The Great Liberation - Yoga as It Was Meant to Be

In Sanskrit, Mahamukti means the great liberation — the highest state of freedom a human being can realise. Not a phrase chosen for its sound. It is the intention behind every course we teach, every retreat we host, and every student we welcome.
“Yoga is not what you do on the mat. It is what the mat does to you — over time, with patience, and with a teacher who understands why it matters.”
Founded by Yogi Akhilesh Bodhi — trained in the Sivananda Yoga Rishikesh lineage — Mahamukti has guided over 9,000 students across 50+ countries over two decades. Every curriculum carries the depth of a tradition refined across centuries. Whether you arrive to build a personal practice, begin teaching professionally, or simply need a week to breathe and return to yourself — this is where that shift begins.

Why Students Choose Mahamukti

There are many yoga schools in Goa and Bali. Very few combine authentic lineage, genuinely experienced teaching, and a curriculum built around how students actually grow — not what looks impressive in a brochure.

Ancient Lineage, Alive Today

Rooted in the Sivananda Yoga Rishikesh tradition — one of the most respected classical lineages in the world. You learn yoga as it has been transmitted for generations, not a studio shortcut.

Your Guru Teaches Every Class

Yogi Akhilesh teaches every morning asana session, every philosophy class, every adjustment workshop — personally. 20+ years, 9,000+ students, all guided with genuine attention and care.

Globally Recognised Certification

Complete 100Hr or 200Hr and register with Yoga Alliance USA — the gold standard recognised across Europe, North America, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Teach anywhere in the world.

Small Groups, Real Attention

Intentionally small batch sizes mean your teacher actually sees you — your alignment, your breath, your readiness. The kind of personal attention impossible in a group of 25 or 30.

Locations Chosen for Depth

Mandrem's quiet beach in North Goa. Ubud's rice terraces and ancient temples in Bali. Chosen because they make the practice quieter, deeper, and more real — not because they photograph well.

Everything Included, Zero Worry

Accommodation, daily vegetarian meals, study materials, cultural excursions — all included. You focus entirely on the practice. We handle everything else. Genuine transformation requires complete focus.

Six Traditions. One Complete Map.

At most schools, you learn one style. At Mahamukti you learn the full landscape — so you can meet any student, wherever they are in their journey.

Real People. Real Transformations.

“Consistently praised for personal attention, authentic teaching, and life-changing experiences.”

Two Sacred Locations. Chosen With Intention.

The location of a yoga training shapes the practice. We chose Goa and Bali because they make the work quieter, deeper, and more real.

Goa, India

One of the last truly quiet beaches on the Goa coastline. Morning yoga with waves in the background. Evening meditation in genuine silence. A place that makes slowing down feel natural and transformative.

Bali, Indonesia

The spiritual heartland of Bali. Rice terraces, river gorges, and temples active for over a thousand years. The island’s energy draws serious practitioners from across the world — and now it draws you.

Yogi Akhilesh Bodhi

Founder · Lead Teacher · Sivananda Yoga Rishikesh Lineage

The Heart of
Mahamukti Yoga

Yogi Akhilesh Bodhi did not come to yoga through a studio membership. He came to it as a calling — and has treated it as one ever since.
Trained in the Sivananda Yoga lineage at Rishikesh, he began teaching in his early twenties and has not stopped since. Over two decades, he has taught in more than 50 countries across India, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Americas, and beyond. He has personally guided over 9,000 students. Every one of them.
What sets him apart is not the years or the countries. It is the fact that he is still genuinely curious about what yoga does to people — and still moved when a student has a breakthrough.
Our faculty includes dedicated specialists in yoga anatomy, philosophy, and asana. But at the centre of every Mahamukti training, you will find Yogi Akhilesh. That is not going to change.

Questions

Everything international students ask before joining Mahamukti — answered honestly.

We respond within 24 hours. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us — we speak English and Hindi, and can connect you with alumni from your country.
Yes. All our 100-hour and 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training courses are registered with Yoga Alliance USA — the globally recognised certification standard. On completing your course, you are eligible to register as a 100Hr or 200Hr RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher), allowing you to teach yoga professionally anywhere in the world — studios, gyms, retreats, online, and private sessions.
No prior teaching experience is required. Our programmes welcome both complete beginners and intermediate practitioners. You need genuine interest and a willingness to commit fully. Yogi Akhilesh and the faculty tailor instruction to each group — nobody is left behind, and nobody is held back. Many of our most successful graduates came with no teaching background at all.
The fee covers accommodation for the full duration of training, three vegetarian meals per day, snacks, tea and refreshments, all study materials, certificate of completion, and cultural excursions. The only things not included are your international flights and personal expenses. Everything else — from the mat to the meals — is handled for you.
The curriculum and Yoga Alliance certification are equivalent across both locations. The difference is the environment. Goa offers a beachside training in the warmth of North India’s coastal culture — Mandrem’s quiet beach, yoga by the sea. Bali offers the lush, spiritually-charged landscape of Ubud, surrounded by rice fields and ancient temples. Both are genuinely extraordinary — most students choose based on which location resonates with them most deeply.
Yes. After completing the 200-hour course and registering with Yoga Alliance USA, you are qualified to teach yoga professionally worldwide — in studios, gyms, retreats, corporate wellness, and private sessions. The 200Hr RYT is the international entry standard for professional yoga teaching. Many Mahamukti graduates are now teaching full-time across Europe, North America, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
