In the Vedic literature, Rishikesh is often described as Devbhoomi – the abode of God. It is indeed an escape from the worldly mess of chaos, and an understanding of clarity. We at the Yogshala Yoga School integrate the deliberate teachings of the Vedas and Upanishads, amalgamating them with the Yoga Sutras to permeate in you a plethora of perspectives earlier unvisited by your Mind. Our techniques are inspired from the unshakeable Mountains of the Himalayan Ranges and the unstoppable energy of River Ganga herself.

E-RYT 200

Course Director
Hatha-Ashtanga, Pranayama, Yoga Philosophy, Mantra Chanting

Yogi Indresh Batra (EYRT 200) has been a seeker of yoga knowledge since childhood. His belief in Yoga science as one of the original Indian knowledge for evolution of human spirit has been unflinching. Contrary to our current template of Yoga, primarily being positioned as a physical exercise with some breathing to unsuspecting seekers, he has practiced as a tool of self transformation with spiritual involvement.

Yog is increasingly loosing its majestic status with deep spiritual and philosophical insights to modern day positioning of either difficult physical postures or abstract things like Kundalini and magic without any reference to texts or Practicing sages.

He has been a leading global entrepreneur and now wants to take up the cause of spreading the knowledge of authentic Yog as referenced in the texts, he has set up Yogshala in Rishikesh.

He has spent significant time with leading Yog Gurus in understanding the subtle concepts all stages of Ashtanga Yoga. He has special focus on Pranayama, Yoga Sutras and Tantra Darshan. He is A dikshit in Sri Vidya, the esoteric royal path in Tantra and loves to talk about this great Indian wisdom with aspiring Sadhakas.

Azad was inspired to explore his own personal yoga practice after realizing the transformative benefits he could developmentally, spiritually and physically. He began teaching yoga five years later, with a strong desire to share his knowledge with others. He first started teaching yoga retreat programs being conducted by his gurus, and later began teaching yoga asana alignment and methodology at teacher training programs around India.

Azad studied Yoga at the famous International Vishwaguru School of Yoga Vedniketandham in Rishikesh, India. He completed his 200-hour and 300-hour teacher training from Rishikesh Yog Peeth, Rishikesh, India, and is a registered yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance, USA.

Azad’s strong foundation in asana methodology and teaching inspires his students at Rishikesh Yog Peeth to explore their own personal practice at a more profound level. He grounds himself in peace and compassion through a steady and consistent meditation practice to balance out his asana practice.
