Set at the foot of the Himalayas on the banks of the sacred Ganges, Rishikesh has been a place of spiritual learning and wisdom for thousands of years. Sages and seekers have used it as a home for meditation, yoga, chanting, and inner discipline since ancient times, and this long history can be felt throughout the daily life of the whole town, not only by curious travelers. Studying sound healing here means learning in the same tradition that shaped these practices long before the rest of the world discovered them.

Known as the Yoga Capital of the World, Rishikesh attracts students, teachers, and healers from across the globe year-round. This reputation was not marketed, it was built over decades, by generation after generation of dedicated teachers choosing to live, teach, and practice here. As a student, you train inside a real wellness community, supported by seasoned instructors and invested peers, in a setting where learning comes easily from your first day in town.

The spiritual atmosphere of Rishikesh makes it easier to focus and stay still, in a way that is simply not possible in a busy, noisy city. Mornings begin with the sound of temple bells and the river, setting a feeling of calm before training even starts. This makes it easier to absorb new techniques and stay present through extended daily practice. Many students say that nothing compares to learning in this environment, hour after hour.

Each class brings together students from dozens of countries, so you are training inside an international community centered on a shared passion for healing. You are surrounded by people from different backgrounds and cultures who add depth to the practice through their own experiences and questions. Many of these connections outlast the course itself, unfolding into a worldwide peer network, wherever you end up practicing, urban or rural, clinic or studio, you are never building your career alone.

Studying in Rishikesh means learning at the source, with yogis who live this practice daily, not simply as it is written in books. This authenticity is part of why training here is so different from a six-hour course learned through a brief video. Years of hands-on experience, direct mentorship, and personal practice sit behind every lesson, giving your future clients real, sustainable confidence in your skill.

Guru ji Yogshri Prakashananda was born in 1984 in Rishikesh, amidst the Himalayas, into a modest family practicing Nada Yoga (AKA Surat Shabad Yoga). He was not a standout student, but there was always something in him listening for a deeper sound. He was formally initiated by his Guru into Nada Yoga on 28 Feb 2011, and within the year he started learning Kids Brain Activation using Sound Healing and brought this art to the UAE; later, he learned instruments like Singing Bowls, Gongs and Tuning Forks. He dedicated himself to learning Yoga and Vedanta at Swami Sivananda Ashram from 2015 to 2017. That circle grew into the YogShri Healing Institute, and in 2017, he founded the forest ashram outside Rishikesh where all of this teaching now takes place. He is the author of the book Stop Meditation Start Living and has established Yogshri Sound Healing Training & Research Institute in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India.

With Yogshri, students from 42 countries have trained in singing bowls and gongs, chakra balancing, and the older, quieter practice of Nada healing. He has sat with people carrying grief, anxiety, chronic pain, and burnout, and watched sound do what words could not. His knowledge is not book-learned; it comes from thousands of hours in the room, working with real students in a forest, with no shortcuts.

Guru ji Yogshri’s mission is simple, to help 1 million people find some peace, and train enough healers that this peace can reach further than he could alone. Early in his career, he noticed something: people who came to him for healing kept coming back for more, rather than learning to hold that peace themselves. That realization was a turning point, he now focuses on training independent healers rather than creating repeat visitors.

Guru ji Yogshri does not believe in enforcing a rigid checklist of instruments on students. He teaches slowly and corrects gently, helping students grasp the “how” and understand why a technique works, rather than just learning it by rote. He keeps classes small so he can see every player’s hands and hear every stroke on the bowl, and give feedback that is genuinely useful. For Jetan, sound healing is not an act, he takes the responsibility seriously and passes that seriousness on to his students.

Unlike a certificate you stow away in a drawer, a diploma gained from YogShri Healing is a collection of actual working routes that guide you toward a sustainable practice, and the majority of graduates wind up using two or more of these routes.
