GoogleI stayed at Aadi Yoga School for the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and the 50-hour Aerial Yoga course, and it was three truly wonderful weeks. All the teachers are very knowledgeable, kind, and teach with so much care and dedication. Everyone who works at Aadi Yoga School is incredibly friendly and supportive, which really makes you feel at home. And the food is simply amazing! The school is located a little outside the city center, but it only takes about 5–10 minutes to get there. Because of that, the location is very quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful view of the mountains. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to learn and grow!
My time at Aadi Yoga School is something I’ll always carry with me. The teachers weren’t just instructors, they felt like guides and friends, always ready to share their wisdom, correct us with patience, and cheer us on when things felt tough. Their way of teaching made every class meaningful and left me feeling more connected to yoga than ever before. And the food ..oh, it was such a comfort! Simple, fresh, and made with love, it felt like home-cooked meals that nourished not just the body but also the heart. Each meal gave the perfect balance of energy and lightness we needed to practice throughout the day. What I loved most was the atmosphere warm, welcoming, and filled with a sense of family. Aadi Yoga School isn’t just about learning yoga, it’s about living it.
I have been at Aadi Yoga school for the 200 hours YTT and 50 hours Aerial Yoga. The school is very well located in Rishikesh - close to the center but still far enough outside such that is rather quiet. The food is absolutely fantastic – nourishing, delicious, and prepared with great care. The teachers have great knowledge, are very experienced, and so supportive - and very inspiring. The classes are well structured, clear, and always engaging, which makes learning such a nice experience here and inspiring. On sundays excursions have been organized which was very nice. Aadi Yoga school offers, in my opinion, a high-quality yoga education that combines traditional knowledge with a professional teaching approach. And everyone was super nice and they take very good care of their students. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a solid and meaningful yoga training experience.
