Our Ashram
The Vinyasa Yoga Academy ashram is situated in the spiritual heartland of Rishikesh, India, widely revered as the Yoga Capital of the World. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas and along the sacred banks of the river Ganges, our ashram provides the ideal setting for deepening your yoga practice and embarking on a journey of self-discovery. The serene natural surroundings, the gentle sound of the flowing Ganges, and the timeless energy of this ancient land come together to create a truly transformative environment.
Our ashram is located in the peaceful Laxman Jhula area of Rishikesh, one of the most spiritually significant regions in all of India. The famous Laxman Jhula suspension bridge, ancient temples, and the flowing waters of the Ganges are all just moments away. Each morning you will wake to the sound of temple bells, birdsong, and the gentle rush of the river. The Himalayan foothills that surround our campus offer breathtaking views and endless opportunities for nature walks, meditation in the open air, and quiet contemplation.
Rishikesh has drawn seekers, sages, and yogis for thousands of years. It is here that great rishis and saints practised tapas on the banks of the Ganges, and where the living traditions of yoga, Vedanta, and meditation continue to flourish. By choosing to practise at our ashram, you become part of this unbroken lineage, surrounded by the same mountains, rivers, and spiritual atmosphere that have inspired countless practitioners before you.
Ashram Facilities
Our ashram campus has been thoughtfully designed to support your practice and well-being throughout your stay. Every aspect of the space, from the open-air yoga shalas to the quiet garden pathways, reflects our commitment to creating an environment where students can learn, grow, and heal. We provide comfortable private rooms with attached bathrooms, 24-hour water supply, and hot water in the mornings and evenings. Wholesome, freshly prepared vegetarian meals are served daily in our communal dining area, nourishing the body as the practice nourishes the mind and spirit. Whether you are here for a 200 hour teacher training, a short retreat, or a longer immersion, the ashram is your home away from home.

Life At The Ashram
Life at the Vinyasa Yoga Academy ashram follows a traditional daily rhythm designed to support your physical, mental, and spiritual growth. Each day begins early with pranayama and meditation as the sun rises over the Himalayas, followed by a dynamic morning asana session. After a nourishing breakfast, students attend philosophy lectures, anatomy classes, and teaching methodology workshops. The afternoon brings a second practice session, and evenings are devoted to kirtan, mantra chanting, or quiet self-study.
The ashram atmosphere is one of warmth, discipline, and community. Students from all over the world come together here, forming lasting bonds as they share meals, practise side by side, and support one another through the challenges and breakthroughs of intensive training. Our experienced teachers live on campus and are always available for guidance, whether you need help with a difficult posture, clarity on a philosophical concept, or simply someone to talk to.
Beyond the structured schedule, there is plenty of time for personal reflection, journaling by the river, exploring the local temples and markets of Rishikesh, or joining weekend excursions to nearby waterfalls, caves, and sacred sites in the Himalayan foothills. At Vinyasa Yoga Academy, the ashram is not just a place to study yoga; it is a place to live it, breathe it, and carry it forward into the world.
