Anup Bhatt and Pravesh Rawat, the founders of Kewalya Yogshala, are dedicated professionals with extensive experience in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Accupressure. Their passion for these ancient sciences drives their commitment to providing authentic and transformative experiences for all who seek their guidance.
At Kewalaya Yogshala, we believe that yoga isn’t just about the physical poses—it’s about finding harmony within yourself, with others, and with the world around you. Our journey started with a simple goal: to create a space where people could truly connect with the ancient practices of yoga in a way that feels real, meaningful, and personal.
Located in the peaceful heart of Dehradun, our yogshala offers more than just a training center. It’s a community, a place where you can step away from the distractions of daily life and dive deep into the transformative power of yoga. We’re passionate about teaching yoga as a complete way of life—not just focusing on asanas, but also pranayama, meditation, and a rich understanding of yoga philosophy.
Our experienced teachers guide you every step of the way, whether you’re taking your first steps on the mat or you’re deepening an already established practice. With small class sizes and personalized attention, we make sure you feel supported, heard, and encouraged to grow—not just as a practitioner but as an individual.
Our Yoga Teacher Training Programs are designed to give you all the tools you need to share the gift of yoga with the world. We offer 200-hour, 300-hour, and 500-hour certification courses, each crafted with a balance of practical experience and deep theory. Our courses are recognized by Yoga Alliance, so whether you want to teach professionally or simply enrich your personal practice, you’ll leave here ready to make an impact.
