I had the most memorable month at Rishikesh Yogkulam®. The teachers were absolutely excellent - extremely thorough, knowledgeable and very experienced. I can't recommend this school enough.
Amit was one of the teachers from my 200h TTC and he made a massive impression on me. In fact so much that I made sure to follow his journey and enrol for my 300h YTT at his school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge, motivating us and teaching us how to not only be teachers, but also giving us a better understanding of the yogic way of life. Often wanting to focus on the asana side of yoga, we forget the importance of the philosophy, the anatomy, the meditation and the breathing that plays such an integral part of yoga. Whether I'm going to teach after this or not, I don't know. But one thing I know for sure and that is that I am richer in so many ways. I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life.
Amit and my fellow students, I truly hope our paths will cross again. My heart feels full and warm as I think back to us dancing after our graduation. Missing you tons!

Rishikesh Yogkulam® offers various courses varying from the Beginner Level to an Advanced Level. The classes are indoor and outdoor. The indoor classes are performed in the yoga hall at our yoga school. While the classes are going on, the windows are kept open so that students get fresh air and proper ventilation and can perform yoga with greater zeal. To keep the class away from disturbance, cell phones are prohibited in the yoga hall and unnecessary talking is also not allowed.
After completing the 500-hour yoga teacher training course from Rishikesh, you would become a person with a great personality. You would get an authentic certificate from the institute, which would state that the student has completed his yoga teacher training course from a renounced institute of yoga teacher training and is entirely eligible to become a yoga instructor. The certificate would be from the Yoga Alliance, which is the top-notch yoga institute internationally.
Words can not express how amazing the quality of Yogkulam is! From the very beginning I felt like I was at home. The instructors are so awesome, especially Manu and Amit. Both of them have a true passion for teaching and it really shows up when they lead class. The other instructors do a really good job as well! I learned so much in my 300 hr, and really improved my personal yoga practice. You will be pushed both mentally and physically, but it will make you super grateful in the end!
The facilities are super nice! Having your own "room" even though it's shared is an added bonus. From the balconies, beware of the monkeys, to the bathroom, and the large, comfy beds everything is what you need to feel at home. The yoga halls are large and spacious with nice views of the mountains.
The Sunday excursions were the best! It was so much fun going out with everyone and seeing things outside of the hustle and bustle of the small city area. Connecting closer with classmates and teachers on the excursions makes the whole experience so special.
The food! The food is so, so good! The chef is an amazing cook. Every dish tastes so good, and he will cater to any allergies one may have.
Overall, I loved, loved my time at Yogkulam! I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for honest, trustworthy, hardworking teachers who really know and understand the yogic lifestyle, and how to apply it. You will not be disappointed in your choice! Love and light!

I first studied TTC from Amit Ji and Dheeru Ji 2 years ago in Rishikesh. They taught me that yoga isn’t all about asanas. If practiced correctly, yoga should create space within our minds and bodies. I decided to return to them this year because I knew I’d receive top level training. And I was right.
Rishikesh Yogkulam® trained me really hard to be a good teacher. They remembered where I left and gave me tailored advice to go forward.
I’m studying for a Masters degree while having a full time job. Practicing yoga aside was never easy. My shoulders are tight, my hips are not open, my arms are short... I have 100 reasons not to carry on. But I’m so glad I met Amit Ji. He pointed out all those “obstacles”, then he offered me an option to create the space I need. “You have better forward-bending than 2 years ago, but you can do even better.” It was the first thing he said to me after my first class this time.
I also walked away from Dheru’s Ashtanga class because of my own weakness 2 years ago. Two years later today, he taught me how to enjoy tough training with a smile. I didn’t run away this time. I now call him Master Dheru, a great teacher who put himself in students’ shoes and inspired me to be a good teacher myself.
Both Amit & Dheru kept presenting new perspectives to me. They challenged me a lot. But they also respect me. I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me.
I’m really grateful to the school because they allowed me to be me while pushing me forward. They equipped me with the tools I need to live the life I want. I’m looking forward to training with them again. Thank you!

Get Healed From Inner
In the journey of life, we encounter various experiences that shape who we are. While some moments bring joy and fulfillment, others can leave a profound impact on our emotional well-being. Past traumas, stress, grief, and anger, if left unresolved, can create blockages within our bodies, potentially leading to mental and physical illnesses. However, there is hope in the form of Emotional Release Treatment. This powerful therapeutic approach combines the use of Deep Acupressure points with Energized Breathing to facilitate the release of pent-up emotions and promote holistic healing.
Understanding Emotional Release Treatment.
Emotional Release Treatment is a therapeutic process designed to address the emotional and energetic imbalances that reside within us. It acknowledges that unexpressed emotions can manifest as physical and mental ailments, disrupting our overall well-being. This treatment approach recognizes the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and emotions, seeking to restore balance by encouraging the healthy expression and release of stored emotions.
The Role of Deep Acupressure Points.
Deep Acupressure points, also known as acupoints or energy meridians, are specific locations on the body that are believed to carry and regulate the flow of energy, or "qi." In Emotional Release Treatment, skilled practitioners apply gentle pressure to these points, stimulating the body's energy pathways and promoting the release of emotional blockages. By accessing these points, the treatment aims to restore the natural flow of energy, alleviating tension and facilitating emotional release.
The Power of Energized Breathing.
Energized Breathing is a technique that involves breathing deeply and rhythmically to increase oxygen intake and activate the emotional center of the brain, this helps body's relaxation response, reduce stress levels, and facilitate emotional healing. Conscious and intentional breathing patterns are practiced to encourage a deep sense of relaxation and release. As the breath is consciously directed, it helps to calm the mind, release stored tension, and facilitate the processing of emotions.
The Benefits of Emotional Release Treatment.

Generally, the class starts with a warm-up session, which moves forward to advance physical poses. The class is completely based on "Hatha Yoga Pradipika" and offers you an opportunity to stretch yourself in the finest lifestyle.
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.
The style is propagated by Pattabhi Jois, who learnt it from his teacher "Tirumalai Krishnamacharya". To expand it, Jois started his own Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in the year 1948. 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.
The word pranayama is the combination of two different Sanskrit words, prana (meaning life force) and yama (meaning control). One of the four Vedas of Hindu Mythology, Atharvaveda describes pranayam as the fundamental basis of life or breathing controlling energy. Other texts also describe pranayama as the control of the vital energy of the body.
Describing in simpler terms, Pranayama is a set of various practices which is done to control prana in the human body by different means, such as breathing techniques, meditative visualizations, and physical locks. There are many ancient texts describing Pranayama in different styles but with the same meaning, such as,
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.
Shatkarma is mentioned in the "Hatha Yoga Pradipika" as the cleansing technique in yoga. It is the compound of two different terms, "Shat" which means "Six" and "Karma" which means "Action". Thus, Shatkarma is the six purification techniques done to cleanse the internal organs of the body. It keeps the body healthy, strong, and clean. It removes toxins that are blocking the flow of prana in the human body.
Shatkarma makes the practice of pranayama and meditation easier for the practitioner as it removes discomfort and fatigue from the body. It should be noted that Shatkarma is practiced under an experienced guru. The six types of Shatkarma techniques are, Neti (nasal cleansing process), Dhauti (cleansing process for the alimentary canal), Nauli (cleansing practice for the abdomen), Basti (cleansing process for the large intestine), Kapalabhati (breathing technique to cleans head and nostrils), and Trataka (a cleansing technique for the eyes).
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.
