Objective of Yoga Teacher Training In Rishikesh India

The Indian culture has always been blessed with the sacred knowledge of yoga. Rishikesh is blessed with this Yogic culture and is a perfect setting to immerse oneself in it. This makes it our duty to spread this blessing thus making the world a healthy, happy and peaceful place to live in.

Our Yoga Teaching provides students with a lot of interactive sessions making Yoga practice easy to relate to. Yoga is the evolution of the mind consciously and practice of Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation, Mudras, etc. these all are the keys to reach a blissful state and this can be obtained by understanding the concept of self-practice and self-awareness of body-mind.

At the Upasana Yoga School Yoga Teacher Training, we blend the traditional forms of yoga with modern explanations. This makes our teaching easy and approachable. This ancient knowledge of yoga reaches humanity by way of the Guru-Disciple tradition. So, we too follow this same tradition brought down by our great sages when we impart our knowledge and experience of yoga to you.

Be it Asana, Pranayama, Meditation or Mantra, the aim is to let the mind consciously move the body and achieve a natural flow. This creates a bridge between the body, mind and breath. Once this physical, mental & spiritual awareness is attained, the breath gets controlled and Energy/Prana-Shakti is channelized. One can now feel and understand the rhythm of life more easily and the delusion of thinking that Body and Mind are two different things is removed, because “the body is mind and mind is body”.

Upasana Ji, The Founder Of Upasana Yoga School,Rishikesh

Her Philosophy on yoga teaches us beyond just physical well-being; it is more about unlocking the power of our subconscious mind. It is an exploration of our inner self that seeks to bring us closer to understanding our true nature. He states, “Yoga creates a rhythm between mind and body that leads to an understanding of our true self”. Guru Ji has dedicated his life to the practice of yoga and its philosophy, combining ancient teachings with modern-day techniques and tools to create an inclusive environment for all.

You are the greatest form of energy & that energy travels through several mediums (situations) before it takes the shape of your desired reality. No matter how difficult life is, you have the power to create your own destiny. Yoga is one way to achieve your desired reality as it taps into the source of your own inner power & awakens the yogi in you.

“Vesh, bhusha, aur bol se pare hai ek yogi, yogi ki asli pehchaan uski shakti se hoti hai. 

Meaning: A yogi is beyond his looks and overall appearance since the real identity of a yogi comes from his power.”

When it comes to Yoga, any place that manages to touch you internally , be it mental or emotional , is a good place to learn and to be grateful for and Upasana Yoga School is 1 such place. The people of this place, who manage it, run it & teach here- they are a family and they make you their family by the love & responsibility they share for their students. I'm someone who has done multiple TTCs and yet I was able to learn so much more especially from the Asana classes that are really good, technical & detailed. The excursions that they took us on are going to stay with us forever. The extra activities like sound healing and Kirtan were amazing experiences that were healing on so many different levels. We'll forever be grateful to Ashish ji, Tanu ji, Vinay ji, Rahul ji, Vikas ji, Shivam ji, Deepak, Prithvi, Arushi and the staff for their kindness and support.

I always wanted to do a Yoga teacher training course while I was teaching English abroad. My mum introduced me to the wonderful practice of yoga 10 years ago when I was 24 years old. No matter where I am in the world or whatever challenges I face, Yoga has always been my grounding practice. 18 months postpartum, after the birth of my miracle baby boy, I was searching for yoga courses and I gratefully came across the course by Upasana Yoga School. The content by Upasana Yoga School is extremely well spaced out, it is so helpful being a busy mum and I would look forward to my time every day when I would be able to practice an learn. The course is affordable and the guru’s have put through so much knowledge in helping us grow. It’s been a massive transformative journey with understanding myself and every aspect of Yoga. This course is highly recommended and if you have no intention of teaching yoga do this course for yourself. You will gain so much depth and a massive spiritual awakening that is life changing.

Just finished the 200H TTC and I am so grateful I choose this school. The teachers were amazing so knowledgeable and helpful. Throughout the course they would answer any question, go over and beyond to help me understand about asanas, yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, meditation and offer their support whenever I needed to. I came here having experience of 3 years doing yoga and even in the first day I was blown away by how much I actually didn't know and how much more knowledge I could get out of this course. The facilities of the school were amazing, the food provided was always super tasty and made with so much care. And most importantly the psychological support and positive reinforcement I got from Ashish, Tanu and all the teachers really made me feel like I was part of their yoga family. If you are looking for not just a yoga class but a life changing experience you should book this school without a second thought.

I'm doing the 200 hours yoga teaching training course and I have been discovering that yoga is a lot more than I thought. It has been a rewarding and enchanting experience. All the teachers instruct very well and are so dedicated to what they do. I recommend the online course for people who can manage their own time, for you can study whenever you want, but there is a necessity to separate a time to the readings and videos, for in the course there is a lot of content, which I'm in love with.

A life changing experience to live. Teachers are amazing, highly professional and knowledgeable. If you are planning to create a discipline in your life with yoga, this is the place to be. The food is fully vegetarian and healthy with variety of meals. The institute is run by a family so you feel that in every step of your journey in the course, you have someone to take care of you. The accommodation is clean, hygienic and the cleaning service happens everyday, laundry service is also there in case you need.

Namaste 🙏 I've completed my 200 hours teacher training course at Upasana Yoga School. To begin with, searching for a good yoga institute is a daunting task. I'm super glad that I chose Upasana Yoga School - it is undoubtedly one of the best yoga institutes in Rishikesh. Period. I was awestruck by the sheer hardwork and sincerity by the staff and faculty to make you feel home and comfortable from day one. The teachers are really knowledgeable and are subject matter experts in their respective fields. Food was delicious and apt for yoga practice. The course was nicely balanced including theory and practicals with enough emphasis on teaching methodology. During our day offs, weekend excursions and fun events were organized, which really rejuvenated the mind and induced a sense of camaraderie among students. I would highly recommend Upasana Yoga School. Definitely coming back again in future for 300 hour course. Thanks! 🙂
