SAGE HOUSE YOGA
What is the meaning and motive of Sage House Yoga?
The word "SAGE" means a wise person, someone who has attained great wisdom through experience, study, or contemplation. "House" in this context can be described as a home away from home. We believe, it is important to give our students a home-like comfort so that they can focus on what is happening inside and outside with undivided attention. "YOGA" is the union of the finite with the infinite self.
Yoga is a practice that emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness, which are key components of wisdom. By cultivating a deeper understanding of ourselves and our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, we can make wiser choices and lead more fulfilling lives. With this in mind, our motive is to create a positive ambiance where one can get the maximum benefit from Yoga and prepare themselves for the beginning of endless possibilities!
Vidya Param Balam
"Vidya param balam" is a Sanskrit phrase that translates to "knowledge is the ultimate power/strength." It emphasizes the importance of education and learning in life.
Knowledge and education are crucial for personal and societal development, and they can empower individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve success in various domains of life, hence it is the most valuable possession a person can have, and when knowledge is shared in its real form with others it then becomes wisdom. With wisdom, one can go into very deep practice which may further lead to enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This belief is reflected in ancient texts, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, which emphasize the pursuit of knowledge as a means to attain spiritual growth and understanding.

Ankit Ji and Shivani Ji were the best hosts I had opted for a 3 day yoga retreat where there were multiple yoga sessions, acro yoga with my partner and a nice excursion We also saw Ganga Arti which was peaceful and heart touching It started raining in Rishikesh but Ankit ji and Shivani Ji made sure that we have a comfortable stay and we keep having something fun and relaxing to do It was mu partner’s birthday and they went out of their way to get a cake for us.

We spend the last days of the year at Sage Yoga House for Partneryoga-Retreat and learned so much about ourselfs - about connection, trust in our abilities and in each other. Gained strenght, selfconfidence, and were able to recharge, but also experienced new aspects of yoga, meditation and pranayama. Learned about the spirituality of Rishikesh and Maa Ganga. Enjoyed the excursions and got to know you warmhearted, beautiful and inspiring people. New friendships were built plus i got the gift of experiencing indian birthdaycelebrations and found my super-Annie ;) inside. Thank you Ankit for showing me what my body is able to do and leading my Yogapath to Ashtanga. Thank you Rohit for your spiritual guidiance and soundhealing. Thank you Ena for your heart, smile and caring soul. We enjoyed the place, the food and the spirit of Tapovan. The only thing which you guys could improve in is punctuality and a clearer scedule. We will carry the Rishikesh-spirit with us on our further travels and will bring all this wonderful memories back home. Hope to meet you again some day. Om shanti - your power-coupe. Bachir Benterki2023-12-31 Nice class of accro. The accro class is cool, it took place outside and the experience was pleasant! Good teacher, friendly and good guide ✨ Je recommande, endroit super, prof amical et avenant et la classe excellente 🙌🏾 Secil Uyaniker2023-12-28 I followed a two day retreat with Sage House in November 2023. We started our mornings with a Hatha yoga class, made a very fun excursion to a waterfall, did an afternoon class at the ghat, and even had a short sound healing session. Ankit made sure to take a lot of photos of us during our practice, so now I have many beautiful memories to look back at. Ankit and Rohit are very talented teachers and above all they are both lovely people. Unfortunately the meditation teacher was ill so I did not have a chance to meet them, but I am confident that all teachers who teach here are excellent. The accommodation was very modern. I stayed in a spacious private cottage which had all amenities from a kettle to a TV. In the evenings there was a cozy bonfire in the garden to sit around and chat. The atmosphere of the accommodation is quite lively with many guests enjoying the garden and the nearby restaurant until late at night. I even got to watch a pre-wedding movie shoot from my doorstep :) All in all if you’re looking for a fun and modern yoga retreat experience with amazing teachers, Sage House is a good choice. Anna Sharafulina2023-12-25 Thank you so much, Ankit ji 🙏🏼 Yoga with you is always fun 🧘🏽♀️
