Est. 2009 · Rishikesh, India
A sanctuary for those seeking to transform their practice into a living philosophy. Our school blends ancient Hatha lineage with mindful modern teaching.
About Ananda
Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas, Ananda Yoga was founded with one conviction: yoga is not exercise — it is a map to the self. Our teachers carry unbroken lineage from classical Indian masters and hold space for every body, every level.
Whether you join us for a morning class or a 200-hour teacher training, you leave changed in ways that last a lifetime.
Programmes & Classes
Beginner — Advanced
The root of all modern yoga styles. Classical postures, pranayama and a deliberate pace that builds body awareness from the inside out.
Intermediate — Advanced
Breath-synchronised movement woven into continuous creative sequences. Build heat, fluidity and meditative absorption in motion.
All Levels
Long held floor postures meet yogic sleep. Surrender the nervous system, release deep connective tissue and restore profound stillness.
"Yoga is not about touching your toes. It is about what you learn on the way down." — Jigar Gor, Founder
Our Philosophy
We teach from a place of radical non-judgement. Every body is honoured, every pace respected. Progress over perfection, always.
Our curriculum goes beyond the mat. We offer philosophy circles, Ayurveda workshops and retreats designed to deepen inward inquiry.
Transformation happens in the company of fellow seekers. Our community is warm, diverse and perpetually growing together.

Student Stories
"Ananda changed my relationship with my body. I came for flexibility and left with a completely different understanding of who I am."
"The teacher training here is unlike anything I found elsewhere. Rigorous, soulful and genuinely transformative. I teach my own classes now."
"Priya's Hatha classes are medicine. I manage chronic back pain through yoga now, something no physiotherapist achieved in three years."
