Kundalini Yoga School in Rishikesh

Location & Transportation

The easiest way to reach Rishikesh is arriving to Delhi and taking a taxi or bus from there to Rishikesh, if this is your first time in India we suggest you to take a flight to Dehradun and from there is only a 30 minute drive to get to the school, we happily can pick you up at the airport on demand for free.

From Delhi airport to Rishikesh by car is a 6 hours journey. We have a transportation package for US$ 150 which will cover your airport pick-up, transfer from Delhi to Rishikesh (by car) and after completion of the course transfer back from Rishikesh to Delhi. One way transportation i.e. Delhi airport to Rishikesh can also be availed for US$ 75. In case, your flight arrives late night and you want to stay overnight in Delhi, airport pick-up cost will be US$ 25 and a reasonably good accommodation at a hotel in Delhi can be arranged for US$ 40 or 50. Our travel arrangements are executed under the supervision of professionals and we are always ready with a back-up plan, in case of emergencies. Another good option is to travel by train (airport to New Delhi train station by car, then by train to Haridwar and from Haridwar to Rishikesh by car). Travel by bus is quite cheap between 300 and 1000 rupees but is a bit inconvenient for first time visitors.

Kundalini yoga ashram is like home. Everything you need is here and only steps away from the beautiful Ganga river. All of the teachers are very knowledgeable. I recommend to anyone who wants to experience the true yoga in India to come here and study.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality I had an amazing month at the Kundalini Yoga Ashram, surrounded by beautiful people and learning from knowledgeable and trustworthy teachers/gurus. You will receive knowledge about practices that you can never get by self-study only. The schedule and kundalini practices (for the kundalini yoga teacher training) were intense and demanding full devotion. But on the other hand we also had a lot of fun, celebrating birthdays, Christmas, going for Sunday trips. Like one big kundalini yoga family I warmly recommend to visit this Ashram.
