Rishikesh Yogkulam® served to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Originally, while searching for schools in India, I felt overwhelmed with the amount of schools in the city that all had the same outline. I chose Yogkulam after hearing horror stories about fake schools and scams and found Yogkulam through Instagram, Facebook and the official website with all of the information I needed to confirm its authenticity. They included in their fees airport pickup (which is amazing when entering a foreign country) a single or shared room with a comfortable full size bed, and private bathroom (all of which is pretty unique for a school in Rishikesh). Having a place for yourself to relax and recuperate I found is essential to your well-being, as getting sick or feeling absolutely exhausted is a common problem. The food actually served to be quite amazing. Of course, it could get a little tiring after eating it for several weeks, but it was comparably as great as anything you would eat outside of the school. As for the teachers, I can not begin to explain my love for them individually and as a whole. What makes this program so great is how you become part of their family so quickly. This is a relatively new school, but although they may be young, they are well trained, dedicated, and enthusiastic people. Their goal is to make sure that you grow as a person - mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Many other schools seem like factories just pulling out certificates and upping their reviews. Yogkulam was there to individualize the experience to make it fit your needs. The class sizes are small, and there are 2 studios which splits up the classes to be even smaller, which means you get personal, one on one, attention. Not many schools can ever give you this type of structure. These teachers are attentive and passionate, which makes getting to know them an even greater reward. Every single class was full of laughter, random silly questions, cultural immersion, and strength building. Amit and Dee, the leaders and creators of this facility, are renowned for their work, and created the program to make sure you are learning all aspects of yoga correctly and fluidly. Amit is so knowledgable, and he's willing to help with any question, concern, problem or difficulty your facing. He looks at the body as a structure, and taught alignment and adjustment in such a professional perspective that I now see flaws in myself and in others methodically. Dee, on the other hand, pushed me to limits that I was not willing to push myself to. I swear, he was trying to kill me at first, but he proved to me that I was capable of much more, and for the first time, I was able to achieve poses I never thought I could (and also chaturanga with my new muscles :P) Manu, a great friend and even greater educator, made anatomy and physiology so engaging and was an amazing example of how every teacher should structure a classroom environment. Every teacher in this school showed an immense amount of passion and care for what they taught and your relationship with them. Between the laughter, tears, body aches, and adventures, my course flew by me with unforgettable memories. I'm ever so thankful for this program, and I hope to share my yoga practice and make Yogkulam proud. LOVE YOU GUYS

Namastè to every soul looking for a Yoga TTC in Rishikesh!
I just finished my 200hours by Rishikesh Yogkulam®- (Family) in March 2019.
When I hear people saying:" oh TTC change my life" I couldn't actually really understand why for everything this month was so Powerfull. Now that I have experienced and practices, I can say that for me, never in my life before I have taken one full month for myself, to go deeply into myself and better know me. That is actually what yoga is and bring you, here in the best way possible:
Young, professional and qualify teacher are waiting to share their knowledge with you!
It seems an advertise, I know, but it's actually what you will find here ( they didn't pay me, I swear!). When I was looking for a school I start asking people and everyone was given me a different advise, so I was becoming crazy and just looking on the website every school seems amasing ( actually marketing reach also this holy place).
I find out a good girl from my country that take so much time for me helping me to compare the different schools and we end up on choosing Rishikesh Yogkulam®. She was so kind with me that I just trust on her.
And this was an amazing decision because is not just about how they care to teach you or the perfect schedule they have, for me was almost more how they are as people, how they decide to share with us and take care of us in everything (any food problem, rooms problem, knee problem).
You can see and feel that they just do their best to give you the best experience here in India: not just about yoga but also about Indian traditional culture (bringing you to Aarti, temple, weddings when possible, whatching bollywood movies or just chatting and answering your question during all the meals!).
So is like a bath in the Holy Ganga and in Indian culture and obviously into YOGA:
All is organised in very good ways and the food with Sashi is super balanced and healthy.
So I want to thanks all the teacher of the school because from everyone I have learned so much.
So beautiful lost soul looking for a TTC comes to Rishikesh Yogkulam® before this young guys become too famous and increase their price

I have just finished my 200hr with Yogkulum and I can’t thank them enough for everything! I was recommended the school by a previous student and knew I was going to have a good time because she was so excited... well now I’m that student and I’m recommending anyone thinking of doing a course to join Yogkulum. The teachers are so professional and so inspiring, such young guys with so much knowledge and determination to make this school grow. The BEST thing (other than the teachers) is the small groups, you get much more from a yoga course when the group is small and you can ask more personal questions. There were just 4 in the 200hr group which was perfect, also 4 in the 300hr and we really became a family. The teachers are all so unique, they are easy to talk to and there is no ego! I have to say Dee is now my favorite yoga teacher of all time... I felt that he really understood each student - he’s very observant. The way he handles people in adjustments is incredible... trying to do it the same way seemed impossible but I’ll get it one day! 😂 thank you Manu for making anatomy class fun! Thanks Mohit for philosophy which was so interesting and never difficult to understand. Sonu was an amazing Hatha teacher and so adorable. I’ll never forget Dance meditation with Rohit! 😂Amit I loved your classes it’s a shame we didn’t get to have more time with u but thank u so much for being so helpful in making this happen for me. Thank you to all the yogkulum team, for teaching us valuable life lessons and for having fun with us. Dance parties, mountain trekking, birthday treats and much more! One of the most challenging but best months of my life. Forever grateful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Full Syllabus For This Course
Rishikesh Yogkulam®'s Yoga Teacher Training Courses in Rishikesh will help you begin your journey and career in the glorious field of yoga. With our various courses and programs, you can learn a lot about it in a short period of time. The syllabus of yoga in Rishikesh is maintained in such a way that every topic gets covered theoretically and practically. All the important topics are covered in our well-maintained syllabus and schedule.
Hatha Yoga is an ancient form of yoga with varied benefits. The different holistic techniques of the yoga style help control the mind. Asanas in Hatha style are done at a slow to medium pace and are required to be held for a particular time. It helps you prepare for deep meditation, helps improves your health, and increases happy thoughts.
Hatha in Sanskrit means pressure or force. That's why "hatha yoga" means a yoga posture in which physical force and physical pressure are applied. It can be understood in this way, the yoga in which there is a balance of both body and mind is called hatha yoga. Pranayama, Mantra Chanting, Asanas, and Mudras get covered in Hatha style.
Krishna Pattabhi discovered the modern form of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the 20th century. He even makes it popular with the people of the present time. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga combines various bodily movements with breathing. It is a great way to increase flexibility.
The style is propagated by Pattabhi Jois, who learned it from his teacher, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. To expand on this, Jois started his own Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in the year 1948. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is an energetic style that works by getting the breath to synchronize with the movements. Every single asana of the series is directly linked with flowing movements or vinyasa. The style used 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 one such technique that our forefathers devised as a gift to mankind. If we talk about pranayama, then it is the fourth of the eight limbs of yoga. In ancient times, people used to practice it regularly and remain healthy. Pranayama has a special place and importance in Ashtanga Yoga. In Maharishi Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga, it is written in the fourth pada, "Pranasya Ayam: Iti Pranayama:" This means pranayama is the expansion of prana, or life energy.
Pranayama is a combination of the words "Prana" and "Ayama." Prana means life force, which keeps our body alive and through which our body gets energy. Our body gets energy when we inhale and exhale prana, i.e., air. "Dimension" means to give direction or to change. When we draw the Prana Vayu, we gain control over its direction. We change its dimensions according to our wishes. The speed at which normal breath comes and goes remains constant. But in pranayama, we establish control over the speed of our breathing (stop breathing); that is called pranayama.
This propagates the idea of yoga as a way of thinking that benefits from repetition. The yoga philosophy, or the way of thinking about yoga, helps you achieve harmony and tranquilly in life and brings unending joy, physical and mental stability, and great thinking power. This course will help you understand the philosophy behind yoga.
The founder of yoga philosophy is Maharishi Patanjali. Yoga philosophy is one of the six theistic philosophies (Shad Darshanas). The first book of this philosophy is the Yoga Sutras. Seshwara Sankhya, or Theistic Sankhya, is another name for yoga philosophy because it accepts almost all the beliefs of Sankhya in relation to life and the world. Also, it accepts the existence of God. God is described in yoga philosophy as a special power that is unaffected by tribulation, karma, result, ideal, culture, and so on. 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 this way because it is normal. Wear and tear on joints and muscles while getting into the practice of yoga is not big. No matter whether you're a beginner or experienced, you can experience some sudden or sharp pain in a particular pose. This can sometimes lead to injuries. Don't get scared! To avoid the risk of injuries and pain, alignment classes are practiced.
So, exactly what is an alignment class? In an alignment class, you will learn the precise and ideal way to perform any given pose so that you can get maximum benefits from it and minimise the risk of injury. It normalises the use of props and modifications during yoga asanas. When you get to know alignment, then you can make any pose work for you.
Shatkarma, in the perspective of yoga, means cleansing. For the purification of the internal body, the practice done in Hatha Yoga is known as Shatkarma. The origin of the word 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." In the Gherand Samhita, Maharishi Gherand describes six shatkarmas as the first part of yoga. They believe that without the practice of shatkarma, no seeker can achieve success on the path of yoga.
Shatkarmas have a special purpose in our lives. It protects us from various types of diseases. Today, the whole world is spending billions of dollars on finding ways to prevent and cure dangerous diseases. But there is no permanent solution to any disease or ailment. One of the primary reasons for this is the failure to address the underlying cause of the disease or illness.
The anatomy and physiology of yoga are related to the medical benefits of this ancient art on the muscles, bones, and 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 a complete understanding of the inner structure and the movements associated with each pose. It revolves around the layers of the body, the mind, and the 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 the branch of science that explains how organisms work.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.
Meditation is an important part of yoga. It relaxes the entire body by calming the mind. You need to sharpen your skills in meditation. It helps to stay stress-free and acquire those skills to the best of one's capabilities.
You can help yourself eliminate stress from your life by practicing meditation on a regular basis. In the present time, disorders of mental health like anxiety and depression are common. It then disturbs your daily routine. Meditation is not always about closing your eyes and focusing on a single point. It sometimes also includes listening to your breath or the sound of birds clearly while in the posture of dhyana, or meditation, but when you do not experience anything else while in this posture, then you are in the right state of meditation.
