Ashtanga Yogashala Rishikesh is a space dedicated to the authentic practice and teaching of traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, rooted in the lineage of Shri T. Krishnamacharya.

Our shala is located in Rishikesh, a small and sacred town on the banks of the Holy Ganga River and the gateway to the Himalayas. For centuries, this land has been a meeting point for seekers, sages, and yogis drawn to deep spiritual practice. Today, Rishikesh is known worldwide as the Yoga Capital of the World, attracting practitioners from across the globe who come in search of clarity, balance, and inner transformation.

The shala is guided by Sachin & Liubov Badoni, Authorized Ashtanga Yoga teachers, who have dedicated themselves to the disciplined study and practice of this method. Both teachers have trained extensively in Mysore under the guidance of their Guru, Sharath Jois, and continue to walk the path of learning with humility and commitment.

After years of study and practice in Mysore, they returned to Sachin’s hometown of Rishikesh to establish a shala with the blessings of their Guru. Here, they offer a supportive and focused environment where students can explore the Ashtanga method with respect for its traditional roots while honoring the needs of the modern body and mind.

Teaching at Ashtanga Yogashala Rishikesh is grounded in consistency, self-practice, breath awareness, and steady progression. The intention is not only to guide physical practice, but also to cultivate discipline, awareness, and a deeper connection to the essence of yoga.

As teachers, practitioners, and parents, Sachin and Liubov are deeply committed to preserving the integrity of the Ashtanga tradition and sharing it in a way that is sincere, accessible, and transformative.
