The ancient medicinal science that originated years ago in India is Ayurveda. India is home to many herbs and natural medicines which not only cure the body but also prevents it from further upcoming diseases or illness.

Shatkarma is a cleansing technique that consists of six yogic purity kriyas (or actions), which are also mentioned in ancient texts of yoga. Its other name is Shatkriya. Through these six actions, the entire human body is purified. The class of Shatkarma gives a detailed description of all the six kriyas namely, Dhauti, Basti, Neti, Trataka, Nauli, and Kapalbhati. Shatkarma involves the sanctification of a body in the early morning in association with the practices of various Asana.

  • Neti (Nasal cleansing technique)
  • Trataka (Gazing practice)
  • Kapalbhati (Cleansing the lungs)
  • Dhauti (Vomitting practice)
  • Nauli (Intra-abdominal massage)
  • Basti (Reverse Enema)

Learning and explanation of aspects of physiology and anatomy for increasing efficiency of classroom explanations, asanas corrections and cuesWhat you learn is important but in a teaching training course, how you learn and how to convey the teachings to others are equally important. The class on Teaching Methodology is important as it helps in a broad way to make you a successful yoga teacher.

The class of a Yoga Alignment and Adjustment holds great importance as it corrects the posture and provides you with the right understanding of each pose or asana.

The prevention of disease through yogic actions is called Yoga Therapy. The purpose of yoga therapy is to treat various diseases by using all yogic processes like asanas, pranayama etc. All these processes have a specific effect on the subtle to the gross functions of the body.

Food: Sattvic & Healthy

What we eat, not only influences our physical well-being, but also our emotions and thoughts. Yoga does not dissect food into proteins, carbohydrates or fats, instead, it classifies them according to the effect they have on the body and mind, into three types. – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas

  • Sattvic Food Is The Kind That Makes You Feel Energetic & Enthusiastic.

“On my journey to Rishikesh in India in October 2022, I had planned to sign up for my 300H Yoga training with another school. However once I stepped into Sanskriti Yogpeeth Rishikesh, they where so kind to invite me to the graduation ceremony of the generation prior mine, I meet the teachers closely and followed my heart. I end up signing in Sanskriti Yogpeeth Rishikesh. I felt well guided and taken care of. Was a bless to have Noelia, Neeraji, Rakeshji as my teachers. I highly recommend this school.
