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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

RYT 500 stands for Registered Yoga Teacher, who has undergone 500 hours of training, recognized by Yoga Alliance. The RYT 500 designation indicates that a yoga teacher has completed either a complete 500-hour training course or a combination of a 200-hour course and a 300-hour advanced course from registered schools that teach higher levels of teaching, anatomy, philosophy, and yoga techniques.
The cost of a 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh varies based on room type and nationality. For international students, the fee is $2,650 for a private room and $2,350 for a shared room. For Indian students, the cost is ₹105,000 for a private room and ₹95,000 for a shared room.
As the birthplace of yoga, Rishikesh has its own energy and spiritual aura that supports the practice of Yoga. The yoga teachers practising and spreading the ancient wisdom in Rishikesh are natural, as they have been practising the art since childhood. Thus, the place serves as the ideal location to learn yoga from its roots and understand its true essence. Beginning your yogic journey from the land of yoga's birth will help you build a strong foundation and enhance it with further practices and studies.
To be eligible for Yoga Alliance's 500 hour certification (RYT 500), you must successfully complete 500 hours of yoga teacher training through a school registered with Yoga Alliance (as either a private 500-hour program or as a combination of a 200 hour program and a 300-hour program), as well as complete at least 100 hours of teaching experience after your training, prior to registering with Yoga Alliance.
After the completion of the course, you will be certified with Yoga Alliance which is internationally recognized, so definitely you will be able to teach. But we would suggest you practice as much as you can even after the completion of the training. In order to get the very essence of yoga, years and years of effort are required. You can also apply for yoga instructor jobs in your hometown or other places to better yourself in the art of teaching.

Just completed my 500hr YTTC at Rishikul Yogshala, it was an amazing experience. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, the school had a truly authentic atmosphere, and the entire journey felt deeply transformative. A true immersion into the essence of yoga!
Truly amazing - beautiful location, delicious food, highly knowledgeable teachers and a very caring course coordinator. I would highly recommend Rishikul for 500 hr YTT! I left feeling stronger, more confident, and deeply connected to the true essence of yoga. Thank you, Rishikul Yogshala, for an unforgettable and transformative journey.
I did my five hundred hours training course in Rishikul Yogshala, and I must admit it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. The teachers are amazing. I would travel all the way back to India just to have another class with Bipinji!! Within so many options and schools and Ashrams in Rishikesh, I would choose to go back there everytime!
