Through yoga, all beings may develop compassion and finally realize oneness and union within everything. Further, the health benefits of Yoga are inevitable and will little by little change one´s life into a more fulfilling, meaningful, and grateful experience.

In the matter of asanas, the aim is to guide you through a stable health conscious practice that protects your body, yet helps you to build strength, stability, flexibility, concentration, awareness. Through the training one should develop a sense of harmonious sequencing, confidence, and discipline in order to build a profound base to grow as a yoga teacher.

On Sundays, Pratham yoga offers a variety of memorable trips in and around the Holy City Rishikesh. All trips are included in the package so you won't need any extra expenses. The excursions will be led by one or more of the Holy team and they will also do their best to provide you with interesting facts and stories about the places you will get to see. A few examples of the destinations are Mooni Baba Cave, Vashisht Gufa Cave, Bhoothnath Temple, Parmath Niketan Ashram, Kunjapuri Temple, Ganga Arti (sacred Ganga ritual), waterfalls, white river rafting, trekking, and unforgettable Ganga beach yoga classes.

Pratham YOGA is located about 7 - 10 kilometres away from the heart of Rishikesh. It is a laid back village area, with traditional family homes and also a tribal art village made of natural clay. There are various temples around the center and one of the world's well known Ayurveda Doctors is also located here.

The water of sacred Ganga is not only a magnet for all Hindu pilgrims, but also it is home to a big variety of animals. Every winter thousands of migrating birds from Siberia come to the outskirts of Rishikesh to find their destination to escape the freezing climate of the North of Asia. Their sound is like a background symphony embedded in the peaceful sound of the river Ganga. The birds can be observed very well from the beach in front of our Yoga Center.

Located at the outskirts of Rishikesh, one of the world’s Yoga capitals. The new building is located literally in front of the sacred Ganga river. It is away from all which brings unnecessary distraction while your YTTC or Retreat in a very calm and quiet area. Like before, Pratham yoga value a setting close to nature and green environment, which is also a great source of Prana (life force energy) to support you along your journey of yoga training and retreats.

Our Yoga courses take place in the first floor of the building, where a very spacey Yoga hall is located, as well as an amazing outdoor platform for classes to take place.

The platform has a stunning garden and Ganga view which makes it a truly special place among all schools in Rishikesh! Morning sunrise and evening sunset classes will take place on this platform, depending on the season. In the daytime, it offers a great shadow spot for your self-study and relaxes time.

WHY RISHIKESH?

• Why choose to do your teacher training in Rishikesh?

Many people who come to Rishikesh for a yoga teacher training have already heard about this place and chose it with full intention to be the place to be trained as an ongoing yoga teacher. Indeed Rishikesh became a very well-known metropolis of Yoga and especially teacher training over the last decades, but the reason for it goes back to ancient times.

Rishikesh, also known as the world's Yoga capital was ever known to be a holy place and it is considered one of the 7 holy cities in India. Ever since sages and Yogis came to Rishikesh to meditate since it is said that meditation in Rishikesh leads one to Moksha (enlightenment). Rishikesh is among the most ancient pilgrimage centers of India and often referred to as the ‘Abode of Gods’. The name of the town itself is after one of the names of Hindu God, Lord Vishnu (preserver of the universe). Rishikesh history is filled with numerous legends and mythical stories.

According to legends, the great Hindu saint Raibhya Rishi performed prolonged penance on the banks of Holy River Ganges at this place. As a reward to saint’s strong penance, Lord Vishnu appeared to him in his incarnation of Lord Hrishikesh. Thus the place got its name. During the initial medieval period in India, the place started to gain more popularity. During the 8th century Adi Shankaracharya, one of the most renowned and revered sages from India, built several temples and ashrams in the region. Unfortunately, most of the temples and ashrams were destroyed because of several earthquakes and floods that have affected the region over the centuries; however, some temples still stand tall and are reminiscent of the rich cultural heritage of the place.

Yogic values (ahimsa - nonviolence) are embedded into daily lives culture by the banks of Ganga Maa (the holy river the Ganges). Therefore Rishikesh area is kept fully vegetarian and anti-alcoholic by law. By the Banks of Ganga Maa - Gangotri the source of the holy river Ganga is not far from Rishikesh, therefore Mother Ganga is showing herself very pure and clean in Rishikesh. Don`t leave the holy city without taking a bath (only on spots for bathing). %Besides Rishikesh´s religious importance for Hindu pilgrims, it also became world famous through the visit of the well-known band The Beatles in 1968. The band stayed for several weeks at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram, in order to seek life´s deeper meaning. On their path, they learnt transcendental meditation to understand the deeper meaning behind human existence. Finally most songs of their most famous album, The White Album, where written in Rishikesh. Since their visit, millions of people from across the globe have thronged the place, either to seek answers to their own questions or to witness the remains of that historic event.
