Some Main Topics
Hatha is the Sanskrit word formed by combining two different words, "Ha" and "Tha". Ha means Sun and Tha means Moon. Basically, this style of yoga is the yoga of balance and harmony for the body, mind, and spirit. It includes a set of physical postures and varied breathing techniques. It is said to be one of the oldest systems in the world which have been used for many centuries. Lord Shiva was the first to do Hatha Yoga, so its mainstream has been Shaiva but later Siddhas and Naths continued the tradition of Hatha Yoga. The followers of Gorakhnath used to practice Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is an important series of asanas in Beginner level yoga practice.
Hatha Yoga is much more than just simple asana practice. It is a way to attain the ultimate stage of Samadhi. The stage where a person becomes free from every type of illusion and disturbance. As Hatha is related to the Sun and Moon energy of the body, the practice is done to purify the Pingla or Solar Nadi and Ida or Lunar Nadi. Nadis are the energy channels of the body. Hatha Yoga can also be termed as part of Raja Yoga but without Yamas and Niyamas. Whenever you are practicing any yoga asanas and the right form of Pranayama, you are actually practicing Hatha.
100 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh at Rishikesh Yogkuklam includes a class on Hatha Yoga Practice which makes you aware of the correct sequencing and breathing practice with different asanas. Learn to perform and reap maximum benefits with Hatha Yoga under the right teachings by experienced gurus of our yoga school who help you at every step needed and further makes your practice more happening.
Vinyasa Yoga is linking postural movements with breath. It can also be considered the free Ashtanga Vinyasa style. It includes moving from one pose to another with the right synchronization of the breath. Sometimes, it is also referred to as Power Yoga. The interesting part of Vinyasa classes is that you will never find two classes alike as there is a variety of postures in them. Unlike other yoga styles like Bikram Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga; Vinyasa Yoga keeps showing variations. Though the sequence may be fixed in the Vinyasa style yet variations in postures are seen.
One such simple example of a Vinyasa style of yoga is A Cat-Cow Stretch or Chakravakasana. An example of a complex vinyasa is Surya Namaskar or A Sun Salutation. Each movement of Suryanamaskar is maintained with inhalation and exhalation of the breath. It not only keeps you active but is also an excellent way to maintain your health. It reduces stress and improves the cardiac fitness of the body. It also improves the emotional and spiritual growth of the body, keeping you away from negative surroundings and thoughts.
Rishikesh Yogkulam offers 100 Hours Yoga TTC in Rishikesh which includes theoretical and practical sessions of Vinyasa Yoga. The practical classes include the vinyasa asana series by professional teachers and gurus of the respective fields. You might find the class challenging but in the end, this will come up as the best part of your 100 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh. You get to evolve yourself deeper with the practice of the Vinyasa style.
Ashtanga is a Sanskrit word meaning Eight-limbed, where Ashta stands for eight and anga for limb. In simple words, it is an eight-limb yoga which leads you to the path of Samadhi or the utmost pleasure. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali were compiled around 200 CE by Sage Patanjali and describe ancient text on yoga. Sadhana Pada of the text states "Yama-niyama-asana-pranayama-pratyahara-dharana-dyana-samadhyaya-astavangani”, translated as "yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi are the eight limbs of yoga”
100 Hours Yoga TTC in Rishikesh discovers divinity residing within us with the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. It is actually a process of going deeper into yourself to achieve a state of bliss at the end. Ashtanga Yoga demands a high level of rigorous physical strength and flexibility. So, whether you are at starting of your journey or learning the deep core of it or planning for some goals change, Ashtanga Yoga Class in your schedule keeps your body and mind, healthy and strong.
At Rishikesh Yogkulam, we offer 100 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh. Ashtanga Yoga class starts with Asana (the third limb of Ashtanga). The continuous process takes you to the stage of Sadhana or spiritual practice. Asana is a physical workout which readily makes your mind and soul feel better. Taking care of our physical body is believed as the prime duty by the great sages.
One needs to invest time in making mental health and fitness as much as one is investing in physical fitness. Thinking about how to achieve this? Exercise is the way to get a healthy physique, in the same way, mental exercise is needed to maintain a healthy mind. Meditation is one proven exercise which helps you build strong mental fitness. Defining meditation is somehow a tricky task as it is much more than just a set of exercises. It is a technique that encourages a high point of awareness and focused attention. It even shows many benefits in psychological well-being.
Meditation is also about making you a better person. The 100 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh describes various types of meditation which gives various benefits. From making you relax to reducing anxiety and stress; meditation is believed as a tool to improve overall health and fitness. It is not a new practice, indeed it has been practised by sages and saints long ago. They use it as a powerful tool to remove hindrances and obstacles in their path.
Meditation is not as easy as it looks. It is possible you will find many obstacles while doing it. It is also possible that at first, you will not able to focus or concentrate but with time and practice, you make yourself a master in it. In this journey, teachers and professionals at Rishikesh Yogkulam will help you and make your 100 Hours Yoga TTC in Rishikesh more beneficial and happening. Stay calm and keep practicing to perform it with greater benefits.
The Sanskrit words, "Prana" is "Life Energy" and "Yama" is "Control" form the meaning of "Pranayama" as the practice of control of life energy. It is also known as the process of breath regulation. The practice of Pranayama is essential for physical and mental wellness as well. During the process of pranayama, you need to follow a specific sequence of inhalation, holding, and exhalation. The practice frees you from disturbing emotional, spiritual, and mental cycles. Doing it regularly will give a positive change to your whole body.
Pranayama can be performed alone as a single class or practice and can also be practiced with Yoga. Like asanas (yoga postures) and dhyana (meditation). Pranayama itself is a beneficial practice but when it gets involved with other activities then it provides a large number of benefits. It is due to the effects of breathing exercises and mindfulness activities. The ultimate goal of pranayama is to build a connection between your body and mind while supplying enough oxygen to your body and removing toxins. The benefits are not only physical but also psychological.
Daily practice of pranayama is most important for your overall well-being. Keeping this in mind, Rishikesh Yogkulam includes daily Pranayama class in its course of 100 Hours Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh. The classes guide you to practice breathing activities with perfection. Professional teachers and gurus at the school help you in learning the true and authentic practice of pranayama with other physical activities.

I was looking for a Place in where to get in direct contact with the origins of yoga and all of the culture that It Is about It.
I was looking for a Place that could show me how yoga Is teached in the Place where It Is Born, taking advantage of the purity of this knowledge.
And the destiny gave me this beautiful gift to meet the incredible school Rishikesh Yogkulam :) the well prepared and so kind teachers are all young boys Who dedicated their Life to the subjects they're teaching, they are able to share their knowledge in such a complete way, going Deep in every argument, being incredibly able to make the study become funny and serious at the same time. They have been able to make all the group of students become One, especially in the moments of the sundays excursions all together.
We students, we all got in a true human relationship with our teachers and our group.
And the Hotel Laxmi Palace Is a beautiful Place, well located close to the Laxman Jula bridge. It offers good healthy food (prepared with love from beautiful and friendly people) and there everybody takes care of you. Also the rooms are nice, Wide and clean .

I remember myself stuck while searching for a good 200hr YTT. Picking the right YTT in Rishikesh is hard. This school was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so happy I decided to join the Yogkulam family.
I couldn’t make a better choice! From the beginning I felt at home. We were in small groups, the teachers were young , very knowledgeable and open to share their knowledge with everyone.
Can’t hide my two favorites:
Mandeep, our philosophy teacher. A great human, with such a deep knowledge about yoga and Indian mythology, and of course Varsha, a beautiful soul, always teaching from her heart, something I love to see and Inspires me. I had been scared about meditation and stillness but she showed us other ways to meditate and made me understand that meditation practice is not that scary as I had it in my mind and is not only about stillness.
In addition, we also had great excursions every Sunday and an awesome surprise from Amit(the owner of the school) that we are going to an Indian wedding (that was so fun and a lifetime experience), and something last but very important the food was just delicious from an always smiley chef!!!
Thank you so much Yogkulam family for all the knowledge you shared! I’m very grateful to meet you all and hopefully to see you soon!💕

Dear everybody in Yogkulam school,
Thank you so much for my 200 hour TTC with you. It has been the best idea to choose your school and I am so grateful that you have teached me. I was never expecting that amount of kindness, warmth and knowledge. You have changed me in such a good way and helped me to learn more about myself, this life and yoga. All the teachers are amazing personalities with big hearts, a passion for yoga and great teaching skills. Starting the day early has been a challenge in the beginning but with time I used to like it to start my day with physical practice. Jitu has an incredibly great way to teach and a very good feeling of sequencing and pushing you to your limits without crossing them. Also he taught me a lot of pranayama techniques, good theoretical background about all the benefits and precautions, he took my fear of Shatkarma, taught me step by step the Ashtanga Vinyasa Series and furthermore out of the class I learned so many random Hindi vocabulary because of him and used to laugh a lot. One of the highlights of the day has been philosophy. Amit, sometimes you captured me in a magic way that all my thoughts made sense. It is unbelievable what a big amount of knowledge is inside your head and how perfectly clear you can express that. Some of these classes really changed my way of thinking and understanding. Thank you so much for that! Anatomy with Manu was one of the funniest classes of the day. He is such a lovely human being with great humor and an outstanding way of explaining difficult processes in the body in a perfectly understandable manner. After one month of anatomy with Manu you will have a very good and holistic understanding about the structure and functions of your body and what happens inside. My second personal highlight each day was meditating with Varsha. She is the most inspiring, strong and beautiful woman. Her heart and empathy are bigger than possibly imaginable. She opens a space to be yourself and to feel safe.
Some general words: The food was super delicious every single day with always healthy, nutritious and diversified meals. The accommodation was super big and clean. And the yoga hall was on the top of the building with a super beautiful view into the mountains.
Again, Amit, Jitu, Manu and Varsha, I can not thank you enough. You are inspiring people and you have a place in my heart. This month with you was one of the best in my life and I really miss you. I am sure to see you again to learn even more from you next year.
Sending you love from Germany,

Sage Vasishtha, one of the revered Seven Sages and author of Rigveda's Mandala 7, stands out as a figure steeped in Vedic history. He once decided to suicide in River Ganga due to the loss of his beloved youngsters. Still, Goddess Ganga denied his self-destruction, so he spent his life in a cave with his wife near the same location, and eventually, a small ashram was built around that cave. In 1930, Swami Purshottamanand sought a haven of tranquility for those searching for profound reflection in the ashram. So he dedicated himself to preserving and sustaining the natural beauty that sprouted around Vashistha Yoga Ashram - where people from all over flock today to discover their inner power amidst nature's wonders. The ashram is 25 km away from Rishikesh on Badrinath road, Uttrakhand.

The Astanga Vinyasa yoga style created in the 20th century by Krishna Pattabhi is a modern form of the classical art of yoga. This style of yoga is linked with movements called vinyasa, which involves body movements and simultaneous breathing. It is a great form to increase flexibility.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an energetic style which works by getting breath synchronising with movements. Every single asana of the series is directly linked with flowing movements or Vinyasa. The style which is in current teaching is known as the "Mysore Style" as it originally originated in Mysore. It further gives rise to various other styles of Power Yoga.
Pranayama is the practice of inhaling and exhaling breath regulation. Pranayama is derived from the Sanskrit word “Parna” and “Yama” which means life energy and control. You intentionally breathe in and breathe out air to achieve the benefits of Pranayama.
The word Pranayama is made up of Prana + Ayama. This means, controlling your breath and the expansion of breath is called Pranayama. The flow of life force in our body gives us life force. Pranayama is the easiest way to keep our bodies alive and our minds strong. Through pranayama, we understand the depth and seriousness of yoga and we learn to control our breath. Controlling the breath depends on our Prana. Pranayama is one of the eight limbs of yoga. The eight limbs of yoga are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
This propagates the idea of yoga as a way of thinking that benefits from rehearses. The yoga philosophy or the way of thinking about yoga helps you achieve harmony and tranquillity in life and brings unending joy, physical and mental stability, and great thinking power. This course helps you to understand the reasonings for yoga.
Maharishi Patanjali is the founder of Yoga philosophy. Yoga philosophy is one of the six theistic philosophies (Shad Darshanas). The first book of this philosophy is the Yoga Sutras. Yoga philosophy is also known as Seshvara Sankhya or Theistic Sankhya. Because it accepts almost all the beliefs of Sankhya in relation to life and the world. Also, it accepts the existence of God. In yoga philosophy, God is described as a special power who remains unaffected by tribulation, karma, result, ideal, culture, etc. Its function is not to provide liberation, but only to remove obstacles from the path of the seeker. The Bhagavad Gita is also called Yoga Shastra i.e. the manual of Yoga.
While performing certain asanas, you might feel stress on your muscles. Don't worry if you feel so because it is normal. Wear and Tear on joints and muscles while getting into the practice of yoga is not a big. No matter you're a beginner or experienced, you can experience some sudden or sharp pain in a particular pose. This can sometimes leads to injury. Don't get scared! To avoid risk of injuries and pain, Alignment classes are organised.
So, what exactly an alignment class is? In an Alignment class, you will learn the precise and ideal way to perform any given pose so that you can get maximum benefits of it and minimize the risk of injury. It normalize the use of props and modifications during yoga asanas. When you get to know alignment, then you can make any pose work for you.
The six inward cleanings and purging practice that brings in the benefits of a rich experience in yoga is called Shatkarma. It is a magnificent practice that addresses different parts of the body like the sensory system, the stomach, the circulatory system, the respiratory system, etc. This practice makes the yoga experience profound and rich.
The origin of the word Shatkarma is from the combination of these two words "Shat" and "Karma". In this, Shat means six and Karma means actions. Thus Shatkarma means 'six actions'. Here Shatkarma refers to the six special actions through which the body is purified. In Hatha Yoga, these six types of purification actions are called Shatkarma. Maharishi Gherand has described six Shatkarmas as the first part of Yoga in the Gherand Samhita. They believe that without the practice of Shatkarma, no seeker can achieve success in the path of Yoga. First of all purification of the body is necessary. Without purification of the body, it is difficult for the seeker to move forward in following other parts of yoga. That's why Maharishi Gherand has accepted Shatkarma as the first part of Yoga.
The anatomy and physiology of yoga are related to the medical benefits of this ancient art on the muscles, bones, and the entire anatomy of the individual. The extraordinary yoga poses that are focused on the various life structures and restrictions of the body are considered here.
Anatomy is a branch of science dealing with the bodily structure of a living being. You will get to know a complete understanding of the inner structure and the movements associated with each pose. It revolves around the layers of the body, mind, and energies flowing in the body. In simple words, yoga anatomy teaches you everything in relation to body organs, tissues, muscles, and so on. Yoga Physiology is that branch that explains the functions of organisms. It makes you understand the basic functioning of the cell and living beings at the molecular level. In simple words, Physiology is about learning yoga asanas, breathing techniques, and more.
The art of meditation forms an integral part of the course. Meditation involves calming the entire body and mind of the individual. The course each day is challenging and requires practicing new skills. Meditation helps to stay stress-free and acquire those skills to the best of one's capabilities.
Meditation is a way through which you can come out of your stressful life and improve your lifestyle. Because in today's time people mostly go through mental illness due to which their daily routine gets disturbed. People associated with yoga are most aware of this mindfulness practice because they do not forget to include it in their daily routine. Therefore, listening to your breath or listening to the sound of birds clearly while in the posture of dhyana is meditation, but when you do not experience anything else while in this posture, then you are in the right state of meditation.
