The 500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training course in Rishikesh offers the students in-depth knowledge through theoretical learning while offering expertise in the postures and asanas with dedicated classes on each style of yoga.
Hatha Yoga is one of the ancient practices of yoga which is considered to offer spiritual perfection. This style of yoga is mainly focused on the postures and breathing techniques that help in relaxing the mind. During the class, our teacher will guide the students to perform it properly concerning understanding the body's strength and flexibility. This is a great style to incorporate into your daily practice as it not only improves flexibility and strength but also helps in relaxing and calming the mind.
K. Pattabhi Jois developed a modern-day form called Ashtanga Yoga in the mid-20th century, an energetic practice of mindful movements with breath awareness. Ashtanga Yoga is a self-assisted series but when you are learning from an experienced teacher then you will understand the right way to do all the asanas in the series. Despite being a physical practice, Ashtanga yoga promotes mental clarity and inner peace, making it a challenging workout.
Vinyasa Flow style is one of the most advanced and intensive forms of yoga. It focuses on the strength of your body and breathing. Vinyasa Flow have the movement sequences with focus on the breath. Vinyasa Flow is all about the deep inhale and exhale of your breath as you move from one posture to the other.
Yin yoga is based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang, opposite and complementary principles in nature. Yin yoga works deeply into your body with passive, longer-held poses. The practice of Yin yoga is a transformative journey of self-discovery that gives practitioners unprecedented access to the deeper realms of the mind and body.
Following the traditional and authentic practices of yoga, our schools prioritize health by offering knowledge about cleansing the body internally and externally. Shat Karma is a practice in Yoga where practitioners clean their body using various techniques to improve immunity and balance between mind and body. The students with the 100-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh will learn the right methods for performing various techniques to cleanse their bodies.
Pranayama or the method of rhythmic breathing is a style of yoga, where using different techniques of breathing we fulfil the requirement of the body and purify it. The concentration over breathing not only helps in delivering the right amount of oxygen or detoxifying but also helps in improving and deepening the connection of the mind with the body while improving calmness and concentration. The course will help the student learn different locks, styles and mudra for the practice of pranayama.
Mudras are the gestures that help in channelising and distributing the pranas in the body. Most of the Mudras are done with hands but there are other different mudras also. Mudras should be performed under the guidance of expert teachers.
While doing yoga, your body generates a lot of energy or prana. With mudra, channel this energy, and with bandhas, control and maintain it in the body to prevent it from draining. When done right, the bandhas can also help awaken the Kundalini.
Meditation is one of the best practices of yoga which offers great self-control while improving mind strength. The practice introduces you to deeper enlightenment leading to better concentration and focus. The human brain is functional even when we sleep, but with the right techniques and practices, we can control it and eliminate the external disturbance. The classes of meditation by our teachers will help the students unlock a wide spectrum of inward journeys and a heightened sense of awareness with mental clarity.
Yoga Nidra (psychic sleep) is sleeping in awareness in such a way that takes you from a conscious state to a superconscious state of awareness. The goal is to shut out the five senses so the mind can attain pratyahara.

Meals of a yogic diet have been served at the Gurukul Yogashala in Rishikesh. Getting started with yoga is easier with the help of our gluten-free, yogic diet. The meal, together with the detox tea and juices, contains a good balance of nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium, and other minerals. We believe that Meditation loses its efficacy when consumed alongside unhealthy eating. Meditation is unnecessary when the diet is healthy. What we eat has a significant impact on our ability to meditate and practice yoga.

Gurukul Yogashala - 500 Hour YTTC
 |
 |
A Yoga Alliance certified school is one that has met the standards set by Yoga Alliance, a globally recognized organization that sets guidelines for yoga teacher training programs and registers both individual yoga teachers (RYTs) and yoga schools (RYSs).
My name is Laura Olivia and I live in Canada, one of the reasons I came to India was to learn yoga. At first, I didnt intend to do 200 hours of yoga teacher training but seeing the course syllabus on their website and the good reviews I tried it for 24 days and I dont regret it one bit. We were received very warmly with a fire ceremony and delicious and a healthy satvic dinner.
These are the people who change lives. I'm so grateful for the 3-day yoga retreat I attended at Gurukul Yogashala. It was everything I hoped for and more. 3 days seems like such a short time, but the retreat offers various outings and activities to make you feel like you've really gotten a taste of this holy city. Rishikesh is such a beautiful backdrop for transformation.
Hi, my name is Robin, and I am coming from Montreal! I really enjoyed doing my YTTC with Gurukul Yogashala. I have been able to understand what's a correct posture, even the simplest one ;) Arvind was able to challenge and motivate me. Before coming to this centre I read various book about yoga, but it's only during these 24 days that I have been able to fully catch what yoga actually is.
