    What an amazing experience this has been ! I almost can’t believe just a couple of weeks i was there 💛 I had chosen Devvrat’s YTT among others for a couple of reasons: First the teacher training was directed to Hatha and Ashtanga that in my personal opinion are the basis for any kind of yoga you want to practice or teach. Second: i found the website very informative - some of the study material is RIGHT THERE so that should help you ( A LOT ) to realize if you really want to go into this exhaustive but fulfiller training. Third: in the website you also find a suggestion of having a prior to arrive weekly yoga practice (6 months at least) and i found this SUPER IMPORTANT … there is a lot of schools and teachers out there and even if you will not have this practice you still can experience and do it but the truth is that ONE MONTH WILL FLY! And you will see what you can learn is just the top of the iceberg… so my recommendation will be to have a yoga background and then BE PRESENT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Clases are in a relax environment but pay attention because is a lot of info! I can’t compare with other teacher training because is my first (hopefully my next one will be 300 hs 💪🏼🙏🏻 At Devvrat too) but i am very satisfied with what i have learned. Fourth: the benefit of having accomodation and food included is not a mi or detail… specially when you practice 4 hours yoga a day 😅 Another of my reasons to choose this training was location and weather 💛☀️ It was mg first time in India (not my last one DEFINITELY ) and must say was exactly what i though it will be … keep in mind please that India is a very different surrounding compare with occident and if you fi d hard to get out of your confort zone i think THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU 😂 most of the places have no warm water but honestly with 35 celcius WHO NEEDS WARM WATER. Most important that teachers are open, people is helpful and at Devvrat you will experience delicious Indian food EVERY DAY 💛 Varkala beach is very cute, beautiful beach, surfing for those who surf, ayurveda for those into it, massage, and very affordable and food here is a MUST to experience And tons of fresh juices EVERYWHERE. For me this month i took to be there was one of the most amazing i had in my life. Can’t wait to be back. Wishing all of you who decided to stay here a great time as i had 💛 i am sure you will not regret it 🥰

    I researched a fair bit before deciding to come to Varkala and Devvrat yoga for my 200 hrs TTC. The teachers were wonderful especially Abhishek for Ashtanga, Jadoo for philosophy and Jaimini for art of teaching. The course is tough and rewarding. All of us stud eta became one big family. Come here for a complete yoga experience.

    Devvrat Yoga Sangha is THE best place to do TTC. The food and accommodation are amazing. The teachers are experienced and dedicated. I not only had an epic experience while learning yoga and meditation, but also made lovely friends. I will always cherish the time spent with Devvrat and the team at Devvrat Yoga Sangha.

    I did a lot of research before choosing a school and when I arrived I was warmly welcomed and knew I was in the right place. The approach Devvrat takes to provide students with an experience supported by dedicated and knowledgeable teachers and an environment that is conducive to learning! We were given with 3 healthy, wholesome, tasty meals a day. The yoga shala is beautiful, lots of plants, greenery and the rooms are very comfortable. Super important when you are practising and learning for almost 8 hours a day. The weekly schedule is well organised and there is down time to unwind /study, take a walk on the beach which is very close! They also include a field trip as part of the course. The asana classes and the positive and encouraging teachers have been life and body changing. During the asana classes you get the opportunity to develop your own practice and get a thorough hands on teaching experience. The theory classes are eye opening, there is also a wealth of immensely insightful information on the the website which you can use to prepare before coming and during the month of learning. My stay and TTC here has been a pivotal moment in my life and I would not hesitate to come to this school for the yoga TTC 🙏🏾

    My experience at Devvrat school was amazing. Incredible experience. Highly qualified teachers who became good friends. I recommend the school for several reasons, but mainly for me it was the attention of the teachers in meeting each one according to their needs. I learned so much in such a short time. Even though I have finished the course, I continue to attend classes to further my studies.

    Wow ! I couldn’t have chosen a better community to do my first teacher training! This last month has been memorable- Devvrat, Annette and Jadu have been the best Gurus we could have asked for. The 3 of them are highly passionate and so good at sharing their knowledge! I really felt like we were a big family ! The size of the group was optimal (15 people) - the food was very fresh and tasty (very easy to follow a vegan, gluten free diet). The rooms are simple but there is everything you need. Also very nice to be so close to the ocean- easy to go for a quick swim in between two classes. The end of our 200h training but the beginning of a new chapter ! Thanks again Devvrat and team !

    Taking 200h YTTC at Devvrat Yoga Sangha was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Immersed myself in Yoga and nature in Varkara for a month was pure joy for me. Their accommodation and facilities are nice especially people work at are very kind and helpful. I also loved the food so much! Shala is located on the uppermost floor, it’s surrounded by trees and sound of nature all day. I did enjoy the practice Ashtanga with Devvrat. His way of teaching Ashtanga has helped a lot with my learning. It’s very precise, strict, encouraging and inspiring. Hatha yoga with Annette, starting the day with her Hatha yoga has brought me a peace of mind every day. The Hatha yoga classes are well structured step by step along with art of teaching and Ashtanga yoga class curriculum. Learning Anatomy and philosophy with Jaddu was very interesting. Listening his life experiences and knowledge kept me amazed each class. I am very grateful for this unforgettable experience, teachers and my yoga family. Looking forward to joining the 300h YTTC in the future! Thank you 😊🙏🏻🧡💛

    I participated in the teacher training in December last year and I highly recommend that place. I learned to much from Devvrat and the other teachers, the Ayurvedic food is served 3 times a day and was incredible delicious and the whole staff especially Dhivya made my stay so full of positive energy. Thank you guys for this inspiring time with you.

    What an amazing transformation I had with the amazing team at Devvrat Yoga Sangha. I arrived very unwell both physically and in mind which made it a challenging experience in which I ended up flourishing in resilience and strength, I feel stronger, healthier and happier as a person. The team are so supportive, the food is great, the classes are excellent and I’ve made friends there for life. I couldn’t fault my experience. I hope to revisit someday as it really grew to feel like a second home. Varkala feels very safe as a woman arriving alone and it is surrounded by abundant nature! I whole heartedly recommend and support Devvrat Yoga Sangha.

    I enjoyed every single day of my 200h yoga teacher training at Devvrat Yoga Sangha. The teachers are incredibly knowledgable and make you go to your limits while at the same time showing gentleness and compassion. The way that the schedule is put together helps both the mind and the body to grasp what yoga is all about. Besides the teaching, I also enjoyed the place itself: The Ayurvedic food was tasty and supported the physical practice, the rooms are simple and nice and the yoga shalas are well equipped and beautifully decorated. Again, big thanks to the whole team, I hope to come back one day.

    After long researching what could be the best choice around Varkala, I found Devvrat Yoga Sangha to be the best mix for my starting journey. I was able to learn so much in all senses, and have got as of now a great context to start and keep on going with my own journey. It has met my expectations and beyond and i am very grateful for the opportunity and that i have chosen this amazing school. Aurvedy is rather on the short side, I wish it could have been either nore interactive or instead more pranayama session ( but that is my personal note) Teachers were all amazing, staff as well, and not to talk about all the delicious food. Thanks and see you soon, Namaste!

    It’s hard to put into words how good this experience was. All staff were such pure delightful people. I highly recommend undergoing a TTC training at Devvrat Yoga Sangha. The teaching is thorough in an open and comfortable approach. The practice is intense but rewarding. The accommodation was not exactly as I had seen online but nonetheless nothing to complain about. Food was fresh, rich in flavor and filled with variety. Looking forward to come back

    Absolutely amazing place. Kind, honest, knowledgeable, empathetic and fun teachers that made my TTC (300hrs) the most special time of my life and who let me grow to become a teacher exactly as I am, being able to be 100% vulnerable and true, feeling accepted and Herd at all times. The most wonderful place to do a yoga teacher training in my opinion and experience. The food was excellent, every single meal on every day! Made with lots of love and passion, perfect for the yoga practice and very nourishing for mind, soul and body. I can and would recommend this place to everyone I know and care about. Thanks to the Devvrat Yoga sangha for making this experience such an amazing one in my life!

    It was a nice experience with Devrrat yoga . I had attended yoga TTC during Jan 2022, the Teacher Devrrat was a quite experience person . He taught us Ashtanga yoga , he is equally specialized in Hatha, as well. He has got an excellent skill set, very dedicated, very punctual and has got lots of positive energy. The quality of training and teaching skills were exceptional. The Philosophy/Anatomy/Meditation teachers were also knowledgeable. All the teachers helped us to correct the Asanas during the practice and encouraged us to try our best possible for body flexibility limit. Devvrat yoga changed my view of yoga learning. It’s really worth attending this yoga training. And I would like to mention that the food & accommodation was nice in Varkkala. Location was quite attractive due to the beautiful beach around just 200 meters away 😊.

    What an amazing training! Devvrat is an extremely well informed teacher that knows so much about almost anything to do with yoga, I had so many questions answered and i felt everything he taught came from a place of truth and authenticity. Jadu's philosophy was beautifully he done, he brought a life of wisdom contemplation and life experiences to the topics discussed and I felt this really enriched my time on the course. Vijiths hatha classes were probably some of my favourite yoga sequences ever. My body always felt so amazing every morning and his energy was pure and lovely. The food was so good! I love Indian food but this was so fresh light and healthy, home style cooking! Overall the best yoga training i have ever done. Thank you so much!

    My first yoga experience was at Devvrat! What a memorable time I have had here. Great teachers who who each had an interesting personality of their own. If I could relivw this course over again I would not think twice about it. Thank you Devvrat and all the other great people making the course as it is.

    I attended the 2-day Ashtanga yoga workshop led by Devvrat and would recommend his classes to everyone with proper experience. He gave a detailed guidance and explanations with a focus on correct breathing. It helped a lot to practice in a conscious manner leading to better results after just one day! In-depth knowledge of asanas and alignment Devvrat shared with us is very valuable for both self-training and training others. Thanks a lot again for an unforgettable experience! 🙏

    Best 28 days of my life (and I was 47 years old at the time of the TTC in Dec 2019). Devvrat and the team were all equally very amazing souls to connect with during this course. Each with their very unique method of teaching in a manner that just keeps you wanting for more. The course itself is very intensive, and you are expected to learn much, but then that is why you are there in the first place. The Yoga-shalla itself was an experience to live in with students from all over the world, from different walks of life, backgrounds, religions and age ranges. Varkala Cliff and Heli-pad area was also a magnificent setting, and place to call home for the month. Lots to do every evening, places to visit on weekends, and easy to travel to other parts of South India after the course itself. A bit like Goa, but smaller, friendlier and a lot cheaper to eat and drink, and the local people are so very welcoming. You must try the smaller family run restaurants off the main tourist trails. If you considering a truly memorable life experience - give this a go, you will not regret it.
