About Tattvaa Yogashala
Tattvaa Yogashala India is the top yoga school in India and is one of the highest certified yoga teacher training schools in India; we provide quality courses and yoga teacher training with accommodation and food. We have provided students with extremely result-oriented and high-quality yoga courses in India.
Tattvaa Yogashala is the first and oldest Ashtanga and Hatha yoga school in Rishikesh, India, and the only yoga school located on the banks of the Ganges. Founded in 2000 by senior teacher Yogi Kamal Singh in the world's yoga capital, it has since expanded and become a haven for study and practice for yogis worldwide.
It all began in our small Shala, or school, on the banks of the sacred Ganges. Prior to being a yoga space, the small yogashala functioned as a shelter for pilgrims from across India to spend time with the Ganga and in the holy city of Rishikesh. Our Yoga Alliance-certified schools in India continue to carry the vibrancy of all who come to Rishikesh as seekers. It is now home for the yoga students who have also come from far away on their pilgrimages. Every year the Ganga comes to bless the shala with a flood, taking away all the exhausted energy and refreshing it with her divine power. The Yogashala is both a vibrant and inspiring place to practise, with its history and location overlooking the Ganga water.
Tattvaa Yogashala began its journey with only a few students. However, as more and more students have come every year to practise, the school has since expanded and grown from its humble roots at the Tattvaa Yogashala and other locations in Ram Jhula, including the expansive yoga hall at Gita Ashram. Our top yoga school India spaces overlook the scenic Himalayas or the Ganges river, allowing students to practise surrounded by inspiring views and energy.
Top Yoga School With The Best Accommodation
While staying at our top yoga school in India during courses, students live together at Hari Palace Residency and surrounding guest houses in Ram Jhula. During the teacher training courses, two students are paired to live in a room with two twin beds, a closet space, a private bathroom with hot water and shower facilities, and a balcony. Single rooms cost extra but are available upon request. Bedding is provided, and towels are available upon request. Laundry facilities are not provided, but students can wash their clothes in their room, and laundry services can be arranged and inquired about at reception. The Internet is available at all of our residencies. Students are ensured a comfortable space in their rooms to relax and rest during the course but will spend most of their time in the school. The rooftops and shalas have a stunning view of the Himalayas and Ganges and provide a beautiful space for students to enjoy.
There are many local cafes, shops, and restaurants to enjoy on days off and days out from the course. Traditional masala chai tea and herbal teas are available everywhere. Many friendly animals and locals are on the streets, making every walk through town interesting and enjoyable. Little shops with inexpensive Indian clothes and tailors, books in many languages, ayurvedic products, and traditional items line the streets, so there is no need to bring too much. Everything you may want is within short walking distance from the school. Rishikesh's vibrant Indian culture and deep spiritual tradition make it a wonderful community and environment to enjoy your yoga journey.
The food at Tattvaa Yogashala is all delicious and homemade. Traditional Indian food is prepared daily in our kitchen. All the ingredients are high quality, sourced locally, and fresh from the markets. Brunch begins in the late morning and includes fresh local and seasonal fruits like papaya, mango, pineapple, apples, and lots of bananas. Brunch also offers porridge, homemade bread, nuts and butter, muesli, yoghurt, honey, ginger lemon tea, and more. Dinner offers a wide array of Indian options with the occasional Western touch for a taste of home. At our best yoga teacher training school in Rishikesh, India, the dinner menu constantly changes to keep it exciting but often includes favourites like lentils, dal, chickpeas, chapati, naan bread, a vegetable dish, tofu, salad, soup, rice, and a tasty dessert. To experience all the yoga benefits, all our meals are designed to keep the body light but strong and nourished during yoga training courses. Two full meals and one snack with tea are served daily for students enrolled in the yoga teacher training courses in India with us.
