We Follow

The 5000 Years Old Yoga Tradition of The Himalayan Masters

The Samadhi Yoga Ashram follows the teachings of generations of Himalayan Masters, Avatars, and great Saints who originate from the ancient cave hermitages of the Himalayas. The lineage of the teaching tradition dates back almost five thousand years, Masters, Avatars, and Saints include Swami Rama and his teacher Bangali Baba who is a direct disciple of Maha Avatar Babaji. This prodigious tradition was practiced without a name and we aptly named it “The Tradition of the Himalayan Masters.”

Yoga Vishnu Panigrahi who is a disciple of Swami Veda Bharati who is, in turn, a disciple of Swami Rama has now devoted his time, energy, and spirituality to encourage and advance the Himalayan Tradition and to bring world peace by consummating Samadhi, which really should be the ultimate goal of human life.

Although Yoga’s roots are closely linked to Hindu culture, Yoga should not be misinterpreted as a religion. The path of the Himalayan tradition is very simple and anyone can practice it irrespective of religion, faith, gender, language, and nationality. Transmission of knowledge involves a close teacher-pupil relationship, which forms a stable foundation that leads to pupils getting liberated from worldly attachments and fulfilling their spiritual destinies.

The Ashram follows a holistic path of Yoga embracing Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and Tantra Yoga. The message of a Himalayan Master is “To get freedom from all fears, be aware of the reality within.” Be spontaneous in your approach and let yourself become the instrument to impart pure spirituality without any religious or cultural convictions.

Schedule - 500 Hour Yoga TTC

Daily Schedule of The 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course

The daily routine of a 500 Hour Yoga Teacher has been made in such a way that there is an inclusion of physical practice, theory, and self-observation. There is a practice of silence meditation along with pranayama which is later followed by energizing asana practice to get the body up and about. Theory classes about the philosophy of yoga, ways of teaching, anatomy of yoga, and others will take place and practical lessons of helping into asana dissection and reconstruction ‘will extend throughout the day. One more yoga with the aim of relaxation, a talk and meditation will be included in the evenings with an aim of facilitating community and development. The educational process seems to be quite rigid and would, however, allow free expression on any particular aspect that would trigger active engagement with effective assimilation and growth of the students.

Our Facility - Samadhi Yoga Ashram

Accommodation and Food For This Course

When you sign up for a 500 Hour yoga teacher training course you need to find the best accommodation and food to create a nourishing environment. Many centers can offer you a comfy place to sleep, from shared rooms to private spaces and during the rest time you can recharge your energy. Wholesome meals are served for breakfast and lunch with locally sourced ingredients that cater to most dietary requirements. The main thing is balance and body wellness which is almost guaranteed if you not only deepen your yoga practice but also eat food that supports your journey. And this whole and holistic approach actually creates a community where you can with your fellow students establish connection, experience things and actually get into the power of yoga that is so deep.

Accommodation For this Course

When you stay at Samadhi Yoga Ashram to attend the 500-hour yoga teacher training course, you will be fully covered with regards to your housing and schedule of the course. This will allow you to fully immerse in your yogic practice and personal development. We also recommend choosing one of our special course packages. If you prefer having your private room, we can accommodate this as well.

Accommodations are strictly reserved for students of the yoga course, offered at Samadhi Yoga Ashram. Guests or friends and family can still find accommodation on campus by renting rooms, apart from course. All students should attend the planned ashram events to gain the maximum out of the experience from the training.

Campus For This Course

Your beautiful campus that make your stay relax and happy.

Food For this Course

We understand that, along with being one of the important energy sources for the body, food can be one of the major factors that maintain a good state of physical and emotional well-being. Nutrition is well beyond the yogic standpoint of just filling oneself with food because it defines the energetic quality of the food itself. A well-integrated yoga practice needs nourishment from all walks of nutrition and, therefore, forms a priority to think about the quality and origin of your meal.

We shall also be happy to offer you Sattvic cuisine, fully vegetarian-only; no animal product used, hence nothing harming animals in the process. All dishes are prepared with natural farming practices, making sure there is no harmful additive, preservative, and no artificial flavour in them so that you may nurture your body in conjunction with your yoga practice.

Include Not Include - Samadhi Yoga Ashram

What Is Include & Not Included With This Course

A yoga teacher training course can offer many things or just some. Some include all the information on yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodologies, and enough practice. One can expect a competent instructor and study materials and, often, a diploma upon graduation. However, you might be paying extra charges, for instance, personal yoga equipment, external workshops, accommodations, or even just the room, depending on whether this is a training in retreat format.

What Students Says About Samadhi Yoga Ashram

Hannah

Germany

I attended the 300 hour Kundalini Teachers Training course in January 2025. I have attended several other training programs over my 26 years of practicing yoga. This experience was the BEST! The Ashram was really fun, and the food was great. The training was the most excellent curriculum I have experienced thus far, the teachers were enthusiastic, heart centered and brilliant. Rishikesh is the most mystical place I have ever been held by the Himalayan mountains and the energetic greatness of the Ganges River. The town people were the kindest souls, the food in town was great too. I also loved the eco system of people and animals all existing together in such peace. My wife and I had such a beautiful experience, we feel that the friends we made in the program will likely be lifelong. We are already looking at our calendar to see when we can go back and finish the 500 hour program. My only request would be that they create a 1000 hour opportunity for those who want to continue on and on. Our daily practice is deeper than ever as are the gifts that come with a string Sadhana.

Kundalini called me, as well as many others. Choosing a school, I saw the website of the Samadhi Yoga Ashram and a photo of Hari Priya and realized that I needed to go to this place. I had no idea what is Kundalini, and I did not expect the awakening of energy, I just followed my inner voice. I am very pleased with the training and grateful to all the Gurus for the knowledge and invaluable experience gained during the training. I got a lot more than I expected. During the practice, I found answers to my personal questions, as did everyone who was trained. I watched how I changed and how the people around me changed. We have undergone a colossal transformation, we have changed, we have become stronger, more confident, calmer, happier. I am grateful to the universe for this opportunity and wish all the best to the Ashram and all the Gurus. I will definitely return to Rishakesh. Namaste

I have just completed by YTT200 training here. I will definitely miss here so much and in fact I don't want to leave and go back to my home country... It is my first time to India and I am coming here alone. There isn't any other student of the same nationality as me, but we are close friends now. I am glad that this yoga school is situated on this side of the river bank where it is more tranquil and suitable for study than the touristy centre on the opposite side. Food at ashram is so homey and in appropriate level of taste (not heavy like outside's and not bland), because the kitchen also cooks for the Guru's family who also lives here. With family members around, it feels not like a conventional/ business-driven school but experiencing local culture. Classes are well-organised and we learnt so much within a short span of time. It is out of my expectation that how focused we could learn yoga in such a way. Teachers speak good english and are serious in tackling our problems and make us improved quickly. Excursions offered by the school are fun and safe too (although we don't have much day off given the tight schedule of an intensive course). I would definitely love to visit India again, and if I do, I must come back and visit the school and the Guru's family. It can be said as my second home. I had such an amazing mind-changing journey and found my inner peace together with teaching techniques that I would definitely polish further in my yogi journey.

I had an amazing experience in SYA! The stuff became my family during my stay and I learn so much from them. Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi is such a beautiful being and so genuine! By spontaneity I met him and he brought me to this beautiful place! Which was on of my greatest experience here in Rishikesh! The teachers are dedicated and the food during my stay was marvellous! p.s they have hot water to shower with and all is super clean! Thank you! SYA for this time! Until next time! Namaste.

I completed the 300 hour kundalini yoga teacher training. This was offered by many different instructors providing their insight and knowledge in many different areas [asana practice, kundalini theory + practice, pranayama, anatomy, ayurveda, etc.]. Each instructor had a deep understanding of their subject and it was the perfect combination of class materials/content and practices to allow you to truly embody your practice. Would love to attend an in-person program one day.

The first thing you should know about Samadhi Yoga Ashram is that it goes by several names. So if you’re like me and you spend hours or days researching and comparing different yoga schools, you may be surprised to find that they are actually all under one roof. The three that are connected are Samadhi Yoga Ashram, World Peace Yoga School, and Kundalini Yoga Ashram. So if you’re looking for a kundalini specific program, you’ll likely end up here. So whichever school you choose, you will still be in the same building studing the same curriculum with the same people who booked with other schools. I just wanted to make that clear so there’s no confusion. Whichever path you take to get here, it’s definitely worth it! The second thing you should know is, I highly recommend you bring your cash with you to pay for the balance of your tuition when you arrive. I thought I could just come and use ATMs but I was sadly mistaken. Most of the time you can only get up to $100 US per day from an ATM. The second thing to note is that most of the ATMs run out of cash before you can even get money out. The other option is to take money out down the street at a jewelry store that was actually very legit and safe, but they do charge extra fees from 5% to 12%. If you want to pay with your card at the ashram you’ll have to pay an additional 18% on top of your balance of your tuition. This proved to be a very difficult part of the stay and I would definitely recommend making it easy for yourself and bringing your money with you. It really should not have been as hard as it was, is but it is what is it. Now onto the fun stuff! The team here is really amazing! The teachers are first class! They’re very intelligent and I feel like I was learning from some of the top people in the industry! There were times when I felt like I was in college level classes. The team here and the teachers really cannot be compared to anything else. You will not get this type of experience doing a destination style yoga teacher training or online course. These people are teaching year-round and they know their stuff. Some of these teachers have doctorate degrees. Everybody that took the classes were very impressed and felt we got so much value for what we paid to be here. Most of us never wanted to leave! Also living the Ashram experience, is an experience all of it’s own! It’s kind of like living in a hippie commune on a college campus. That’s the best way I can describe! You eat together, you sleep at the same time, you take your classes together, and you become very bonded with your classmates. Honestly that part of the experience was one of the best parts! Even the difficulties added to the experience. You may not have hot water all the time, electricity goes off often, and it was very cold when I was here, but I wouldn’t trade anything for the experience I had! Every hardship was worth it in the end. This experience was very transformative for me. I came here for two months and did the 200 and 300 hour Kundalini courses and I booked with Samadhi Yoga Ashram. I would highly recommend coming here for your yoga teacher training. You’ll get more than you bargained for and you’ll come back home as a different person! You can’t beat the value for this experience! Highly recommended!

I truly love my stay in Samadhi Yoga Ashram. It was a life time transfomational experience for me and The best school of life, wisdom, love I have attended in my life. I came for YTTC Kundalini Yoga training with 200 hours looking to find where my path was guiding me. After I have completed one month of training, I knew my direction and have decided to stay and continue with YTTC 300 hours of Kundalini Yoga training. The training itself is absolutely transformational and amazingly enriching with morning Sadhana with Guruji Vishnu, Kundalini kriyas,Hatha yoga,Mantras, etc.. The quality, the knowledge, the experience, the disposition and the care of all the teachers were exceptional. The life wisdom, strength, the love of Guruji Vushnu were blessing. We were leaded by having them as example of what is to be so wise and in the same time so humble, so loving, so simple and so strong. You simply feel accepted, supported, empowered and loved the way you are. The group I stay with were such a loving people, with the same vibes of kindness between us, positive mind, shared values.., just as true friends and family. The food was great. There was cleanliness, variety, organization. The staff in the dining area were gorgeous and accommodating, and the staff in the rest of the Ashram were gentle, understanding, meeting your request if there was any in the closest for you way. We celebrated all together - teachers, students, and the rest of the people in the Ashram as family. We spent time together in a spiritual practices and in festive celebrations. Ashram is positioned in a central( with shops and restaurants area) ,but calm and queit area surrounded by Himalayas and Ghanga river. The landscapes are stunning and you feel the power of the energy. I am deeply grateful to the Universe,to Guruji Vishnu, to all my teachers and my friends there for been part of that journey together.

I chose back Samadhi Yoga School to complete the 500 YTT because I felt I could truly immerse myself in the true and authentic Himalayan yogi tradition. I experienced a wonderful journey of personal development and self discovery that is never going to stop. My personal experience at the school has been completely fulfilling, and even though I was miles away from the teachers and colleagues the community created has made me feel part of the family. I truly recommend studying with Vishnu ji to get a deeper understanding of the true traditions and the techniques that every yogi and yogini should get access to. The teachings come from real love and understanding of the philosophy of yoga. Your life will change when attending a course with them. Shanti, shanti, shanti

I came to Samadhi Yoga Ashram searching for peace and deeper meaning in my practice—and I found so much more. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and kind, blending traditional yogic wisdom with practical application. The location near the Ganga is serene, and the daily routine was grounding. I now feel confident teaching yoga and living more mindfully. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual path.

The 300-hour TTC at Samadhi Yoga Ashram was intense in the best way possible. The depth of the philosophy, pranayama, and meditation sessions really pushed me beyond the physical. It’s a full immersion into the yogic lifestyle, supported by a warm and knowledgeable staff. Rishikesh itself is a spiritual haven, and the ashram environment made it easy to stay focused. I'm grateful for the personal transformation this training offered.

I had some hesitation traveling to India alone, but from the moment I arrived, the staff at Samadhi Yoga Ashram made me feel like family. The course content was rich and well-structured, with great emphasis on philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology. I especially loved the morning meditations and evening kirtans. I leave not only with a certification, but with a more open heart and calm mind.

Nathaniel

Completing the 500-hour TTC was one of the most physically and mentally demanding things I’ve ever done—but also the most fulfilling. The curriculum is rigorous, and the teachers expect full dedication, but they are compassionate and supportive every step of the way. Samadhi Yoga Ashram has a beautiful balance of discipline and community. I’m going home not only as a certified yoga teacher, but as a more grounded human being.
