Curriculum Pillars

What Our Yoga Teaching Includes

Discover the pillars of Sukha Yogashala’s curriculum that connect mind, body, and soul. Our yoga teacher training at Sukha Yogashala is essentially an insightful journey into the world of ancient wisdom supplemented with contemporary knowledge.

Daily Practice of Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga
At Sukha Yogashala, we concentrate on the two primary pillars of the traditional yoga system: Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. Through Traditional Hatha Yoga, physical and mental aspects are harmonized using precisely controlled postures and alignment. Ashtanga Yoga empowers a lively practice that builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. This regular Sadhana (practice) fosters mindfulness and inner tranquility—qualities essential for any true follower of the yogic path and every future yoga teacher in Rishikesh.
Pranayama, Meditation & Spirituality Sessions
Our Pranayama and Meditation sessions facilitate deep self-connection and mental lucidity. You will learn breathing exercises designed to harmonize your energy and sharpen concentration. Complementing this, our metaphysical lectures offer space for self-reflection through secret yogic teachings. This oneness of mind, body, and spirit is the very sphere of tranquility where true transformation becomes inseparable from your Yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.
Mantra Chanting and Yogic Lifestyle Training
Purify the mind through the sacred vibration of Sanskrit mantras. Regular chanting of Om and the Gayatri Mantra at Sukha Yogashala charges our space with a divine spirit. Beyond chanting, our Yogic Lifestyle Training instills non-violence, discipline, and awareness. We teach you how to bring your meals, thoughts, and actions into congruence with yogic principles, making a deliberate and aware life your "new normal" far beyond the yoga mat.
Teaching Methodology & Practicum
Become a confident and skilled instructor with our Teaching Methodology module. This toolkit covers class structure, safe demonstration, effective time management, and compassionate communication. Through hands-on adjustments and supervised practicum sessions, you transition from a committed student into a motivating, genuine yoga teacher capable of interacting with students of all levels.
Deep Study of Yoga Philosophy & Science
Bridge ancient wisdom with modern science. We dive deep into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Additionally, our Yoga Anatomy and Physiology units teach you exactly how postures and breath influence the body's energy flow. This holistic knowledge ensures your daily practice is not only safe but spiritually enriched and ever-relevant.

Our Sacred Roots

The History of Yoga in Rishikesh, India

Rishikesh has undergone an extensive spiritual transformation to emerge as the Yoga Capital of the World. Discover the heartbeat of authentic yoga tradition.

Rishikesh's identity is eternally bound to ancient Hindu mythology. For thousands of years, the highest peaks of the Himalayas have stood as silent witnesses to the deep penance performed by sages. The story of the Yoga Capital of the World is carved by the River Ganges, believed to possess a soul-purifying energy.

8th Century

The reformer Adi Shankaracharya established Rishikesh as a retreat for Vedantic philosophy and meditation, turning caves into a sanctuary for Hatha Yoga.

1936 Revival

Swami Sivananda founded the Divine Life Society, shifting the focus to selfless service and global spiritual awakening for seekers worldwide.

Yoga Capital of the World
The Beatles

In 1968, The Beatles arrived at Chaurasi Kutia ashram, sparking an international obsession with authentic Indian yoga culture.

Modern Legacy

Swami Satyananda Saraswati bridged ancient yogic discipline with modern lifestyles, making Rishikesh a global hub.

Today, practitioners visit to learn Hatha Yoga in Rishikesh and study the intricate layers of yoga philosophy. The town remains a living museum of authentic yoga tradition where every moment is an evolution.

At Sukha Yogashala, we carry forward this lineage. The yogic culture of India is heard in the temple bells and practiced on the banks of Mother Ganges—a transmission of power that has remained authentic for centuries.
