoga are most aware of this mindfulness practice because they do not forget to include it in their daily routine. Therefore, listening to your breath or listening to the sound of birds clearly while in the posture of dhyana is meditation, but when you do not experience anything else while in this posture, then you are in the right state of meditation.

The closest and most convenient airport to fly to is New Delhi. Cheap hotels can be found in Delhi (Main Bazaar, Paharganj area) for $10~20.

Hatha Yoga & Ashtanga Vinyasa
Born in the lap of the Holy Ganga, at the feet of the Bhootnath Shiva Temple, amidst the forests of the Himalayas, Dhirendra reveals himself as a nature lover and spiritual seeker. Having started his schooling at the tender age of 5, from one of the oldest, most iconic and traditional schools of Rishikesh, Dhirendra believes he was drawn to Yoga by a mystical force as he practiced asanas during the physical education lessons in school. He began to live the yogic way of life from that early age and embraced spirituality as his routines began with worshipping Lord Shiva and the Holy Ganga and continued with practising asanas, eating satvik food and attending music lessons. It was under the able guidance of his Guru Narender Gusain that he was able to leave all his vices and practice Yoga religiously. His dedication was such that there were times that he would practice till his body was sore, and it was around this time that he realized that the external appreciation and praise were pointless and the true meaning of Yoga was the alignment of the body, mind and soul, being able to appreciate himself from within. The next part of his training came under Guru Nalin Sharma, under whom he learned Yogic Philosophy and spiritual growth and finally under Guru Roshan Singh, Dhirendra underwent lessons on personal growth. When his three Gurus thought he was ready, Dhirendra started the Yoga school with one goal - helping other seekers on their yogic journey to explore their full potential.

For her Yin Yoga practice she takes inspiration from Sarah Powers, with whom she did a course in London; and Paul Grilley. Her classes are focused to release the blockages from the body, both mental and physical. In her cueing, you can find many anatomical as psychological and spiritual aspects. She always puts great emphasis on breathing techniques during the class and meditation, both before and after the practice. Since her passion for music and naturopathy, she also likes to add mantra chanting, sound healing and aromatherapy in her classes. Her favourite motto is "Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end."

Yogkulam means family. They have been my family during this month of September. I have to say that this school is run from the heart, with highly qualified teachers, where I have learned from their experience and wisdom. With love and affection they have been aware of all our concerns and have taken great care of us. They are serious and professional, wanting to transmit yoga in the best way. And the views from the school are amazing. Al the best 😘

Yogkulam truly is a yoga family. Very quickly we became like a family, sharing thoughts, ideas, dreams and cultural exchange. It was such a humbling experience, the teachers were great, overall the course syllabus is very complete. I learned so much about the lifelong journey that yoga represents. It was challenging everyday but there Is nothing that I regret coming to yogkulam. The food everyday was so delicious and nutritious, Sunil really took care of us. It was such a fresh and fun training because the teachers are young and very knowledgeable. Special thanks to Amitji and Jituji, our asana and theory teachers, and my dear friends!

I recently completed my 200 hour online teacher training with Rishikesh yogkulam and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to undertake a teacher training course. Don't look any further! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, and are always available to answer any question. I loved the holistic approach to the curriculum with Hatha Asana, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Pranayama, and Meditation training. This holistic approach to teacher training helped me develop a wider perspective and learn how each is interconnected. Thank you Rishikesh yogkulam :)

What a phenomenal month-long journey to the self with these guys! Rishikesh Yogkulam went above and beyond my expectations for a TTC. All of the teachers are very relatable and extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. Going into the experience, I wanted to be able to take away as much information as I could to pass along to my future yoga students. This program really prepares you with all the tools you need and gives you the confidence you need to be an amazing yoga teacher. Thank you for sharing your culture and love of yoga with me. Rishikesh Yogkulam is an unforgettable experience. Thank you.

Wow!!! Having completed many courses in my life I left Yogkulam feeling inspired and wanting to learn more. The passion of ancient yogic knowledge oozes from the teachers who with love, respect and dignity hold true to what they believe and what they have been taught. They looked after my inflexible body and on my journey have knowingly or unknowingly taught me to respect and expand on the limitations which I have put on myself throughout my life. The 200Hr TTC is well thought out with great teachings on all levels of the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual aspects of life. Be inspired, feel whole and let go. We create our own walls so when you are ready free yourself. There’s only one place I can recommend in Rishikesh to study yoga and that is Yogkulam. Join the family.

If you do care more for the content than the famous name, then go for this school. Led by experienced teachers Dee and Amit in a professional way, yet very friendly atmosphere. I felt at home from the very first moment. We were a small group and thanks to it received all the attention from our teachers and got answers to all our questions. Many new inputs and inspiration for yoga practice. Premises are beautiful and the food is delicious prepared by the smiling chef :). Thank you for the unforgettable and beautiful experience!

I will highly recommend this school, with an extremely professional team of teachers. Because it's a small structure you will benefit from the best attention which is a really important point to choose a school and to progress I think. I took my training course with Amit and I can affirm he is a very good teacher, extremely knowledgeable, and overachiever. Him and all the team will take you high in your practice, your knowledge and will give you the confidence to teach your turn. Rishikesh yogkulam is a good choice!

I followed my previous teacher Dee for my 300 hour yoga teacher training course to his new school which he runs with Amit, both exceptional teachers. My knowledge of asana and alignment has improved especially but all the classes were brilliant. The course is intense but well worth it. The food is delicious and cooked with love every single day. The rooms are light, bright, clean and spacious. The teachers took us on excursions around rishikesh on our day off, invited us to an Indian wedding and threw a lovely birthday celebration for one of the girls on the course. My group was small and we had a very special bond with each other by the end. Can’t thank the teachers enough. I highly recommend this school.

I did a lot of research for the perfect school and I am so glad I found it! The teachers are amazing, full of knowledge, willing to help you grow, always an ear for your questions, assistance if you have any problem or health issues, respect full and always in a good mood to share wonderful experiences and memories with you. I can't say enough thank you for all your kindness and knowledge I got from all the teachers of Rishikesh Yogkulam. I definitely will be back to keep studying with all of them. And a big hug to my colleagues there was one of a kind and so happy to have shared all this experience with them too. Definitely this school is the best you can find in Rishikesh. Dhanyawad

Dhi and Amit gurujis will teach you to be both flexible and strong at the same time. I am so grateful I was able to learn from the best. They have the knowledge and passion to train you to be a better yogi and improve your practice. I have so much respect for both, and am so excited to see that they have teamed up to start a school that will optimally train your body, mind and spirit to be “healthy and happy”. I would highly recommend it to any yogi to learn from Dhi and Amit. You will gain lifelong friends, not just teachers.
