The Sanctuary: Life at MVT Rishikesh
The Sanctuary: Life at MVT Rishikesh
The Himalayan School of Yog is proudly situated within the MVT (Mayapur Vrindavan Trust) premises, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and spiritually vibrant enclaves in Rishikesh.
An Oasis of Serenity
While Rishikesh pulses with energy, the MVT premises offer a “hidden garden” atmosphere. Surrounded by lush greenery, ancient trees, and blooming flowers, the campus provides the quietude necessary for meditation and deep study. The air here is fresher, cooled by the mountain breeze and the proximity to the Ganga, creating a micro-climate perfect for intensive physical practice.
The Sacred Vibration of Rishikesh
Known globally as the Yoga Capital of the World, Rishikesh is where the holy Ganges River leaves the Himalayas to touch the plains. Practicing here means:
- Proximity to the Ganga: Take a short walk to the riverbanks for morning sunrise meditations or evening Aarti (fire ceremonies).
- Vibrant Spiritual Community: You are surrounded by seekers, monks, and masters, creating a collective energy that accelerates personal growth.
- The Gateway to the Himalayas: The majestic mountains serve as a constant reminder of the heights of human consciousness.

What Rishikesh Yogkulam Means?
The “Himalayan” Heritage: The Source of Wisdom
The Himalayas are known as the Devbhumi (Land of the Gods). For thousands of years, these mountains have been the home of sages, saints, and masters who meditated in caves to uncover the secrets of human consciousness.
- Symbol of Height: Just as the Himalayas are the highest peaks on Earth, our school represents the highest standards of yogic practice and spiritual aspiration.
- The Lineage of Stillness: The name signifies that we bring the “mountain consciousness”—calm, unshakable, and vast—into the busy lives of modern seekers.
- “School”: A Scientific & Systematic Approach
We use the word “School” because we believe Yoga is a divine science that requires study, discipline, and methodology.
- Structured Learning: Unlike a casual retreat, a school implies a curriculum. Whether it is the anatomy of an asana or the Sanskrit of a sutra, we provide a structured environment for intellectual and physical growth.
- Academic Excellence: Being a “school” means we adhere to the global standards of Yoga Alliance, ensuring that your spiritual journey is backed by a professional qualification.
- “Yog”: Returning to the Roots
We use the traditional term “Yog” (pronounced Yoh-gu) rather than the westernized “Yoga.”
- Authenticity: This reflects our commitment to the original Vedic tradition. It signifies that we teach Yoga in its true context—not just as a physical exercise, but as a path to Union (the literal meaning of Yog).
- Wholeness: It represents the union of the body, mind, and soul, and the union of the individual self with the universal consciousness.
Mission Statement: Himalayan School of Yog
Our Vision
To be a global bridge between the ancient wisdom of the Himalayan masters and the modern seeker, fostering a world where inner peace and physical mastery are accessible to all.

- Empowering Educators: Cultivating confident, world-class yoga teachers through rigorous Yoga Alliance-certified training.
- Holistic Healing: Integrating the science of Sound Healing and Vedic philosophy into daily life to promote global well-being.
- Nurturing Community: Creating a “Sangha” at our MVT Rishikesh sanctuary where students of all levels—Beginner to Advanced—can transform their lives in a supportive, vibrant environment.
