Ayurveda is the oldest and the most natural system of medicine that originated in India years ago. It is approximately 3000 years ago medicinal science. Ayurveda is derived from two words, "Ayur" means "Life" and "Veda" means "Science", thus Ayurveda describes the meaning "Science of Life" or 'Knowledge of Life'. As per Ayurvedic Science, the body is made up of five elements, i.e. Akash (Ether), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Apas (Water), and Prithvi (Earth). These 5 elements create 3 doshas namely, Kapha, Vata and Pitta. When these are balanced, then an individual remains healthy and when these are imbalances, an individual remains ill. Ayurveda helps in balancing all of these to give you a healthy lifestyle.

Kuldeep Ji was our amazing, motivating and passionate hatha, anatomy and teaching
methodology teacher during my 300 hours yoga teacher training in Rishikesh. His deep
theorical and practical knowledge (including ashtanga, iyengar, yin, vinyasza and
various
yoga styles), his professional attitude, his perfect adjustments and alignments,
were
incredibly helpful and inspiring to make the most out of classes and to discover a
deeper
level of practice and connection with oneself.
Sharing with us not only his
knowledge, but thoughts and experiences too, I can be just very grateful that I
could learn
of him. One day at sunrise time he also acompanied us to visit together a local
temple that
is important and beautiful venue and part of the local hindi culture. Thank you very
much
Kuldeep Ji. Wish you the best. Namasté 🙏🏾❤️
My experience at Atharv Yogashala in Rishikesh for my Yoga TTC was amazing. Kuldeep teacher was a great help and guide. All the teachers and staff were also very helpful in my learning of yoga anatomy, Ayurveda, yoga asana alignment, and adjustment. The teachers were honest, humble, funny, and clear, and they efficiently covered a lot of study material in a short time. The rooms had everything I needed, and the food was delicious and nourishing. The ashram location was very peaceful, with no noise or crowds, creating a perfect environment for study. I highly recommend this school for a focused and serene YTT in Rishikesh! Thank you, Atharv Yogashala team, for everything. Namaste 🙏🏽
The yoga teacher training at Atharv Yogshala is truly one of a kind. Nestled in the heart of
nature, the peaceful surroundings create the perfect space to connect with yourself and
focus on your journey. The training is not just about becoming a yoga teacher – it’s a
transformative experience that brings incredible personal growth, whether you plan to teach
or not.
The teachers, especially Kuldeep, Isabel, and Hugo, put so much effort into making every
part of the training meaningful and accessible. Even as a non-native English speaker, I felt
supported every step of the way, and completing the course in English helped me grow not
only in yoga but also in my language skills.
The accommodation was so clean and comfortable, the food was absolutely top-notch, and the
sense of community was truly special. Everyone grows together so quickly – it felt like
being part of a family. I’m so grateful for this life-changing experience and couldn’t
recommend it enough!
I did the 300h YTTC in March 2025. It was such a good and inspiring experience. The two owners Lisa and Kuldeep are so warm, lovely and put in an incredible amount of effort. But the other yoga teachers were also great. I enjoyed every minute of this challenging journey. I can only warmly recommend it to everyone. I'll definitely be back and will do the hiking retreat next time.
"I took the 200h yoga teacher training and had an amazing experience!
I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their yoga practice for personal or
professional purposes, as the training is also recognized by Yoga Alliance.
Kuldeep is a great teacher and his deep knowledge of yoga made sure everyone was able to
follow his classes with confidence; his fondness of hinduism gave us valuable insights and
notions from this rich spiritual tradition that translate extremely well into the 21st
century.
I will surely return to this school for retreats and further training."
