Connotation
“Yogasva” comes from the Sanskrit language and is made up of two words: “Yoga” which means union, and “Sva” which means self. So, “Yogasva” can be translated as “the true essence of yoga within oneself” or “one who possesses the essence of yoga within themselves”.
Yogasva is founded with the sole intention to provide traditional yoga training with an authentic teaching style. At Yogasva you will not just learn yoga… Here you embark on the “path to eternal bliss”.
Yogasva
At Yogasva we offer intensive immersion residential teacher training programs in traditional yoga practice. Our teachers training program is US Yoga alliance accredited and is taught in a structured fashion with professional execution.
At Yogasva we adhere to the ancient traditional yoga practice and philosophy in its undiluted form keeping the roots of yoga intact and bring it as it is to the learners.
THE GENESIS OF YOGASVA
“YOGASVA” is fortunate to have born and taken its present form on the banks of Ganges in Rishikesh. After establishing a Yoga school in Rishikesh (with a partner) and successfully running it for few years Gayatri had to part ways with her partner and from this decision was born Yogasva. Like a phoenix rising from ashes, like Draupadhi born from Yajna, Yogasva is the manasa putri of Gayatri which slowly took its physical form and now has spread its wings ready to fly.
Most people have this misguided notion that Yoga is religiocentric, it’s very slow and boring or that it’s just a physical practice. To answer the people who have such notions here is our response. Please try joining authentic Yoga classes (Authentic being the key word) and you will notice all your misconstrued beliefs will be blown away.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver the true essence of yoga by providing the best education to aspiring yoga teachers. We aim to help them attain their goals while also helping them genuinely understand what yoga means. By embracing the yogic path with wild abandon, they can experience deeper joy, peace, and inner richness in life.

Our Vision
Our vision is to make a small difference one person at a time, by spreading our wings far and wide and touching as many lives as possible. We understand that every person desires to experience bliss but may not know the way to attain it. Our aim is to help such individuals with personal growth and self-transformation through yoga teachings and sharing our experiences in the field of meditation. We believe that a person is healthy when physically fit, mentally strong, and intrinsically happy.

RISHIKESH
