GoogleI had a wonderful learning experience here and truly enjoyed the course. The structure was very well designed and thoughtfully organized. I especially appreciated the blend of Yin, Hatha, and Kundalini yoga, which made the training both balanced and enriching. The yoga philosophy classes were a highlight for me — they sparked meaningful conversations and deep introspection. The faculty was knowledgeable and supportive, creating a positive and nurturing environment. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, the food was fresh and wholesome, and the staff were consistently helpful and caring throughout the program. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and holistic yoga training experience.
I am completing my 200 hours & 300 hours Yoga Teacher Training at Hari Om Yoga Vidya School, and the experience has been truly exceptional. The food is delicious, the environment is nurturing, and the care provided by Pramod Sir and Sona Ma’am feels just like home. I never feel like a regular student here I truly feel like family. Every class is unique, detailed, and beautifully designed. With small batch sizes, the teachers give personal attention, clarify every doubt, and guide with patience and professionalism. The accommodation is highly maintained, clean, and comfortable, and the entire staff is extremely supportive and kind. Hari Om Yoga Vidya School is genuinely one of the best yoga schools in Rishikesh. I truly recommend it to everyone you won’t find a school like this anywhere else in Rishikesh offering 9 hours of quality classes, sattvic meals, and highly qualified experienced teachers.
Comprehensive curriculum & good balance (theory + practical + spiritual) Several reviewers mention that the 200-hour program gave them a “solid foundation of yoga theory,” proper technique, asana alignment, pranayama, meditation plus philosophy covering both physical and spiritual/mental aspects of yoga. Supportive, friendly and experienced teachers & staff Multiple reviews highlight that teachers are “knowledgeable, professional, and passionate,” and staff are warm and welcoming. Several report personalized attention, which helps especially if you’re a beginner. Good accommodation, clean rooms & decent meals Reviewers often speak positively about the living conditions: clean, cozy rooms (sometimes with private balcony), healthy sattvic vegetarian meals, and a supportive “family-like” ambience. Holistic, immersive “yoga-lifestyle” experience not just exercise Many students say the training felt like more than just learning yoga poses: a month of immersion into yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama, spiritual practices and self-growth. A few mention that this changed not just their asana practice but their daily life, perspective, and even inner calm. Good location & cultural/spiritual context (Rishikesh / Tapovan) Because the school is in Rishikesh (in Tapovan, near Ganga / spiritual-center zones), many find it a “right environment” for yoga peaceful, spiritual, supportive of introspection and growth.
Hariom Yoga Vidya School is a wonderful place for learning and overall development. The school provides a positive and disciplined environment where students feel safe, respected, and motivated to do their best. Along with academics, the school also focuses on values, yoga, and character building, which helps students grow into responsible individuals. I am very happy with the school and would definitely recommend it to others. The teachers at Hariom Yoga Vidya School are very caring, supportive, and hardworking. They explain concepts clearly and always encourage students to ask questions. Teachers pay personal attention to students and motivate them to improve both academically and personally. Their dedication and patience make learning enjoyable and meaningful.
Amazing experience ! All the staff and the teacher were really welcoming and kind. Always helpful in different way, they help me find a good doctor when needed, to arrange a transport, or to repair the heater in the room so... Deep gratefulness for their presence. All this care made the dedication for the practice easier, and all my energy could stay focus on yoga. Asana teacher were really great, alignement, hatha and ashtanga had all their different style which made the experience complete and meaningful. The only things that could be improved is the content in some more "theorical" field, which sometime was not structured enough in my point of view. Sometime they overlaped one an other ( for exemple we saw the doshas 2 times in 2 different classes ). Some classes paper could have help, like the chronogical history of yoga we saw in philosophy classes, could have come with a paper who summarize everything. And in the same time, teachers of those classes were really interesting and generous. So above all, I left this experience fulfilled, gratefull and almost sur that i'll be back in tapovan someday. If you want a deep, true, intense experience who push you out of your confort zone... go for it ! Hatha at 6h30 in the morning with deep hard stretching is something you wont forget in your life. Thank you Hari om vidya school, from all of my heart.
