GoogleIf you are looking for a genuine, professional, fun and caring school, this is the right place for you. I recently took the 300 TTC and it was the best choice I could make. To start with, the location of the school is very central, yet far from the hustle and bustle, which is perfect for the purpose of soaking up on your daily practices. Everyone here is amazing and the teachers are very knowledgeable and passionate: I enjoyed every single class here and the teaching methods to explain details in depth. I personally found Yoga Therapy such an interesting subject that definitely brought more awareness to me in terms of good habits and healthy lifestyle, which I believe is very important to know and share with your future students. I also finished this course with a true appreciation for Ashtanga Vinyasa practice , which at first I was very skeptical about since I never fully understood this practice, so thank you 🙏🏻 Last but not least, the staff here is caring and attentive, ensuring a comfortable and clean environment for everyone. The food is healthy and cooked with love. Big shoutout to the management for being so committed and organising the best excursions in Rishikesh for the students. Overall what I gained in the whole month at Rishikesh Yoga Association is not only knowledge, but also strength, confidence, mindfulness, awareness and calmness in my mind. I am beyond grateful for all of this to all of you Ji. Grazie 🙏🏻 Till we meet again ✨🫶🏻
Namaste everyone🙏🏻🔆 If you are looking for a sign, THIS IS IT :-)! Look, i was also afraid, i was coming alone as a solo-traveler -first time in India. People from RYA helped me with everything. From beggining, till the “end”. On my first day, first person i saw was Girish(Hiiii), and helped me with backpack. And then eeeverything started. Nice rooms, nice food, kind and warm teachers and some “strangers😀” which cross my path and now they are connected to my heart. You know, i was not expecting anything and now, while im sitting on airport im just thinking: WHAT A DREAM. But it was not dream, it was/is REALITY. Thank you RYA: Hari Ji,Snehal Ji , Mohit Ji, Abhishek Ji ,Ankit Ji, Sandeep Ji,Ganesh Ji, Anirudh Ji, Joshan Ji, Girish Ji for this experience, knowlage and energy you are giving. Big thanks and greetings to the kitchen for nice food , Jagdish Ji for nice photos and to every person that is part of this place and creating such a wonderful space. Thank God for my classmates= beautiful people with golden hearts. Give this world good energy. Hope to see you soon. Bianka.
I am profoundly grateful for the invaluable experience gained during my 300-hour Teacher Training Course (TTC). The instructors demonstrated exceptional passion for their craft and remarkable patience in addressing our diverse tangential questions without judgment. This course has significantly contributed to my self-discovery. The school consistently catered to the individual needs of every student, particularly regarding dietary preferences, ensuring that all palates were accommodated. The accommodation provided was both comfortable and cozy. Furthermore, the school's location is truly exceptional; the serene mountains and the tranquil moments of dusk and dawn create an ideal environment for meditation, introspection, and dedicated practice.
Rishikesh Yoga Association is a truly peaceful place with such positive energy. The teachers are kind, dedicated, and make you feel like part of a family. A wonderful environment for learning yoga and growing from within. Updating my Review after completing my 300Hr YTT Coming back for my 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training after completing my 200-hour here feels like returning home. This time, I felt even more connected—mentally, physically, and spiritually. The amount of knowledge I have absorbed is incredible, and the guidance has been powerful yet gentle. The masculine energy of the teachers was filled with strength, warmth, and softness in their behaviour, which created a safe and inspiring space for growth. Grateful for this beautiful journey and for the transformation I am experiencing. 🙏✨
1000/10 YTTC200hrs! The amount of knowledge we were given in just 23 days was amazing. Not only the knowledge, but applying it within our lives. All of the teachers are so so kind and all the classes were really accessible for all levels of asana and experiences in practise. This was my first time in India and and they helped me from start to finish, picked me up from my accom & provided taxis when needed and we could go to any one of them with any advice or any question and we would have the answer! The food was yummy and they made gluten free and vegan options as well as non spicy options available at request. I will definitely be back for my 300hr TTC. I have made friends for life through this course and already can’t wait to come back!
