About Laya Yoga School
At Laya Yoga School, nestled in the serene foothills of Rishikesh, we offer a sanctuary for those seeking deep inner transformation through ancient yogic wisdom.
Founded and led by Dr. Rohit Chobe (PhD) — a practitioner, teacher, and researcher of yogic science — the school is rooted in the authentic tradition of Laya Yoga, where sound, breath, movement, and meditative awareness gently dissolve the barriers that separate you from your true self.
Here, learning is not just intellectual — it’s experiential. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned seeker, our certified courses, immersive retreats, and guided practices are crafted to reconnect you with your inner stillness and help you release stress, awaken energy, and return to balance.
What is Laya Yoga
A Journey of Merging, Dissolving, and Transcending.
Laya Yoga is one of the most subtle and powerful path within the yogic tradition — yet still unknown to many. It is not merely a physical practice. It is a sacred process of inner alchemy: of merging the scattered energies of your mind and body, dissolving what no longer serves you, and ultimately transcending the limitations of ordinary awareness.
The word “Laya” comes from the Sanskrit root “li”, meaning to dissolve or to merge into. In Laya Yoga, the goal is to dissolve the ego-bound identity into the deeper Self — the still, untouched presence that exists beyond thought, trauma, or tension.
How Does Laya Yoga Works
Laya Yoga draws from ancient Tantric and Yogic systems, combining sound, breath, movement, mantra, mudra, and deep meditation to guide the practitioner into inner stillness. At Laya Yoga School, this process is experienced through three interconnected stages:
Merge with Sound Nada (inner sound) is the subtle vibration underlying all of life. Through practices like toning, mantra, and sound healing, you begin to resonate with these healing vibrations — tuning your body and mind like an instrument. This “merging” gently dissolves restlessness and draws your awareness inward.
Dissolve Through Breath Your breath is not just oxygen — it's prana, the vital energy of life. Laya Yoga uses pranayama (breathwork) and conscious energy flow techniques to release deep-seated blockages, emotional imprints, and nervous tension. Each exhale becomes a soft letting-go, a dissolving of old patterns.
Transcend with Movement and Meditation Finally, through asana, sacred mudras, and guided meditation, you begin to transcend identification with the body and mind. This doesn’t mean escape — it means expansion. You shift from thinking to awareness, from doing to simply being. You come home to yourself.
Laya Yoga Is for You If...
- You’re seeking more than a physical yoga practice
- You’re drawn to the healing power of sound and silence
- You want to release emotional or energetic blocks
- You feel ready for inner transformation, not just outer flexibility
- You long to reconnect with the stillness you’ve always sensed inside
