A Yogic Journey Rooted in Rishikesh
Swaroop Yogic Life (SYL) is a traditional yoga and meditation school based in Rishikesh, Himalaya.
The school was founded in 2010 by Acharya Prem Swaroop Ji (legally known as Sanjeet Laljeet Prasad).
From a small, simple space in Rishikesh, SYL has grown into a learning community that has shared yoga and meditation across India, China, Japan, and the USA.
Yet our heart remains the same: live yoga with sincerity, share it with humility, and teach it as a complete path.
We keep our values simple and practical. They guide how we teach, how we live, and how we interact with every student.

Swaroop Yogic Life is based in Rishikesh, on the banks of the sacred Ganga, at the foothills of the Himalayas. Rishikesh is known worldwide as the Yoga Capital of the World. For thousands of years, seekers, sages, and practitioners have come here to: Meditate in silence Study scriptures Live a simple, disciplined life What makes Rishikesh special for your yoga journey: Sacred Landscape – mountains, river, temples, and ashrams in one place Spiritual Vibration – countless hours of mantra, meditation, and worship have charged this land Yogic Culture – daily aarti, satsangs, and spiritual gatherings are part of life here Practicing yoga in Rishikesh naturally supports introspection, discipline, and inner growth.
Although our base is in Rishikesh, our teachings have reached: India through trainings and workshops in major cities China, Japan, USA – through courses, retreats, and collaborations Wherever SYL goes, we carry the same essence: Respect for tradition Clarity in teaching Focus on transformation, not performance We welcome students from all cultures and backgrounds who are: Curious about the deeper side of yoga Ready to go beyond physical practice Willing to look within and grow
Swaroop Yogic Life is suitable for: Beginners who want a strong foundation in traditional yoga Serious practitioners who want to deepen their practice and understanding Aspiring teachers who want to teach from experience, not imitation Existing teachers who want to refine their alignment, sequencing, and spiritual grounding You do not need to be flexible, strong, or perfect.

Our vision is simple: To share authentic yoga from the Himalayas with the world, and to support each student in discovering their true inner light – their Swaroop. We believe that when one person becomes more conscious, more peaceful, and more grounded, the world becomes a little better.
