Course overview

Who is the founder of Avatar Yoga School?

Avatar Yoga School was started by our founder in Rishikesh to teach yoga honestly and carefully, in a calm place, to anyone ready to learn. The school has taught for more than 12 years, and students from over 60 countries have studied here.

Our founder still guides the school's direction: which courses we offer, how long they run, how much time goes to practice and study, and how we speak to students before they enrol. Decisions about courses, timings and fees are made with one question in mind: will this help a student learn?

This page tells you about the person behind the school, what they believe about teaching yoga and the values that shape every course. If you would like to meet or speak with our founder before you book, you can ask the team.

Philosophy

What does the founder of Avatar Yoga School believe about teaching yoga?

Four beliefs shape how the school teaches: yoga is learned by doing, teachers should explain rather than impress, honesty comes before sales, and every body is different.

Yoga is learned by doing

You can read about breathing for years, but you only understand it when you practise. Courses put daily practice first and use lectures to explain it.

Teachers should explain, not impress

A good teacher makes a subject clearer, not harder. The aim is that you can repeat and teach what you learn, in your own words.

Honesty comes before sales

Students get dates, fees and inclusions in writing, and an honest answer if another course or school would suit them better.

Every body is different

Poses and breath practices need options. Teachers adapt classes for injuries, stiffness and age, and they never ask you to push through pain.

Choosing a school

What should you look for in the founder of a yoga school?

A founder shapes the school, so it helps to know who they are. Look for clear training, years of teaching, openness to questions and a school that runs well in daily life.

Clear training

A founder should be able to say where and with whom they trained, and for how long. Vague answers are a warning sign.

Years of teaching

Teaching experience matters as much as certificates. Ask how long the founder has taught and which subjects they teach best.

Openness to questions

A good founder welcomes questions about fees, teachers and the syllabus, and answers them in writing.

A school that stands on its own

Check that the school has qualified teachers and clear systems, so that the courses do not depend on one person.
