At Rishikesh Yog Darshan School, we believe that true health goes beyond physical fitness—it involves aligning the body, mind, and spirit with the rhythms of nature. That’s why Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of life, is an essential part of our yoga teacher training curriculum.
Often called the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda provides a practical framework for balanced living. While yoga focuses on physical postures, breathwork, and meditation, Ayurveda guides your daily habits, nutrition, and mental outlook. Together, these systems offer a holistic lifestyle that promotes deep healing and sustainable well-being.
Understanding Your Dosha
A cornerstone of Ayurvedic knowledge is the concept of doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which are energetic forces present in every individual. Each person has a unique combination of these doshas, and maintaining their balance is key to good health.
In our courses, you’ll learn to identify your dosha and understand how it influences your body type, mental tendencies, digestion, and emotional state. More importantly, we teach you how to adapt your yoga practice and lifestyle according to your individual constitution for optimal results.
Ayurvedic Daily Routines (Dinacharya)
Health starts with what you do daily. Our training introduces the principles of dinacharya, or Ayurvedic daily routines, which include practices like tongue scraping, oil pulling, self-massage (abhyanga), and mindful eating. These rituals are simple but powerful tools to cleanse the body, sharpen the mind, and elevate your energy throughout the day.
Food and Nutrition
Ayurveda teaches that food is medicine. You’ll explore how to choose foods that balance your dosha, support digestion (agni), and promote vitality. Meals at Rishikesh Yog Darshan are prepared following Ayurvedic principles—fresh, vegetarian, seasonal, and satvik (pure). We also cover guidelines for mindful eating and food combinations that help prevent imbalance and disease.
Seasonal Living
Nature’s cycles deeply affect our well-being. Ayurveda teaches how to adjust your diet, activities, and yoga practice based on the changing seasons. For example, cooling foods and calming asanas are recommended during the heat of summer (Pitta season), while grounding practices are ideal for the dry, cold months of winter (Vata season).
Herbal Remedies and Detoxification
Our curriculum also introduces basic herbal medicine, natural detox techniques like triphala and panchakarma, and simple remedies for common ailments. These tools empower you to take your health into your own hands in a safe and natural way.
