A day at our Ashram

Monday - Friday

07:00 A.M.

Morning Practise

Our mornings start with traditional Hatha yoga Asanas. The morning session is usually held at our Ashram, but if the weather is pleasant and the students up for an outdoor session, we do venture out to practice Asanas at Ganga River beach, or in the forest. Cool air blowing from the river gives us the right start for the intensive day.

08:30 A.M.

Mantras and Kriyas

After the morning Asanas session, it’s time to practice pranayama or meditation for deep relaxation and improved focus. Shatkarma or Cleansing class is also conducted alternatively. The students practice the Cleansing session outside the Yoga Hall, at our garden.

09:15 A.M.

Breakfast

After a long morning of practice, it’s time to stock up on healthy nutrients. Our breakfast is sattvic and consists of fresh fruits, legumes, vegetables, sprouts, and traditional Indian cuisines. Vegan option is available to those who require it. For those who have allergies to certain foods, we make sure that the food is served as per their specifications.

10:30 A.M.

Subject Lectures / Philosophy

After breakfast, students relax for a while in the garden or their rooms. At 10:30 Yoga philosophy classes are held in which Yogacharya Vinay explores the true nature of Yoga and how it can benefit people. The classes are theoretical in nature, and all the class material is provided to the students.

Yoga Anatomy / Teaching Methodology

After Lunch, students rest for a while. In the winters students soak up the sun sitting at the Veranda. In the rains, students group in the dining hall. In the summers students spend alone time in their rooms. After an hour of rest, they all regroup for the Yoga anatomy session . It helps them understand the impact of yoga asanas on their body and how to focus on the right part of the body while performing a specific Asana.

04:30 P.M.

Evening Practise

After Anatomy, students once again start their Hatha yoga Asana practice, applying all that they have learned. Practicing Asanas is one of the key focus of the program, and over one-third of the course is composed of practical Asana sessions.

07:00 P.M.

Dinner

After the intensive and exhausting day, students gather around the dining table to share their experience with fellow students. Dinner is served at 7:15 PM and students, enjoy their meal after the demanding schedule of the day.

10:00 P.M.

Good Night

A well-rested body is absolutely necessary to make the most of the program, therefore the lights of the Ashram are switched off at 10:30 PM, giving full 8 hours to the students to rejuvenate themselves and prepare for the next day.

Based in Tapovan, the Jeevmoksha Institute of Yoga Studies, a traditional yoga teacher training school in Rishikesh, is located at a natural and cozy ambience in the foothills of Himalayas.

The center offers yoga classes that are a fine blend of physical and mental techniques to carve out a complete set of practice for as a whole. The gurukul offers intensive yoga teacher training courses thereby enabling students to draw their own scales of self practice and development. It operates in an ashram environment which includes a dedicated space for yoga training and offers a wide range of knowledge on ancient systems of self-healing and well-being. Yoga, Ayurveda, Nature cure and other systems of actual health are combined together in the education programs to enable more and more people to understand them and share them in their own communities. This virtue makes Jeevmoksha a unique spot for the study of Yoga in India.
