Yogi Sidharthji
Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga
As the founder of Maharishi yoga Peeth Sidharth strives to spread the learnings he has gathered through his yogic lifestyle over the years with the world. His spiritual journey started in the early 2000s, when he took a trip to rishikesh , a holy destination in India, and interacted with an inspirational swami ji who changed his perspective towards life. That meeting inspired him to pursue yoga as a way of life, as opposed to a practice done once in a while.

He has taught more than ten thousand students from across the globe over the past 14 years.
He is also an Ashtanga Yoga Educator, as authorized by the institution in Mysore, South India. Over time, Sidharth perfected his understanding of Hatha yoga, which comprises Sivananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga and meditation techniques such as Vipassana and Ancient Sound Healing. He assimilated the benefits that each of them bring to a practitioner – from willpower and patience to self-awareness and confidence, and then set out to become a traditional Hatha yoga instructor in the Yoga capital of the world – Rishikesh. To quote him ‘Your body is like a tree, and yoga is the seed that helps you grow and stay connected to your roots.
