    Amazing school, genuine, with very good and experienced teachers! The school takes care of everything, food is pure vegetarian and very good quality, always fresh! It was an amazing experience, i was totally not experienced in yoga and i almost didn’t have any knowledge! Now i know the philosophy of yoga, anatomy, can sing mantras, can do the primary series of Ashtanga (thks to Rahul 🙏) , pranayama etc. The schedule is intense, be prepared to study and to practice! I would totally do it again and can recommend Akshi yogashala 😍👋 Akshi, i will come back for 300 hours !!

    I have been practicing yoga for several years without seeing much progress. With this yoga training, I have not only learnt many things about yoga history and philosophy, but also improved a lot in my practice. I feel more confident and mindful in my practice It was amazing to work with akshiyogshala. They have an excellent yoga environment that to help you relax your whole body. There teachers are also very patient to teach every yoga position. I feel very helpful when I taking their classes.

    Thank you Akshi Yogashala for this great TTC, I appreciate all the experience, knowledge and good vibes. Also want to recommend this school to study Yoga Teacher Training Course or for Yoga Retreats. In this school you can enjoy good satvic, non-spicy food, comfortable rooms, very professional and experienced teachers. Learn how to practice Pranayama with a real Yogui who lived in a cave of Himalayan Mountains with wild animals. Again, I appreciate the opportunity to receive that kind of knowledge and feel privileged to be a part of the 300 hours TTC.

    Wonderful. 100% recommend. I booked through recommendation from a friend and not only location is nicely outside of the busiest area but walking distance but mostly the staff, the teachers, the whole yoga teacher training 200 hours gave me so much knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy of human body but also inspiration and motivation for further practice, self awareness and development and teaching!! Look nowhere else!

    doing this Yoga Teachers Training course was one of the best decisions I have ever taken. The team at Akshi is very cordial and helpful. I spent the greatest enriching time of my life there. At Akshi Yogashala, the complete course has been designed wonderfully to equip oneself with the knowledge of not only the outer physical health but also the inner and deeper self. I would recommend everyone who is reading my post, to go for the yoga course at Akshi Yogashala, Rishikesh. Trust me, you will have a wonderful time there😀😊

    My perspective of looking at negative thoughts from a positive perspective has changed. I will work on it more. January 2024 It was truly an amazing experience for me. They have an excellent yoga environment that helps in relaxing your entire body. All the trainers at Akshi Yogashala are well knowledgeable and experienced, they know how to deal with different people especially, they work on your weakness first. Will work step by step on body and mind. I liked the way of teaching very much and the behavior is also very impressive, always helps when needed...Friends, you must come for yoga. Contact Akshi Yogashala. Yoga has helped me a lot physically and mentally and has even changed my perspective of looking at everything in a positive way.🙏

    I had an amazing experience for my 200hr yoga ttc in Akshi yogashala. We were thaught the old Himalayan yogic traditions and it is transformative. From mantra's, philosophy, pranayama to hatha, vinyasa, anatomy, alignment of postures to meditation classes. The teachers are very knowledgeable, have a lot of experience and love to share that. Everything was sublime and every question was answered beyond my expectations. They made us feel comfortable during our stay and our practices. The yogic food that was served was very delicious! Rooms are basic but comfortable. The neighborhood is peaceful and calm and very close to the ganga! A much recommended school, they really look after you!

    Last month spent here was one of my the most important, deep and transforming in my (not only yoga) life. I am happy to choose this school full of professionals and loving beings for Yoga Teacher’s Training. The only sad thing is-I have to leave…but only for now…hopefully I will come back soon - here to my second home🩵 Thanks from all my heart to all who create this wonderful place in the world.

    I June 2019 I completed my 200h TTC at Akshi Yoga. This school was recommended to me and I can only recommend it to anyone who is genuinly interested in learning more about yoga. Either for your own personal growth or for becoming a good teacher, attend a teacher training there! The owner of the school lives on the premises with his family and they all live and breathe yoga. The atmosphere is extremly positive and calm and from what I understood two of the teachers learned from the same master like the owner for a decade! All teachers are passionate about their subject and don't necessarily agree with each other but show immense respect for the other. It is very helpful and beneficial to have different teachers for different subjects because they are each so fond of their specialized topic, that they are really amazing in sharing it with you! You can ask anything and you will get answers! And learn so much more when getting involved. Yoga turned out to be so much more than just asanas as you know then from Western drop-in yoga classes. The hardest part was to take all the information in and memorize it. Such long days packed to the rim with information! All ceremonies and classes were conducted with a lot of care and well organized and clearly structured. There were free time activities schedduled, that I chose not to attend because of personal reasons. Activities like rafting and seeing the sunrise on the hill and arti at the river. I would have loved to participate but just couldn't. But if you are only in India for the time of the training, make sure not to miss it! There was an agenda in the lessons but still room to get into more depth and to ask questions. And plus all teachers are so very experienced, they can easily adopt to any questions you bring, no matter in which lesson or on which topic. For Rishikesh, full of commercial yoga schools that just see the money from white tourists, and a place that I would consider the least spiritual you can picture, finding Akshi Yoga is like finding a pearl on the beach! Of course they have to make money! They have teachers and their families to feed! But their focus remains yoga! And helping anyone to be able to have a taste of yoga and make it their life! To me it felt like they rather have less student but those who care than a lot of students that just want a certificate. Because then teaching becomes a waste of time. Most other schools seem to only want money and don't care much about the results. And I never heard of anyone failing the test ... I had a longer list of schools not to go to from people that had been to them than a list of schools to check out before I went to Rishikesh. And talking to students on the road, many said they were not particularly happy but tried to make the best out of it. They were excited about being abroad and about being in Rishikesh and were overwhelmed by that and had nothing to compare it to. I had tried another school, one of the biggest and after one week nearly quit yoga altogether. If it wasn't because of trying Akshi Yoga, I am not sure if I would still be keen on yoga ... So before you book a training, ask some people you know for their honest opinion! Looking at reviews on the internet makes me wonder how many are genuine and also, how many are just to polite to say things how they are and therefore don't review! Consider this: Schools that have 60 plus customers a month, how come they only have a handful of reviews over the years and mainly positive? I recommend you do a little bit of research about the teachers, too, and how frequently they change. At Akshi you will find they stick - because it is a good and genuine place and not about the money first! It is a genuine way to make a living, doing what they are doing best. Teaching us! Answering our questions and helping us on the way! That is what we pay for, their expertise and interest in us becoming yogis to the degree we choose. Compare schools! Just make sure you put Akshi on your list! Email them or call them and get a feeling. You will also find they actually do reply.

    Best yoga school highly recommend this school. I had the most amazing experience with them while doing course in Rishikesh. Teachers are very professional and Accommodation is so good. I improved my yoga practice nd gained more confidence on my teaching. They motivated me and helped me. They taught me the benefits of yoga and how the alignments and regular practice have to be. If you are keen to learn, good energy , friendly environment to relax and work hard on developing yourself, then this school is good for you.

    Best yoga time and school in Rishikesh What an incredible time we had practicing here! The atmosphere was simply delightful, and the teachers were both experienced and courteous. Guru Vivek, in particular, was absolutely amazing, with a wealth of knowledge and skill. The location couldn't have been better, nestled amidst the beauty and tranquility of nature. The arrangements for students were well thought out, and the support staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. All in all, our stay here for yoga was truly superb, bringing about a refreshing change in both mind and life. We can't wait to return for another visit!

    My journey in this school started in 2017 I completed 200 hours and of course I came back already back to my family for 300 hours. It has changed my whole life, my understanding my awareness. The teachers helped me to awaken the power of my mind and body. The professionalism of this school knows no bounds they are kind cheerful funny intillegent and intellectual. Be assured that you will be taken care of and given quality knowledge that will allow you to stand on your own feet. You will be strong in body and mind! Put aside all doubts and expectations and go to learn such art as yoga and your whole inner world will be illuminated with light. Zero in and your mind will be filled with good knowledge and everything will automatically fall in place I am grateful to AkshiYogashala you are my family. The place where I want to come back again and again.

    As a student of Akshi Yogshala, my journey has been nothing short of transformative. The instructors impart not only the physical aspects of yoga but also the profound wisdom behind each practice. The supportive community and serene environment create an ideal space for self-discovery and personal growth. Akshi Yogshala goes beyond being a school; it's a nurturing haven where I've not only refined my yoga skills but also deepened my connection to mind, body, and spirit. The personalized guidance and holistic approach make this school a gem for anyone on the path of self-realization through yoga. Grateful to be part of this enriching experience at Akshi Yogshala.
