World Hindu Centres exists to keep the Sanatana tradition alive and teachable. Our Rishikesh centre sits in the Himalayan foothills beside the Ganges — the town where this practice has been handed down for centuries — and teaches classical yoga, asana, kriya, pranayama and meditation alongside traditional Ayurvedic care.
We run 200, 300 and 500-hour yoga teacher training courses alongside shorter meditation and Ayurveda retreats. Morning satsang, scripture study and the festival calendar are open to everyone staying with us, at no extra cost — they are part of the centre, not an add-on.
Groups stay small and our teachers live on campus, so instruction is personal rather than delivered to a room. An Ayurvedic doctor and therapy rooms on site support the practice as the tradition intends, and every course fee helps fund the centre's community work.
