GoogleThe lectures and courses taught by Krishna has taught me a lot about traditional yoga and lifestyle. I’ve gained an understanding of what authentic yoga and meditation is really about rather than what todays modern yoga is portraying. Krishna stresses the importance of how yoga and mindfulness should be incorporated in everyday life which has helped me gain more clarity in my life situations. Bhawani made me as well as the other guests feel like we were at home and she treated all of guests like family. Bhawani and Krishna recommended many local places and also helped book tours and purchase tickets for us. The food is vegetarian, cooked freshly for every meal, and always tasted amazing. The location is also very convenient as there are many shopping areas for food, clothes, souvenirs, etc between 2 - 20 minutes walk depending on where you want to shop. It is also close to a park and many temples if you want to go for a nice walk. I highly recommend this retreat in Siem Riep as it is a very personal and relaxing experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attending the Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher Training Program with Krishna Raja Sir has been a truly transformative experience. In today’s world filled with superficial practices, it's very rare to find such true, authentic knowledge. This isn’t just yoga—it’s holistic, real yoga in its purest form. Krishna Raja Sir beautifully integrates ancient wisdom with practical guidance, helping us connect deeply with ourselves on all levels—mind, body, and spirit. Every session feels like floating—light, peaceful, and deeply enriching. I especially love the real-life analogies he uses while teaching; they make the teachings so relatable and easy to understand. His presence is calming, his teaching clear, and his dedication truly inspiring. I feel blessed and grateful to be learning under such a genuine and mindful teacher. – Sumangala N Bangalore, India
I attended the retreat in March 2025, and I had such a rewarding time. Mr Krishna was so interesting, knowledgeable, and patient, and he helped me reconnect with the roots of yoga. I've been teaching for 8 years in the UK, and having this 1:1 time with such a learned and authentic teacher reinforced and illuminated some of the things I'd touched upon during my 200hr and 300hr studies in India. Since returning to England, I've incorporated a lot of what I learned into my practice, and I'm very grateful for the whole experience. I've got to add that the tailored menu was delicious, and the accommodation just beautiful. I'd like to return one day. The study schedule meant that I had plenty of lesson-time, but I could also wander into Siem Reap and get to know the wonderful city during long breaks between classes. An amazing adventure.. highly recommend. Thank you Mr Krishna 🙏🏻
I initially came to the yoga center to do a three day retreat after travelling Cambodia.. after two days I decided to stay and participate in the 200 hour yoga teacher training! My stay with Krishna and Bhawani was truly delightful. I did not expect to find something like their Center in Sieam Reap. Krishna teaches authentic yoga, that is hard to find these days! I am so grateful for everything I was able to learn and that I can now start sharing this wisdom with others as well. The tools and techniques of yoga that are taught in this program are going to help you live a happy and healthy life. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn about traditional yoga with Krishna!
