Welcome to Rishikesh Yog Peeth

Written by - Simon Piskorz


Welcome to yoga peeth (Simon’s moral of the story)

If you come to yoga peeth, you never know when you will leave
I’ve booked for only one week, still here for the ceremony
Oh we never know what’s gonna be tomorrow

Many temptations around between the burger and the queen
The best way to resist temptation is to succumb to it
Oh now I really know I don’t care about tomorrow

So come to yoga peeth if you’re searching your path
Welcome to yoga peeth and your joy may never last

I have learned that our mind could change the structure of water
Maybe we could use this power to help our brothers and sisters
Oh now I really know oh that I believe in you

My respect for our teachers who has shown us what is yoga
Especially for Manoj the disciple of Shakira
Oh now I really know oh that I believe in you

So come to yoga peeth if you’re searching your path
Welcome to yoga peeth and your joy may never last

I went to see prem baba, I’ve been touched by his presence
He said that we’re on this earth to learn that love is our essence
Oh now I really know oh that we need to grow

The moral of the story, everyone has his own one
My moral is that finally, that finally we are one
Oh now I really know oh I’ll never forget you

Karma Yoga – Help Building A New Ashram

Written by Beata(YTTC/Feb/2011)


Part of staying at the ashram is karma yoga; usually in the form of daily service for the ashram. Julia Roberts in “Eat, Pray, Love” had to scrub the floors of the meditation hall. We had to help build a new ashram.

On one of the beautiful Sunday mornings we all got into a few taxis that took us up the hill along the Ganga River to the new construction site. When we got off we found that the only way to get to the place was a pretty difficult 30 minute hike. The narrow and windy path up the hill was rather challenging, but the view from the ashram payed off for every drop of sweat.

Before we started working we took a little trip to the nearby village, where one of the locals gladly showed us his awesome property. We all wandered around for almost an hour enjoying amazing views, tranquility and wonderful aromas of flowers, herbs and grass.

There were about 50 people living in the village and some of them, especially kids, came out to greet us. They were happy to pose for the pictures and excited to see the preview on the camera.

The new ashram is hand-built. There are about 30 people working on it constantly. No cranes, no machines, no trucks, no loud noises, no due date ether. It’s a quiet and peaceful construction site built stone by stone by a few women, men and donkeys.

Our job was to move some of those stones from one side of the land to the other. We formed a long line and the work began.

After we were done with the work we all walked down to the neighboring waterfalls where we washed our hands and faces from dust and sweat. It felt so good to cool down in the crystal clear and cold water.

When we came back to the ashram, a delicious lunch was served. The meal was unbelievably aromatic because it was cooked on a wooden fire.

It was an amazing day. I can’t wait for the grand opening of the place. The plan is to make the new ashram self sustainable, so I am very excited to come back here in a few years and spend a few weeks in these amazing surroundings.

Yoga Teacher Training In India - Blog by Callie

Today, while in the yoga hall, a monkey peed on us.

I love India.

It's hard to believe that we are almost done with week two of our Teacher Training Course at Yog Peeth, Rishikesh. Our days are filled with Yoga Asanas (poses), learning anatomy and philosophy, eating, drinking masala chai, sunbathing on the rooftops, pouring water through our nostrils, chasing monkeys away, meditating, memorizing mantras, eating some more, studying, and more yoga yoga yoga.. I'm in heaven!!!
