Ashtanga Intensive
Ashtanga Intensive
The Ashtanga Intensive Yoga Workshop is an ideal way to deepen and evolve your yoga practice. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras describe eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga which if practiced correctly, will bloom like a rose flower.
The intensive Ashtanga yoga course offered at Diya Yogashala approaches yoga holistically, addresses multiple limbs of the Ashtanga yoga system and transforms you into a complete Ashtanga yoga practitioner. Among various things included in this course are- asana practice, pranayama classes, yoga philosophy lectures, meditation techniques and Yoga Nidra classes. This course gives you a chance to experience a truly yogic lifestyle, rising with the sun to practice pranayama and asana in the morning, before experiencing the deeply rejuvenating practice of yoga nidra; followed by philosophy study in the afternoon. The day ends with another asana class for those who wish, and meditation in the evening, followed by yogic dinner and going down to sleep with the moon shining at night.
Detailed attention and precision in each class ensures that the students progress quickly in developing their Ashtanga yoga practice, bringing health and balance to the body and mind. Students leave the course feeling energised and inspired after being able to completely focus on deepening their practice without distractions. Diya Yogashala’s Intensive Ashtanga Yoga Course is open to students of all level- beginner, intermediate, advanced. The courses is of 6 consecutive days (with a day’s off in between, usually Sunday, but can be different at times. So please plan to stay here for at least 7 days). Those interested can join on any day of the week. Please call-up and ensure that the course is running during the time of your stay.

Choosing Diya Yogashala was one of the Great Decisions I’ve made in my life! This is my first time here in Rishikesh and I am so grateful that I’ve found Diya Yogashala for my 200 Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh.

I just came back from my Yoga Teacher Training course at Diya Yogashala and am already missing all the people, classes, and yoga. I had a great time and have learned much about yoga and life. The teachers are very knowledgeable and have taught me how to teach yoga, create a great class/sequence, the importance of body alignment, yoga philosophy (this ended up being my favorite class), and different meditation and pranayama types. The food and location were also great. I highly recommend this yoga school!
