Bipin Baloni
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga & Pranayama
Bipin Baloni Ji founded Rishikul Yogshala in 2010 and has been teaching here since the very first batch. He holds an M.Phil. in Yoga and a Postgraduate degree in Yoga from Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna University (HNBU), has completed a 500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course, and is an International Certified Master Trainer. He started practising yoga in 2008 and began teaching in 2009, so by the time he opened this school, he had already spent years learning from some of the most respected teachers in Rishikesh, including direct students of BKS Iyengar and teachers from the Himalayan Tradition.
He specialises in Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pranayama, Yoga Therapy, Anatomy & Physiology of Yogic Sciences, and Meditation. He has taught at schools and retreat centres across India and internationally.
Alongside running Rishikul Yogshala, he serves as President of the Yoga Association Rishikesh (also known as the Rishikesh Yoga Association/Alliance), the body that represents and oversees yoga schools and teachers across the Rishikesh region. It is not a title that comes with a registration fee. It reflects the trust that the broader yoga community in Rishikesh has placed in him over many years.
Students who have trained under him consistently point to the same thing: he teaches from eye level, not from above. He brings experience and seriousness to the room, but also patience and a sense of humour that make the harder sessions easier to get through.
He notices what others miss, a breath held in the wrong place and a shoulder slightly out of line, and corrects it in a way that actually makes sense to the student.

Gurmeet was born and raised in Rishikesh, and also completed his academic education in this holy city. Gurmeet Singh is a specialized Hatha Yoga, Alignment & Adjustment, and Yoga Anatomy teacher. He completed his Postgraduate in Yoga from Uttarakhand Sanskrit University.

He worked with Germany’s largest and most reputable cruise company for more than 7 years as a yoga teacher. During this period, he had the opportunity to collaborate closely with physiotherapists, helping him deepen his understanding of body alignment, injury-free yoga practice, and the integration of modern anatomy with traditional yogic science.
Gurmeet’s strength lies in his profound knowledge of Yogic Anatomy, extensive hands-on experience in bodywork from his time in Germany, and his personalized approach to asana, tailored to each student’s unique strengths and requirements.
