GoogleI am incredibly grateful to this school. Truly, deeply grateful for the atmosphere they created. It felt so warm, so human, so supportive - like a family. They were always ready to help with everything, and it meant a lot to me. These days were absolutely amazing. All the teachers were wonderful, and I fell in love with every single class. I also experienced a personal transformation during this time. I met many beautiful and close people. I feel changes in my body - my flexibility improved, many things shifted, and I learned so much. It feels like a powerful and beautiful beginning. I also want to say that the food was absolutely delicious. The accommodation was good, and the excursions were wonderful. There is also a beautiful garden, and honestly, everything was just perfect. I am very, very thankful to you for this. It was so comfortable and so good to be there. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful school.

Thank You 🙏🏽 Rajeev ji , Srushti ji and all Teachers...🙏🏽 "Highly recommended!"
Rishikesh Traditional Yoga School exceeded all my expectations for my 200-hour YTT. The location is absolutely perfect, close to everything you need (Secret Garden Cafe is just a short walk away!), yet tucked away from the noise and chaos of the main areas. It's the ideal peaceful setting for deep learning. What truly sets this school apart is the quality of teaching. In programs like this, the teaching is everything, and I couldn't have asked for better instructors. Every teacher brought expertise, passion, and genuine care to their instruction, which made all the difference in my learning. Shubhash ji's Ashtanga sessions were masterful, Shub ji brought philosophy to life in the most engaging way, and Dip's anatomy and meditation classes were incredibly insightful. The food was delicious throughout, and every member of the school made me feel welcome and supported. Special thanks to Dharmu ji, whose kindness and warmth added so much to the experience. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality yoga teacher training in a supportive environment, I highly recommend them.
Namaste! Very grateful to Rishikesh traditional yoga school for the beautiful time that I spent there!!! I decided to study yin yoga exactly in this school because I’ve heard that it’s one of the best place to learn and experience about yin yoga! Well I can say and highly recommend this school for people who searching this style of yoga! Very beautiful and calm place in Upper Tapovan! Rooms with the beautiful view on Himalayas in a very green zone! Food was very very tasty and various! About teachers - all of my teachers on that course are absolutely professional… very happy and grateful for the knowledge that they shared with us! The owner of the school Rajeev ji solved all the problems in a blink of an eye! Big big thanks for everything! Forever in my heart 🙏🏻❤️🥰🕉️
There were countless times during the course that I felt so grateful that I was enrolled in RYTS. It's located at a perfect little spot right next to the Secret Garden Cafe, has a peaceful garden space in front of the school, and is in a clean and safe location. The area is peaceful and lush, with a great view of the mountains from the yoga studio and rooms. I arrived in March, and the weather was absolutely perfect! Since the course is in India, expect the common issues such as cleanliness as compared to a first world country and unusual male attention if you're a woman. These are not issues that any yoga school can control, but are insignificant compared to the experience you're getting. The daily schedule is extremely manageable, allowing students time to explore the upper Tapovan area. The class sizes are small, 5-15 students max. The teachers are knowledgeable and helpful, and are able to break down complex yoga concepts into easy-to-understand segments. My favorite classes were the philosophy classes conducted under the shade of a tree in the garden space. Regarding food, the chef is phenomenal and prepares healthy vegetarian Indian food every day, even preparing certain foods to our request in the last week. The small class size allows for a more personalized course schedule. Our class asked for a cooking class from the chef, yin yoga classes, and a sound healing session, and we were provided with everything we asked for. Rajeev, the coordinator, does everything he can to help every student feel safe, comfortable, and happy at the school. If I could go back, I'd still pick RYTS for my 200 hour certification!
