Your Accommodations

The Rooms

A perfect place to stay is essential in order to allow one to relax after a wonderful yoga practice. Another component in making yoga a truly enjoyable and beneficial experience is convenience. Living in the close embrace of nature is in and of itself a revitalizing experience for the "Would-be" real Yogi, nestled in the Himalayan foothills next to the lovely Ganges.

The Food

You avoid fried meals, processed foods, canned foods, and other unhealthy foods when you follow a sattvic diet. This controls cholesterol levels and shields against heart disease. Since sattvic food maintains our stomach content with simple digestion and absorption, diabetes and several malignancies are also warded off.

Yogi Sidharthji

Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga

As the founder of Maharishi yoga Peeth Sidharth strives to spread the learnings he has gathered through his yogic lifestyle over the years with the world. His spiritual journey started in the early 2000s, when he took a trip to rishikesh , a holy destination in India, and interacted with an inspirational swami ji who changed his perspective towards life. That meeting inspired him to pursue yoga as a way of life, as opposed to a practice done once in a while.

Shubh has studied and practiced Yoga under many great Guru/ Masters from different Yoga schools like Ashtanga and Iyengar.
