When I started my 200 hour yoga teacher training in rishikesh at AYM yoga school in rishikesh, I had already raised my bar not because I was in yoga capital Rishikesh but also because I have learned so many good things about this school from my friend who also went there for her TTC. I was blown away from the training, my 28 days at the school were the most intense and beautiful journey of my life, which I cherish forever.

Beauty of Alignment and Adjustment

We follow the traditional asana practice, where every form, alignment and adjustment of the body is crucial. Our teachers pay attention to these details so that every practitioner can experience the complete benefits of yoga asanas.

In yoga, even the breath flow is important, and it's a gradual process of training to get it right, master the form and adjust your body, one asana at a time.
