Stillness you can
take home with you

A meditation and yoga centre on the bank of the Ganges in Rishikesh, where practice is taught the way it was handed down — slowly, in small groups, and in person.

Who We Are

Meditation First, Everything Else Around It

World Peace Meditation Centre sits in the Himalayan foothills beside the Ganges at Rishikesh. Meditation is the centre of what we teach — asana, kriya and pranayama are how the body is made quiet enough to sit, not the other way round.

We run 200, 300 and 500-hour yoga teacher training courses alongside shorter meditation and Ayurveda retreats. Morning sitting and evening practice are open to everyone staying with us at no extra cost — they are the centre, not an add-on.

Groups stay small and our teachers live on campus, so instruction is personal rather than delivered to a room. An Ayurvedic doctor and therapy rooms on site support the practice as the tradition intends.

Small class sizes meant I got real personal attention. I arrived nervous as a beginner and left feeling confident enough to teach.
