The Story Behind Adishesh Yoga, Rishikesh
Adishesh Yoga sits on the banks of the sacred Ganga River, beneath the Himalayan foothills, on the outskirts of Rishikesh — the Yoga Capital of the World. The name Adishesh comes from two Sanskrit words: "adi" (first, primordial) and "shesha" (that which remains). Also known as Ananta, Adishesh is the cosmic serpent upon whom Lord Vishnu rests, symbolizing eternal, infinite support — a fitting name for a school built to support every student's yoga journey.
According to tradition, Sage Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras, is regarded as an incarnation of Adishesh, who took human form to share the knowledge of yoga with the world. Adishesh also represents kundalini shakti — the dormant spiritual energy within every practitioner. This is the philosophy we carry into every class at Adishesh Yoga: yoga not just as movement, but as an awakening.
