For asana, the focus is on Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga styles of asana. Students train for 6 days and then have 1 day off each week.
Yoga Education is based on four aspects – Bhavas or attitudes: Dharma (Duty and Discipline), Jnana (Knowledge), Vairagya (Detachment) and Aishvarya (Self-realization). 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.
