Students train for 6 days and then have 1 day off each week.

These are covered by Astanga Yoga, The Classical Yoga – taught as Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayam, Pratyahar, Dharna, Dhyan and Samadhi.

Schools in Rishikesh observe the important Vedic tradition of disciplic succession known as parampara, where the lineage of teacher and teachings are passed down through the teaching and learning. Initiation of a student (diksha) into the teacher’s lineage occurs through ceremony. This means an unbroken lineage of a school’s teaching to its original source, which makes certifying in Rishikesh a unique experience where this practice is strongly observed.

Yoga vidya Mandiram was founded by Acharya Chandramani to impart yogic knowledge and wisdom of the Himalayan masters.
