Location

This teacher training course will be held near Laxman Jhula in Rishikesh, northern India. Situated near the main city of Rishikesh, the venue is surrounded by forested mountains. Guests will not only get a feel of fresh air to breathe in but will also get an opportunity to explore the sacredness of the land.

The divine vibrations coming from the surroundings are enhanced by the Ganges River, which enriches the entire experience. You can take a dip in this holy river and experience the divinity. Meditating here will bring you closer to the attainment of Moksha. The blissful moments are sanctified in the evening when priests conduct the famous Ganga Aarti and offer their prayers to the deity.
