Yoga & Astrology Workshop: Where the Stars Meet the Mat
A yoga and astrology workshop brings together two ancient systems that, despite seeming unrelated at first glance, share a common root: understanding the deeper patterns that shape who we are. At Sriezaayogshala, this 2-day workshop explores how Vedic astrology and yoga practice can be combined to offer a more personalized, self-aware approach to wellbeing.
Set in Rishikesh, this workshop is designed for curious beginners and longtime yoga practitioners alike with no prior astrology knowledge required.

Why Combine Yoga and Astrology?
Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, has long been considered a sister science to yoga within Indian tradition — both emerged from the same philosophical roots and were historically studied together rather than as separate disciplines. Where yoga works with the body and breath to bring balance, Vedic astrology offers a map of tendencies, strengths, and challenges based on planetary placements at the time of birth.
This workshop isn't about predicting the future. It's about using astrology as a lens for self-understanding, then pairing that insight with specific yoga and breathing practices suited to what your chart reveals. Someone with a chart showing excess fiery, intense energy, for example, might benefit from cooling, grounding practices while someone with a heavier, more sluggish placement might benefit from more energizing sequences. The combination gives participants a more personalized starting point than a generic yoga class typically offers.
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय।
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते॥
By being established in Yoga, O Dhananjaya, undertake actions, casting off attachment and remaining equipoised in success and failure. Equanimity is called Yoga.
“Bhagwat Gita Chapter 2, Verse 48”

A Typical Day
Day 1 opens with an introduction to Vedic astrology fundamentals, followed by a gentle yoga session designed to ground the group before deeper material is introduced. The afternoon covers doshas, elements, and chakra-planet correspondences, closing with a guided meditation tied to the day's themes.
Day 2 shifts toward personalization. Participants explore practices suited to common planetary patterns, take part in the group chart discussion, and close the workshop with a longer integrative practice combining everything covered — asana, breath, and reflection — designed to leave participants with a few practices they can continue using long after the workshop ends.
What Makes This Workshop Different
Most yoga workshops focus purely on physical technique, and most astrology sessions stay purely theoretical or predictive. This workshop deliberately sits between the two, using astrology as a framework for understanding tendencies and yoga as the practical tool for working with them. Participants consistently describe this combination as giving them a more personal, less generic relationship with their practice than a standard class typically offers.
For those interested in deepening either thread further afterward, our Ayurveda course content explores related daily-rhythm practices, and the 200 Hour YTTC page outlines a path for those who want to study yoga philosophy more formally. General background on Jyotish as a traditional Vedic science can also be found through resources like the American Council of Vedic Astrology.
