Sitting amidst the deep and peaceful forest surrounding the foothills of the Himalayas is a hidden gem. Adjacent to the Patna village and sitting atop the Patna waterfall on the Manikoot hill is Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram by Rishikesh Yogpeeth.

Apart from being a registered yoga school, Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram also is becoming a popular place for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The calm and peaceful ambiance at the Ashram makes it seem like you are living in the middle of nowhere when in reality, you are just 5 kilometers away from the busy market lanes of Laxman Jhula, Rishikesh.

Reaching the Ashram requires a 20-30 minutes hike through the rocky terrain of the Manikoot hill, which is an adventure in itself. A yoga school for aspiring yoga teachers and an ashram retreat for vacationers, Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram has the essence of both.

It offers the serenity of a yoga ashram but still has enough modern amenities to make the stay more comfortable for vacationers. The lush green surroundings, picturesque cottages, ayurvedic facility, dining area, and other amenities make the Ashram a preferable choice for people aiming for a workation.

Founded by Digamber Nautiyal and Roshan Singh in 2005, Abhayaranya - Rishikesh Yogpeeth is an organization with the aim to spread the awareness of holistic living under the guidance of Vedic wisdom as Yoga, Meditation, and Ayurveda.

The hills in Rishikesh have been the abode of our rishi-munis from ancient times. The positive vibrations of their meditation can still be felt if one has faith.

The Visionaries Behind The Rishikesh Yogpeeth

In 2005, Digamber Nautiyal and Roshan Singh founded Rishikesh Yogpeeth with the aim of facilitating yoga teacher training and retreats in India. They built a facility that is a balance between modern lines and cultural roots. The aim was to include international standards while keeping the integrity of the yogic lifestyle intact in the Ashram.

Roshan Singh - Co-founder and President of Rishikesh Yogpeeth

Roshan Singh is the visionary behind the Rishikesh Yogpeeth, who worked hard to manifest the dream of founding a yoga ashram into reality. He has dedicated his life to the Ashram, and according to him, the events in the Ashram are the process required for the evolution of human awareness.

He started his journey as a yoga teacher in the year 2005. Over the years, he has taught Yoga Philosophy, Yogic Anatomy and Physiology, Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation. With all of this vast experience, he also holds E-RYT 500 under Yoga Alliance registration.

Digamber Nautiyal - Co-founder and Secretary of Rishikesh Yogpeeth

While Roshan was managing the front stage of the ashram, teaching classes, and interacting with yoga seekers, Digamber Nautiyal was holding the fort from backstage. Managing the finances, looking into logistics, and getting the engine room of Rishikesh Yogpeeth going in full steam.

What is most surprising for people who know him well is his understanding and knowledge of the two contrasting facets of life -his business acumen to bring a concept of RYP to realization when everything around these two friends was going pear-shaped.

And his knowledge and spiritual insight on life, deep understanding of scriptures, his very fresh take on Bhagwad Geeta, and how it is not just a book but very much our day-to-day life is just flabbergasting to hear. For those who know him well, Digamber is an inspiration for living a true yogic life in a materialistic world. He hardly sleeps for 4 hours a day to see a dream with an open eye to bring them into existence, a Karma Yogi through and through.

Life At the Ashram

Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram is a spiritual place where one can completely detach themself from their hectic schedule and find some peace of mind. Learning yoga and meditation at the Ashram also helps with developing inner peace.

The day at the Ashram starts early at 5:00 am with the morning routine consisting of sessions on Mantra chanting, Yoga Asanas, Pranayam, Ayurveda, and Indian philosophy.

Waking up early gives one a chance to soak up the positive vibrations of the morning sun while listening to the twittering of many local and migratory birds. The morning routine is followed by satvik, or traditional yogic breakfast, in the large dining area of the Ashram.

The breakfast scenes include communal eating, a traditional Indian way of sharing food from the same utensil. The satvik and vegetarian food are good for your health. Meditation and chanting will flood you with a peace you never thought was possible.

All the meals throughout the day are prepared with limited spices and non-tamasic flavors. In order to achieve some sense of self-discipline, one has to wash their own dishes after having a meal.

The day follows with multiple sessions on asanas, Ayurveda, yoga workshops, and meditation. Practicing asanas will make you stronger as time passes.

If you are on a workation, then you can choose to skip out the classes and instead utilize the wifi and your private room to catch up on your work. However, by following the scheduled routine, not only will you learn discipline but also find relaxation amidst the chaos of life and gain spiritual discovery, which will eventually widen the horizon of your thinking.
