About
Nestled in the serene foothills of Dehradun, Yog Ganga Studio for Yoga Studies has been a beacon of authentic yoga practice since its inception by Swati and Rajiv Chanchani in June 1988. Under the esteemed guidance of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar, the studio relocated from Mussoorie to its current tranquil forested setting in Dehradun in 2002, creating an ideal sanctuary for self-discovery and holistic wellness.
The centerpiece of Yog Ganga is its beautifully designed building, blending seamlessly into the natural landscape. Featuring a spacious 1500 sq. ft. yoga hall, an extensive library, and dedicated areas for lectures and demonstrations, the center is impeccably equipped to support an enriching yoga journey. Surrounding the building are lush terraced gardens, brimming with vibrant flora, medicinal plants, and a variety of wildlife, fostering a harmonious environment that encourages reflection and growth.
At Yog Ganga, the approach to yoga is both comprehensive and integrative. Students benefit from an innovative curriculum that combines traditional asanas and pranayama with classical Indian philosophy, environmental studies, and health sciences. With ongoing general classes, specialized courses, and engaging talks by both resident and visiting scholars, there's a space for everyone—from local enthusiasts to international students seeking intensive training.
Community connection is a cornerstone of Yog Ganga's philosophy. Special events mark important cultural and spiritual occasions, and curated outings explore places of historical and natural significance. Whether participating in short-term retreats, hybrid classes, or weekly sessions, individuals will find a warm, welcoming community dedicated to the shared pursuit of balance, well-being, and a deeper understanding of yoga.
