    Vinyasa YogaShala is a great choice of school for your 200hour Teacher Training! *The School; Building and Surrounds* The school is located in a quiet location up a slight hill, away from the main road (there were many schools around. Though I’m very happy I chose Vinyasa Yogashala. It felt very authentic and genuine) Also the fact that it was away from the main road is a huge plus as it’s not noisy. There are also several cafes near by to go have chai, food, study or chill with the other students. You also have the mountains as a backdrop and you can watch the sunrise just before your first yoga class of the day which is so magical!! The main common area was the dining area, though it wasn’t exactly Great for chilling. There were lots of books you could borrow if you wanted to do extra reading The yoga room was very nice. Fully equipped, well lit, well ventilated and spacious. I used to go there to study sometimes during free time when I didn’t want to stay in my room. *The Rooms* Clean and spacious. I had a room to myself which I highly recommend!! (You are so tired sometimes and you need some alone time) I was given a blanket and pillows. Though you need to bring your own towel. *The Team* The teachers and support team are what make this school great. They are such lovely and genuine people. They were really there to help you, support you, guide you and just wanted to share the knowledge that they have. It never felt like a money grabbing scheme, it felt authentic and like you were part of a yoga family. The conversations we had inside and outside of class were really motivating, inspiring and changed many aspects of my thinking for the better. And of course some of the chats were light hearted, funny, friendly and made me feel so so happy and content. *The Classes* We learnt Vinyasa (morning) and Hatha (afternoon) Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Anatomy, Yoga Philosophy Yoga Alignment (for 2 weeks), Mantra Chanting (for one week) , Teaching Methodology (last week). At first when you see the timetable you think you have lots of free time. I would recommend using that time in the first week to explore Rishikesh, (markets, cafe, get some massages, there’s also a secret waterfall up the hill). After that, for the second and third week you’ll be using that time to rest, recover, study and read. *The Excursions* The school was extremely clever in giving us our day off on Wednesdays instead of busy Sundays/Weekends. We had the most amazing excursions, which really did make the whole experience more special. Great bonding for students and teachers, laughs had and great memories made. We also had some beautiful ceremonies some evenings at school which were splendid! *The Food* The food was okay/good. The breakfasts were delicious and varied. The lunches and dinners at times would seem repetitive just having rice roti dhal and a mix veg. However when you’d feel tired of the food there are lots of lovely cafes around to explore. However I generally ate at school most days as the food was light and you didn’t want to be eating heavy oily and too spicy food before and after yoga classes. *Overall* Choosing a yoga school was very overwhelming and daunting! So I suppose the best thing you can do is read the reviews. If you’re reading this review, I recommend you book this school. They will give you your moneys worth for 200 hours in Rishikesh. And as mentioned earlier the whole team is so lovely and caring. Also our class wasn’t too big (which I think is very important! I wouldn’t chose a school where there are more than 15 students) (Do note, you will feel like 200 hours is not enough and too short. This is just the beginning of the journey. The school is just giving you the tools to help you. The actual hard work starts after, going out to practice teaching small groups/ family members, learning more from other teachers, reading more books. There’s so much one cannot cover in just 200hours so we need to continue the learning)

    I have finished my 200h YTT in Vinyasa Yogashala and I loved it! I loved all the teachers and classes. It was very challenging from time to time, but that is deffinitely part of the journey there! You learn a lot about yourself, your body and your mind. It has deffinitely changed my life for better, now I just have to keep doing all these practices in my everyday life 🙏🏼 One things that I would mention was the food, I know that many of us were a little bit sick from the food there ( I think it was mainly because it was very watery all the time, but I am not so sure ) Also every week we would just have the same variations of food, which got a bit boring after some time, some of us also missed some protein so we used protein powders etc. We ended up going out quite often then. Other than that the school was really great and I cannot wait to come back for my 300h YTT 🙏🏼 Forever grateful for this journey Thank you Vinyasa Yogashala Ji 💙

    This experience has been life changing! I enrolled for the 200hr YTT, I've book via bookingretreats and everything worked just fine! They coordinate pick up from the airport to the school! They arrange all the daily meals and the classes are just full of knowledge! From philosophy to meditation, from anatomy class to pranayama and asana practices all of the teachers have so much to share. The trip to the Himalayas was a dream come true! I've met so many wonderful people that now call friends, I'm deeply greatful to all for being part of my yoga journey!

    I’m forever grateful for vinyasa Yogashala, for the incredible teachers I have met and for transforming my lifestyle. The 200 Hr TTC course was eye-opening for me in many ways, a journey back to my culture and roots, that I’m more proud of today than I ever was. Thank you making my journey memorable with good food and good people around. (I still dearly miss our 5.45 hatha yoga classes)

    The best school in Rishikesh In the heart of Rishikesh I went on an adventurous journey during a 500-hour yoga teacher seminar (01.12.23 to 28.01.24). Surrounded by the tranquil Ganges and the majestic foothills of the Himalayas, the intensive experience offered a deep insight into yoga philosophy, asanas, breathing techniques, therapy techniques, meditation practices. Experienced trainers led us through intensive training sessions, promoting not only physical strength but also spiritual growth. The tranquil atmosphere of the yoga school and vegetarian meals complemented the holistic retreat and created a profound environment for self-discovery. This seminar in Rishikesh was a fantastic odyssey that equipped me with a new understanding and knowledge about yoga. Hariom

    Choosing this school was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life! I came to Rishikesh for the first time and I am so grateful that I’ve found this school. The 200RYT yoga course was brilliant and I’ve learned so much within such a short period of time. We had 7 different subjects each day from Monday- Saturday (half day). Each subject was different and new to me and I enjoyed each of them. It’s not only theory. You get to do a lot of practical side of yoga, including pranayama cleansing practices! It was a great experience to learn Hatha yoga in such an authentic way. We leaned some Sanskrit words, too! The course schedule was quite intense but we always had morning and afternoon breaks. It was so nice to sit in the sun and enjoy relaxing (self-study time). When I got sick, my lovely room mates looked after me as well as school gave me medicine. So I never felt lonely here. I was pretty tired towards the end of the course but once you’re here, time flies so quickly. I can’t believe that I’m already attending the final ceremony in a couple of days with all the knowledge and skills I’ve learned in the last three weeks! I think it’ll take me months to process all the things I’ve learned throughout the course and my journey only begins once I complete this course. The content of the course was very interesting, as you can apply the knowledge and skills to your daily life. It was also quite deep so it was a little overwhelming for me and some others at the beginning. That’s why you have amazing teachers supporting you and you get to go through this 25-day program with a bunch of awesome people from all over the world! You become very close to your class mates as you go through the same experience and a journey towards each individual’s goals. The school is very organised, the staff here are all very kind and respectful to each other, the school is clean and even the street outside the school is cleaner than any other streets in Rishikesh. The food that they serve daily (3 meals/day) is very delicious and nutritious! There are variety of curries, soup, rice dishes and they also make special pancakes, pasta dishes and vege dishes depends on the day. They also provide special dietary requirements for those who need. I never get bored of the food here. There are filtered water tanks at school and you are able to get fresh water whenever you need. I’m so grateful for the time here, for the people I’ve spent the last 3 weeks with, and for the amazing teachers and kitchen staff. Thank you to all of them. I hope you can experience this awesome 25-day program one day in your own journey.

    From a very young age, I suffered obesity issues and I was a victim of bullying from the time when I was just 5 years old. Other than this my life was quite easy throughout and I didn't think of the requirement to lose weight or think otherwise. Yoga came as a blessing to my life in the year 2023 when I was traveling to India and found Vinyasa Yogashala. I went to the school just to have a look and till the point I entered their premises I had no intention to start yoga. As I discussed my issue the way they advised me and talked to me I was convinced to at least give it a try here. My yoga journey started with one of the best and continues. Their faculty is one of the best people I have met. Ashish Ji is someone whom I will always look up to for his patience and the way he conducts himself and definitely for his amazing teaching style. The next person who I have to mention is none other than Tanushree Ji who takes care of each one learning here nearly on a personal level. It's because of her encouragement that today I am. Sadhu Ji, Shivam Ji, Vikas Ji, Aman Ji, Rahul Ji are also amazing people I have met. The Ambience, food, and stay are so beautiful there that I must travel each year once and spend a week or two here. Vinyasa Yogashala is nothing but a family to me and one of the best places to start your yoga journey from. This is one such place which I would highly recommend and the best thing about this place is their unique teaching style. Namaste 🙏

    I recently had the pleasure of attending the 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) Course at Vinyasa Yogshala, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. This yoga school truly exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comprehensive and transformative yoga teacher training program. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff. The instructors at Vinyasa Yogshala are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about yoga. Their expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire course, and they created a supportive and inspiring learning environment. The curriculum of the 200-Hour RYT course was well-structured and covered all aspects of yoga in great depth. We delved into various yoga styles, including Vinyasa, Hatha, and Ashtanga, allowing us to develop a well-rounded understanding of different practices. The course also incorporated meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on alignment and adjustments, as it greatly enhanced my teaching skills. The practical sessions were thoughtfully designed, ensuring we had ample opportunities to practice and refine our yoga poses and sequences. The instructors provided personalized attention and guidance, helping me deepen my practice and improve my alignment. The inclusion of teaching practicums was invaluable, as they allowed us to gain confidence and experience in leading a class. One aspect that sets Vinyasa Yogshala apart is their commitment to creating a supportive community. The fellow students I met during the course became like family, and we supported and encouraged each other throughout the journey. The school also organized group activities and outings, fostering a sense of camaraderie and making the learning experience even more enjoyable. The facilities at Vinyasa Yogshala were excellent. The yoga shala was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with props. The accommodation provided was comfortable and offered a peaceful retreat after intense training sessions. The staff ensured our needs were met, and they were always available to address any concerns or questions we had. Furthermore, Vinyasa Yogshala's commitment to ethical and sustainable practices was admirable. They incorporated eco-friendly initiatives into their daily operations, promoting a mindful approach to yoga and life. This resonated deeply with me and further added to the overall positive experience. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Vinyasa Yogshala's 200-Hour RYT Course enough. Whether you are looking to deepen your personal practice or pursue a career as a yoga teacher, this program will equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence. The instructors are exceptional, the curriculum is comprehensive, and the sense of community is unparalleled. Attending this course at Vinyasa Yogshala was a transformative experience, and I am immensely grateful for the knowledge and growth I gained

    I had a very good experience learning 200 hour YTT course from Vinyasa Yogashala. I was part of Feb 2023 batch. All the teachers are well qualified and they know it very well how to deliver the knowledge. Food was awesome, everytime they try to provide us with different varieties of food. Kitchen staff was very helpful. Support staff was always available for any issues related to yoga, room facilities etc. I would recommend this school for 200 and 300 YTT courses.

    During my stay in India, I wanted to learn more about Yoga, beyond just practicing asanas. Spontaneously, I decided to take a TTC in Rishikesh. Based on a recommendation and the many positive reviews, I chose Vinyasa Yogashala, and the reviews were not fake. I am very satisfied with my choice. The school is quite large, spread across four buildings, which makes them well-versed in organizing such courses. The response time is relatively quick, and everything from airport pickup to meals and excursions is well-coordinated and organized. Despite the school's size, I always felt like part of a family and received support. My group was relatively small, with 11-15 participants, which was just the right size. The course serves as a good introduction to "Yoga," providing a first glimpse into different yoga styles and the knowledge surrounding them. Afterward, it's up to you to dive deeper and practice. My teachers were all great, and I learned a lot from them. They also emphasized that they are continually learning, which I found charming. The rooms are okay, not luxurious, but my room had a nice view, and I felt comfortable after a bit of adjustment. It can be quite noisy in Tapovan due to ongoing construction and honking, dogs and cows, so earplugs are a must for some restful sleep. The food is freshly cooked local Indian food. It was always tasty and diverse. I can't eat garlic, and they accommodated my request and took care of it. Ravi Ji takes care of the organization. He is always in a good mood, and you can ask him all your questions. He'll eventually take care of them! :) I’m joking. When something urgent arises, they don't wait slowly (India-style), but act immediately. I had to see a dentist, and other participants had to visit various doctors. They took us there right away and accompanied us during the process. If I ever want to do a 300-hour course, I would come back.

    Hello everyone. I began my first day here by stating that I am new to yoga and eventually these fantastic two weeks have played an important role in shaping myself. I can reassure myself that I will return mhome with a bunch of memories, lessons and a lot more clarity about life. I've always wanted to learn more about yoga in order to understand my body better and find a method to balance my way of life. I want to express my gratitude to Vinyasa Yogashala for assisting me in this journey and guiding me throughout the past two weeks. I'm pleased with how well my body has adjusted to the shift, and this practise has made a significant improvement. Hats off to the instructors and other support staff . They deserve a lot of credit for making this retreat the best it can be. Additionally, I want to draw attention to the diet that is being practised here. One of the healthiest and most neutral diets that is suitable for your body while exercising. I couldn't have started my yoga journey at a finer school. Overall, I had a great time here and would enthusiastically suggest Vinyasa Yogashala to anyone. Thank you Vinyasa Yogashala

    Namaste! Making a decision might be very overwhelming when looking at the variety of yoga schools for YTTC in Rishikesh. However, choosing Vinyasa Yogashala was the perfect decision for me. It was a dream come true to receive the best yoga education and to experience the energy of so many yogis. The teachers at Vinyasa Yogashala have a wealth of experience and are all genuinely enthusiastic about yoga and the subject. So, if you have an inquisitive mind and pay close attention, you will learn a lot from them. After practising yoga asana for a few months, Vinyasa Yogashala was the place where I finally understood the postures and their proper alignment. In addition, I was able to expand my knowledge of pranayama and meditation, as well as gain a philosophical foundation that provided me with a holistic view of yoga. The course assisted me in gaining a better grasp of yoga. I really liked the schedule because it covered all the important subjects. The management takes a keen interest and makes an effort to develop workable solutions for everyone. One is treated like a member of a family while at Vinyasa Yogashala, which makes it extremely easy to feel at home. The meals are delicious and freshly cooked, and they form the foundation for the long days ahead. We were given clean rooms with innumerable amenities, making it a comprehensive package. Since the school is situated in a peaceful area of Tapovan, people can stroll nearby, take in the scenery, and breathe some fresh air. I was sceptical at first, but I am glad I decided to take the course at Vinyasa Yogashala. It transformed my perspective on life and helped me become more balanced. I would recommend it to anyone trying to gain a thorough understanding of yoga. This is an excellent place for aspiring yoga instructors.

    Namaste 🙏 I've completed my 200 hours teacher training course at Vinyasa Yogashala. To begin with, searching for a good yoga institute is a daunting task. I'm super glad that I chose Vinyasa Yogashala - it is undoubtedly one of the best yoga institutes in Rishikesh. Period. I was awestruck by the sheer hardwork and sincerity by the staff and faculty to make you feel home and comfortable from day one. The teachers are really knowledgeable and are subject matter experts in their respective fields. Food was delicious and apt for yoga practice. The course was nicely balanced including theory and practicals with enough emphasis on teaching methodology. During our day offs, weekend excursions and fun events were organized, which really rejuvenated the mind and induced a sense of camaraderie among students. I would highly recommend Vinyasa Yogashala. Definitely coming back again in future for 300 hour course. Thanks! 🙂

    A life changing experience to live. Teachers are amazing, highly professional and knowledgeable. If you are planning to create a discipline in your life with yoga, this is the place to be. The food is fully vegetarian and healthy with variety of meals. The institute is run by a family so you feel that in every step of your journey in the course, you have someone to take care of you. The accommodation is clean, hygienic and the cleaning service happens everyday, laundry service is also there in case you need.

    Had an unbelievable time here at Vinyasa Yogashala for the 200HR YTT program in January 2024. The teaching is first class, they’re all incredibly knowledgable, passionate and just really caring people. I learned so much here in the 24 days, I’ve not really fully processed it yet. My group were incredible and was lucky enough to do this course with my wife as well. The food was amazing & there was a nice variety each day! Thank you to Abishek & Priyanka for all the work they are doing around the place. Always there to help us when we needed things sorted, such as maintenance or excursions etc. Thank you to all at Vinyasa Yogashala for this special opportunity. I’m so thankful I was able to spend this time here. Namaste 🙏🏻

    I spent this month at Vinyassa Yogashala completing 200 hour teacher training course. My experience was very positive. The syllabus for the course in well put together, and I took a lot of knowledge on board from each teacher. They are masters in their trade and all very different, in their own wonderful way. My stay here was very humbling and my heart received plenty of love. I'm very greatful I chose this school and would recommend it to anyone wanting to extend their yoga knowledge further. Thank you all at Yogashala. Namaste. Magda 🙏

    Vinyasa Yogashala has incredibly knowledgeable and passionate teachers who were committed to my learning experience. I was grateful to have learnt from the following teachers: Deepak (Ashtanga), Deepak (Pranayama), Shivam (Anatomy), Jeet (Mantra & Vinyasa), Saddhuji (Philosophy), Aman (Hatha & Alignment), & Mahish (Meditation). Each of the teachers were humble and informative, imparting with us the authentic Indigenous principles of Yoga. I want to thank the kitchen for accommodating my dietary requirements for coeliac disease. Despite a few miscommunications at the beginning, Rohul Ji (School Manager) was very responsive to the situation and helped to communicate dishes that were safe for me to eat. I booked this course through Book Yoga Teacher Training, which described the course as including Yin Yoga teaching training. Unfortunately, we did not have the capacity to cover this in the course but this was not communicated to students. Additionally, the website states that students have access to an ayurvedic full body massage and emotional trauma healing session, however, you will only have the option to select one of these complementary. Something to be mindful of is that there are four Vinyasa Yogashala schools located in Rishikesh, so your accommodation may not be the same as those seen in pictures. However, the Nirvana Hall location still had good amenities. I would recommend that the school reviews and amends the information they have provided on this website and their own, as there are some inconsistencies with what is stated is included in the course and what actually is. Despite this, the overall experience during my time was above and beyond what I expected. The standard of knowledge and support provided by teachers was incredibly valuable in helping me start my journey through learning more about Yoga. Thank you Vinyasa Yogashala 🙏

    Namaste everyone🙏 My name is Avni and i did 200H TTC from vinyasa yogashala. This is my first time that i lived away from my family bt didn't felt lonely. All the members of Vinyasa Yogashala are so caring and loving that they will not let you feel lonely. All the teachers, management, kitchen staff, housekeeping staff are so kind, polite, patient, loving and caring that they will made you fall in love with their simplicity. I really want to thank Ravi Sir and Jeet Sir for taking care of us and also tolerating us so patiently🙏 Believe me after completing this course you won't want to go back from here. It was the most lovely experience for me. Also now i want to learn more about yoga as earlier i was only focusing on practical part i.e. asanas bt now i want to study more about yoga philosophy and anatomy. This course helped me to enjoy my yogic life. Now i am a proud member of Vinyasa Yogashala Family. Will surely come for 300H course soon to learn more. 🙏🙏🙏

    A fantastic experience !! ! It is hard work, but totally worth the time and effort you put in to it. All the teachers are amazing, they want you to do your best. Everyone here is so willing to help, no matter how small the problem is, whether it’s organising taxis because flights have been cancelled or just checking in to see how you are. Thank you to Rahul for making everything run so smoothly. The 200hours is tough, this is certainly not a yoga retreat or holiday. But the teachers are fantastic, they are all very knowledgeable, and take the time to help you improve in your own practice, as well as how to teach. They have also organised some great experiences, and rearranged them when they got cancelled during the monsoons. If you come in the monsoon season, expect rain. Also the food here has been excellent. I have really enjoyed my time here, and I am definitely considering coming back to do my 300hours.

    Best Yoga School in Rishikesh - Vinyasa Yogashala  I believe in traditions and love how cultured people in Rishikesh are. I am a big fan of Saatvik food, and no, this is not the only reason that motivated me to experience a yoga training program, but I am also a yoga fanatic. I have been teaching yoga for the last 6 years now, and every two years, I decide to join a course and learn new things that I can also teach to my students. This time, I took a 500-hour training course from Vinyasa Yogashala in Rishikesh. I had heard of this before and also wished to learn it from a reputed institute, and thanks to a friend’s suggestion, I ended up enrolling in it. I have almost completed the course, and here I am writing to you that you must must must attend this course and enhance your knowledge wealth. This course teaches you a lot, how to incorporate meditation into your daily lifestyle, what role it plays, and how it affects your overall persona. Back then, I never knew that this course could be so enriching. The teachers are grounded and don’t hesitate to spend extra minutes on you if you share your doubts and seek answers from them. Choosing Vinyasa Yogashala is so far a sensible decision, and now I can trust that as appealing and constructive as their courses are.

    I visited Vinyasa Yoga Shala in September and spent here very inspiring month full of fun. I learned a lot from very friendly, supporting and experienced teachers. Hatha, vinyasa and alignment classes helped me to move forward with my asana practice. An useful tip on how to do pincha mayurasana has stuck in my mind and I am doing much quicker progress now 😊. I also very much appreciated our pranayama class. I have never done pranayama before and now I was able to integrate it into my daily practise before meditation. I got used to getting up very yearly here and I can continue with this habit until now (even though not always so early 🙈). I loved our philosophy class and our nice teacher Sadhu with whom we had deep und fun discussions. In the anatomy class I learned much about ayurveda, doshas and how to use asanas to balance our body and mind. Food was delicious 😋 and you’ll find many nice cafes around if you cannot survive without a good coffee. No need to be afraid of mosquitos as there are mosquito nets in the windows 👍. I highly recommend this school where I might return for my 300 hour YTT because I simply cannot forget the perfect alignment of our super teacher Ashish 🧡.

    We stayed at Vinyasa Yogashala in January 2023 for a 100 hour course. All the time we really felt at home and the team was always very supportive and friendly. It's a family business and they did everything for us to have a great stay. The structure of the course includes a wide range of practical and theoretical content and gave us a sound overview. Their delicious vegan food had a beneficial effect and supported our mind-body balance very much. We met many kind and open-hearted people from all over the world there. We will keep only the best memories of this experience and feel very grateful to all at the school.

    Hari Om Tatsat. My name is Vanessa, and I am a certified yoga trainer from one of the best yoga school in Rishikesh. In March 2023, I completed my 200 hours of yoga teacher training from Vinyasa Yogashala, and now I have completed my online 300 hours of YTT Course from the same retreat centre in October 2023. There is a huge progress on their end. These guys are hardworking, and it shows in their overall improvement. Some of the changes were highly noticeable. Much appreciated. What impressed me the most about them was their teachers and their immense knowledge. They have no attitude or arrogance. Humble people, always ready to teach you. They clear your doubts even if you ask them multiple times. They target perfection, especially Ashish Ji. Guru Ji is an expert in Hatha Yoga. Learning from him is the greatest blessing. He is so good at explaining, and moreover, he will always correct you and go the extra mile to help you perform the right postures and maintain that balance. Although they do have some great online courses, I wanted to come and visit the place in person since I am also attached to it. My first ever training center. You can attend their online course just in case you are planning to start your journey. I recommend everyone to experience yoga training once in life, and if possible, then choose Rishikesh and Vinyasa Yogashala as your Yoga School. You will find it easy and manageable.

    I got my certification in a 200-hour course from one of the best yoga school in Rishikesh - VINYASA YOGASHALA. I enrolled for the course in September 2023, and I want to share an honest review of the yogashala. Everything is decent, starting from their staff, food, fun, and people, but what’s really empowering is their knowledge. Teachers are exceptionally smart and intelligent!!! When you interact with them or if you sit with them for a quick chat, they load you with so much information and philosophy that you will feel overwhelmed by their gestures. I have heard that sharing knowledge is the biggest gift you could offer to someone, and indeed, it is true here. My 200-hour course was power-packed with various classes and not at all boring. Even after some back-to-back classes, I used to feel energetic. I respect all my Gurus, but Deepak Ji, who teaches Pranayama, is my favourite teacher. He has a great hold on his practice; he is unstoppable. I also loved the yoga philosophy taught by Sadhu Ji. He is a gentle human being and extremely humble. So, yaaa, teachers are good, and everything is ten on ten. You will feel included, and they all will shower love on you no matter if you are in your own zone; they will still host you amazingly and respect your boundaries at the same time. Both their offline and online courses are highly recommended.

    If your practice is feeling a bit stagnant, Vinyasa Yogashala is the perfect place to reignite your passion for yoga. With experienced instructors and an open atmosphere, this yoga school provides an environment that promotes growth and self-discovery. In addition, I noticed one amazing thing about this Yogashala: they are not only limited to teachings but also take you on tour in and around Rishikesh. The classes are challenging but accessible, allowing you to take your practice to the next level. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, Vinyasa has something for everyone. The beautiful decor and calming energy make it the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day; even the food is delicious. You'll feel welcomed and at home when you step through the doors. With its commitment to providing high-quality instruction and creating an inclusive space, Vinyasa Yogashala is the perfect place to deepen your yoga practice. At least it was for me <3

    I ve just completed my 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training Course from Vinyasas Yogashala and I wanted to thank all the efforts and assistance provided by all the management teams and amazing Teachers who are highly knowledgeable, supportive, friendly and encouraging throughout the entire course. Very interesting things was that we got to learn not only Yoga Asanas but much more than that like history and philosophy of Yoga, anatomy, meditation and pranayama which plays very important role in our day to daily life. And also got good opportunities to meet with beautiful people across the world and learned a lots from each and every students. More importantly I learned many new things about myself and got a chance to connect with my inner self. Accommodation was very comfortable, food was delicious and all the management team was very friendly, caring and attentive. I would like to recommend Vinyasa Yogashala ( The Best) to all those beautiful people who are interested and looking forward to learn yoga. Once again big THANKS Vinyasa Yogashala..🙏🏻🙏🏻

    I initially heard about Vinyasa yogashala from one of my friends and had considered doing the 200hr YTTC from the same. They had been so easy to work with since the beginning.... From replying to emails quickly to answering your questions to most importantly wanting to help you in all the ways possible. I din't have the need to stress about anything since my arrival. They had just been treating all of us like their guests (more like family ❤️) since the pickup from the airport and till even after the course had come to an end. Even though we had a hectic schedule of classes not once did I feel tired of attending them. The Teachers were really knowledgeable and would always help you with your doubts (even if the doubts are not subject related). The amount of information that we were receiving were overwhelming but worked better. The teacher-student relation I felt was so pure. The people that I met here unknowingly turned into family❤️. The bonds became really strong during my one month course that it was had to say goodbye. The food and accommodation for me was perfect as it created stronger bonds between the students. The food was also made specially for those who had few restrictions and the chef always attended to their needs. It was really nice to have all the students, the teachers, the founders and their family have the food at the same place. Have to specially mention Ravi ji and his entire team for the amazing management of the school. They were always there in order to help you whether it was to take someone to the hospital or to the post office or however small the work would be ... they would always arrange a way for you. Rishikesh and this school in specific means a lot to me and has given me a home away from home. If I consider doing my 300hr YTTC, I would definitely come back here. ✨
