Rishikesh Yog Dham is a traditional yoga school in the heart of Rishikesh, India, offering transformative Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) programs accredited by Yoga Alliance.
Imagine a quiet, beautiful place where you can step away from the busyness of everyday life and simply breathe. That’s Rishikesh Yog Dham—an authentic yoga space in Rishikesh, India. It’s more than a center; it feels like home—a place where anyone can find peace, clarity, and a sense of belonging.
We are a dedicated yoga teacher training school committed to nurturing the holistic growth of each student that walks in. Founded by Yogi Arvind Ji, our school goes beyond the physical practice of yoga to awaken a deeper connection between mind, body, and soul.
Just 200 meters from the sacred Ganges River, Rishikesh Yog Dham holds a peaceful yet powerful energy. The Ganges river—worshipped in India as a holy goddess—brings a calming, purifying presence to the space. Also, surrounded by the Himalayan mountains, the atmosphere encourages deep reflection and spiritual growth.
To support deeper inner work, we have also created one of Rishikesh’s first fully soundproof halls—a serene sanctuary for sound healing sessions, meditation classes, and stillness, even during the busiest seasons. This special space allows students to journey inward without distraction.
“Rishikesh Yog Dham” isn’t just a name—it means a sacred abode, a spiritual home for healing and transformation.
Through asana, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing, we guide students on an inner journey of self-discovery and awakening. We draw inspiration from revered masters like Maharishi Patanjali, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda, Swami Satyananda Saaraswati, Swami Vishnudevaananda, Swami Rama, Adi Guru Shankarcharya and Neem Karoli Baba, blending ancient wisdom with inclusive, modern methods.
Yogi Arvind Ji has devoted his life to studying and living the yogic path. His approach combines traditional practices with deep psychological insight—empowering students to access the subconscious mind and live with clarity and intention. Our aim is to foster balance, presence, and a deeper understanding of one’s inner self.
With the natural beauty of the Ganges and Himalayas all around, and the comfort of modern amenities close by, Rishikesh Yog Dham offers the best of both worlds. It is a sacred space where the spirit of yoga is alive—welcoming all who seek peace, purpose, and connection.
