GoogleI completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Adi Yoga Ashram, and it was the best choice! All the teachers were wonderful — very attentive and highly knowledgeable. The food was amazing: delicious, fresh, and healthy. The location is great, very complete and close to many cafés, restaurants, and the Ganges River. We also had excursions every Sunday, and all the basic services were provided. I’m very happy with the experience. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!
I took a 500 hr TTC here at Adi Ashram, and was really impressed with the quality of the teaching, the wonderful meals, and the extra care the directors provide. Always approachable, happy to arrange anything for you outside of the ashram's activities, and they even took the whole group on free trips in the local area, waterfalls and temples. Each time I contacted Adi from the UK, Monika always responded so quickly, and was extremely professional, also they arrange airport transfers. I really appreciated the time gone into the timetable, the interesting classes and wide range of subjects covered. This is a great school and you won't regret booking in here!!
I completed my 200-hour multi-style yoga teacher training at ADI Yoga and am very grateful for the experience. The curriculum was challenging but well balanced, pushing growth without crossing into burnout. I was very happy to dive deeper into pranayama, meditation, and yoga philosophy. Coming from the US, I was used to focusing mostly on asana, so this gave me the deeper understanding of yoga I was looking for. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions. What I really liked about the school was that they welcomed students of all levels while still creating a meaningful experience for everyone. I am not an advanced practitioner and have limited flexibility and strength, but I still learned more from the asana practice here than in any class I’ve taken before. If a pose didn’t suit your body or caused discomfort, the teachers offered thoughtful modifications to make it feel safe and accessible, and then shared practices to help you work toward the pose over time. I was surprised by how much strength I gained in such a short amount of time! The food was healthy and tasty, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. What made the experience even more special was the community. Students came from all over the world, but everyone was there with the same intention to learn and grow, which made the school feel like home. My personal practice—and even my perspective on life—has genuinely changed for the better since completing the training, and I truly cherish my time there. I will definitely be returning when I’m ready for the next training!
⸻ This yoga retreat in India was a deeply enriching experience for me. The teachers were excellent and highly experienced, offering authentic traditional yoga teachings alongside a well-balanced daily practice and a very supportive atmosphere. The retreat also included beautiful excursions, which were a wonderful addition and allowed us to explore the local culture and nature. The surroundings were peaceful and inspiring, the food was delicious, and the entire stay felt harmonious and healing. I left feeling a sense of inner calm and renewed energy. I highly recommend this retreat.
