Karoli Yoga School

I had the pleasure of connecting with the teachings and presence of Mahesh, and I can honestly say that his work reflects the true spirit of yoga. 🧘‍♂️🙏 Mahesh embodies yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a path of awareness, discipline, and inner transformation. Through his teachings, one can clearly feel his authenticity, dedication, and deep respect for the yogic tradition. His guidance is grounded, clear, and infused with a calm yet powerful energy that makes students feel supported and inspired. What stands out most is his ability to transmit yoga as a way of life, integrating asana, philosophy, breath, and consciousness in a harmonious and accessible way. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner or teacher, Mahesh has the rare gift of meeting each student exactly where they are, with humility, patience, and genuine care. I truly recommend Mahesh to anyone who wishes to deepen their practice, reconnect with the essence of yoga, and learn from a teacher who lives what he teaches. 🌿🕉️ Namaste 🙏

I attended a few yoga sessions at Karoli Yoga School in Rishikesh, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The classes introduced me to Yin yoga, and I’m grateful for discovering Yin yoga here - it was deeply meditative, calming, and grounding. Mahesh, our yoga instructor was extremely patient, kind, and supportive, taking the time to guide and assist without rushing or pressure. Each session felt mindful and thoughtfully structured, allowing me to connect with my body and breath at my own pace. Practicing in Rishikesh itself added to the serenity, but it was the instructor’s presence and approach that made the experience truly meaningful. I would highly recommend Karoli Yoga School to anyone looking for an authentic, soulful, and nurturing yoga experience.

If you want to learn real, authentic yoga, this school is truly the best. Mahesh G and all the teachers here have extensive knowledge of traditional yogic principles, the kind of depth and authenticity that is incredibly hard to find these days. I completed my 200 hour teacher training course with Mahesh G, and it was an absolute pleasure. I am more than fortunate to have learnt yoga from the traditional yoga gurus. Since then, I have been attending online yoga sessions with Mahesh G, and every class reminds me how deeply rooted he is in true yogic wisdom. His immense knowledge, patience, and clarity make every session transformative. The sincerity, humility, and dedication with which the teachers guide their students reflect genuine yogic values. I feel blessed to be learning from them and grateful for the positive shift their teachings have brought into my life🙏

I visited Karoli for drop-in classes and practiced Vinyasa Karma, Body Opening, and Yin Yoga. Each session was a beautiful blend of mindful movement, breath awareness, and conscious guidance. The practices were not just physically enriching but also grounding and introspective, leaving a lasting impact beyond the mat. The depth of knowledge and sincerity that Mahesh bring to his classes reflects a strong foundation in traditional yogic principles, something that feels rare and deeply valuable. I’m truly grateful for my time practicing at Karoli Yoga School and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful and traditional yoga experience in Rishikesh. 🙏

If you want to experience Radical Change in your Yoga Practice And have increased Strength and Depth Karoli Yoga is the place!!! At the age of 74 after 50 years of practicing yoga in many different styles and having been intimately involved in Vedic studies for many years I was able to follow the dharmic call of yoga in my heart and it les me to Rishikesh. I believe myself most fortunate and quite blessed to have found a place in the yoga shala of Mahesh of Karoli yoga studio. The presentation and sequencing of his teaching has a been a rejuvenation for my yoga practice experience, physically, mentally, and spiritually As a retired family medicine physician and long time yoga practitioner I highly recommend you consider taking a class at Karoli yoga and test for yourself
