About Atharv Yogshala

Welcome to Atharv Yogshala in Rishikesh

Meet Kuldeep & Lisa - Founders of Atharv Yogshala

Namaste! we are Kuldeep and Lisa, an intercultural couple from India and Germany. We are the heart and soul behind Atharv Yogshala, a renowned yoga school located in the spiritual heart of India—Rishikesh, famously known as the “World Capital of Yoga.” Our journey as yoga practitioners and teachers has been an evolving one, deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of yoga, yet imbued with modern understandings. Together, we have blended our cultural backgrounds and unique experiences to create a space that fosters holistic growth and well-being through the transformative power of yoga.

A Shared Vision, A Global Mission

Kuldeep, originally from India, grew up surrounded by the spiritual richness of Indian culture, where yoga is more than a practice—it’s a way of life. Lisa, hailing from Germany, discovered yoga while working as an architect and deepend her practice during her travels, seeking balance and inner peace.

We met during one of our yoga training sessions and soon realized that our shared passion for yoga, wellness, and teaching could lead to something much bigger. For years, we both taught in different schools and locations, gathering invaluable experience and insights into the diverse aspects of yoga. We explored different styles—Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin—and studied the teachings of renowned gurus. While teaching abroad and in India, we saw how yoga’s profound benefits could transcend boundaries, languages, and cultures. However, we both felt a desire for something deeper: a place we could call our own, where we could cultivate a community centered around the holistic principles of yoga.

The Birth of Atharv Yogshala

Our dream was to create a space that is more than just a yoga school—one that embodied the essence of an ashram, where yoga was not just a physical practice but a spiritual and mental journey as well. In 2022, we took a leap of faith and founded Atharv Yogshala in Rishikesh, a place known for its spiritual energy and scenic beauty, nestled on the serene and magnificent Rajaji Nationalpark, close to the Ganga.
Atharv Yogshala offers a wide array of programs that cater to both beginners and advanced practitioners.
