Experienced yoga teachers at Siddhant School of Yoga

Yoga teachers are the spine of a yoga school. They have the right eligibility and skills to motivate you to start and continue your yoga practice, so that you can grow. Yoga teachers are also very important for a healthy society — they help you develop good qualities so you can live a balanced life and contribute to building a healthy community.

In our society, we need good doctors, engineers, lawyers and many other professionals — but if you look deeply, yoga teachers are just as important for a better, more balanced society. Yoga is not an option; for a balanced lifestyle, it is compulsory. And if yoga is compulsory, yoga teachers are essential.

Our faculty combines decades of traditional monastic training in the Himalayas with deep scientific knowledge in biomechanics, alignment and subtle energetic anatomy.

Siddhant Ji

Spiritual Master & Founder

Siddhant left home after completing his B.Sc. in search of true knowledge, spending years training with Sadhus and Yogis across the Himalayas and all of India. Under their guidance, he mastered many forms of yoga — Hatha, Kundalini, Mantra, Kriya and more — along with Pranayama, Bandhas, Mudras, yoga philosophy and deep meditation practice.

He later founded Siddhant School of Yoga in Rishikesh, where he now guides students personally in yoga philosophy, meditation and pranayama. His teaching builds real understanding and gratitude, helping seekers from every part of the world transform their practice and discover their true selves. His personal guidance has helped countless students build lasting discipline and quiet confidence in their own daily practice.

Hemlata

Yoga Anatomy & Physiology

Hemlata works as a qualified physiotherapist at a reputed hospital in Rishikesh, and has worked hard to become a specialist Yoga Anatomy teacher — a subject that is genuinely challenging to teach well. With a strong command of human anatomy and physiology, she brings real medical understanding into every class.

She teaches in a clear, digital and practical way, so students can get their yoga anatomy questions properly answered. She is kind and disciplined, and because she works in both medicine and yoga, she helps students understand health from a truly yogic perspective. Her calm, patient approach makes even complicated anatomy topics feel clear and genuinely useful for daily practice.

For the last three years, Varun has lived a genuinely yogic lifestyle, practicing Pranayama, meditation, Hatha Yoga and his personal favorite, Ashtanga Yoga, every single day. His goal is simple: to keep gaining knowledge of yoga and share it with everyone he teaches, with the same sincerity and quiet discipline he brings to his own daily practice.
