A shala named for the remover of obstacles"
Mission & Vision
“Yoga is not a practice you do — it’s a life you live.”
Set on the banks of the sacred Ganges and framed by the Himalayan foothills, Ganesha Yoga Shala offers authentic, lineage-rooted yoga education alongside retreat journeys across Asia. Small classes, experienced Rishikesh-trained teachers, and a community that feels like family from day one.
At Ganesha Yoga Shala, we value every little effort and we believe that a genuine sincere practice will bring amazing benefits to whoever has the patience and will to experience, listen and learn. We will help you to settle a meaningful, safe and customised practice that served you and where you can come back to yourself, listening to your breath.
We welcome all practitioners of all levels, willing to explore their practice and learn further.
What do we offer ?
YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFIED TEACHER TRAINING The same traditional Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa curriculum, taught by the same lineage of teachers, held in three settings — the Himalayan foothills, the temples of Cambodia, and the coast of Sri Lanka.
YOGA RETREATS Beyond teacher training, we lead shorter retreat journeys in each of our three homes — for travelers seeking rest, ritual and practice rather than certification.
