One week since graduation for our 200 hours batch 🌿 (7-28Jul 2025)

Emotion, Memories. Some couldn’t join the final celebration, but were deeply in our hearts, and received their certificate the day before, we're thinking about and

Over these 21 days, we all learned, students and staff alike.
So many cultures, personalities, and yet… one shared path: Yoga.

A space of growth, humility, connection.
Already missing this beautiful group 🧡

What is art of visualisation?
It’s about being fully present, with someone, and then with their image inside you.

It unfolds in 2 simple steps:
• External Observation
Sit across from a partner. In silence. Look at them from feet to head. Notice their posture, their breath, their presence.
Let your gaze soften. Let the moment settle.

• Inner Visualization
Close your eyes.
Imagine the same person, as if wrapped in a cloth.
No longer in front of you, but within you.
Recreate their image in your mind’s eye.

✨ What are the effects?
– Deepened focus
– A surprising sense of connection
– Sharpened inner awareness
– A peaceful, sometimes emotional, inner silence.

You may feel calm. You may feel exposed.
You may even feel love, discomfort, recognition.

Because seeing someone, truly seeing them, is never just about the eyes.

Try it. And let yourself be seen too.

👁️ Save this to revisit the practice.

Easter Sunday, a moment of celebration around the world 🌍

In many countries today is chocolate, bells, bunnies and family gatherings 🍫🐰

In others, a time of prayer, reflection, sunrise ceremonies, and spring rituals ✨🌸

Even here, in the ashram, where people from india and all other the world are staying, the spirit of renewal is felt 🌿

Across faiths and paths, rebirth is universal.

Happy Easter to all 🌞🕊

(We are not here to represent any one religion.
This is a space of unity
A space where all paths are welcome.
In the end, we are all walking toward light.
In our own way.
Together.)

At Rishikesh Yogpeeth, we start our practice with intention, including the intention to be respected.
Before every class, you’re invited to choose one, not only for your practice, but also for how you wish to be assisted, and place the sticker next to your mat.

These little tags carry a big message:

✔️ “Yes please. You’re welcome in my space to adjust and assist me.”
❌“No thank you. The guidance of your voice is enough today.”

Yoga is not just about the poses.
It’s about presence, respect and choice, on and off the mat.

🧘‍♀️ What would you choose today?

🙏Welcome to the new batch! 🙏
A new journey begins here at the ashram, filled with practice, learning, and spirituality ✨

You may have already witnessed the Havan (fire ceremony), or you will soon… 🔥
But do you truly know what it means?

This ritual is performed on special occasions to invoke the divine presence, purify the environment and promote spiritual well-being.

Participants recite mantras while offering items such as ghee, grains and herbs into the fire, symbolising devotion and connection with the divine.

It is traditionally held on the arrival of a new intake of students for several reasons:

- Purifying the environment: Fire is considered a purifying element that eliminates negative energies, creating an atmosphere conducive to learning and spiritual development.
- Invocation of divine blessings: By reciting mantras and making offerings, participants solicit the grace and protection of the deities for the success and well-being of students throughout their educational journey.
- Strengthening spiritual connection: Participating in a Havan helps students and teachers connect with their inner selves and increase their spiritual awareness, fostering a more holistic approach to education.

During a Havan ceremony, offerings are made to the sacred fire by reciting the mantra "Swāhā". This Sanskrit term, often translated as "I offer myself", is pronounced at each offering to symbolise devotion and self-submission to the divine.

The hand gestures, particularly the position of the fingers, are also significant. They vary according to tradition and spiritual school, but their common purpose is to channel energy and accompany the mantra to reinforce the intention of the offering.

Thus, the combination of the mantra 'Swāhā' and the specific finger gestures during the offering to the sacred fire embodies the total devotion and deep connection with the divine in the practice of Havan.
