Samast Yoga School

We are located in the Shiv Gauri Building on Neelkanth Road in Rishikesh. It’s a bit of a walk up the road, and you can see the hills all around. The building itself is quite simple. We have a room where we put down the mats for the yoga sessions. It’s usually pretty quiet here, apart from the birds and the occasional motorbike going past on the way to the temple. The floors are hard, so we make sure the mats are thick enough. We don't have a fancy reception desk or a juice bar. It’s just a space for yoga. The air is a bit fresher here than down in the main town, which is nice. We have some shelves for bags and shoes by the door. The windows stay open most of the time to let the breeze in. We’ve been in this part of Uttranchal for a while, and we’ve seen a lot of people come and go. Our routine is mostly the same every day, starting early before the sun gets too hot. The walls are painted white and there isn't much decoration. We like to keep things plain so there isn't much to distract you. Sometimes the monkeys come onto the balcony, so we have to keep an eye on our things. It’s a basic, practical place for anyone looking to do some yoga in Rishikesh. That's really all there is to it. We just open up, clean the floors, and start the day.
