The 'yoga capital of the world', Rishikesh, situated on the banks of the holy
Ganges river in the foothills of the Himalayas, is the appropriate setting for
this annual festival. Yoga masters come from all over the world, every February,
to gives lectures, demonstrate and explore the major traditions of Yoga (Hatha,
Raja, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana).
The town has several Yoga schools and ashrams, and most of these offer packages
for 7 / 10/ 14 days, covering meditation, pranayamas (breathing techniques),
aasana (postures) practice, and Hindu philosophy.
