Mantra is the divine accumulation of words, by which we can attain extreme spirituality and destroy negative obstacles. “Man” in Mantra means “Mind” and “Tra” means “Power”.
Mantra Reciting
Reciting the mantra helps the person in getting supreme knowledge and with this, the mind gets calm. With this, one gets free from the bondage of birth and death.

Ayurveda is often integrated into yoga teacher training programs as it provides a holistic approach to health and wellness. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that emphasizes the importance of balance and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit.
In a yoga teacher training program that includes Ayurveda, students learn about the basic principles of Ayurveda, including the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and how they relate to health and wellness. They also learn about the various Ayurvedic herbs, oils, and treatments that can be used to support overall health and wellbeing.
By integrating Ayurveda into a yoga teacher training program, students gain a deeper understanding of how yoga and Ayurveda complement each other in promoting physical, mental, and spiritual health. They also learn how to incorporate Ayurvedic principles into their yoga teaching, providing a more holistic and personalized approach to their students.
Overall, integrating Ayurveda into a yoga teacher training program enhances the depth and breadth of knowledge and skills that students gain, enabling them to offer a more comprehensive approach to health and wellness through yoga.
Shatkarma is the Sanskrit term for one of the six yogic purification techniques (kriyas) as outlined in the “Hatha Yoga Pradipika.” The purpose of these cleansing techniques is to keep the body strong, clean and healthy. They are said to remove toxins and anything blocking the flow of prana in the body. Practicing Shatkarmas internally purifies the body, which makes pranayama and meditation practice easier by preparing the body to perform these practices without distraction, discomfort or fatigue. This is a traditional yogic cleansing technique which is very effective and good to remove many illnesses and open the body blockages.
These Shatkarma Techniques are –
- Dhauti
- Basti
- Neti
- Nauli
- Trataka
- Kapalbhati
Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow.

Meeting Rajat, the owner of Akshat Yoga Shala has been life changer and a huge step in my yoga path. He is inspiring and the quality of the teaching is the best you can find. It’s a mix of pushing you to go further in your practice and also very kind and benevolent when needed. I learnt so much about the yoga philosophy, the correct execution of the postures and so much more I can hardly describe! I really recommend if you want to go further in your yoga journey!!
Hana Bartakova
Teacher Rajat introduced me into Hatha yoga and helped me a lot also personally. I learned a lot not only about adjustment of the yoga asanas but also a lot about yoga philosophy which I think is very important. I learned that to be a yoga teacher doesn’t mean I must be super flexible in body but more to be flexible in my mind and be able to share this knowledge with all my students. The role of the teacher is to help the students to improve their life. I know that I can’t just stop with one certificate, I must continue study – it is a whole life journey. The most important what I learned is that “yoga is not an exercise but a life style”. And I feel that now it is in my hand to introduce that into western world. And honestly, Rishikesh is one of the most beautiful places I have been. Already missing having chai by the river.
Ranjan Mishra
I did my 200 hours in April through Akshat Yogashala. I had the most incredible experience. The teachers were very supportive and knowledgeable. We received intense and profound training. Our asana teacher Rajat Ji was incredible. He was one of the best teachers and made the Asanas easy to understand. Our anatomy teacher and philosophy teacher were excellent and explained the subject very well and we understood the roots of yoga. The food was delicious and healthy and we looked forward to our meals. Overall an experience of a lifetime. 🙏🏼
Manjul Baluni
Attending the 200-hour TTC at Akshat Yogashala was a truly life-changing experience. The teachers, including Rajat ji, Deepa ji, and Swami Atma ji, were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. The food and accommodations were superb, and the location in a peaceful, lush green part of Rishikesh added to the overall serenity. I would definitely return to Akshat Yogashala for future yoga journeys. Highly recommended for an authentic and transformative yoga training.
