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 type of Yoga aligns the physical body in line with the mental body, the mental body with the intellectual body, and the intellectual body with the spiritual body, so they are balanced.

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.

The word “Kundalini” generally refers to that dimension of energy that is yet to realize its potential. There is a huge volume of energy within us that is yet to find its potential. In today's world - What we lack is Constant Heightened State of Awareness.

Sound healing is the method of using specific instruments, music, tones or tunes and other vibrations to bring in calmness within your nervous system thus aiding in the balance of the body and mind.

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

The Sound healing methods are borrowed from Yogic Meditative practices. In the Yogic Meditative practices - certain techniques are used to bring in a balance within our body and mind. Sound healing uses the same method through sound generating tools which can bring about a meditative or theta brainwave state allowing access to deeper levels of calmness.

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, specially the chef made delicious food. There's a small library where you can consult all the books needed for the course.
