I highly recommend Rishikesh Yogkulam! They really made me feel like part of their family. The classes were extremely informative and beneficial both physically and mentally. The instructors were very experienced and knowledgeable, but also personable and compassionate. I was there in March 2023 for the 200 hr YTT and I cannot speak highly enough about this school. From the instructors and classes, the staff, the excursions, and even the location. This was a life changing experience and I cannot imagine having gone anywhere else. Thank you Yogkulam!

Rishikesh Yogkulam was a real family vibe, from the moment I arrived. Every member of the staff are super helpful, kind and patient. Pankaj Ji and Jitender Ji i particular were total gems, always there to come with us on excursions, like a comedy double act. Just brilliant fun, as well as being competent asana teachers. I had my birthday whilst there and the whole team could not have done more to make me feel very special! It's a birthday I shan't forget! The sound healing, bollywood lesson, holi and beach yoga experiences were all lovely extras. The emotional release was...transformational, so good I had another one before i left. The standard of teaching I felt was very good. Amit Ji was a particularly excellent teacher, so clear! Mandeep Ji was also a treasure, I could listen to him chant mantras alllll day long, he has a beautiful presence. We had one big assignment, which covered all class modules and 3 teaching classes as part of our assessments at the end. Which we all felt well prepared for. The meals at the school were nice and healthy, different everyday. Located on the balcony where we could enjoy the sun and get to see the 200ytt group & mingle. My room was actually in the hotel near the school, which was shared. It was basic, but had a balcony and was 3 minutes walk away from the 300YTT yoga hall which passed a very popular coffee shop that sells fresh baked goods. The school is very centrally located. Lots of wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, an organic store for bits and bobs, the river and beach are all super close. The 300YTT was an intense course, but totally worth it! Sundays are your only time off till the end of the course. So they are precious. The school sometimes organises excursions on this day, or you can use the time to explore yourself, get a massage etc. It's very flexible. Big shout out to Ella Ji, she was such a delight to interact with, she offered so much local knowledge and advice, always with a smile and patience. Her occasional yin classes in place of ashtanga were an absolute joy! Loved it and would recommend ❤️

I did my 300h course at Rishikesh Yogkulam Yoga School. I must say that teachers are really prepared and try their best to make your experience and learning the most holistic as possible. The course seemed to me very complete and very interesting whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yoga practitioner. Excursions on the free day are also very nice and varied. I really recommend this school!

My experience in Rishikesh Yogkulam was amazing! I am really happy to have chosen this school to do the 200hs YTT. The teachers are very professional, you can see how much they know and love what they do. They inspired me so much! The food is delicious and the accomodation is perfect to enjoy a nice stay. I really enjoyed every class, every talk and moment I have shared with everyone from the school (staff, teachers, students); thank you to all of you 🙏

Wow! What an amazing experience! This was my second trip to Rishikesh to Yoga teacher training and I so glad I chose Rishikesh Yogkulam. The teaching was fantastic…. Mandeep ji started our day and taught Pranayama & philosophy … I could have listened to him all day….. Jittu ji took us for Hatha Yoga. His style was really inclusive, and the classes were always fun & challenging. Physiology with Amit ji brought a whole new perspective to how the body worked in preparation got Mahesh Ji teaching us Yoga Therapy. Brilliant by the way! Pankaj ji for both adjustments & Ashtanga was also a real winner. Style was to challenge us, and he certainly did whilst also teach us a lot. Dhirenda ji let us in how to be better teachers and had some gems that have brought back to the delight of my students in Scotland. Ella ji’s Yin was simply beautiful, and the Meditation with Deepa ji was so educational, interesting, relaxing, and fun…. Accommodation: Comfortable & clean. I opted for no AC and glad I did the fan kept the air flowing allowing me to acclimatise easily. Food: Satvic Diet is not for everyone but there was plenty, and it was varied. As the school is in the centre of Tapovan, there is may other places you can get food that is tasty and cheap. Excursions: Included in the price and the 2 I went on were brilliant. An early morning at Baal Kumari Temple and White water rafting on the Ganga were really worth the early starts. Overall, this was the most experience and I will return ……. I feel that Amit has created loving & nurturing school that is like an extended family.

I can’t say enough good things about this school. It was one of the best things I ever did for myself. I stayed for both the 200 and 300 hour courses over a two month period, and in that time I had the privilege of learning from some of the most amazing teachers I have ever had, all of whom I now consider friends. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed with open arms, and my apprehension about being in a new country quickly diminished. You quickly begin to feel at home, and are treated like part of the family. The classes are fantastic, they are thoughtfully and thoroughly put together, and the teachers are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach, as well as invested in your learning. Its not an overstatement to say that much of my outlook on life has changed because of the valuable lessons I have learned here. I will always be grateful that I chose this school and was able to spend my time with all of the amazing people that made it possible. I feel incredibly blessed that my journey through life took me here. From the new experiences, the knowledge I have gained, the personal growth, the sense of acceptance I have seldom found and the lifelong friends that I have made, I can earnestly say that this is a very special place. I sincerely hope I am able to visit again soon. Thank you so much for everything. Much love from Canada, Ryleigh.

You are considering to pick this school? You definitely should! Why? If you choose Yogkulam you will have your best time in India. They are a great, kind and warm-hearted team. You can really tell, that they care about every detail to make your stay perfect. Even beside classes and teachings. If you get sick they will keep an eye on you and provide you with everything you might need. This place feels like family for sure! Words can not describe how grateful and thankful I am for meeting all these wonderful human beings. All in all biggest recommendation. P.S.: I mean.. look at all those happy faces in these pictures🥹 they tell more than words can.

Great 300h yoga teacher training -the place: beautiful and peacefull, very authentic in the Jungle and a great location -the teachers: know what they do, a lot of knowledge and very helpful, always here to share. Also the staff are very kind. -the experience: on sunday the excursion was great and they have a talented photograph for beautiful memories. The celebration/opening/ending were super nice ! Awesome training, it goes deep and you learn a lot, that's all the point! Of course some improvemenr is possible (like having full training of Yoga Therapy and Anatomy, instead of half/half) Otherwise I highly recommend it !

Finished my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 23 days! What an experience it was. The idea of getting my yoga certificate in India became a dream of me the last few years. First with the idea to become more flexible and strong in practicing yoga. But except from the physical part, I learned so much more. For example about the atonomy of the human body, the philosophy of yoga, the right adjustments, ayurveda (natural medicine/lifestyle), pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. I still have a long way to go before I have the knowledge about this all, but it was such a beautiful start! I hope to keep on continuing practicing yoga, pranayama and mediation, because I believe it could make such a difference in my life. A big thanks to @Yogkulam for the amazing experience! Not only for the great teachers, but also for the fun, welcoming us to your Diwali celebration and the family environment. The way you support and pushed us, made us believe in ourselves!

I highly recommend this place for your YTTC. These guys are amazing. They were all very attentive from the moment I arrived and during my entire stay after the course. The team's energy is exceptional and excellent at what they do. My class was four people, which made it easier to focus and get more personalized attention from the instructors. The location is perfect to walk to nearby attractions and enjoy the cafes and activities in Rishikesh. The room/bathroom was very comfortable, spacious, cool and clean. The food was delicious, and you can always explore nearby restaurants for variety options. The excursions were super fun as a team! In the area you will find amazing organic products and ayurvedic massages, etc., which you will need for your sore muscles while taking the course. As a heads up, it can get busy and loud in the streets traffic with motor beeps, monkeys and cows or especially with nearby construction, so I recommend bringing earplugs. Overall, I highly recommend this experience. Come with a flexible, patient, open beginner's mind and no expectations and you will have an amazing time at this school and in India!!

Rishikesh "yogkulam"- yoga family! I now proudly can say that I have a family in Rishikesh. Each and every single student will be taken care with love and affection. When comes to the syllabus and teachings, it is well designed and taught by the expert teachers in each module. I have learnt many things from the teachers who are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The food is cooked and served with Love. I did my 200hrs TTC and will do my 300hrs also in future With yogkulam , because they are my family. The excursion in weekend's are awesome moment. I strongly and personally recommend to opt for this school. Regards, Karthik S

Yogkulam means family. They have been my family during this month of September. I have to say that this school is run from the heart, with highly qualified teachers, where I have learned from their experience and wisdom. With love and affection they have been aware of all our concerns and have taken great care of us. They are serious and professional wanting to transmit yoga in the best way. And the vienes from the school are amazing. Al the best 😘

Rishikesh yogkulam is the best place to go for your yoga teacher training. The teachers are amazing! They are friendly and insightful. They really challenge you but support you at the same time, it is perfect. The food is incredible. The excursions are super fun. Couldn't ask for a better place to have done my ytt. Located close to the center is rishikesh so it's easy to explore town in your free time. The classes slowly build in intensity over the course so you're not overwhelmed right away I felt super confident when it came time to create and teach my own class. My group was amazing, we got really close and supported eachother through the month. I felt like I learned so much and I'm still absorbing all they taught me. I can't wait to go back for my 300 hours if I get the chance.

I have completed my 300hrs YTT in Rishikesh Yogkulam in November 23, this was one of the best experiences in my life. The staff and teachers were all welcoming, helpful knowledgeable and kind. Spending the full month there was life changing, you do indeed feel like a part of family. Everyone is there to support you in your lows and celebrate with you in your highs. The excursions are surprising and magical (one of the best sunrises and meditation experiences in my life). I would definitely go back for another training to Rishikesh Yogkulam. Thank you for this month (and the birthday surprise too! 🥰)

I had a wonderful experience with Rishikesh yogkulam. I've done my 300 hours as completation to reach the 500 hours after have had the experience with the 200 hours online. This is the best school in Rishikesh, all the teachers are amazing and super knowledgble, from the practice of asana until the philosophy pranayama all the subjects. The accomodation and food is high level, super rare in India to find a confortable place like this. The excursion during the weekend and the services available as Sound healing, Emotional blockages, Vedic Astrology consultation and ayurvedic consultation are amazing. Highly recommended if you want to become a yoga teacher or either if you want to go deeper into your practice. You will remember this experience for all your life, it's really life changing Thank you Yogkulam family

A once in a lifetime experience, very well crafted and packaged with a lot of love and affection. The team is motivated towards helping everyone achieve the collective goal. 360 degree perspective on the entire circle of Indian philosophy which gives a deeper understanding of what you are doing and why you are doing. Even after the course ends you may leave physically but mentally you are still in Yogkulam. "You can check out anytime you like but you may never leave" Highly recommended school.

I had the incredible opportunity to embark on a transformative journey in October at Rishikesh Yogkulam, where I completed my Yoga teacher training. This experience was nothing short of remarkable, and I am immensely grateful for the profound impact it has had on my life. The teachers at Rishikesh Yogkulam are not just knowledgeable and experienced but also incredibly dedicated to their craft. (Thank you Jittu, Mandeep, Dr Dhara, Master D, Dr Rohit, Panku ans Ella <3) They shared their wisdom, passion, and love for Yoga with us in a way that was truly inspiring. Their guidance was not limited to the physical postures; it extended to the philosophy, spirituality, and the holistic essence of Yoga. I feel like I've gained a profound understanding of Yoga that goes beyond the asanas. The curriculum was well-structured, covering a wide range of subjects including Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, meditation, pranayama, anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology. The classes were engaging and comprehensive, ensuring that I had a well-rounded education in Yoga. What sets Rishikesh Yogkulam apart is the warm and supportive community that they've cultivated. I met people from all over the world, and we formed deep connections as we embarked on this journey together. The accommodations (at the second building Yin Yang Yoga Academy) and facilities were comfortable, clean, and in harmony with the natural surroundings, fostering a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere that enhanced my overall experience. The daily schedule was well-balanced, allowing for self-reflection, study, and relaxation. My Yoga teacher training at Rishikesh Yogkulam was a life-changing experience. I walked away with not only a Yoga certification but also a greater sense of self-awareness, inner peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. This journey has left an indelible mark on my heart, and I am deeply thankful to Rishikesh Yogkulam for providing me with the tools and knowledge to share the gift of Yoga with others. I highly recommend Rishikesh Yogkulam to anyone looking for a Yoga teacher training program that goes beyond the physical practice and delves into the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of Yoga. It's a place where you can truly transform and grow, both as a Yoga teacher and as a person. Thank you, Rishikesh Yogkulam, for this incredible experience !

I followed the 200 hours yoga teacher course and loved it! Rishikesh is beautiful, the school is welcoming and everything is made to make you feel comfortable (spacious, clean, good food). Teachers are passionate and dedicated to students. I definitely recommend!

I don’t know if Rishikesh Yogkulam is the best Yoga School, but for sure it was the best one for me. It can be the best one for you if you are searching for a school that will provide you with great quality information both practical and theoretical, a good, clean place to stay (you don’t have to stress about cleaning because they even provide that) amazing food and wonderful staff 💕 The school is located in this dreamy mango garden, surrounded by nature. From time to time monkeys and toucans will come to visit you, check your progress 😂 and there’s even a friendly peacock 🦚. Everybody is really helpful, always there for you, from people that “take care of you” before your arrival (I’m the kind of person that has a lot of questions before going somewhere) to people that are in the management team, to the teachers that never seem bored for teaching same or similar things over and over again (I felt like everyone was teaching their first classes in terms of enthusiasm not content or quality of information) to the people that clean and cook for you. They’re all working in union 💕 I liked the place so much that instead of doing just a 200h TTC, I prolonged for the 300h TTC. In the end, spending two amazing months there. I’m really grateful for everything I’ve experienced at Rishikesh Yogkulam and if you’re lucky enough you’ll get to do it too. I could write an entire novel about my experience there but I’ll stop here and let you write your own one. Namaste 🙏 P.s. They have a great photographer that can capture exquisite shots of you and your friends, because it’s impossible not to make friends there

Amazing. The owner and the teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable and happy! The food and accommodations are very good quality. I miss it already! What a beautiful and perfect place to learn the true nature of yoga.

I found it incredibly difficult to choose a school in Rishikesh to complete my 200 hours YTTC. There are so many available, and all with amazing reviews. Luckily, I chose correctly. Rishikesh Yogkulum has got it all spot on. The teachers, whilst still being relatively young, have a wealth of teaching experience to pull on and deliver a course that is incredibly well rounded. They teach with passion, from the heart, and more importantly they all practice what they preach. Not only did I bond with my fellow students, but with the teachers and staff too - they will all be sorely missed! The food was always tasty and plentiful, the rest day entertainment was always great fun. I would highly recommend Rishikesh Yogkulum for anyone wanting to complete their 200 or 300 hour YTTCs.

My time at Rishikesh Yogkulam was truly exceptional and left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and embraced by the serene atmosphere of Rishikesh and the warm hospitality of the staff. The teachers at Yogkulam were not just knowledgeable but also incredibly dedicated. They imparted their wisdom with passion and patience, making the learning experience both enlightening and enjoyable. Whether it was yoga asanas, meditation techniques, or the philosophy behind it all, I felt like I was in the hands of true experts who genuinely cared about my progress. The food at the school was a delightful surprise. It was not only delicious but also wholesome and nourishing. Each meal was a culinary journey through the flavors of India, and it was clear that the chefs put great care into creating balanced and nutritious meals for the students. It was a perfect complement to the physical and mental rejuvenation happening through our daily practices. In terms of personal growth, I can confidently say that I learned so much during my time at Rishikesh Yogkulam. The teachings went beyond the physical practice of yoga and meditation; they extended into a deeper understanding of life, mindfulness, and the connection between body and soul. The lessons I learned here will continue to resonate with me long after I've left. I left Rishikesh Yogkulam with a sense of gratitude and fulfillment, knowing that I had not only gained valuable knowledge and skills but also embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone seeking to deepen their yoga practice, expand their horizons, and find inner peace. Without any doubt I would do it all over again.

The 200 YTT is more than just getting certification, it deepen my practise physically and mentally, thanks to Rishikesh Yogkulam, the teachers were skills, knowledgeable, fun, friendly and confident. I specially enjoy sitting next to Sadhu Ji every night listening to yoga philosophy and learning different meditation techniques. As for the food, it is simple, tasty and fulfill my dietary requirements for the intense course. You must be ready as the training it’s intense, scheduled is packed. But once completed, hip hip hooray. Nothing beat this experience. Oh another very good point of Rishikesh Yogkulam, the small group means you all get good attention on alignment and adjustment and any topics. Hari OM Tat Sat

This school is amazing. I just spent one month there for the 200HR training, the experience was incredible. Rishikesh is full of schools but I am glad I found this one. First, the teachers are really knowledgeable, you can be sure you will learn a lot. All of them are very good teachers, and this makes, I think, the difference with other schools. It is usually a different teacher for each lecture and this gives a very good rythm for the day with many different and interesting interactions. Second, the whole team cares a lot about the students, and not only as yoga students but also on a day to day life. They were always so helpful and kind, trying to find solutions if there were problems, or being there for sick people. Third, they keep the groups below 15 persons, which is a perfect number to really share this experience with others, in a private environnement and have a personal and adapted training. No drop in classes are possible for outside people, which really differentiates them from other schools, making the teaching even more valuable. The food was very good, fresh and changing everyday. You can try most of the Indian specialties by staying there, and the chef even adapted its menus to what we would prefer which was very appreciated. I stayed in a new building, in a very green area, calm and peaceful, with a garden, mango trees, on the other side of the bridge facing Tapovan, but still with a lot of cafés and shops. And, super nice excursions are provided on sundays !

I did my 300hr YTT from the Rishikesh Yogakulam and I can confidently say that it was one of the best investments I have ever made for myself. Not only did I learn a plethora of yoga poses and the various modifications and strengthening exercises that are required to master them, but we were also being very well guided by knowledgeable, responsive and patient teachers at the school . Apart from the Asana classes, I particularly enjoyed the philosophy and anatomy classes, both of which were taught exceptionally well. The food served was also very home-like and appetizing. The only thing that can be worked upon is the pranayama teaching methodology which we brought up to the coordinator and it certainly became better. I am sure they will continue to work on this as they truly care about the takeaways their students have from the course. All in all, it was a wonderful journey of learning and I would highly recommend it.

Choosing to do my 200 YTT at Rishikesh Yogkulam has got to be the best decision i've ever made for myself. It was a life changing, transformative 25 days for me and I felt so happy and at peace being there. All the meals provided were delicious and the amenities were simple but great! (Heater + WIFI + aircon (extra charges) + filtered water + weekly room cleaning service + weekly towel change) I felt very comfortable during my stay in Rishikesh Yogkulam. All the teachers were amazing (Shout out to Master D, Jitu Ji & Pankaj Ji 🤍). They took great care of us, generously sharing their knowledge with us, naturing us in becoming better everyday, they're funny, kind and they have the biggest heart ever! 10/10 would recommend Rishikesh Yogkulam to anyone who's in search for a good YTT school in Rishikesh!

Without words, I will be forever grateful to have found this new family. The dedication of the teachers, the knowledge, the love they gave us during this month was something genuine and honest. I leave with a lot of knowledge, I finally found what I was looking for. Thanks, I will definitely come back to do 300 hours with them. Namaste 🙏

My training experience at Rishikesh Yogkulam was absolutely amazing, the program was well scheduled and the excursions were cherry on cake. Having a outing day once in a week to holistic and calm places made us delighted and joyful. I made a lot of friends during my stay and soon I'll be back to complete my 300 hour YTTC. The anatomy and philosophy classes were favourite of most students and Amit ji explained everything really well. I never knew yoga this deeply before and I'm excited to explore my knowledge to further limits ☺ Thanks again to all the amazing teachers and people around, I highly recommend Rishikesh Yogkulam to everyone. Sending lots of wishes✨ ❤️

I had a great experience at Rishikesh Yogkulam school, and I'm so glad I decided to do my 200h Yoga Teacher Training there. When i decided to come here, i wasnt sure how intense the course would be or if I would even be able to keep up with the pace. But once i started, I felt I was in really good hands and my mind slowly opened up to new possibilties. It was amazing to experience how much I was able to improve in just a few weeks. The teachers really help to push and believe in yourself and they try to treat everyone individually according to their abilities. They are very knowledgeable and you can see that they really love what they do. I really loved that in the freetime - especially in the evenings, the teachers would usually be around to answer questions or just share some laughs and play games with us. That and my colleagues made me feel like I was part of a Yogi family! Every sunday is a day off, where in the mornings the school will organise an exkursion e.g swimming at a waterfall or seeing the sunrise at a temple. Besides the classes and teachers of course, food is also important—I loved all of the food I got here! It was very delicious, versatile, and everyone working in the kitchen is great. If you have any allergies or diet requirements, let them know beforehand so they can arrange it accordingly I want to thank everyone at Yogkulam for this great experience ❤️ and i can highly recommend the school to anyone ❤️❤️

I recently finished my 200 YTTC from Rishikesh Yogkulam, Definitely I highly recommend this yoga school, the teachers are very good, jitu ji, panku ji with a very humble and good in asana class, wonderful experience with Mandeep ji, Deepa ji and all the other respected teachers. The staff is so humble and helpful. They really good take care of yourself accommodation and food. Really tasty food. Thanks to all of you to make my journey so beautiful. Highly recommend this yoga school.

It is hard to put into words how wonderful of a time I had during the training. The teachers, the dorms, the food, the atmosphere. If you’re looking for a great training program, this is it! Highly Recommend 10/10
