Trika is a unique international school offering its students the secret spiritual path of true Integral Yoga in a modern form. Trika provides an updated and upgraded self-development system whose theory includes comprehensive university-level teachings, combined with those of other sacred traditions from East and West (such as Taoism, Gnostic Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism). At the core of our teachings is the practice of an exceptional system of Kundalini-based Hatha Yoga and Laya Yoga, two of the most powerful elements of this age-old tradition. This is an approach nearly lost today which relies on energy awareness during Yoga practice to produce a highly accurate self-understanding of body, mind, and spirit. We focus also on meditation, healing through detox cleanses and purification, exploration of special topics in-depth through immersion workshop courses, teacher training (only offered in Thailand) and meditation retreats (only offered in Thailand) and elsewhere around the world.
Trika wishes to promote Yoga that resembles neither cheapened Hindu mysticism nor fitness-oriented gymnastics. We are interested in a third option: the pure and genuine Yoga discipline. Trika Yoga is a branch center of Agama. Agama Yoga is a registered member of both Yoga Alliance and The International Yoga Federation, thus are accredited to teach under the high standards of both organizations. The Agama headquarters is located in Thailand, where one can continue his or her studies. There is an extensive, five-year curriculum that is both thoroughly spiritual and yet adapted to the Western modern, rational mentality.
In Rishikesh, we teach our First Level Intensive Course, followed by Second and Third level, and workshops. Our courses are flexibly structured to allow each student to progress through the curriculum at his or her own pace, enabling a complete integration in the individual's daily life.
Our purpose is to offer support and clear, inspiring guidance to today's spiritual aspirants who wish to reach the highest metaphysical goal of Yoga and spirituality: Enlightenment.
