The mission of Himalayan Yog Ashram in Rishikesh is to uplift an individual in order to bring transformation deep within, with practically well structured tools. A harmonious and happy individual is the foundation of a happy and healthy society.
It is like a healthy cell of this cosmic body, which brings light, bliss and awakening to all. A peaceful, loving and compassionate heart can spread peace, love and compassion to all. We can’t expect love, kindness and peace from an individual whom’s heart and mind are tangled with anger, anxiety, sadness and confusion.
In order to transform these challenges an individual needs a systematic way of training to culture the mind in a holistic manner, in order to obtain a healthy body, a peaceful mind and a happy heart to make our world beautiful.
Our aim is to awaken the teacher within you and provide you with a solid foundation for taking your own yogic practice to a whole new level so you can teach by your self-experienced wisdom and knowledge instead of mental knowledge.

"This ashram is truly a special place, made even more remarkable by the incredible people who run it. Yogi Ram, the heart of the ashram, brings a depth of wisdom in his meditation and philosophy sessions that are both thought-provoking and transformative. Taijo yoga sessions are fantastic, and her insights into Ayurveda added so much to my experience. Shyam, who oversees everything, ensures that everyone feels completely at home and well taken care of, with a warmth that makes you feel like family. And I can’t forget the amazing cooks—each meal was a delicious, nourishing delight. Highly recommend this peaceful, welcoming haven for anyone looking for a truly enriching, deep and remarkable experience. "

“I can only recomend this Ashram. We attended drop-in asanas in the morning for 10 days. The teachers were highly skilled, fully dedicated, super patient, challenging and motivating. They really had the eye for the important details. The asanas dured around 2 hours and were super(!) affordable. We had a great time, left the classes every day happy, balanced, energyzed and motivated to come back. The yoga-space is nice, clean, has a great view and I enjoyed my time there very much. Thank you so much for the experience!! ”

“I did the YTT and it was a beautiful experience led by extraordinary teachers. I experienced yoga in its most authentic form, far beyond simple physical practice. The daily meditation routine, the hours of philosophy, the teachings of Ayurveda helped me to reconnect deeply with myself. I am grateful for this journey because today I feel rooted, at peace and inspired. A path that I hope for and recommend to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of yoga and themselves. ”

“I did a week of yoga practice with detox programme at Himalayan Yog Ashram and I loved my stay. PEOPLE were so supportive and beautiful. From manager to teachers to cooks, everyone was amazing and warm hearted. The care they took of a student who fell sick was impeccable! ACCOMODATION was really nice - The room was clean, spacious and quiet! It even had an air conditioning which was amazing. A safe calm haven ❤️ I also loved the FOOD. I was on a detox program so there much to experience food wise at first. All the dish I had after finishing my detox were amazing, home-cooked Indian meals. YOGA practise and teaching was the best part - the main teacher is doing exactly what he should and Im grateful he's sharing his teaching gift with us. I am a yoga beginner but was (gently) pushed to do my best everyday and I saw a difference in my body in just a week. I would reccomend anyone to stay here, you will have a great time. ”
