Dhirendra Ji

Hatha Yoga & Ashtanga Vinyasa

Born in the lap of the Holy Ganga, at the feet of the Bhootnath Shiva Temple, amidst the forests of the Himalayas, Dhirendra reveals himself as a nature lover and spiritual seeker. Having started his schooling at the tender age of 5, from one of the oldest, most iconic and traditional schools of Rishikesh, Dhirendra believes he was drawn to Yoga by a mystical force as he practiced asanas during the physical education lessons in school. He began to live the yogic way of life from that early age and embraced spirituality as his routines began with worshipping Lord Shiva and the Holy Ganga and continued with practising asanas, eating satvik food and attending music lessons. It was under the able guidance of his Guru Narender Gusain that he was able to leave all his vices and practice Yoga religiously. His dedication was such that there were times that he would practice till his body was sore, and it was around this time that he realized that the external appreciation and praise were pointless and the true meaning of Yoga was the alignment of the body, mind and soul, being able to appreciate himself from within. The next part of his training came under Guru Nalin Sharma, under whom he learned Yogic Philosophy and spiritual growth and finally under Guru Roshan Singh, Dhirendra underwent lessons on personal growth. When his three Gurus thought he was ready, Dhirendra started the Yoga school with one goal - helping other seekers on their yogic journey to explore their full potential.

Yoga Philosophy- The Wisdom Behind the Practice

Yoga philosophy is the heart and soul of our yoga practice.It is a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and inner awakening that guides practitioners toward self-awareness, self-realization, and lasting inner peace.

In our 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) at Rishikesh Yogkulam, the study of yoga philosophy is deeply rooted in timeless sacred texts such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Upanishads. These ancient scriptures offer profound wisdom on human nature, consciousness, and the path to liberation (moksha). They emphasize ethical living, mental clarity, and spiritual evolution—key components of a holistic yogic lifestyle.

Our program provides a comprehensive exploration of these teachings. As part of the course, students engage in daily one-hour yoga philosophy sessions, which go beyond the physical postures to delve into the spiritual and intellectual foundations of yoga.

Tri Guna (the three qualities of nature: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas)
Key Sutras from both the Patanjali Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita

What Students Say About Rishikesh Yogkulam®

Andrea Gelpi

200 Hour YTTC

Yogkulam means family. They have been my family during this month of September. I have to say that this school is run from the heart, with highly qualified teachers, where I have learned from their experience and wisdom. With love and affection they have been aware of all our concerns and have taken great care of us. They are serious and professional, wanting to transmit yoga in the best way. And the views from the school are amazing. Al the best 😘

Yogkulam truly is a yoga family. Very quickly we became like a family, sharing thoughts, ideas, dreams and cultural exchange. It was such a humbling experience, the teachers were great, overall the course syllabus is very complete. I learned so much about the lifelong journey that yoga represents. It was challenging everyday but there Is nothing that I regret coming to yogkulam. The food everyday was so delicious and nutritious, Sunil really took care of us. It was such a fresh and fun training because the teachers are young and very knowledgeable. Special thanks to Amitji and Jituji, our asana and theory teachers, and my dear friends!

I recently completed my 200 hour online teacher training with Rishikesh yogkulam and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to undertake a teacher training course. Don't look any further! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, and are always available to answer any question. I loved the holistic approach to the curriculum with Hatha Asana, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Pranayama, and Meditation training. This holistic approach to teacher training helped me develop a wider perspective and learn how each is interconnected. Thank you Rishikesh yogkulam :)

What a phenomenal month-long journey to the self with these guys! Rishikesh Yogkulam went above and beyond my expectations for a TTC. All of the teachers are very relatable and extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. Going into the experience, I wanted to be able to take away as much information as I could to pass along to my future yoga students. This program really prepares you with all the tools you need and gives you the confidence you need to be an amazing yoga teacher. Thank you for sharing your culture and love of yoga with me. Rishikesh Yogkulam is an unforgettable experience. Thank you.

200 Hour YTTC

Wow!!! Having completed many courses in my life I left Yogkulam feeling inspired and wanting to learn more. The passion of ancient yogic knowledge oozes from the teachers who with love, respect and dignity hold true to what they believe and what they have been taught. They looked after my inflexible body and on my journey have knowingly or unknowingly taught me to respect and expand on the limitations which I have put on myself throughout my life. The 200Hr TTC is well thought out with great teachings on all levels of the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual aspects of life. Be inspired, feel whole and let go. We create our own walls so when you are ready free yourself. There’s only one place I can recommend in Rishikesh to study yoga and that is Yogkulam. Join the family.

If you do care more for the content than the famous name, then go for this school. Led by experienced teachers Dee and Amit in a professional way, yet very friendly atmosphere. I felt at home from the very first moment. We were a small group and thanks to it received all the attention from our teachers and got answers to all our questions. Many new inputs and inspiration for yoga practice. Premises are beautiful and the food is delicious prepared by the smiling chef :). Thank you for the unforgettable and beautiful experience!

I will highly recommend this school, with an extremely professional team of teachers. Because it's a small structure you will benefit from the best attention which is a really important point to choose a school and to progress I think. I took my training course with Amit and I can affirm he is a very good teacher, extremely knowledgeable, and overachiever. Him and all the team will take you high in your practice, your knowledge and will give you the confidence to teach your turn. Rishikesh yogkulam is a good choice!

300 Hour YTTC

I followed my previous teacher Dee for my 300 hour yoga teacher training course to his new school which he runs with Amit, both exceptional teachers. My knowledge of asana and alignment has improved especially but all the classes were brilliant. The course is intense but well worth it. The food is delicious and cooked with love every single day. The rooms are light, bright, clean and spacious. The teachers took us on excursions around rishikesh on our day off, invited us to an Indian wedding and threw a lovely birthday celebration for one of the girls on the course. My group was small and we had a very special bond with each other by the end. Can’t thank the teachers enough. I highly recommend this school.

Jennifer Santiago

500 Hour YTTC

I did a lot of research for the perfect school and I am so glad I found it! The teachers are amazing, full of knowledge, willing to help you grow, always an ear for your questions, assistance if you have any problem or health issues, respect full and always in a good mood to share wonderful experiences and memories with you. I can't say enough thank you for all your kindness and knowledge I got from all the teachers of Rishikesh Yogkulam. I definitely will be back to keep studying with all of them. And a big hug to my colleagues there was one of a kind and so happy to have shared all this experience with them too. Definitely this school is the best you can find in Rishikesh. Dhanyawad

Dhi and Amit gurujis will teach you to be both flexible and strong at the same time. I am so grateful I was able to learn from the best. They have the knowledge and passion to train you to be a better yogi and improve your practice. I have so much respect for both, and am so excited to see that they have teamed up to start a school that will optimally train your body, mind and spirit to be “healthy and happy”. I would highly recommend it to any yogi to learn from Dhi and Amit. You will gain lifelong friends, not just teachers.

Guiding principles and the sacred thread of discipline

Hello and welcome to the Yoga Teacher Training! We're excited to embark on this new journey together, where we'll nurture your body, mind, and soul. Let's make this experience truly enjoyable to reap the maximum benefits.

General Information:

To enhance your yoga practice, we kindly request that you refrain from consuming drugs, smoking, and drinking alcohol during the training.
Sundays are your day to relax and rejuvenate! We won't have any lessons scheduled, and there won’t be any meals on Sunday so you can enjoy and explore the cafes around. Additionally, all our excursions will be organized on Sundays, and we'll share the plans with you one day in advance.
If you need laundry service, don't worry; we've got you covered! You can get your laundry done at a reasonable price of 20 INR per piece. Simply reach out to our reception for more details, and please remember to pay in cash when you collect your fresh laundry.
For your comfort and convenience, our school provides room cleaning service every week. We'll keep you informed about the schedule, so you can always have a tidy space to relax in.
To stay hydrated, we have filtered water available in the kitchen area, and there's a water dispenser offering hot, cold, and normal water.
During the course, we may capture pictures and videos of our school and students. Occasionally, our school photographer might be present during classes. If you prefer not to have your photos taken, please let the admin in charge know during the orientation program.
Let's be mindful of our energy consumption! Remember to turn off all electrical appliances, such as fans, lights, heaters, and geysers, when they are not in use.
Your well-being is essential to us. In case of any medical emergency, you can contact Himanshu, Anjali, Dheeru Ji, Jittu Ji, Pankaj Ji, or Prahlad ji at any time. Please note that medical expenses are not covered by the school.
We want you to have a focused and immersive experience, so we kindly ask that no friends, relatives, or outsiders stay with the participants, unless you've informed us beforehand and received permission.
If you won't be eating at the school, please let us know in advance (at least 3 hours before) to avoid food wastage. In case you tell us at last moment or do not inform us, INR 100 would be deducted per meal.
As you immerse yourself in the Indian experience, our food options align with the local cuisine. We offer a variety of nutritious meals, including legumes as a protein source for vegetarian diets (eggs are not considered veg in India), chapati and rice as carbohydrates, cooked and raw vegetables, and fruits during breakfast. If you prefer specific products, you can explore the organic store nearby. Your profound understanding and the warmth you bring infuse a unique essence into our shared journey. Together, let's nurture Kritajna (gratitude) for the nourishing meals that is provided to us.
While using cups or glasses, please be considerate and don't leave them on the stairs or roof.
It's essential to take care of your personal belongings. Keep them in a safe place and lock your room whenever you're outside. Also, don't forget to close your windows, as we wouldn't want any monkeys dropping in unexpectedly.
To ensure the upkeep of our facilities, a deposit of 1000 INR may be requested in case of any damage or loss to the school's property. Rest assured, if everything is in order on the check-out day, the deposit will be returned to you.
Our school gate closes at 10 pm for security purposes. Please make sure you're on the premises before that time. Please remember that arriving after the closing time will be considered a violation of our institution's code.
Engaging in the sacred practice of silence and mindful consumption: we humbly request students to embrace the art of quiet reflection and mindful savoring from the waking time and during breakfast until 9 am. Following this, feel free to converse openly as usual. Throughout classes, you are welcome to pose questions at any moment.
Please maintain a professional behaviour with both staff and teachers.
Check out time is 11 am for the check out day
Let's be environmentally conscious and reduce our usage of toilet paper. All our bathrooms are equipped with jet sprays, and if you're unfamiliar with using them, just ask our friendly office staff for assistance. For the shower we advice to use the bucket as it is easier and more environmental friendly.
Power cuts are pretty common in India, especially during the summer, so just remember that during those times, your AC and water boiler won't be available.
Please avoid feeding the monkeys on the school premises, as they can sometimes get a little feisty and aggressive. Also, while strolling around Rishikesh, it's best not to eat while walking, as it might attract monkeys and cows who are quite the food enthusiasts!
During your stay, we recommend steering clear of street foods to avoid any potential tummy troubles. Stick to filtered water for drinking, and you'll be good to go! Just a friendly reminder to enjoy raw fruits and veggies in moderation as It's easy to get a tummy issue
Let's embrace the traditional Indian environment around us. To respect the local customs, it's best to refrain from public displays of affection on the school premises.
On the check-in day, no activities or meals are provided, but don't worry, everything will kick off on the 2nd day and in the meantime you can explore the several options around the campus.
if you haven't mentioned any allergies or intolerances on the arrival form, we may need to add a small extra charge of $50 (4000 INR).

Class information:

It's important to attend all classes, as we require a minimum of 100% attendance to issue your certificate. However, we understand that sometimes illness can happen, and in such cases, please inform your teachers.
The attendance register is for our teachers to handle. We kindly ask that students not fill it out themselves.
During the teacher training, you'll experience hands-on adjustments. If you're ever uncomfortable with this approach, feel any pain, or simply prefer to learn differently, please speak up. Your comfort matters!
For a focused and tranquil atmosphere, we request that you don't bring any food or drinks (except water) inside the yoga hall.
Be mindful of the time and arrive at least five minutes before class starts. This way, we can begin on time and make the most of our sessions.
During classes, let's stay away from mobile phones for external communication or social media usage. We want to create a positive and focused environment for everyone.
Please avoid lying down or sitting on your books/manuals during classes, as it's considered disrespectful to the teachers and the Indian culture.
To receive your certificate, make sure to submit your assignments by the 21st, and your exam sessions will be held between the 19th and 23rd.
We're all one big family here, so let's treat each other with respect and kindness. This includes our staff, teachers, and fellow trainees.
Maintaining a yogic atmosphere is crucial. Let's steer clear of any verbal or physical harm towards others. Any inappropriate behavior, like breaking the code of discipline, stealing, damaging school property, discrimination, or sexual harassment, will not be tolerated and could result in being declined from the course.

Bear in mind that this is an intense teacher training program, demanding both physically and mentally and following these guidelines will help to create a positive and supportive environment for everyone. Let's cherish this unique experience together and make the most of it! If you have any questions or need any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Happy learning and practicing! Namaste!
