Yvonne Sipma2024-09-29I had a wonderful time in Rishikesh due to the most beautiful teacher training in embodied yoga I took here. The teachers are great, they are experienced and knowledgeable and they are so enthusiastic in sharing yoga. The place is very beautiful too.
Shaila Menezes2024-09-27I wanted to say a huge gratitude to the entire staff at Rishikesh yogis yogashala for helping & guiding us through the process of learning & understanding yoga. The gurus here opened our spines & hips , And our hearts & mind by teaching us the yoga sutras & philosophy of yoga. What yoga really means . Every teacher here: Sauravji, Namanji, Riteshji, Uttamji, & Parveenji are incredibly generous of spirit and live yoga everyday with their actions & attitude . They opened our eyes to valuing effort & commitment , not just on the end product. The teachers’ dedication to each one of us , their love & patience to our problems , blocks was remarkable . Their abilities to explain the material has allowed me to find so much depth & understanding of the yoga sutras & kabir dohas. Personal attention was given any time needed. All I had to do was ask . The same with everyone . I absolutely loved the positive attitude , stories & humor our gurus brought into the class while teaching us the philosophy of Patañjali . Gurujis, you have helped us grow a lot.
Buenfil Judith2024-09-26Me siento muy agradecida con nuestros maestros por todo lo aprendido, cada uno de ellos fue no solo profesional, sino muy amoroso, me sentí muy sostenida durante el curso. Además la perspectiva de embodied yoga es muy interesante y creo que renovó mi práctica. El personal de la casa siempre estuvo pendiente de todos los estudiantes, nos apoyaron en cada momento que lo necesitamos. La comida en la casa fue deliciosa y nutritiva, lo cual me permitió conocer un poco más de India a través de la alimentación. Definitivamente recomiendo este programa donde tuve la fortuna de hacer grandes amigos también.

Salil Jain2024-03-25I 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.
Cécile Guyomard2024-03-21I did a 300h teacher training here and I am beyond grateful for the experience! The teachers are not only very knowledgeable, but also very authentic and committed to the yoga path. Their teachings are always profound with a very caring and warm attitude towards the students. I felt very much taken care of and also found the classes respected the individual abilities of the body very much, which helped me feel good and stable in my body all the time. Also the meditation and pranayama classes were so helpful to get into a deeper understanding and elevating step by step the practice. I also loved how the embodied Yoga brought a fluid and health centered approach while still being absolutely rooted in the yoga tradition. In short: I absolutely recommend this school to everyone who is looking for a profound training in a respectful and caring atmosphere.
Berat Meryem Örnek2024-03-20I recently participated in the 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training at Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala - Yoga Sadhana International in February 2024 and I am so grateful I made this decision! All the teachers, Uttam, Parveen, Ritesh, Sourav and Naman were extremely knowledgable, down-to-earth, and super kind+helpful throughout the classes. All classes were construed so that they were very engaging, rigorous and accessible to students coming from different backgrounds and yoga experiences. What really made a difference for me is that the teachings of asanas was taught in the embodied way, meaning the teachers taught us all how to learn from our body and our unique anatomy, instead of imposing on the body and being harsh to our limbs and/or limitations. The second thing I really appreciated is that all teachers, students, and staff treated each other with dignity, professionalism and respect -- which can be hard to find in the pseudo-spiritual environments! Parveen's improv classes and how he beautifully connected all exercises to the way we teach and learn yoga was truly one of highlights of my time there. Thank you Parveen ji! Last but not least, I also want to thank Kiran, who is the behind-the-scenes organizer+rock star of the school, and also all the staff who cooked, cleaned and made an effort to make Rishikesh a home away from home. Thank you everybody at Rishikesh Yogis Yogshala - Yoga Sadhana International for this wonderful training -- I'm already making plans to go back:)

Buenfil J2024-09-26India always in my heart I feel very grateful to our teachers for all they learned, each of them was not only Pro, but very loving, I felt very sustained during the course. Also the perspective of embodied yoga is very interesting and I think it renewed my practice. The staff of the house always kept an eye on all the students, they supported us every time we needed it. The food in the house was delicious and nutritious, which allowed me to get to know a little more of India through eating. I definitely recommend this show where I was fortunate enough to make great friends too.Verified
