ATMA-JYOTI YOGA ASHRAM

Atma Jyoti School of Yoga (AJSY) is a premier destination for learning and experiencing yoga. Nestled in the holy city of Rishikesh, renowned worldwide as the Yoga Capital of the World, our school is dedicated to spreading the timeless wisdom of yoga for the benefit of humanity.

AJSY offers an international-standard learning environment, perfect for sincere seekers who wish to deepen their practice in yoga and meditation (Dhyana). Set amidst the serene foothills of the Himalayas, our campus provides a tranquil escape from the hustle of city life. The majestic Ganga River flowing nearby adds to the spiritual charm, making it an ideal place for practice, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

 

Our aim and objectives

AJSY offers teacher training courses and yoga retreat programmes to popularize the ancient and fabled wisdom of yoga. We believe in the oneness of humanity. All of us inhabit the same planet and are connected to the same consciousness. Hence, we form a single family. Every individual is entitled to live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. It is our sincere belief that it is possible to live such a life by exploring the ancient science of yoga.

Modern lifestyles are being redefined by the advent of technology in all spheres of life. Technology has added to our comforts and significantly reduced physical labor at home as well as in the workplace. Machines have replaced manual work, leading to unprecedented changes in our lifestyle and attitude.

A yearning for wealth and the luxuries of life and the resultant competition are integral to the modern way of living. Today, people are in a mad race for wealth, name and fame. Thus, they are deprived of the natural, peaceful and healthy life that our forefathers once enjoyed. The result is an alarming rise in physical as well as mental health issues.

What is the way out?

The answer is yoga. This ancient and time-tested technique offers remedy to modern-day complexities. Yoga is a unique combination of physical exercises, breathing patterns and meditative techniques. It helps overcome both physical and mental stress while ensuring overall well-being. Regular practice of yogic techniques makes our lives more active and blissful.

Keeping all these factors in mind, AJSY has designed yoga courses that are unique in combining Asana, Pranayama and Dhyana. Participants will have the benefit of learning yoga from dedicated and expert teachers who are well versed in the authentic way of practicing yoga.

Yoga is not just a set of physical exercises or breathing techniques. It is a unique method discovered by the yogis of yore to be conscious of the self and look beyond the materialistic world to achieve oneness with the universe. When such a balance is maintained, human beings will attain a higher level of awareness, realize their true nature and live a fruitful life.

As a legendary Sanskrit poet declared, ‘Shareera Madhyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam’, meaning the physical body is the medium for righteous action. Our foremost priority should always be to maintain a healthy physical state where the body, mind and soul are in perfect harmony.

Yoga practice is an ideal method to achieve such perfect harmony. Interestingly, modern scientific research has concurred with the ancient belief that the yogic mind achieves a balance of the alpha, gamma and theta waves of energy which are responsible for obtaining higher consciousness and unlimited energy. Regular practice of yoga also helps overcome pain, cope with emotional imbalance, achieve better concentration and stay focused on higher goals.
