Rahul Nautiyal Ji is the founder of Sukha Yogashala and a devoted teacher specializing in yoga adjustment and alignment. He holds an M.A. in Yoga Science and is certified by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. Based in Rishikesh, he works with small groups of 10–12 students on the banks of the sacred Ganga, offering a residential immersion focused on safe, hands-on adjustment methods, postural geometry, injury prevention, and the biomechanics of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga.
Rahul is appreciated for his joyful presence and easygoing manner, helping students feel both supported and safely challenged. Before offering any correction, he teaches students to observe a body’s skeletal structure, moving beyond general alignment cues toward guidance tailored to each individual. His classes include micro-adjustments for standing poses and forward folds, protection for the joints during entries and exits, and a clear ethical approach grounded in consent-based adjustment. Whether leading the 4-Day Intermediate Program or the 7-Day Master Program, Rahul brings patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge to help students refine their personal practice mechanics and build greater confidence in hands-on adjustment across different body types and structural histories, including hypermobility, old injuries, and scoliosis.
For more than 10 years, students traveling to Rishikesh have named Rahul among their favorite teachers. They praise his ability to make demanding poses safer for students aged 60 and above while keeping the atmosphere uplifting and joyful. Reviewers often mention that he ensures every practice is done safely without losing the element of challenge, and that his positive energy inspires them to give their best. Many describe the experience as life-changing, noting that Rahul supports them throughout the journey with patience and professionalism.
