GoogleI had an absolutely amazing time at Nath Yogshala Rishikesh! Studying yoga in India has always been my dream, and this experience was everything I hoped for and more. The location is stunning, surrounded by nature, providing the perfect atmosphere for deep learning and self-discovery. The teachers were incredibly well-prepared, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. The training was intense, but I always felt well taken care of. The school is within walking distance of shops, cafés, and the breathtaking Ganga River, which made the experience even more special. There was never a dull moment, with activities filling each day and enhancing both our practice and understanding of yoga. I am forever grateful for this journey and for the entire Nath Yogshala team. Thank you for making this such an unforgettable experience!
Namaste ! I highly recommend Rishikesh Nath Yogshala School to pursue your Yoga Teacher Training. The school is on the most beautiful and peaceful side of the Ganga, in Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga. From the beginning, I felt good there. The staff and teachers are all very friendly, helpful and professional. They cared for our wellbeing and needs. The teachers are top-level: I learned so much in such a short time period. The courses were also very rich and varied,. They opened a vast ocean of knowledge for us to dive into... I also appreciated having such a 'strict' schedule: waking up at 5:30 in the morning, starting with Ashtanga Yoga, to be energised for the day , and making the most of your day. It was, to my surprise, not draining to have such long days, but quite the opposite. I felt more energised. All the activities that were included on our free time were also very fun and engaging: cooking indian meals, visiting the Kunjapuri temple at the sunrise, pick-nicking delicious food by the river, rafting, ... On sundays, you had a free day, and I enjoyed visiting neighbouring places and nature... I miss it very much and I need to come back very soon to see more of India :) Rishikesh is definitely a great place to start when exploring India for the first time as it is quite calm, especially on this side of the Ganga (compared to the other, busier side) I wish you all the best in your yoga journey! and I hope I will see this beautiful indian family very soon ...

Recommended! When a friend of mine recommended me this place, I just felt I had to be here. The whole experience has come with ups and downs, and so many teachings. Both inside and outside the school. To see and feel me grow into a yoga teacher has been something I’m truly grateful for! I arrived far too shy to step in front of a group and I left confident, with an authentic presence and ready to go out into the world teaching. It was the essence of what I was hoping for. Deep gratitude! Pro’s - The teachers were obviously teaching from the heart and giving it there all. I appreciated that. - Rahul and Ravi (owners) sincerely gave their all to accomodate us as best as they could. - The shala was perfect, and during our course we had the luxury of AC’a getting installed! (Since it was 45 degrees, this was a welcoming surprise, for us ánd the teachers!) - the food 3 times a day was perfect to me, however some started to yearn for something on the streets. But what a luxury to have 3 times a day nurturing food on the table!
This school made me feel like part of the family. The staff and teachers really take care of you and the school is placed in a peaceful part of rishikesh near the ganga. The knowledge they share with you is honest and authentic. They really want you to understand that yoga is so much more than the asanas, that yoga is about the daily actions, your thoughts, the way you treat yourself and others. I really encourage you to come if you are looking for an affordable option to do your YTT. Groups can be bigger or smaller depending on the date you come, but in either way you will learn so much and be grateful for the experience.
I absolutely loved this online yoga course! The structure was very beginner-friendly yet offered enough depth to keep things engaging throughout. Each session was clearly explained, with just the right balance of movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. The instructor had such a calming and encouraging presence — even through the screen, it felt personal and supportive. I especially appreciated the modifications offered for different levels and the focus on listening to your body.
