WELCOME TO SATBODH FOUNDATION
Consciousness Rooted in ‘Truth’
In the absence of mental clutter, only the divine remains.
What is Yoga:
Science of Self-Realization
A disciple once asked curiously, “Master, am I body alone or something else?” The Master replied, “If you live in any house, do you become that house?” The disciple aptly replied, “No.” The Master continued, “Just as the dweller and the house are separate, in the same way, you are not the body; you merely dwell in it.” Yogic science always begins with the physical body because it is the outermost and gross aspect of your being. You are familiar with the body, mind and the senses — but not the underpinning truth. The body, breath and mind are merely the vehicle for “Self”-realization. In a nutshell, yoga is the exploration of the deeper dimensions of consciousness.
Hatha Yoga Teacher Training
Hatha yoga combines science and spirituality to create a deeper understanding of yourself. The training begins with anatomy, physiology, and the study of the mind, building a strong foundation for practice. Through asanas, you develop strength, flexibility, balance and awareness, while breathing kriyas help harmonize the body and mind. This program equips you with the knowledge and skills to teach yoga and integrate its principles into daily life. The hatha yoga teacher training begins with basic asanas of expansion and contraction followed by pranayama, bandha, mudra, shatkarma and meditation techniques.

Meditation: A silent space where everything is perceived as it truly is
What is Meditation?
Meditation is neither an exotic concept nor a spiritual imagination. At times, while gazing at the open sky or witnessing a simple moment in nature, one may suddenly encounter an ‘indescribable’ sense of beauty. In that instant, the mind becomes quiet and a natural stillness emerges. Such moments offer a glimpse into the meditative state. Children often experience this openness more naturally than adults, as their minds are less conditioned by habitual patterns of thought and psychological distractions.
12-days Bodh Meditation
7-Day Sivoham Kriya
Chakra and nadi purification prepares you for the mystic pulsation of kundalini
Kundalini Yoga
The word “Kundalini” literally means “coiled“.“ Just as a coiled wire doesn’t display its full length until it is stretched out, human possibility remains hidden. Most people remain ‘unconscious’ and live mechanically even when they are awake. Living below your potential is like having the ability to cross a river yet remaining content inside a well. Straightened Kundalini awakens your innate abilities, helping you become the finest expression of yourself. Kundalini yoga teacher training course stirs the dormant possibility that can transform every dimension of your life.
The seven chakras represent subtle stages of human evolution. Living only at the base level means remaining focused on basic needs such as food, shelter and pleasure. You may feel satisfied with this limited world, just as a person at the bottom of a well may mistake it for the entire sky. Kundalini yoga helps you move beyond these limitations, awaken your hidden potential and explore higher levels of consciousness, wisdom and spiritual awareness.
21-day Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
This 21-day Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training takes you on a journey of self-discovery. It begins with what you already know—your body, breath and mind. Beyond these familiar experiences lies a deeper truth waiting to be explored. It is called the pathless path because the journey begins within you. As you explore within, you recognise what is real and lasting. The course includes 10 days of inner and outer purification, followed by 11 days of advanced Kundalini Kriya.
The training includes pranayama, mantra recitation, seed mantras and chakra meditation. It gradually purifies your energy pathways and removes subtle obstacles to pave the way for vital energy flow. Gradually, you move from physical frailty to vitality; restless emotional instability to inner strength, and confusion to mental clarity. These practices expand self-awareness, awaken hidden potential and help you move beyond limited self-identity towards higher consciousness.
