Shree Yogshala Rishikesh — Rishikesh, India
Traditional yoga retreats and teacher training beside the sacred Ganga River in Rishikesh
Shree Yogshala Rishikesh was founded in 2020 by Dinesh Mishra, known as Dev Yati, a certified yoga master and dedicated Kirtan artist. Born and raised in the Himalayan village of Dewal, Mishra's path toward yoga began through a deep interest in self-discovery and inner awareness. After years of study and practice under experienced teachers in Rishikesh, he dedicated himself to sharing traditional yogic wisdom while preserving classic teachings in a peaceful environment.
Located near the sacred Ganga River and surrounded by the Himalayan mountains, the school creates immersive yoga experiences for students seeking to explore practice beyond physical postures. The setting—with its mountains, greenery, fresh air, and spiritual energy—forms the foundation of the retreat experience. Mishra's teaching approach combines traditional yogic knowledge with practical guidance, emphasizing mindful movement, breath awareness, alignment, discipline, and holistic development.
Shree Yogshala offers a range of programs designed for different depths of engagement. The 3-day and 7-day yoga retreats include daily sessions in Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, and meditation, alongside Shatkarma cleansing techniques, Chakra work, energy healing, and sound therapy. The 7-day Chakra Yoga Retreat focuses specifically on balancing the seven main energy centers, incorporating Kundalini meditation and Naad Yoga. Teacher training runs from 100 to 500 hours, with the foundational 200-hour and advanced 300-hour programs serving practitioners from around the world.
Each day at the retreat follows a structured rhythm: early morning Pranayama or Shatkarma, Hatha Yoga practice, yogic meals prepared according to Sattvic principles, philosophy or Ayurveda consultation, afternoon adjustments and alignment work, and evening excursions to experience the spiritual atmosphere of Rishikesh, including the Ganga Arti ceremony. Participants receive personal guidance throughout, with small group sessions ensuring real-time correction and individual attention.
Beyond in-person programs, Shree Yogshala conducts live online yoga classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners worldwide. These sessions—never recorded—offer interactive guidance in Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, and meditation, bringing the authentic teachings of Rishikesh directly into students' homes. The school's commitment remains consistent across all formats: to share traditional practices with students from around the world while preserving the wisdom of yoga in a peaceful, nature-connected environment.
