In ancient times, when people lived the yogic way, good health was the natural result of their lifestyle. But, as health deteriorated with man's changing values, yoga gained ground in its use as therapy.Rishikesh being the yoga capital of the country there are number of yoga centres teaching yoga. All most all the tourist coming here benefit by these yoga training centres.
