Definition
What is a Yoga Deep Dive Course?
A Yoga Deep Dive Course gives you the time and structure to study yoga more deeply in Rishikesh, whether you join for one week or stay for a full month.
Choose the subjects you want to explore and build your schedule around them. Alongside regular practice classes, Deep Dive students receive study material and additional weekly theory sessions that connect the practice with the ideas behind it.
It is not a teacher training or a retreat. It is a structured way to spend more time learning, practising and understanding yoga.

Vinyasa Flow
Breath-led movement, sequencing and dynamic practice.

Ashtanga
Traditional Ashtanga practice, including sequence, breath and alignment.

Yoga Nidra
Guided relaxation and yogic sleep for deep rest and awareness.

Sound Healing
Working with sound, vibration, singing bowls and other instruments.

10 / 15
Yoga Darshan / Philosophy
Study of yoga philosophy, including the Yoga Sutras and other classical texts.
- Who it suits
- Anyone who wants to know why, not only how.
- What it feels like

Mantra & Chanting
Explore mantra, pronunciation, repetition and the role of sound in practice.
- Who it suits

- What it feels like
- Seated, listening and observing; subtle rather than physical.
14 / 15
Aerial Yoga
Yoga practice using aerial fabric to explore movement, alignment and support.
- Who it suits
- People who want to try inversions safely, and anyone curious.

- Playful and surprising; the hammock takes your weight.

Kundalini
Practices exploring breath, meditation, mantra and energetic awareness.
- Who it suits

A class gives you an hour. A month with one practice gives you repetition, correction, and the time to ask better questions each week.
You don't always need another qualification. Sometimes you simply need more time with the practice.Compare
