About Us

About - Vinyasa Yoga Academy Rishikesh, India

At VYA our goal is to provide Seekers with unique spiritual, religious, and mind/body experiences by applying our expertise in Vedanta philosophy, and yoga. We are a young, ambitious and modern-day ashram that differentiates itself from others by offering not just practices, but also understanding, context, meaning, and relevance of what we teach. The training we provide must also bring the result you require, and when your program concludes, it is our hope that you leave with a full mystical comprehension of your practical experience.

Philosophy At Vinyasa Yoga Academy

Vinyasa literally means "connection" and Vinyasa yoga is the practice of breath-synchronized movements. The flow is composed of a series of yoga poses where the yogi moves with the power of breathing. Practicing Vinyasa allows students to feel as if they are dancing with an intent to enter the inner dimension of one's being.

Our academy guides students toward self empowerment and transformation while they deepen their own practice so they may learn the art of teaching others. The programs are well designed to support students as they reach inside themselves and share their unique qualities with the world. Understanding the history of the yoga traditions of the Himalayas will better establish the philosophy of one's own life and with this knowledge it is easier to meet all of life's challenges in the modern world. At VYA we believe that by providing a supportive community, a peaceful environment and expert knowledge and our well rounded curriculum along with fun getaways and adventures lay a foundation for learning the culture of India and the practice of yoga.
