GoogleIn my 45 years of yoga experience I have taken students on many yoga retreats with gurus in Rishikesh, including most recently with Rakesh Ji. Between 4-11 Dec. 2023, there will be 12 people at Sahaja Retreat Camp. I think all gurus are very intent on teaching in their style. Including Rakesh ji as well. Which has the intention to teach, always take care of the safety of their students while teaching. But what Rakesh Ji has is different that I have experienced and experienced many more of those differences. In addition to the correct teaching classes, it is impressive. There is also a warm welcome. Beautiful kindness, sincerity, eagerness to care and help. Provides great convenience to all of us. Solving various problems that arise quickly He is a humble teacher. Honor the elders Including the teachers on the staff and all your helpers. These differences impressed me and all the students very much. I and all the students would like to express our deepest gratitude to Rakesh Ji. And all the lovely teachers in the team including the beauty of the place Sahaja Retreat Camp. We will probably never forget this warmth and impression. And definitely have the intention of going back again next time. You are amazing Rakesh Ji.❤️🌹🕉️🙏🕉️🌹❤️
It was a memorable experience for our group. We stayed at 2 places and both of them were good. Master Rakesh was sincere and dedicated to make sure the students learned the correct way with no injuries. We also had the opportunity to learn from other teachers who are experts in their areas to share their experiences with us. We had a chance to watch the traditional Ganga Aarti ceremony which was great. All in all, it was an enjoyable 8 days. And we will definitely go back again.
On my second trip to India, my friends and I had the opportunity to take a yoga class with Professor Rakesh and the class was very good, the teacher was very attentive to the students, respecting the limits of each one.
Did a yoga retreat with AYP and it turned out to be a phenomenal experience. Rakesh Bhai our yoga guru is exceptional teacher. It was a wholesome experience and looking forward for the next retreat with AYP
Rakesh is extremely attentive in every way. He took us on a tour of India, providing us with advice and allowing us to admire all the beauty of the area. But that's not all - he's also a yoga master: he'll guide you through the practice and pranayama. Full of energy and passion for what he does. Highly recommended +++!
