About Us

Veda Yogashala started as a venture initiated by the current proprietors, Jay Bhatt and Pushpa together with family members and friends. Located in the Yoga capital of the world, Rishikesh, Veda Yogashala was started with the aim of bringing traditional yoga practice into our teaching, sharing the knowledge and skills from our ancient tradition with the learners of today. The centre now includes a Spa where traditional and ayurvedic massages are provided.

A variety of Yoga forms are taught at the centre, all based on ancient knowledge of Sanskrit culture: this includes Hatha Yoga, Hatha Flow, Ashtanga Vinyasa and Kundalini yoga. In addition to asana practice, we also teach Pranayama and Meditation.

Our centre is visited by so many people from all parts of the world, and so we also provide Hindi language classes, Sanskrit language classes, Mantra chanting, and Ayurvedic cooking experience to ensure that our visitors have a well-rounded experience of our culture. Our classes are delivered in English, and whether it is yoga or language, we ensure that everyone finds the activities challenging physically and mentally, but with the maximum amount of care and assistance.
