Yoga Courses for Beginners in India

We invite you to immerse yourself in a Beginner yoga course at Mahatma Yoga. We can give you your first “dip” into the world of “ancient” yoga applied to a modern day setting. As The Ganges gives life; flowing down from the source, Ganga’s healing properties will inspire you to turn towards a more serious study of yoga. We have experienced here at Mahatma over and over again that yoga transforms lives and it can positively alter your perception about your LIFE as well.

Historically, Rishikesh has held a special place as a magnet for yogic practices. Nowadays the peaceful atmosphere, the calming sounds induced by the flowing of the Ganges and the beautiful green Himalayas inspire a yearning for self-growth and for re-energizing from within. Today, Rishikesh is the Yoga capital of the world. In our small way, we at Mahatma do our bit to make available to our guests a true authentic and traditional hatha yoga experience. By holding certain postures, yoga helps release toxins from our body which otherwise create a breeding ground for diseases and stress. This helps in balancing body and mind . Yoga postures give you flexibility and create space for fresh beginnings in the journey of life and makes you open for increased perception. By living in the moment instead of fearing the future. By improving Flexibility, invigorating you, making you stronger and providing inner and outer radiance.
