Yoga School Rishikesh Yogpeeth
As a Yoga School, we are influenced by so many Great Sages from our Tradition, modern practitioners as well as thinkers and most of them reflect in our expressions of teaching. Over the years in the natural evolution of the School, we have observed Yoga as a practice of disciplining body and mind.

In the process to achieve discipline, the most important thing for a practitioner is to understand the very nature of body and mind, especially mind. What is Mind? How it works? Why do we need to discipline it? What are the ways to discipline it? Is it ever going to be disciplined? So many similar questions have bothered seekers of different time and eras. Answers to all of these questions are hidden in the treasures of Yog Sutra complied by Mahrishi Patanjanli. Philosophical background of Rishikesh Yogpeeth and the practices taught in these courses are very much in line with the concept.

Aims & Objective - Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh India
At Rishikesh Yogpeeth, our intention is to apply the science of yoga by adapting the traditional knowledge of Indian Masters to suit our times, while taking care to preserve the essence of their teachings. Yoga is about discovering your true nature through your own personal experience. We want to provide a transforming experience and focus on the subtler aspects of Yoga, not only covering the asanas, but going beyond to enhance your understanding of yoga.

Our Yoga does not end at the yoga hall, it leads to personal revelations, changes and then transformation. We believe our teacher training programs will help you initiate this chain of self-transformation. Those who are already initiated will be able to hone their practice of yoga and sharpen their perceptions about yogic philosophy and meditation.

Our Approach to Yoga
We believe Yoga is a gift to entire humanity and its practice is an antidote to the stress and suffering of our lives. We want to bring the benefits of this science to the whole world. We also believe that India, as the birth place of Yoga, has a special responsibility to continue to spread this message of Yoga to the world in its original essence.

We are conscious of this responsibility to make sincere efforts on the path of Yoga in its true spirit, with compassion, in the right way, and with right expectations. Where possible, we will use the insights of science to deepen our understanding of yogic practices. Yoga was never meant to be followed blindly. Questioning everything is also yoga.
