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 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.

camilla Review Ευτυχία Ρούντου

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! I will never forget, the people I met, the classes I had, the healing I experienced, the strength I found in me through their teachings.
