Yoga is an ancient practice that leads us to mind and body awareness by way of physical postures, meditation, and breathing. At Nirmal Yog Rishikesh, our goal is to guide you towards a true understanding of traditional yogic techniques, rather than focusing on superficial learning. Being a distinguished yoga retreat in India, we offer several courses and programs that are ideal for yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, the hub of yoga.
We aim to help you develop awareness of your mental and inner state and strongly believe that in-depth learning and growth matter far more than performative expression. Our priority is to mentor you to become a skilled and thoughtful yoga teacher and to teach yoga in its truest and most meaningful form. We will assist you in finding balance in mind, body, and breath, in an easy and approachable way, at our yoga retreat in Rishikesh.
We had the privilege of training in yoga therapy with Rakesh, and it was a beautiful experience for which I am so grateful. Rakesh is an exceptional teacher, very kind, deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and very patient with his students …..

“I spent one week in Rishikesh attending yoga philosophy and sound healing classes with Ritesh during my trip to India, and the experience was truly incredible and transformative.
Coming from Brazil, it meant so much to have access to these teachings and practices in the birthplace of yoga, where everything began. Learning directly from someone so connected to this knowledge made the experience even more special.”
Laís Lopes Areias
Yoga Philosophy and Sound Healing
“If you really want to become an authentic yoga teacher, and you are ready to open yourself to all that exist beyond Asanas, then this is the school for you. The teachers are coherents with a unitary concept that allow you to breath deeply (pranayama with Guru G), chant mantras in the most original way (with Dinesh ji), learn the deep meaning of yoga trough the lessons of philosophy (with Ritesh), meditate with different techinques, achieve a peaceful state of mind. Thank you all! Thank Rajan for morning Hata Yoga. And thank Rakesh for Yoga tgerapy. Big hug. Annamaria”

“I had the opportunity to take a 21-day therapeutic yoga course with Rakesh in Rishikesh, and it was truly a transformative experience for my body, mind, and soul. Rakesh teaches with dedication and passion, sharing his knowledge from the heart. He has a true vocation for teaching yoga, and this is reflected in every class.
Rakesh explains everything very clearly in English, and he even knows many words in Spanish, which can make the course much easier if Spanish is your native language. I highly recommend Rakesh 100% to anyone interested in learning yoga directly from India.”

“We all look for the best personal yoga experience and I found it here, yoga anatomy and alignment tailored to the individual in a small class. Rakesh has traditional knowledge he shares and often correcting other teachers.
Staying at Nirmal Yog, is not only has the best view of the Ganges but is budget friendly and quiet whilst also being right in the middle of the best and bustling cafes.
I made the biggest progress in my practice with Rakesh👍”

“Learning Marma Therapy with Rakesh has been an incredible experience. He is an outstanding teacher, deeply knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. His way of teaching goes beyond just technique—he transmits wisdom, love, and beauty in every lesson. He not only taught me Marma Therapy but also deepened my understanding of yoga, making me truly passionate about this practice. I highly recommend his teachings to anyone looking for a profound and transformative experience.”

“I had the chance to complete my TTC with Yogi Rajan and Rakesh Kumar at Nirmal Yog Rishikesh in May 2024, and it was amazing! I found professional and humble individuals and teachers who were dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of yoga with a meaningful foundation. I also met people who were genuinely seeking to learn in a non-commercial and non-idolatrous way. It’s highly recommended for beginners, travelers, couples, and backpackers.”
