Why Siddhant School of Yoga?
If you are searching for the best yoga teacher training school in Rishikesh, India, it will be difficult. This is because Rishikesh is the yoga capital and spiritual hub of the world so there are thousands of yoga schools in Rishikesh and a number of yoga schools are built daily. Everyone is saying they are the best. Definitely, some yoga schools in Rishikesh have a good quality of yoga education but still, there are some advantages and some disadvantages.
Nowadays, yoga is commercial and one of the most profitable businesses throughout the world. Slowly, the essence of yoga has been converted into a more physical exercise in the form of asana. Almost everyone thinks that yoga is a different type of body posture with some breathing techniques to get good flexibility, strength, stamina, and a calm mind. If you think this is yoga, this is not yoga, this is the physical form of yoga to stay fit. Then what is yoga and how is yoga represented in this school and how is it different?
Sidhhant School of Yoga, Registered Yoga School (RYS-200 and RYS-300) certified by Yoga Alliance, USA was founded by Siddhant in October 2016 with a mission to provide the right and authentic yoga education to the world not only by asana but also by focusing on all the aspects of yoga and vision to create some best and unique yoga teachers who will guide the future generation.
During the last 3 years, they have done 30 yoga teacher training courses and almost 260 students have graduated here they feel proud that almost all students came to learn Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga, and meditation. They also learned more than they expected and the real essence of yoga. They succeed because they have a clear vision to make you stand and learn the right and ancient traditional knowledge of yoga, nothing else. During the last 3 years, they have made their course so strong and systematic, that you can understand the real essence of yoga. So what are the points that make their course so strong foundation for you and unique from others?
One of the world's best pranayama centers in Rishikesh
Pranayama is the foundation of life and any yogic practices. The art of perfection comes with the right practices with the right breathing techniques. If you want to master Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha yoga, meditation, or any healing, but without knowing the deepest part of pranayama, you will not master any yogic practice. Here, they will teach you how pranayama is the only and best yogic practice that can help you throughout your life in a situation and how it makes you master any art.
World’s first yoga and gratitude center
Gratitude is not an option, it is the only aspect that gives you peace, happiness, satisfaction, success, and so on. It is the essence of life and yoga. But you do not know how to use gratitude in your life. Here, they especially arranged a 24-day special gratitude course free along with a yoga course to make a new change in your life.
Best meditation center in Rishikesh

Gratitude and pranayama are the two most essential tools to experience meditation. You may know or not some of the meditation techniques but here you will experience your first glimpse of meditation.
A smaller group of 10 students in each batch
