Traditional Yoga Styles
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga, as purported by the Indian Rishi Patanjali, is the eight-fold path towards enlightenment, involving a complex system of practices and Asanas. Ashtanga Yoga essentially follows Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the quintessential text written by MaharshiPatanjali.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is the part of Yoga that deals with the body postures or Asanas. The body postures and the other physical practices are meant to cleanse your system of the toxicants, and purify it to follow the traditional Yogic path. Hatha Yoga prepares you for further steps as directed by Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that was given by a renowned Yogi, B.K Iyengar, from southern part of India. Ieyngar Yoga is essentially a form of Hatha Yoga, but advises a more complex and elaborate mechanism of body postures focusing on alignment, detail and precision.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga primarily focuses on awakening the spiritual energy or Kundalini Shakti, which resides at six chakras along the spinal area. It involves a complex system of meditation, breathing exercises, mantra chanting, etc. It is probably the most powerful and spiritually experience, that aims to unite the finite with the infinite.

A Journey to Inner Peace and Spiritual Awakening
Yoga Retreats in Rishikesh, India is an ancient philosophical thought that increases your physical, mental as well as spiritual well-being. It combines stylized body poses or Asanas with sophisticated breathing and meditation techniques. The term Yoga is itself derived from a Sanskrit word that means ‘union’ or joins together.
