The style is propagated by Pattabhi Jois, who learned it from his teacher "Tirumalai Krishnamacharya". To expand it, Jois started his own Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in the year 1948.

Pranayama
Pranayama is the practice of inhaling and exhaling breath regulation. Pranayama is derived from the Sanskrit words “Parna” and “Yama” which means life energy and control. You intentionally breathe in and breathe out air to achieve the benefits of Pranayama.
The word Pranayama is made up of Prana + Ayama. This means, controlling your breath and the expansion of breath is called Pranayama. The flow of life force in our body gives us life force. Pranayama is the easiest way to keep our bodies alive and our minds strong. Through pranayama, we understand the depth and seriousness of yoga and we learn to control our breath. Controlling the breath depends on our Prana. Pranayama is one of the eight limbs of yoga. The eight limbs of yoga are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.

Yoga Philosophy
This propagates the idea of yoga as a way of thinking that benefits from rehearses. The yoga philosophy or the way of thinking about yoga helps you achieve harmony and tranquillity in life and brings unending joy, physical and mental stability, and great thinking power. This course helps you to understand the reasonings for yoga.
Maharishi Patanjali is the founder of Yoga philosophy. Yoga philosophy is one of the six theistic philosophies (Shad Darshanas). The first book of this philosophy is the Yoga Sutras. Yoga philosophy is also known as Seshvara Sankhya or Theistic Sankhya. Because it accepts almost all the beliefs of Sankhya in relation to life and the world. Also, it accepts the existence of God. In yoga philosophy, God is described as a special power who remains unaffected by tribulation, karma, result, ideal, culture, etc. Its function is not to provide liberation, but only to remove obstacles from the path of the seeker. The Bhagavad Gita is also called Yoga Shastra i.e. the manual of Yoga.

Alignment and Adjustment
While performing certain asanas, you might feel stress on your muscles. Don't worry if you feel so because it is normal. Wear and tear on joints and muscles while getting into the practice of yoga is not a big. No matter whether you're a beginner or experienced, you can experience some sudden or sharp pain in a particular pose. This can sometimes lead to injury. Don't get scared! To avoid the risk of injuries and pain, Alignment classes are organized.
So, what exactly an alignment class is? In an Alignment class, you will learn the precise and ideal way to perform any given pose so that you can get maximum benefits from it and minimize the risk of injury. It normalizes the use of props and modifications during yoga asanas. When you get to know alignment, then you can make any pose work for you.

Sathkarma
The six inward cleanings and purging practice that brings in the benefits of a rich experience in yoga is called Shatkarma. It is a magnificent practice that addresses different parts of the body like the sensory system, the stomach, the circulatory system, the respiratory system, etc. This practice makes the yoga experience profound and rich.
The origin of the word Shatkarma is from the combination of these two words "Shat" and "Karma". In this, Shat means six and Karma means actions. Thus Shatkarma means 'six actions'. Here Shatkarma refers to the six special actions through which the body is purified. In Hatha Yoga, these six types of purification actions are called Shatkarma. Maharishi Gherand has described six Shatkarmas as the first part of Yoga in the Gherand Samhita. They believe that without the practice of Shatkarma, no seeker can achieve success in the path of Yoga. First of all purification of the body is necessary. Without purification of the body, it is difficult for the seeker to move forward in following other parts of yoga. That's why Maharishi Gherand has accepted Shatkarma as the first part of yoga.

Meditation
The art of meditation forms an integral part of the course. Meditation involves calming the entire body and mind of the individual. The course each day is challenging and requires practicing new skills. Meditation helps to stay stress-free and acquire those skills to the best of one's capabilities.
Meditation is a way through which you can come out of your stressful life and improve your lifestyle. In today's time, people mostly go through mental illness, and their daily routine gets disturbed. People associated with yoga are most aware of this mindfulness practice because they do not forget to include it in their daily routine. Therefore, listening to your breath or listening to the sound of birds clearly while in the posture of dhyana is meditation, but when you do not experience anything else while in this posture, then you are in the right state of meditation.

As a teacher, Deepa ji focuses largely on Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Mantra Chanting, and Laughing Yoga. She has fondly been teaching 200 hours and 300 hours of Yoga teacher training courses at various prestigious yoga schools for more than 12 years.

Sadhushri Ji
Sadhu Shri Ji has a deep knowledge in philosophy owing to his specialization in Indian Philosophy. He has studied Patanjali Yoga Sutra, Upanishads, and Buddhist literature in depth which has contributed immensely to his knowledge of philosophy and history. Now, for many years, the Yoga Guru has been sharing his valuable experience of philosophy with his students along with teaching his students on how to use the knowledge in day-to-day routine life with the help of practical approach backed by reasoning.
Dhirendra Ji
Born in the lap of the Holy Ganga, at the feet of the Bhootnath Shiva Temple, amidst the forests of the Himalayas, Dhirendra reveals himself as a nature lover and spiritual seeker. Having started his schooling at the tender age of 5, from one of the oldest, most iconic and traditional schools of Rishikesh, Dhirendra believes he was drawn to Yoga by a mystical force as he practiced asanas during the physical education lessons in school. He began to live the yogic way of life from that early age and embraced spirituality as his routines began with dedicatead yoga pratice.
Location
The school is situated in the heart of Rishikesh, next to the famous hanging bridge and the holy Ganga (the holy river). The school is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful green mountains. Everything is close to the school such as shops, cafes, restaurants, ATMs, healthcare, and organic stores.
Food
Everyday, Rishikesh Yogkulam will provide freshly made vegetarian meals as part of the program, with a focus on maintaining hygiene and utilizing organic vegetables. Rishikesh Yogkulam is renowned worldwide for its delectable and diverse cuisine. They firmly believe in the Ayurvedic proverb, "When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need."
While many wonder if practicing yoga itself is sufficient, at Rishikesh Yogkulam, they emphasize that yoga is not just a practice but a way of life. When combined with healthy eating habits, the benefits can be truly transformative. Your food choices not only impact your physical well-being, but also your emotions and thoughts. In yoga, food is not classified based on proteins, carbohydrates, or fats, but rather on their effects on the body and mind: Satva, Rajas, and Tamas.
Tamasic food induces lethargy and sluggishness, while Rajasic food brings about restlessness Sattvic food, on the other hand, nourishes both the body and mind. It has a purifying effect, promoting clarity and calmness. Sattvic foods activate the body and mind, infusing them with energy and enthusiasm. Rishikesh Yogkulam considers cooked food consumed within 3 to 4 hours as Sattvic, aligning with its beneficial properties.
In addition to this, Rishikesh Yogkulam places great emphasis on maintaining high standards of hygiene within the institution. The aim is to ensure that the food they provide is not only safe but also possesses excellent nutritional value, which is essential for a healthy and fulfilling life. However, it is important to note that it is not just the selection of appropriate food that matters; consuming the right quantity of food at the appropriate times is equally crucial for optimal well-being.
