Why Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India?

Rishikesh is situated on the foothills of Himalayas, besides the Ganges River, in India’s northern state of Uttrakhand. It is renowned as the ‘Yoga Capital of the World‘ and Ganges most sacred river in India. This city is considered an alcohol free and vegetarian town and it is surrounded by the forest and hills. It is known as the pilgrimage place and regarded as one of the holiest place. The sages and saints have been in Rishikesh since ancient times to meditate in search of higher knowledge.



Rishikesh is a magnet for spiritual seekers and mother land of Yoga and Meditation. This is why the Beatles came to Rishikesh in 1968 in ‘Chaurasi Kutiya Ashram’ for transcendental meditation. In the evening the supernatural breeze blows down the valley, setting shrine bells ringing. There are so many things to do in Rishikesh like visiting Beatles ashram, white water rafting, jungle safari, camping, ayurvedic cooking & massage, trekking, water fall, visiting temples and ashrams and of course taking a dip in the holy Ganges which is said to completely purify one.

Food at Jiva Yoga Academy

About Meal

Jiva Yoga Academy offers a deilcious and nutritious daily Satvik menu prepared on site for students. All meals are vegetarian and we also cater to vegan diets. Our chefs are passionate about cooking and serving Satvik food.

Satvik food is a concept in Ayurveda and yogic philosophy that emphasizes a pure, clean, and balanced diet. It is believed to promote mental clarity, spiritual awareness, and overall well-being. When undergoing yoga training, incorporating Satvik food into your diet can support your practice and enhance the mind-body connection. Here are some guidelines for Satvik food during yoga training:

1. Fresh and Seasonal Fruits:

  • Include a variety of fresh, seasonal fruits in your diet. Opt for fruits such as apples, Mangoes, Pineapple, Papaya, bananas, and citrus fruits. Avoid overly processed or canned fruits.

2. Vegetables:

  • Consume a colorful array of vegetables, both raw and cooked. Include leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and others. Steam or lightly cook vegetables to retain their natural vitality.

3. Whole Grains:

  • Choose whole grains like rice, corn, wheat, millet, and oats. These grains provide sustained energy and are rich in fiber and nutrients.

4. Legumes and Pulses:

  • Incorporate legumes and pulses like lentils, Soya, chickpeas, and mung beans into your meals. They are excellent sources of plant-based protein.

5. Nuts and Seeds:

  • Include a variety of nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. These provide essential fatty acids and nutrients.

6. Herbs and Spices:

  • Use Ayurvedic herbs and spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and fennel. These not only add flavor but also offer various health benefits.

I really recommend this school for all students who don’t want to come to an industry of yoga with too many people. This school is very friendly as a family. Teachers are amazing! A lot of knowledge. I’ve done my 200 hour Yoga teacher training course in this school 2 years ago, and come back each year to visit them in Rishikesh.
