About Satvik Yogashala
About Us
Satvik Yogashala is an orthodox yoga school which is situated in the religious city of Rishikesh which is popularly referred to as the Yoga Capital of the World. Satvik Yogashala is situated amid tranquil Himalayan foothills and the holy Ganges River, which has completed the perfect environment to allow students to learn, practice and experience yoga in its original nature.
Our school is committed to teaching the traditional teachings of yoga in an easy, traditional and supportive atmosphere. At Satvik Yogashala, we are of the opinion that yoga is not only physical work but it is an all round practitioner that works with body, mind, and spirit. Students study traditional asana practice, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology through arranged training programs. These lessons can transform the students into strong practitioners of yoga and those who can spread the yoga to others.
Satvik Yogashala accepts students who are present in different parts of the world as long as they want to know more of yoga and to enjoy the yogic way of life in the natural birthplace of yoga. Our teachers are very experienced and treat every student carefully and with passion as the learning environment they achieve is friendly where everyone can learn and change through yoga.
Our Mission & Our Goal
Our mission here in Satvik Yogashala is to maintain and distribute the original knowledge of yoga with its cleanest and traditional versions. It is based on the holy ground of Rishikesh that we are committed to leading the students to the path of self-awareness, inner balance, and spiritual awakening through the disciplined practice and conscious living.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a nurturing and inspiring environment where students from around the world can experience yoga as a complete lifestyle — not just a physical exercise. Through our 100 Hour, 200 Hour, and 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training programs, we aim to:
- Provide authentic yogic education based on traditional Hatha, Ashtanga, and Kundalini teachings
- Develop confident, knowledgeable, and compassionate yoga teachers
- Encourage self-discipline, mindfulness, and holistic well-being
- Promote a sattvic lifestyle based on simplicity, purity, and harmony
We believe yoga is a path of transformation that connects body, mind, and soul. Our teachings are designed to help students build a strong foundation in asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology.
What Does “Satvik” Mean?
Overview
The word Satvik (or Sattvic) comes from the ancient philosophy of yoga and Ayurveda, where the universe is believed to be influenced by three fundamental qualities known as the Gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. The sattva is the purity, balance, harmony, and clarity. The satvik way of life is the one leading to peace, positivity and spiritual development. It promotes a lifestyle that takes care of the mind and the body by feeding on healthy foods, having positive thoughts, having a disciplined practice and having a cool environment.
Everything we do at Satvik Yogashala is related to this philosophy. In the serene learning environment as well as in the nutritious yogic food and the daily yoga sessions, we will strive to provide a sattvic environment wherein the students can experience the inner balance and personality change.
