Now let’s talk about what all will be taught to yoga students and yoga enthusiasts when they come to learn the nuances of yoga at Diya Yogashala in Rishikesh.

During the various 100 hour and 200 hour yoga training courses held at Diya Yogashala, focus is on improving the body’s flexibility, and teaching and training the students in the basics of different styles of yoga. Use of props such as wooden blocks, ropes and straps are taught during practice of Hatha Yoga, in which students have to hold their poses for several breaths. These props are useful and come in handy in maintaining Hatha yoga poses for several minutes. They act as a balancing factor for various parts of the body of yoga students during their practice of various yoga poses.
Surya Namaskar and meditation form an important part of all yoga courses that are offered at Diya Yogashala, Rishikesh. Surya Namaskar helps activate the body and prepare it for the upcoming yoga poses. It also helps carry oxygen to every part of the body, which in turn energizes it. This is followed by meditation, which makes the body calm and balanced. This is important as it helps to do and maintain various yoga poses for several minutes, which actually is a difficult task for new yoga students or for those who haven’t practiced yoga before.
Now let’s talk about the school. Though new in comparison to other old yoga schools, yet Diya Yogashala packs a punch.
