Most schools in Rishikesh have two or three teachers who are genuinely good. The rest fill out the schedule. Prakruti has eight to ten master teachers several of whom are guest faculty at the largest schools in the city. Prakruti has high standards for selecting teachers who teach at school, factors like, are they practitioners of this knowledge , lineage, experience.
You are not learning from one person's interpretation of yoga. You are learning from a team of dedicated practitioners drawn from across the great lineages.
Prakruti is deliberately not single guru. It is an amalgamation of Hatha Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Kaula Tantra and Indian classical arts. The belief behind this is older than the school itself : diversity brings excellence through dialogue, through different experiences, through the acceptance that truth has many proven forms not one.
The school's founder Darshan, is the connective tissue. From a Jain family, trained as an engineer and physicist, formerly a product engineer and plant manager at a multinational before teaching physics 5 years, he turned to yoga after years of work on the reform of Indian education. He studied under three Iyengar masters and one Hatha master in asana, under a Kaula Marg Tantra guru in Kerala, in the Gwalior gharana in Indian classical music and under mentors in Ayurveda, Jyotisha, and Kalaripayattu. His own work including original research on the semantics of Sanskrit and English bridges a gap most TTCs do not even know exists.
