Workshops During Yoga TTC in Rishikesh Special sessions that bring the essence of yoga to life—beyond the mat, into mind, body, and spirit.
Iyengar Yoga at Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh
Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is named after the late B.K.S. Iyengar, who popularized the use of props to make yoga accessible to people of all ages.

This form of Yoga appeals to all abilities, age groups and body types as the poses can be modified to suit your body using props such as bricks, belts and blankets.

This practice aligns the physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual bodies, creating a state of balance and harmony.

As per the B.K.S Iyengar - Each asana has an optimum line or position. From the head to the foot, from the front to the back, from the right to the left—without deviation, without distortion.

Kundalini Yoga

The word ‘Kundalini’ refers to a dormant dimension of energy within us that has not yet reached its full potential. In today's world - what we lack is a constant heightened state of awareness.

Heightened states of energy naturally lead to heightened perception. The whole yogic system ultimately works to enhance awareness and perception, which is the path of Kundalini Yoga.

Being an advanced practice which is only to be initiated upon mastering one's body, energy and emotions, this workshop would be an introductory session in intellectually understanding the concept of Kundalini and break several myths and illusory approaches to Kundalini.

Kundalini Yoga at Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh
Sound Healing at Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh
Sound Healing

Sound healing is the method of using specific instruments, music, tones, or vibrations to calm the nervous system, helping to restore balance to both the body and mind.

It involves using specialized sound frequencies to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes deep rest, nervous system rebalancing, and emotional release.

Sound healing methods are derived from Yogic Meditative practices, which focus on balancing the body and mind. By using sound-generating tools, sound healing induces a meditative or theta brainwave state, allowing access to deeper levels of calmness.

Yoga Therapy

The term “Therapy” is intended to relieve or heal a disorder.

Yoga means union, so the concept of yoga therapy is to restore balance to the mind and body by using various yogic tools such as Asana, Pranayama, and Meditative practices.

Yoga therapy aligns individual health needs with yogic practices, supported by modern medical insights and scientific understanding to create harmony between body and mind.

Yoga therapy is a holistic approach to healing and wellness, integrating principles of yoga along with therapeutic techniques.

Yoga Therapy at Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh
Yoga Teaching Practicum at Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh
Teaching Practicum

Teaching yoga is both a science and an art. While strong personal practice forms the base, teaching requires additional awareness and communication skills.

This comprehensive workshop offers two sets of tools:

Logical tools: such as understanding sequencing and rhythm of a class.

Subtle tools: skills required to become a proficient yoga teacher. You’ll also learn how to adapt to different class sizes, group dynamics, and age variations.

This session empowers self-practitioners to strengthen their independent practice and equips teachers with the insight and experience needed to effectively guide students in real learning environments.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga is a yogic practice that involves minimal muscular effort and releases physical tension. It focuses on slowing down and opening the body through passive stretching.

This style is suitable for practitioners of all levels. The concept of restorative yoga borrows the central theme of how an asana should be practiced in its true sense—holding poses for a longer duration, often supported by props such as yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters.

This practice nurtures the meditative aspect of yoga, helping to calm the nervous system and restore inner balance.

The History of Yoga in Rishikesh, India

While practising yoga, many people think of a landscape, breathwork, meditative states, and a path that leads to inner peace. However, to understand the origin of yoga, we must seek beyond modern trends and travel to the roots of the practice - Rishikesh, India, at the base of the Himalayas. Rishikesh has been the magnetic centre for sages, mystics, and spiritual seekers around the world.

The name Rishikesh comes from the Sanskrit word Hrishikesha, meaning “Lord of the Senses,” a name associated with Lord Vishnu. Surrounded by nature and blessed by the sacred Ganga, Rishikesh offers an ideal environment for introspection, learning, and self-purification.

Historical Roots of Yoga in Rishikesh

Rishikesh's origin is rooted in India's ancient spiritual legacy, dating back to the Vedic period, approximately 5,000 years ago.

Blessed by the sacred flow of the Ganga, Rishikesh has long served as a natural sanctuary for tapasya (austerity), dhyana (meditation), and moksha (liberation). It is not only renowned for its presence in myths and legends but is also revered in the Vedas, Puranas, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. These ancient scriptures describe Rishikesh as a divine land chosen by gods and sages for spiritual evolution.

This vast history of yoga in Rishikesh is as ancient as the Himalayas themselves. The town holds a place in the Vedic scriptures, the Upanishads, and the Puranic texts, where it is described as a Tirtha, a known crossing point. Philosophers like Rishi Vashistha, Rishi Bharadwaja, and Lakshmana are said to have come here for meditation. This spiritual legacy has been passed down through the foundation of Rishikesh's enduring connection to yoga.

While empires have risen and fallen, the divine vibration of Rishikesh continues to resonate quietly, untouched yet fully awake.

Rise of ashrams and global recognition
Rise of Ashrams and Global Recognition

Although the seed of yoga in Rishikesh was planted long ago, its modern development began in the early 20th century. During the 1900s, Rishikesh was the town where sadhus and saints sought isolation in the Himalayas. As India entered the post-colonial era, a renewed interest in spirituality inspired visionaries and teachers to establish centers of learning across Rishikesh. Some idealists and spiritual leaders began founding ashrams in the town.

Many ashrams were established in Rishikesh. Among the most influential were the Sivananda Ashram of The Divine Life Society (founded in 1936), Parmarth Niketan, and Yoga Niketan. These ashrams offered yoga courses, attracting not only Indians but also seekers from across the world.

The 1960s marked a turning point when Rishikesh gained global recognition for its ancient wisdom. In 1968, The Beatles famously visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram to study Transcendental Meditation, an event that introduced millions to the spiritual heritage of Rishikesh and inspired some of their most iconic songs.

Modern Rishikesh: A Global Hub for Yogis

Today, Rishikesh is not only a blessed town, but it is also the centre of global yoga culture. Every year, thousands of students travel here to complete yoga teacher training courses, spiritual workshops, and wellness programs. From traditional Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga to modern practices like Vinyasa Flow and Kundalini Flow, Rishikesh offers it all. These offerings allow students of all backgrounds to explore yoga in its truest form.

Parmarth Niketan Ashram organizes the most celebrated yoga events, including the world-famous International Yoga Festival. Guests from around the world gather to experience Yoga sessions, devotional Kirtans, Vedic rituals, and Ayurvedic healing led by renowned teachers and spiritual masters. This harmony of ancient wisdom and global participation truly defines modern Rishikesh as a living embodiment of yoga’s universal spirit.

Inês Pequito Review For Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh Inês Pequito

My first YTTC and I'm so glad I chose Rishikul to attend it! Blessed by Bipin Ji and Surinder Ji. The shala is beautiful, all in wood and with a privileged view over the sunrise and the sunset. The location is calm and serene, and the neighbours are friendly. The staff, especially the chef made delicious food. There's a small library where you can consult all the books needed for the course.
