About -
Indian Yoga Alliance
Our yoga school is a leading education center for Yoga and Ayurveda. We offer training's and retreats, as well as daily classes, to practice the original knowledge of yoga and meditation, as preserved in the Vedas.
Indian Yoga Alliance is a unit of Rishikesh Yoga Foundation, a not-for-profit organization founded in the birthplace of yoga (Rishikesh, India). Rishikesh Yoga Foundation works in partnership with existing communities (yoga studios, schools, senior centers, and more) around the world to integrate the heart and meaning of Yoga into their instruction and culture.
Our school offers "modern" yoga practice -- 60-75 minutes of guided exercise or meditation practice -- while following the traditional format: guru (guide) presents the methods and principles directly to an individual or small group of sincere students, over a course of time.
Indian Yoga Alliance is located in Saratoga Springs, NY, a city historically made famous by seekers of natural healing, and the home of America's first healing spa.
Our Vision -
Our ethos is Yoga For Everyone. Your Wellness is our Mantra.
We are a holy Family — a global community of yoga and meditation practitioners, living in a modern context + maintaining an Ayurvedic lifestyle of karma yoga ("unselfish action") in peace and service — in Rishikesh, India and Saratoga Springs, New York, USA, and the world between.
