About Maa Ganga Yogashala
An authentic yoga school on the banks of the holy Ganga — offering Yoga Alliance certified teacher training, retreats, and healing programmes rooted in traditional Indian wisdom.
Awaken Your Inner Teacher in Rishikesh
Welcome to Maa Ganga Yogashala — a spiritual yoga centre of authentic yoga, self-realisation, and conscious living. Our school sits in the lap of the Himalayas, softly touching the sacred banks of the Ganga river, in a setting that naturally deepens every practice.
At Maa Ganga Yogashala we understand that yoga is not just a personal practice — yoga is life. Rooted in the traditional wisdom of India and guided by a contemporary, integrative approach, we aim to share the ancient knowledge of classical yoga, Pranayama, meditation, sound healing, and yogic philosophy with sincere students from every corner of the world.
Our 200-hour and 100-hour programmes are internationally recognised — graduates register as Yoga Alliance RYTs.
Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pranayama, Ayurveda, Meditation, Yogic Philosophy, and Sound Healing — taught as an integrated whole, not isolated techniques.
Our collaboration with respected yoga school Divine Yogpeeth pools experienced teachers and advanced yogic knowledge to deepen every student's journey.
Whether you are taking your first steps on the mat or looking to share yoga with others, our team supports you throughout your journey and beyond graduation.
