About Rishikesh
Rishikesh, at the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, has been revered as the world capital of yoga. The reason for this is that the sages who used to practice austerities in the Himalayas would come down periodically and establish their bases in the hostile months. Also, pilgrims who wished to go on their pilgrimage deeper into the Himalayas would make this their starting point. This confluence also lead to the development of several Ashrams and Rishikesh came into being as the Ashram town.
Over the years Rishikesh has grown into a small but bustling town. Yet, the Ashram areas give the ambience of a small town village with tremendous spiritual energy. The mighty Ganges river flows by and the evenings are a delight to be on the banks with several aarti (lamp) ceremonies being held along the banks.
With several narrow winding lanes and houses and shops coexisting, simply walking around and exploring the town is a charm in itself.
Yoga Teacher Training in India:
Yoga took birth in India centuries ago and to this date India has traditionally been regarded as the citadel of Yoga learning.
As the benefits of Yoga are being scientifically validated every day, yoga has gained popularity in other nations of the World including the West.
But yoga has only taken baby steps in the West so far. It is for this reason that Yoga is mainly perceived for its physical fitness aspect as opposed to its wholesome benefits.
Looking at Yoga as purely a physical exercise is actually demeaning this great science. http://www.ajarya.com/studying-yoga-india.php
