Yoga School in India - Rishikesh Yogpeeth
We as an Yoga School in India find ourselves fortunate to be existing in Rishikesh, the world capital of Yoga, a small town in India’s northern state of Uttarakhand. This is the place where the holy river Ganga comes down from the Himalayas.
Rishikesh has been a major milestone in the journey of many seekers since time immemorial and is still the same. In the revival of yoga, Rishikesh is playing a vital role, where so many people come to participate in various courses and activities of this ancient art.
It is recorded in history and tradition that yogis and seekers of India sought the solitude of the Himalayas to deepen and perfect their practice. They believed in special energy in these mountains that aided their efforts. According to the scriptures, a place that is calm & peaceful away from the hustle & bustle of the market is perfectly suited for the aspirants to gain insights and make progress on the path of Yoga.
