Rishikesh Excursion | A Part of the Yogic Journey 🌿
Learning at our yoga school in Rishikesh goes beyond the yoga hall.

During our excursions, students step into nature, observe local culture, and experience the calm rhythm of life by the Ganga and the Himalayas.

These moments help students relax, bond as a group, and understand yoga as a way of living—not just a daily practice on the mat.

Simple walks, quiet surroundings, shared smiles, and mindful presence make this experience truly meaningful.
🧘 Yoga is learned in practice, silence, and experience.

With the hands clasped behind the back, this posture releases tension from the shoulders and spine while strengthening the legs and improving posture.

A balanced blend of effort and ease that encourages inner calm and mindful awareness.

Acro Yoga teaches us more than movement — it builds confidence, communication, and mutual support. Each posture becomes a reminder that growth happens when we trust ourselves and others.

Practicing Acro Yoga at the banks of the Ganga during our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Gurukul Yogashala is an experience beyond words. Surrounded by flowing water, fresh Himalayan air, and divine energy, students explore balance, trust, strength, and connection.

This session blends playfulness with discipline, grounding the body while uplifting the spirit — a beautiful balance of tradition and modern practice in the heart of Rishikesh.

Breathe in peace, let stillness flow,
Stretching where the soft winds go.
Mind and body, calm and free,
Yoga brings the soul to be.
