Rishikesh
Adi Yogpeeth was founded in 2018 with a simple intention: to create a place where sincere students could come to Rishikesh, practise yoga and learn from the traditions that have shaped yoga for generations.
From its home in the Himalayan foothills, the school offers a learning environment where yoga is approached as more than a physical practice. Students explore asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and yogic lifestyle as connected parts of a wider path.
Today, Adi Yogpeeth welcomes students from different countries and backgrounds through a range of teacher-training programs, specialised yoga courses and retreat experiences.
ADI
YOGPEETH
The Meaning Behind Our Name
Inspired by Adi Yogi, the first yogi.
The name Adi Yogpeeth reflects the school's connection with the ancient roots of yoga and the tradition of Adi Yogi. In the Shaivite tradition, Lord Shiva is revered as Adi Yogi — the first yogi and primordial teacher of yoga.
Adi conveys the sense of the primordial or first, while Peeth can be understood as a seat or place of learning. Together, the name expresses our aspiration to practise, preserve and share yoga as a living tradition.
A place of learning rooted in the timeless tradition of yoga.

Why Rishikesh
Study yoga where the tradition is alive.
At the foothills of the Himalayas and beside the sacred Ganges, Rishikesh has long been associated with yoga, meditation, spiritual study and ashram life. For many students, coming here is part of the learning itself.
Discover Rishikesh →Our Community
Different journeys.
One shared practice.
Students arrive in Rishikesh with different backgrounds, goals and reasons for studying yoga.
Some come to deepen their personal practice. Others want to become yoga teachers, explore a specialised tradition or simply spend meaningful time learning in the birthplace of modern yoga culture.
At Adi Yogpeeth, these individual journeys meet in the classroom, on the mat and within the shared rhythm of residential yoga life.
Our Philosophy
Yoga is a journey,
not just a certificate.
A teacher-training course may begin with postures, breathing techniques and philosophy. The deeper journey is learning to observe, understand and transform the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
