My experience during the 200-hour YTT at Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala was the most special and transformative journey I have ever lived. From the moment I felt called to go deeper into the path of yoga, I knew I wanted to come to India to learn from the source and immerse myself in the roots of the tradition. That calling led me to Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala—and I can truly say it was one of the most sacred decisions I’ve ever made. The teachers are not only incredibly wise and dedicated, but they embody the essence of yoga in the way they live, teach, and hold space. Their presence was inspiring, and their guidance created a deeply enriching and authentic learning experience. The course itself was beautifully structured—clear, comprehensive, and filled with practical, philosophical, and personal tools that prepared me to begin sharing yoga with others from a place of understanding and presence. This training helped me reconnect with my true essence, come home to my body and breath, expand my awareness, and ignite a deep motivation to make yoga my way of life. I carry this experience in my heart with deep gratitude, and I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone feeling the call to explore the spiritual depth of yoga in its birthplace.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First of all, I want to say that this has been an incredibly joyful time, filled with genuine emotions. I was so lucky with the people who surrounded me during this past month. I honestly don’t know how things would have been without them. teachers! That’s another area where I feel incredibly lucky. Each one of them is so passionate about what they do that every lesson felt like a gift. Anatomy was unexpectedly fascinating (even though it was hard at first, especially with all the English terms I didn’t know — muscles, ligaments, etc.). But the teacher explained everything in such a simple and clear way that it made you want to learn more and more. We never wanted to let him leave the classroom! The mantra teacher — he’s like an angel. He looks like a little angel: curly-haired, sweet, his eyes shine with purity, and he sings like a god. I couldn’t help but cry every time I heard him sing. Meditation and pranayama — words can’t even begin to describe it. It’s so hard to explain the state he guided us into. You really have to experience it for yourself! But as I’ve shared before, I now truly know that we are not just our bodies. I was able to feel my energy, in the literal sense of the word. I felt my soul. Just thinking about it now makes my heart beat so fast. Overall, the course was deep, intense, and packed with hours of practice. I’m absolutely thrilled with the knowledge I’ve gained, and it’s inspired me to keep going. I’ll continue practicing and, in time, I’ll deepen my studies with further training. And now, briefly, here’s what I’m coming back with: • new knowledge • a deep connection to my body • great physical shape • a huge amount of energy • new, wonderful people in my life • inspiration and a sweet, renewed zest for life • a heart full of love and a desire to share it Something inside me has shifted — and I absolutely love it 🙏🏻Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recently completed my 24 days 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yogshala, and it has been a truly transformative experience. As someone coming from Vietnam,I was warmly welcomed and felt at home right away. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also passionate, and they guided us with such clarity and dedication that made every class meaningful and engaging. The course content was well-structured and insightful, offering a great balance between asana practice, anatomy, philosophy, and pranayama. The peaceful environment of Yogshala created the perfect space for self-discovery and growth. One of my personal goals before joining was to gain a deeper understanding of pranayama—and I’m so grateful to say I’ve learned so much more than I expected. This training helped me reconnect with my true self, uncover the strength of my body, and significantly improve my physical health. Learning to control my breath and move with awareness has been life-changing. Thank you, Yogshala, for this beautiful journey. I’ll carry this experience with me always.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

"For what felt like an eternity, I searched for a yoga school that embodied the true essence of this ancient practice. Rishikesh, with its plethora of options, only added to my confusion. That was until a trusted friend's recommendation led me to Rishikesh Yogis. As I stepped into this serene haven, I was met with warmth and hospitality that immediately put me at ease. The teacher's training program was a revelation - the depth of knowledge shared in the classes was astounding. But what truly set Rishikesh Yogis apart was the attention to detail that permeated every aspect of the program. From the delicious, wholesome meals that nourished my body, to the comfortable and clean accommodations that provided a peaceful retreat, every element was carefully considered. The classes were engaging and informative, while the excursions offered a chance to explore the beauty of Rishikesh. What struck me most, however, was the love and care that infused every moment of my journey. The teachers and staff at Rishikesh Yogis are truly dedicated to creating a transformative experience for their students. I'm so grateful to have found this hidden gem. Rishikesh Yogis has been a beacon of light on my yoga journey, and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn and grow with such a wonderful community."Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I felt at home and part of a family and I left with a whole family of new friends. Can't wait to return xxxxPosted onVerified Outstanding, authentic yoga teachers training program I recently completed my 200 hr. TTC at Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala, and recommend it very highly. I have been practicing yoga (asanas) for 8+ years and was looking for a program to take my practice to the next level and help me to teach / share with others at the same time. This program was recommended to me by 2 of my teachers and turned out to be an excellent choice, so wanted to share my experience. The RYY program is outstanding -- well organized and structured, taught by very knowledgeable (world class!) teachers with deep expertise, able to accommodate beginners yet expand the practice of seasoned practitioners, has a class size that allowed each of us to engage with the teachers and learn from each other, good food and accommodations. At the same time, it exceeded my expectations in a number of ways (a) the why of yoga – I came away with a much deeper understanding of yoga philosophy that has enabled me to both internalize and communicate working towards peace and harmony (b) it is based on an embodied yoga practice that will build and sustain my practice over the long term (c) an overall experience that truly refreshed and enriched.The embodied yoga practice that is taught there in addition to traditional practices, is an amazing and distinctive ideology that allows each of us to build and develop our own practice in alignment with our body and mind. It enables us to get the most out of our practice, regardless of different / changing body types, strength and flexibility levels, experience and needs over time. Many thanks to all the teachers and my fellow students for the wonderful experience. I am planning to be back shortly for the 300 hr. TTC to continue on my yoga journey.
