Brief Introduction 

A scholar who became a solo seeker

Satbodh Foundation is a registered company under Indian Companies Act, 2013 and registered with Yoga Alliance, USA. Located near Rishikesh, we primarily focused on classical hatha yoga practiced in the tranquil surroundings and far from the maddening crowd. You can join our certified yoga school for individual growth or begin any YTT course in recognition with Yoga Alliance, USA. 

We blend timeless yoga teaching with modern scientific mind with care and clarity. The elements of hatha yoga are systematically arranged, beginning with outer preparation rooted in scientific understanding. One cannot enter the subtle dimension until the mind and body are stabilized in the physical realm. 

To enter the spiritual awareness and explore the subtle dimensions of life, one must first cultivate essential inner qualities. These are outlined below:

01

Inner Sensitivity

Spirituality begins with becoming aware of and receptive to your inner experiences of thoughts, emotions and sensations with clarity and openness.

02

In 'Now'

In divinity, there is no past or future only present moment. Mind dwelling in these extreme points is considered to be unconscious one.

03

Mind-Body Stability

The purpose of asana and pranayama practices is to bring inner and outer stability. It conserves energy, refines focus and prepares you for inward journey.

04

Sensitivity to Breath

This is the simplest way to bring turbulent mind under control as breath happens in present. It is the first portal to the inner divine world.

05

Detached Action

Perform your actions like a flowing river, with no fruits in mind. It cultivates the wisdom of involvement without bondage.

06

Silence is Gold

Silence is surest path to explore the deepest dimensions of spiritual life. The deeper the silence, the closer you come to spiritual realization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, anyone can become a certified yoga teacher if he/she undergoes 200 Hour YTTC training with devotion and surrender to Guru. You need to balance practical and theoretical training under 4-week yoga training to maximize your potential as a promising yoga teacher from any yoga school affiliated to Yoga Alliance, USA.

The 200 hour YTTC runs as a four-week (24-day) residential course with four weekends, combining daily practice, theory and teaching methodology from early morning to evening.

The core of the 200-hour training is traditional hatha yoga — asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, shatkarma and meditation — taught alongside anatomy, philosophy and teaching methodology, so you understand yoga both as a practice and as a way of life.

On successfully completing our Yoga Alliance registered course you receive an RYS 200 certificate, with which you can register directly with Yoga Alliance, USA as an RYT 200.

Satbodh teaches authentic, traditional hatha yoga in a serene setting away from the crowd, with small groups, personal mentorship and an emphasis on inner transformation rather than only physical practice.

No prior teaching experience is required. A sincere interest in yoga, basic physical fitness and a willingness to follow the disciplined daily schedule are all you need to begin.

Traditional hatha yoga is a complete science of inner transformation — balancing body, breath and mind through asana, pranayama, kriya and meditation — whereas modern yoga often emphasises only the physical, fitness-oriented aspect of practice.

Students are evaluated on practical demonstration, teaching practice, attendance and discipline, and a written or oral assessment of theoretical understanding, in line with Yoga Alliance requirements.
