GoogleThe quality of the classes was very high, the dedication of teachers breathtaking. I really enjoyed the environment in the ashram and the food was delicious too. Thank you for an amazing stay.
The people at Avdhoot ashram are kind, patient and ready to help you with anything you need if you only ask. Even though it has been a few weeks since I finished the program we have still been in touch! We received a lot of one on one attention and feedback during this TTC. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. Asana classes were two times a day - one in Hatha and one in Astanga, I gained so much physical strength during my weeks in this program. We practiced meditation and chanting everyday. From someone who never was able to sit still I am impressed with my progress in this area, the instructor helped us work up to longer sitting times and offered a variety of techniques. Pranayama and philosophy were also practiced daily. We were well fed and taken care of. The ashram environment was simple and peaceful, very close to the river. The rooftop view is amazing at the ashram. Ask to practice on the roof one day, we did and it was beautiful! On days off we had the option of going on some outings and those were enjoyable. Kind people. Top notch instruction. Wonderful experience.
The moment I first entered the premises of Avdhoot Ashram, I felt a very peaceful and 'pure' feeling. This is due to the clean, pure and peaceful atmosphere which reigns there. The rooms are clean and the food is saatvik. River Ganga is just 10 minutes walk from the Ashram and I just loved going there whenever I could. I also enjoyed attending the afternoon prayers in the Ashram after a full and rich day of study. I am planning to go back there as I love this Ashram so much and the people there. Thank you so much Avdhoot Ashram, I was so happy to spend 7 days in such an atmosphere.
I have attended a yoga teacher training at the Avdhoot Ashram in July 2017. I can clearly say it is very authentic - people are nice and kind, teachers are great and inspiring, food is nutritious and generous in quantity and lastly the housing is clean, comfortable and adequate for an Ashram. I would recommend going there for a training or a retread. It is truly a great and authentic Indian experience! Namaste!
I stayed about one month (a little more, I think) here at Avdhoot Ashram and had a very peaceful time. The rooms are tidy and clean, with bathrooms attached. And the food is simple but very good - healthy. I lived well in my time here. We could also join in yoga classes in the morning if we wanted to. I joined a few times and they are very well-run classes. It is also very affordable to stay here. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time I go to Rishikesh. Thanks to Vikas and everyone serving there! :)
