Pratham Yoga is one of the very few schools in India which offer the amazing opportunity to learn both: We teach ancient Yogic Knowledge in such a way that it can be used in our modern world which makes it easier to apply the knowledge no matter where you come from ♥

One thing which makes Pratham Yoga different to most other schools in Rishikesh is our choice of Location. We believe that the perfect environment for such a deep experience is best to be set away from the busy Laxmanjhula and Ramjhula market area, where one building covers the next one and many shops and restaurants with non yogic food draw away the students attention from their main purpose of becoming a Yoga Teacher or to go deeper into their practice.

We chose a very beautiful, quiet and sattvic location for our lovely Yoga center, surrounded by nature and in front of River Ganga. No traffic noise, no sound pollution, no distraction through shops and tourist masses.

Female and Male teachers team

At Pratham Yoga we put great importance on supporting women in India, knowing that women have immense potential and make wonderful and caring teachers. Especially in a Yoga Teacher Training course we find it important to keep an energtic balance of masculine and feminine energies, which make a personal approaches possible and also we can handle sensitive topics with the necessary care. Whenever possible Pratham Yoga tries to offer open positions to female teachers ♥

"Yoga chitta vritti nirodhah"

चित्त वृत्ति निरोध 

Yoga is the removing of the fluctuations of the mind.

A Yoga training course that offers more than Asanas

True meaning of Yoga

In the sacred realm of Yoga, there exists a profound concept known as "Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha." Enveloped within these mystical words lies a gateway to inner tranquility and profound transformation.

Immersed in the majestic symphony of life, we find ourselves swept away by the ceaseless currents of responsibilities, expectations, and external influences. The chitta vrittis, the waves of the mind, become waves of thoughts, memories, desires, and attachments that keep us entangled in the web of illusion. However, Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha illuminates a transformative path—a timeless voyage towards the shores of tranquility, where the fluctuations of the mind settle into a sublime stillness.

As a Yoga Teacher Training course becomes the sacred vessel for self-discovery, it is essential to delve into the essence of Yoga itself, unveiling its true meaning, for Yoga is not confined to the mere performance of physical postures. Yoga, dear aspirants, is a radiant prism refracting the sacred light of unity, harmony, and the profound realization of our interconnectedness with all existence.

Yoga, at its core, is an ancient art of unification—a sacred union of body, mind, and spirit. It is a harmonious dance of breath and movement, wherein the body becomes a temple, each posture a gateway to unlock the boundless potential residing within. Yoga is a timeless tapestry, interweaving the threads of physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional equilibrium, and spiritual awakening.

A Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh at Pratham Yoga is all about awakening a deeper understanding of Yoga, so the students are not only diving into a strong Asana practice, but also they will study Philosophy to understand the true meaning of Yoga, Kriya (Yogic cleansing), Dhyan  (Meditation), Pranayama (Yogic breathing technique), Anatomy, Ayurveda & Yogic nutrition, Yoga Nidra and Mantra Chanting on a daily basis.
