    I have done my 5 days yoga workshop and 200hrs TTC from this school.This is one of the unique yoga school which teaches the traditional Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga.They have great food and accommodation facilities which supports the yoga training.The staff and faculties are very knowledgeable and loving. Overall environment of the yoga school creates a strong base for learner to absorb all the learning of yoga studies during training.

    It nearly has been one year now that I visited Abhinam School in Goa. The school was recommended by a really fantastic yoga teacher of mine. I totally knew I can trust her and already had good expectations. My expectations haven't been wrong. The teachers were so, so welcoming, friendly, heartwarming. It felt like you live with your new, big family and I even did not get homesick because the teachers were always here for you. The food was super delicious as well. For sure, it was kept simple, but I never missed anything. There was all you need to stay healthy, comfortable and saturated ;). I am very thankful for the knowledge I gained there. They do not only teach yoga. They teach ashtanga in a very "healthy" way, so you don't have to be afraid to get hurt. The teachers know what they are doing. Especially in anatomy class with Siddho you get the feeling they really understand how the body works. Deepika teached us philosophy in a very passionate way and Lila was just the best ashtanga teacher you could wish for. I took a lot of knowledge with me and feel comfortable enough to teach other students on this solid base. The teachers were all taught by Guruji Namito, who was taught by Iyengar himself. I can only repeat myself: Thank you for having me, for being there for us, for sharing all your knowledge and especially your love with us. Thank you for lighting up our mood, for helping us understand the purpose of this beautiful life philosophy Yoga :). I am sure I will come back to that peaceful place! All the best x3

    I did my YTTC from Abhinam yoga school. I had a life changing experience there, which I can not describe it in words. I learnt all yogic subjects like Asana practice, Art of teaching, uses of props, Pranayama, Yoga Philosophy , Yoga Anatomy etc. The Abhinam teachers are very kind and they treat you as a part of their family. I am grateful for this experience. I highly recommend this yoga school for all yoga lovers who have passion to learn and want to grow in the field of yoga.🙏🏻♥️💫

    I have just finished my 200 hours Ashtanga YTT at Abhinam Yoga School in Goa. Let’s start with the good parts: - The school has an amazing location: not far from an international airport, close to the beach, the accommodation & school & food is all in one building. - All 3 teachers (Abhi, Deepika, Ankita) are there to help anytime you have questions or doubts. - Due to her disciplined personality, Abhi is an excellent and authentic yoga teacher! - Deepika and Ankita really understand yoga and are passionately devoted to it. - Deepika is an excellent yoga philosophy teacher who is also ready to discuss topics after the class with great patience. - The school managed to integrate asana practice, meditation, anatomy, philosophy in the YTT. - We tried out everyday a different type of meditation technique. These evenings were my personal highlights of the course. - The school has two amazingly fantastic cooks! They were there only to cook for us and provided genius and authentic vegan Indian food! And now the challenges: - Deepika and Ankita are all the time on their cell phones! This does not fit to the yoga philosophy about awareness (that they teach constantly) at all. - None of the teachers seem to have any idea about sport science: o there were many injuries in my group and some received (from a medical view) wrong advices o they have strange ideas about what warm up means (do headstand as warmup at 05:45 in the morning) - The school is not well organized: o They write every week a schedule and then they do not stick to it. o Except me all other students received a welcome message, weeks prior to the class, so I was surprised when I was there that I should have brought a laptop with me for writing my assignment on it (Do not book over Yoga Dhyan, but directly at Abhinam Yoga School!) o They really should have told us in advance that we need to bring some pass photos with us, it would have spared money and stress when we were there. - The “guru”, Namito spent only 2 x 45 minutes with teaching us philosophy. The little time he spent with us was pretty convincing that he is just a money lover opportunist. Smart person but not really authentic. - Ankita is a terrible anatomy teacher. Her way of explaining things show that she has no idea about teaching, she just talks as she would read out loud of an anatomy book. It seemed to me that in our group only those were following it who already studied anatomy before, due to their profession for example. I personally do not feel myself ready to teach yoga with the anatomy knowledge that was provided to me. - We had the SAME breakfast. Every single day. Some started eating outside on their own costs… - My husband joined me on this trip but did not take part at the YTT. We were the only ones who had their room 500m away from the school, at the other location, Villa Mango. That means, we had to walk daily 2 km more than the other students which I consider a lot of time and effort considering that our bodies desperately needed rest and sleep between the course programs. Except me all other students had A/C in their room (okay, for one person it was not working). We did not even have proper furniture in our room: No mirror, no table, almost nothing to store our stuff in. It is crazy that they even charged extra 500 INR per night for my husband’s accommodation! This experience was a life chaning event for me. I really learnt a lot about myself. I would recommend everyone doing a YTT in India who wants to be a yoga teacher. But maybe at another school.

    During my training, I have learnt a lot about yoga but mostly about myself. I loved the teaching methodology classes which allowed me to realise my potential. I have deepened my own knowledge with adjusting myself and others in the classes. The teachers were very thorough and motivating though the whole 200hrs. I would highly recommend Abhinam Yoga school.

    The teacher training experience was truly one of its kind. The teacher’s knowledge is so vast, that it motivates you to keep pushing yourself hard and try to learn as much as you can. The course is intense but fun and managed very professionally. The focus on yoga philosophy has really impacted me for the rest of my life. It is a safe place to seek, explore, and learn. I have been teaching very confidently since completing my training course and will continue to share this collective joy and love of yoga with whoever I come across 

    Abhinam Yoga Turned Me Into a Yoga Teacher! I sit here writing this, about 2 months since my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, with a smile on my face and pure joy. I’m about to go and teach my 4th class for the week, and every class taught is a team come true - and I have Abhinam Yoga to thank. I attended the Dec/Jan ’17 YTT batch in Goa, India. Where to begin…the Teachers were fabulous. All the staff had years of knowledge and experience under their belt, and were always very encouraging and helpful. Senior teacher Depepika was especially knowledgeable in Philosophy and was always willing to make time to chat about concepts or problems we were having. The facilities are great. While there are 2 shalas: rooftop and outdoor ‘jungle’ shala, the outdoor shala was especially peaceful and serene. The food was amazing. Seriously, I lost 8kg and I stuffed my face every day. Being vegan is easy at Abhinam! The most exciting thing for me, and most of the students I’m sure, was being taught and in the presence of Yoga Master Yoga Namito, a direct disciple of B.K.S Iyengar and Sri Patthabi Jois (NAME DROP, I KNOW!!) but his stories, insights, and general attitude to life was very profound. I rate this school 10 out of 10. Hoping to go back later in the year! And like I said, I'm now teaching yoga at 3 different gyms/studios - what more could I possibly ask for?

    Loved their 5 day workshops. Since I'm a beginner in yoga, I felt very supported and the teachers were really patient and taught me some key points about my yoga practice. In one week I notice so many changes. I would highly recommend Abhinam School

    Thank you abhinam yoga school for this transformation life course you give me . I don't know where to start my review, the whole experience was really amazing. Will start with teachers they were really great , learned a lot from them and their knowledge. Namito is a great teacher who was never selfish to share his knowledge and experience with us , he was kind and patient with us all the time . Also I learned from maki a lot who was always teaches with kindness and firm at the same time , and deepika was a very good teacher too and her passion to philosophy made me love the philosophy class and wants to know more and read more , for the sweet anniina she passed to me her passion and love to yoga . I'm very grateful to all the teachers in abhinam yoga and the knowledge they shared with love and passion. Thank you 🙏🏼. I think one of the best in this school is the knowledge of alignment and adjustment they teaches there very good helped me a lot in my practice and it will help me to share this knowledge to more people in my future classes . The school is very clean rooms are good , the Shala was very good too and equipped with all the materials I needed in my practice, the nutrition we had was very good too and healthy balanced. At the end I want to say thank you abhinam yoga school for this amazing experience you gave me I'm very grateful to you 🙏🏼.

    Namito and Deepika are excellent instructors; my practice has progressed & deepened so much during this course. The location was also perfect right close to the beach. The entire team right from the instructors to the staff were very kind and helpful. It was truly a great experience. Really worth it. I would do my 300 hrs with Abhinam Yoga School again!

    I'm very happy to have chosen this Yoga school for my 200hr teacher training. Now I can practice and teach Ashtanga in a safe way with props, be able to teach alignment or other style as well. Thanks to all the teachers, environment and food… everything was so supportive for my transformation.

    I loved the the experience I had at Abhinam yoga school. All the teaching and non teaching staff are so loving and caring. In every aspect of my training I felt so supported by my fellow students and the trainers. What I loved about the school was that they focused on alignment based injury free Yoga practice. Every pose taken from Ashtanga Vinyasa primary series was thought with great prefection by understanding applied anatomy of the body and the various forces of Bio mechanics applied to make the Asana effortless and injury free. The philosophy and mediation classes were eye opening sessions for me. I enjoyed all the mediation classes as they involved lots of dance, chantings, kirtans, music and made me understand that meditation is all about celebration and there is nothing serious about it. Lastly, I loveeeeedddddddd the vegan healthy meals they provided me. My plate was loaded with fresh organic vegetables, salads, spinach, lentils and rice which was mouth watering as always. With the support of such lip smacking healthy food I could definitely be huge changes in my body in terms of strength, flexibility and shape. I highly recommend this authentic yoga school for any yoga lover who has the passion to learn and grow more in this field. Nameste 🙏🏽
