GoogleMy experience at Sarvodaya Yoga Shala was really transformative. I have progressed in my yoga practice and I am confident in my ability to teach when I go home. The teachers are exceptionally knowledgeable and deliver the traditional teachings of yoga with authenticity and depth, including mantra chanting, pranayama (breath work), meditation, and yoga philosophy. If you’re hoping to organise retreats in the future, this training provides a strong foundation. The owner and manager were kind, supportive, and empathetic throughout the course, which was important given the intensity of the training. The private chef prepared authentic Indian meals every day, which were delicious. The school immersed us in Indian culture by taking us to spiritual events and places in Rishikesh. The location is beautiful, set up in the mountains, peaceful, fresh air, yet still within easy reach of Rishikesh town. One of the best cafés in Rishikesh is right opposite the school. The excursions were brilliant too. I never expected to go white water rafting on the Ganges! It was such a fun and exhilarating experience. I leave not only with the school’s teachings but also with my own personal growth. Thank you to the Sarvodaya Yoga School for such an inspiring experience. Namaste.
My experience at Sarvodaya Vinyasa School was amazing for my 200 hour TTC! The moment I arrived I felt at home, Ravi ji who manages the school made sure everything is well organised and no task is too big for him. Rohit and Rahul are the top chefs and they make the most delicious food and always accommodated my vegan needs. They were also very friendly and taught us how to cook some typical Indian dishes! The teachers; Jeet ji, Aman ji, Mahesh ji, Pandey ji, Pavan ji and Kushal ji were all very knowledgeable and kind and I enjoyed learning from them. Vikas ji is the owner and ran the vinyasa classes, I enjoyed his classes as he has a great sense of humour and also pushed us to do more which was exactly what I wanted! I loved my room, it was spacious and the bedding was cosy and warm. Ravi also made so much effort for Christmas Day and arranged a special party which was so sweet and thoughtful! I miss the school already, you’ll not want to leave!
My name is Sunil and I just completed my 200H from here. I had a truly beautiful and transformative experience at Sarvodaya Vinyasa Yoga School. The environment is peaceful, supportive, and perfect for deepening both personal practice and teaching skills. The entire team is very caring and dedicated to providing authentic yogic knowledge. A special thanks to Vikas Ji — he is truly the best teacher. His way of explaining philosophy and asana alignment is very clear and practical. He teaches with patience, wisdom, and genuine kindness. His classes are inspiring and help students build confidence, strength, and deeper understanding of yoga beyond just physical practice. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for authentic Vinyasa training in Rishikesh. It is not just a course, it is a life-changing journey. Thank You
Namaste ji 🙏🏻 I had a wonderful experience at Sarvodaya Vinyasa Yoga School. The environment of the school is very peaceful, supportive, and perfect for learning yoga deeply. The teachers are highly knowledgeable and guide every student with great patience and dedication. I would recommend this place. And i will surely come for 300 Hours.
Sarvodaya Vinyasa Yoga School exceeded all my expectations. From the staff, teachers, building, food to the location. The daily structure of the classes really worked well and the 6.00am start has become part of my routine. All the classes really taught me so much about the mind, body and soul and this will definitely have a lasting impact on me and I feel sure on the people I will share this with. I particularly enjoyed Philosophy, Mantra and Meditation. The extracurricular activities were super fun and added to the group bonding ❤️ I am really so glad I chose Rishikesh and Sarvodaya Vinyasa Yoga School and feel very sure I will return here again to learn more!🙏🏼
