One Destination, Many Paths, One Journey

About Yoga Teacher Training School in Rishikesh, India - Rishikesh Yogkulam

Rishikesh Yogkulam was founded in 2018, born from the vision of Dhirendra Bisht and Amit Payal. Having seen their city change in recent years, Dhirendra and Amit wanted to start a school that truly focused on Yoga and its traditional principles. Today there are thousands of schools in Rishikesh and across the globe, that cater to the increasing stream of students and spiritual seekers from all around the world. This has led most schools to interest themselves in simply making Yoga a money oriented business at the expense of quality.

The two cousins, born and raised in Rishikesh, wanted people to understand and recognize Yoga for its essence and origin. It was this passion that motivated them to start a school with an unmatched level of education. Their mission is to prepare and shape students looking for the true meaning and practices of Yoga and to share this authentic age-old science and knowledge that has been passed down as a legacy through the inhabitants of this plentiful town.

The name Rishikesh Yogkulam denotes a unification of the name of the city Rishikesh - the world capital of Yoga and “Yogkulam” which means Yoga family. Amit and Dhirendra chose this name to amplify the core values of familial bonding and instill the same sense of togetherness in their students. These students seldom remain only students and become an integral part of this Yoga family in Rishikesh.

Rishikesh Yogkulam

Yogkulam also signifies ancestry, referring to Amit and Dhirendra having studied under great masters, who follow the discipline of Yoga according to its ancient origins and traditions. Together, all this represents the foundation of the teachings imparted to the two cousins which in turn is passed on from student to student over the years.

The six values of Rishikesh Yogkulam are as follows:

  • Rishikesh Yogkulam offers a holistic learning programme which explores Yoga not only as a physical practice but also as a lifestyle and spiritual practice.
  • Rishikesh Yogkulam specializes in creating courses for small groups to ensure that each student gets the fullest individual attention from every teacher.
  • Rishikesh Yogkulam strongly believes that Yoga is for everyone irrespective of ethnicity or age. It doesn’t matter where you start; what matters is what you learn along the journey. You don’t need to be young, flexible or strong. You just need to be you.
  • Rishikesh Yogkulam strives to convey the authenticity and importance of Yoga teachings on and off the mat and to create a space to practice the art of Yoga with a mindful, encouraging community.
  • The purpose of Rishikesh Yogkulam is to train future teachers and educate new students in the principles of Yoga.
  • Security first! This is the philosophy of the school and it is the reason why a great emphasis is put on the alignment classes.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

A once in a lifetime experience, very well crafted and packaged with a lot of love and affection. The team is motivated towards helping everyone achieve the collective goal. 360 degree perspective on the entire circle of Indian philosophy which gives a deeper understanding of what you are doing and why you are doing.Even after the course ends you may leave physically but mentally you are still in Yogkulam."You can check out anytime you like but you may never leave"Highly recommended school.

  • 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.
