Benefits Of Yoga?
Yoga has not only brought a new wave of health and awareness throughout the world but it has also reformed the lifestyle of today’s generation. This ancient practice is rooted deeply within old Indian philosophy, believed to have originated during the Vedic times, it was first mentioned in the “Rig-Veda” and has several references in the “Upanishads.” The first comprehensive text on the subject was “Yoga Sutra of Patanjali,” given by Guru Patanjali, who is known as the first Yogic Guru in history.

Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga In Rishikesh
Ashtanga (also spelled Astanga) means “eight limbs” in Sanskrit, which refers to the eight limbs of yoga laid out in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Ashtanga method stresses daily vinyasa flow practice using ujjayi breathing, mula bandha, uddiyana bandha, and drishti. There are six different Ashtanga series, through which a student progresses at his or her own pace. The first, or primary, series is described in “Yoga Mala.” The primary series is called Yoga Chikitsa, which means yoga therapy.

Team Work
The most unique feature of the AYR is the wholehearted dedication that our entire team has to the practice of yoga. Our entire team works hand in hand for the upliftment of yoga and to spread the real beauty of this magnificent treasure of our Indian culture throughout the world like a family.

Location
The AYR is located at the most people-friendly location in the city, it is easy to reach for the non-locals and its picturesque and innate surroundings attract loads of yogis, making it a popular establishment in just one year. The centre has an airy hall to conduct the sessions and the view of the river Ganga flowing down from the mountains in its mighty form in the background.

Our Trainees
Furthermore, we have extremely insightful trainers who believe in making your journey of learning both intriguing and amusing. Our teaching techniques have a very vocal approach involving discussions on every minute detail of the various asanas and kriyas, their modifications, and practical learning of the various tools used as a catalyst in performing some asanas.

Good Environment
Trainees also take a class of their fellow mates as a teacher, for their betterment. Thus, our yoga teacher training courses, keep our trainees involved at all levels of learning throughout the course which not only helps them reach excellence but also widens their perspective, as quoted by the infamous Benjamin Franklin; “Tell me and I Forget. Teach me and I Remember. Involve me and I Learn.”
