Vinyasa Yoga Academy Reviews - What Our Students Say

Aman Kumar Mohanta

Very thankful for the experience and the learning that I received here. I used to practice Yoga by myself, but after coming here I could correct many things that I had no idea I was doing wrong. Everyday was fulfilling and a bit tiring, but satisfying.

Vasile Bucuresteanu

I found the program to be a wonderful mix of yoga philosophy and asana which helped me to strengthen my own practice, provided me with the confidence to teach and bring yoga philosophy into my daily life. If you've had this dream [becoming a yoga teacher] then I encourage you to enrol as well - I am glad I did. Namaste.

Amei a experiência! Os professores são incríveis, a comida é deliciosa, me senti em casa e acolhida. O local é silencioso, perto das montanhas, e apenas 10 a 15 minutos de caminhada até o Ganges.

Inka Immonen

I did my YTT200 H at Vinyasa Yoga Academy - the place with authentic approach to teaching Yoga. Beautiful views and calm environment in the middle of busy Rishikesh. Even tough it may be hard to live Yogic Life for 28 days, the school try to make adjustments for the students to feel good and to make everyone feel comfortable. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I had wonderful experience in this school. The teachers were good. I really liked the classes, teachers and my good classmates. They staff had responsibility and they were so kind.I was sick and they brought me to the hospital, Also i enjoyed the food. the quality was good. The most important thing that the school was very clean and they have a good laundry which you can wash your own clothes by yourself and free. All of the staff was so sweet and kind. I had great time in here and I will miss here too much.

Miguel Brito

Hi, greetings to everyone I am Miguel from Ecuador and I would like to highly recommend this School for many reasons, the common ones like the teaching, accommodation (it is located in a silent place up hill), food (good for your health), but, for me the main feature is the way they treat you as a human being which is the essence of yoga, I love the persons in charge of Vinyasa Yoga Academy who helped me unconditionally, from the bottom of my heart thanks to Suraj, Arun, Monica, Alok, Vishnu and all the rest.

It was amazing experience study in that place

Canyigit

I had the opportunity to experience 15 days 100 hours Teachers training course at Vinyasa Yoga Academy at Rishikesh second half of February 2017. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. We were fılled with possitive energy from the beggining. The food was delicious.Their chef was so friendly, Housekeeper boy and receptionists were very helpfull. I improved my meditation and pranayama techniques a lot because of our dear teacher Rana Ji. Meditation was boring for me untill I met RanaJi.

Pinkberry Ang

Residential TTC in Rishikesh I have just completed my one month TTC with the school, it was a great experience. I love the surroundning here with Himalayas and Ganga River. The Teacher team are so specilaize into the subject. I have learnt the knowledge which will be useful for my life.

Louise Jorgensen

I came here with no expectations and not much experience, now I'm leaving, in this month I've really improved my own postures. Learned much more about yoga, the lifestyle and how to be a teacher. Great academy, new friendships and really good teachers. Highly recommended

Jen Manning

My experience with the Vinyasa Yoga Academy was very good. The accommodations were nice and comfortable and the school staff was very friendly and helpful. The teachers were very knowledgeable of all the aspects of yoga and broke things down in a way that made it easy for us to understand.

himani Lingwal

Amazing experience with teacher. I love the style and the teaching of all the teachers very much. The food was delicious #satvik .The location of the school is amidst the hills. I would recommend to all of you that you come here and definitely learn . thank you 😇🙏

Alexia Laurenti

Wonderful teachers who really care about their students. The quality of the classes is really good, but was I enjoyed most is the pedagogical approach and how interactive the sessions were. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ! Wishing you all the best :)

sandip trivedi

Very nice and beautiful yoga school for YTT, vishnu guruji is very humble and extremely knowledge person. He explains pranayam and yoga theory very nicely. All other teachers are also supportive. I am really enjoying this cource.

Sarah Severn Make-up

This experience was like no other. I'm a true believer in you can take what you give in. Give yourself the time and the open mind and you will be delighted. The authenticity and openness was my favourite value about this course. Thank you Guru Ji, teachers, and everybody behind the scenes for your open hearts and knowledge shared with us.

Paulina Axelsson Rather

Teatchers were all good and The small grouie of 11 students (off season) made it feel like family. Very good. Clean rooms, hot water 😊 Greate and very tasty food. Be aware of the monkeys, they can Open the Doors 🙈🤣

Kőváry Anett

The three weeks spent at the school exceeded all my expectations. I was not only impressed by the professional knowledge of the prepared and authentic teachers, but also by how much my image of yoga was transformed. I also learned a lot about myself, and I can say that I returned home a different person than I was when I arrived in Rishikesh.

D Sz

Very good overall, competent teachers, great atmosphere. The food was a bit plain, but I expected that because it had to be yogi food. The accommodation was a bit dirty, but I guess in Indian standards it was ok.

Isabel Q

I completed here my 200h YTT and it was the best possible experience. The teachers were so invested and real that I got to grasp the core and deep meaning of yoga. The school was amazing and could not be more beautiful surrounded by nature and silence. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in yoga.

Saimis St

Special, life changing and powerful experience!! The school has aura of real Yog. All the teachers lead all of the class with joy and passion, it was inspiring! Staff is very friendly and super helpful, shefs and food what they are making everyday super tasty! School is in an amazing place, with beautiful open views of mountains, full of birds and most important - away from all the Rishikesh noise, but at the same time very close by! Big thanks from the heart, it's the place to comeback, it's the place to grow and learn, it's home.

Messaoudene Messaoudene

his training and this journey truly changed my life. It shaped me into a completely different person. Through discipline, deep teachings, and the guidance of dedicated and caring teachers, I was able to grow in ways I never expected. The teachers are incredibly professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in each student’s progress. You don’t just learn you evolve. And I cannot forget Mr Vishnu Ji, our guru. He is an exceptional human being. I will never be able to thank him enough for his teachings, his wisdom, and the love he shares so generously.

Beautiful people in vinyasa yoga academy. Peacful environment . Good experience

sarah lowe

I am very thankful for my YTT experience at the Vinyasa yoga academy, it has really opened my eyes to what the practice of " yoga" really means.Our teachers all shared their knowledge and teachings in a unique and engaging way. The accommodation and teaching rooms where great & kept clean. My only complaint would be the food provided at the school, it wasn't to my personal taste but this is a very minor criticism. Thank you to all the staff & teachers for a wonderful experience !

Lakshya Pratap

I loved it over there, the yoga classes got me to know about myself more

Hanna Pekhart

I came across this school through my connection with the teachings and teachers, and I can truly feel the sincerity and dedication behind it. The approach is not only about physical practice, but also about deeper understanding and inner awareness. There is a strong sense of tradition combined with a grounded and practical way of teaching. Even through online learning, I experienced clarity, depth, and a genuine connection to the practice.

Tatjana Schwabauer

I completed the yoga nidra TTC 100 h online course and it was really a transformative journey. The teachings are very profound and the yoga nidra practice changed my life. I am integrating it to my classes, so it can benefit many other people. I really suggest the courses, the teachers are amazing, thank you!

Patricia Claman

The live classes of this 200-hour multi style teacher training were well done and very informative. They are a very important part of the program. They give the program a certain framework and students are able to ask questions and get clarifications immediately and clearly. The schedule I did find a bit confusing at the start, because of the detail of “Philosophy (only Saturday)”.

Lauren Letestu

Since one month, I started 200 hours Yoga Teacher training online, it was amazing ! I have not expected this course to be so broad, detailed and wonderfully prepared. Teacher are fantastic and the yoga philosophy class is mind blowing. I am really grateful to have been part of this. I hope soon I will be able to share my learning and start to give some Yoga classes. Thank you Ashu and Guriji for valuable and amazing knowledge ! I recommend this School to everyone !

Charu Thapa

I had an amazing experience during my 200-hour YTTC at Vinyasa Yoga Academy, Rishikesh. The classes were well-structured and easy to follow, making learning both enjoyable and comfortable. The teachers were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and always ready to help whenever needed. The school environment was peaceful, clean and perfect for deepening my yoga journey. The food was also absolutely delicious and nourishing which made the entire experience even more memorable.

Mathilde

My 200-hour yoga teacher training at Vinyasa Yoga Academy was such an incredible experience that truly went beyond what I expected. The program was complete and well-structured. All the teachers were highly professional and inspiring. The food was amazing, the staff were kind and helpful, and the place had a peaceful energy that made it even more special. If I had to mention one thing, I would have loved to have a bit more focus on alignment classes. But overall, for a first training, I honestly couldn't have dreamed of a better experience.

Irene V.

I recently completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training course in India, and it has been a truly transformative experience. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have taken part in such a comprehensive and enriching program. This course has significantly deepened my understanding of yoga—not just as a physical practice, but as a holistic lifestyle. I now have a much clearer perspective on the true essence of yoga. It goes far beyond asanas; it is a path that encompasses discipline, self-awareness, mindfulness, and inner peace.

Sandra Abrantes Diaz

I completed my 200-hour YTTC at Vinyasa Yoga Academy, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The teachers and all the staff were simply the best. The food was delicious, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the connection within our group made the experience even more special. I learned so much about yoga, both on and off the mat. I am deeply grateful for all the compassion, wisdom, and encouragement I received. I can highly recommend Vinyasa Yoga Academy to anyone looking for an authentic and transformative yoga journey!

Kaitlyn Majek

I had a wonderful experience studying yoga at vinyasa yoga academy. The staff is amazing and each teacher brings a unique personality and flair to the class, which keeps the long days interesting. The school is located at the top of a hill off a main road and is quiet. Our program was with 13 people and we all became great friends. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Célia Fauchier

Beautiful experience, great school and teachers. I'll definitely enroll in a longer program in the future to deepen my understanding and practice of yoga. Thanks to you all 🙏

Nupur Rathi

This school is the best in all aspects. It provides the best experience with well organised learning sessions in the most curated way possible. Every single day was well planned and helped me take crucial steps in my journey of yoga. Special thanks to the teachers and staff that made it possible.

shaween hussein

Attending the Vinyasa Yoga Academy for yoga teacher training was truly remarkable. The academy is situated in a perfect spot, close to shops yet surrounded by peaceful mountains. The accommodations were simple and cozy - very grounding. The teachers were outstanding, each one a true expert in their field. They not only shared their knowledge but also made us feel valued and supported. Definitely my favorite part of the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious. Every meal was beyond amazing, and the staff were all very helpful and respectful.

Elaine Pacheco

We had an awesome 3 day retreat at Vinyasa. We learned so much, did yoga philosophy classes, anatomy and alignment too, and lots of yoga! The location is so great, Rishikesh is actually really busy and loud, but the yoga academy is in a really quiet street and it's peaceful with lovely views. The teachers and all the staff were so welcoming, food was really good, we did an excursion to the river, and the room was great too! Highly recommend.

EmotionalRaga

From the first day till now ,my journeywas evolvement through learnings.Each Guruji is erudite in their respective field.They guided me how to rise from each fall. Their belief in me enhanced my enthusiasm. My success is incomplete without them.Also the Environment, Management,housekeeping , cooks ,played a very important role in my life. From morning till night and even at emergency they made things comfortable for me. Their behaviour and hospitality invoked good positive energy within me. ThE food and the cleanliness was awesome.

shweta sukhija

This last month was the bestest time of my life. Serene and blissful vibe in the lap of mother nature and Maa Ganga. I am glad that I chose Vinyasa Yoga academy for my YTTC. The Management, teachers, Kitchen staff, each and every person is best in their respective fields. I am so grateful to everyone for everything!! It was a great learning and funfilled experience with my batchmates who became like a family. I wish it would have lasted for long but had to leave with bful memories in my heart and tears in the eyes.

Yasmin Wolde

By far the best place to start your Yoga journey in Rishikesh. The School was caring like a mother for all of us and was always there for answering questions, taking us to caves, temples, Kirtan, meditation or Yoga at the beach. I can not put in words how grateful I am for the last 4 weeks. The teachers are extremely professional and put all their heart into teaching you as much as possible. The group environment was super welcoming, empathetic and loving. I am leaving with a huge smile and tears in my eyes.

Garima Shah

My experience at Vinyasa Yog Academy is amazing. 1. Premises- I am in love with this place, from room cleanliness to premises, serene and beautiful atmosphere, everything is so wonderful over here. 2. Teaching- Hatha Class-Shubham is really great; Pranayam Class -Sunil Sir is a very nice human being who apart from teaching Pranayam beautifully he imparts great wisdom to all of his students & I got new perspective of life from him. My life has changed because of Sunil Sir. Anatomy Class- Shivam is very good in his knowledge learnt a lot from him.

Ana Carolina Macacini

I was looking for a yoga school to go on Rishikesh, after many research I like their reviews and decide to go to Vinyasana Yoga Academy in the end of the year. But de pandemia cames and this plan was over. One day I get to the site to see the class for the next year, and for my surprise they have now online course. Truly it was one of the best choices I had ever made! The teacher have many many knowledge, always answered our questions, explaining the smal details af each asana, the books were incredible with all information and details that I needed.

Caitlyn Chick

I completely the 300hr online yoga teacher training with Vinyasa Yoga Academy. It was such an incredible experience. They really went out of their way for every student. The teachers were so knowledgeable and patient and learning under them has been an amazing experience. I'll definitely go back to Vinyasa Yoga Academy to learn more in the future

Linda

I would not have enough words on how grateful I have been to attend Vinyasa yoga academy for the 200hrs YYT. It was an incredible journey of learning, feeding my soul, meeting beautiful and generous people and all the sharing with all the team!! The location is amazing, central but yet away from the noise and buzz of the streets; making it perfect to a journey of self connection and learning. Teaching, meals, location, premises were of very good quality. I would definitely recommend it and return it for the 300hrs.

Abhijeet Kashyap

Just finished my 300 hour yoga ttc from vinyasa yoga academy. It was a really nice experience over there with academy all the staff and teacher team is always very supportive and they have lots patience,School located in very peaceful area of rishikesh, i have founded cute and loving bird 🦅 over there some time next to my room. Overall it was amazing experience and i highly recommend.

Gabrielle Sansoucy

My experience at the Vinyasa Yoga Academy was refreshing and educative. The teachers and their knowledge, the peaceful ambiance, the location and the rooms were all facilities that helped me to concentrate on deepening my yoga practice. The food was okay, nourishing but not fancy. I think you need a good school to do this kind of training, and this one if for sure one of the best. Though, you need to be ready to what comes to you and practice, go further and concentrate on yourself. Even the best school can not do this job or you.

Victoria Montiel Cabanás

It has been an unforgettable experience. Originally, I came to Vinyasa Yoga Academy to get the 200YTT certification for Hatha and Ashtanga, it was such a good experience that I couldn’t leave so soon, I decided I wanted to stay longer from the first week! Teachers are amazing, humble and full of knowledge; the staff is just lovely and the organisation is higher than the average standards in India definitely! I decided to continue with the 300h certification for holistic yoga right after and I am extremely happy with my decision.

Carolina Peña

Best experience ever, this last 34 weeks really change everything around and inside. The Vinyasa Yoga Academy is a truly a family and you can grow so much with their help. The teachers of the school were incredible, absolute caring and professional, and every day there where ready to be for us. We develop an incredible bond with the rest of the students, be share so much and everyone teach me something different, I will never forget.

Artise Fletcher

My time at Vinyasa Yoga Academy was phenomenal! The teachers were all passionate and had patience. The staff and my classmates felt like family. I’ve learned so much about myself and the theory of yoga. I believe if anyone wants to deepen their practice and get one on one attention come here. You get to experience the Indian culture and learn the about yoga. Hopefully when I am able to I’ll come back to do the 300hrs here. Highly recommend!

Baljeet Kaur

Such an amazing experience. Met incredible people and most wonderful teachers🙏. Learnt a lot about life, philosophy, yog. Highly appreciate all the guidance and support. And really good kitchen staff, prepared all our meals with so much love💕. Thanks a ton 🙏

Tanu Tanu

It was really well organised and wonderful program of Yoga TTC . Started my TTC journey with Homa ( Fire ceremony) with which really made me unlearn every thing and prepare myself to become receptive and seek as much as I could . About respected Gurus Hatha Yoga with Amitji was really inspiring ,his main keys are perfection and experience always used to touch every aspect of Asanas. New for me was learning every posture correctly, how flexibility is different from person to person and how holding every posture for long makes you perfect.

wim klerk

did the 200hTTC for Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa in October. It ws a great experience for me.... first time in India and wanted to go back to the source of yoga. Well balanced program with special attention for filosofy and pranayama, which they give less attention in other countries(have done some TTC's somewhere else). Had a great time with the group and quality of the teachers is mainly good. Sometimes they were rather fast in explaining. Accomodation and meals were very good. Employees are very friendly and willing to help.

Karla Miller

I very much enjoyed my experience at Vinyasa Yoga Academy. It wasn't easy, but who wants that? I liked it because it was a full experience: asana classes with challenging teachers; pranayama and meditation every day; studies in philosophy and anatomy. Beyond those, we woke up early (okay for me) and followed a yogi diet. All of those things combined to provide an idea of what being a yogi really entails.

lalithya varrey

feel blessed to start my spiritual journey from here. It gave me a great opportunity to decide my life path. The place has nourishing vibes with ma Ganga flowing before school & the school situated just on foot of Himalayas. I completed my kundalini 500 hours. I feel lucky for choosing this school, I feel this was my destiny to be here in the top school. If someone wants to start their journey you will glad if you choose this school.🙏

Shruti Pandav

Teachers are really good and has very good experience in teaching since many years. I loved the food here. Definitely best place to learn yoga in rishikesh.

Natalija Bakoviene

Would recommendaaqq asthis school 100 percent! We had the best teachers, made new friends, enjoyed our free time by doing nice excursions and shopping 😉.

aayushi gupta

Vinyasa Yoga Academy is located at the beautiful location. The teachers are very compassionate and they focus on minute details. The teaching style is amazing over here and proper attention is paid to each and every student. The food and accommodation provided are very nice. Overall the staff is very helpful. I would highly recommend this school those who want to start their Yoga journey.🙏 Thank You

bada Miya

It's mind blowing. I'm too much fit after joined Vinyassa Yoga academy. I enjoyed a lot in academy. Its my pleasure that I joined Vinyassa Yoga academy.

Harsha Awasthy

I can write so much, but I will keep it short and say that this is the school I would (and already am) recommend everyone. Teachers are compassionate and sooooo full of knowledge, each one of them. And dare I add they are all so motivating, that’s what I am going to remember the most about my journey here. Sad that it ended, happy that I can always come back 😇 And people the location is 20/10 honestly 😍

kirti singh

My experience has been incredible. If you are looking for good learning experience, this is the place to be. Believe me you, I checked over 20 Yoga schools in Rishikesh and I was terribly confused. And one fine day I just reached Rishikesh with no plans, I visited this place hidden in narrow lanes, surrounded by Greenery and it also fit my schedule good, so I just booked it. It was a very good decision. It is worth every second and penny and ounce of energy you'll spend here. Teachers: Some fantastic minds at work.

Louise Hannon

I really enjoyed and would highly recommend this course. All the teachers were lovely and helpful and very patient at answering the many questions that we had, particularly on the what's app group that was set up so we could share info etc. The live classes were great to participate in but the amount of recorded material provided by the instructors was very informative so missing a few of them didn't affect the overall learning experience.

Angela L.

This was my first yoga teacher training, and I could not have chosen a better school. Although Covid-19 ended my trip to Rishikesh, India, I felt this course brought it to me. The hearts of the teachers beat with true yogi passion. Although I still have a long way to go in my studies, these instructors gave me the tools to continue my path. Their holistic approach to teaching the traditional ways is a gift, and I felt blessed to learn from them every day of study.

Vera Moreira

Couldn't be more thankful for this amazing journey and experience. The school is placed in a quiet part of Rishikesh, 10min walking from the center, with an incredible view over the mountains. The Teachers are amazing, full of knowledge, professional and always free to help us and to push us forward. The staff is lovely and always trying their best, this is India and not everything will happen as we're expecting, but in the end we will have the best of them. The food is just heaven...

Kristin Kubat

I did the 200 TTC in April 2018 and I had an amazing time at the school. It was so good I even stayed longer just to enjoy Rishikesh and do some self-practice. The food is yummy, tastes like home-cooked food, the stuff is friendly, funny and supportive! It never gets boring, the course is quiet intense but you will learn so much (and there is time for selfcare or moments of silence)! Best of all was that all the teachers were so dedicated and passionated about their subject, I have enjoyed each lesson and discussion! Plus I had a wonderful group, so…

hanieh salimzadeh

Did my 500 hrs ttc, and it was the best experience of my life. Loved the energies, respect, and dedication. Namaste 🙏🏾

Dhanashree Mohapatra

Hare Krishna!! Dandavats Pranaam. As an initiated devotee of the Gaudiya Madhva Sampradaya I am aware that the Bhagwad Gita speaks of Yoga and that Bhakti Yoga is the top most of all Yogas. However a sound mind and sound body is needed for the practice of Bhakti Yoga hence I used to practice asanas and pranayama but on and off. I always desired to do a Yoga retreat in Rishikesh the land of Yogis but it was not possible due to different challenges and the latest being the COVID 19 pandemic.

Aimee Knight

The teachers have so much knowledge and so much care into their work. Learnt such alot, and this school radiates the best team.

Joana Goncalves

Amazing yoga teaching school with great teachers, kind staff and beautiful surroundings. Loved it and I highly recommend it!

Yoga Student

An amazing place. Professional, super kind and inspiring teachers, pleasant and inclusive atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Thunyaporn Rakprasoot

VYA is an amazing yoga school. They are great teamwork and always be ready for you. They listen to you and bring back the feedback to improve what the opinions and comments are there. On the other hand it's about how you adjust to be fit and ready for this big and super challenging moment in you. The environment are quite noisy and annoying by wild animals plus the sound of horns. Heavy traffic with narrow road but Mother Ganga heals us!

jacinta Galvalisi

Great experience! Met some amazing people and all my classes were interesting and learned a lot. Definitely recommend

M O

I enjoyed my time here so much, it feels really sad to have to leave. The Staff were loving and caring, the teaching was outstanding, the facilities were great, It's just like the way you see in the photos. I will come back to this school and would recommend anybody to study the yoga here. I am going back home happy and bringing a lot of knowledge that my Gurus taught me. Bring a hair drier if you don't have one :D hahahaha Namaste :) Olivia

Fiona Weiss

I had an amazing time completing my 200 hour YTTC at the Vinyasa Yoga Academy. The accommodation and food was great. As for the classes it’s a great introduction to Yoga and covers a wealth of knowledge in a short period of time of only 18 days. It’s definitely a full on course- so be prepared for a packed schedule - with not a huge amount of time for rest , but it’s definitely manageable and so worth it! I would have loved some more time allocated specifically to alignment within the Hatha and Ashtanga classes but I guess it is hard to fit everything…

Jana Burau

Attending the Yoga Teacher Training at Vinyasa Yoga Academy has truly shifted my entire perspective on what yoga really means. Before coming here, my practice was mostly focused on asanas but through this training, I’ve come to understand that yoga is so much more than just the physical part. The lessons in Yoga Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation, and Ayurveda were incredibly enriching and gave me a much deeper understanding of the yogic lifestyle. Each teacher brought their own wisdom and passion, which made the experience even more inspiring.

Jasbir Chhabra

This is an excellent place to start or continue your Yoga journey in the Yoga capital of the world - Rishikesh! I was also lucky to have a very good batch of colleagues who were incredible and fun loving - so felt blessed . The course is comprehensive and covers the length and breadth of Yoga practice including Ashtanga , Hatha , Philosophy, Ayurveda , Yoga alignment and Pranayama.

Eszter Dobák

Fantastic school, with amazing teachers, vibe & food! Thankful for everything 😊🙏💜

Akshay kant bhatt

Amezing 20 days and I have learned a lot And all the facilities here are very good.

anciya Ibrahim

My experience at Vinyasa Yoga Academy was truly transformative. The teachers were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuine in the way they guided us through both the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga. The environment felt peaceful, welcoming, and deeply grounding. I'm especially grateful to Shivangi, the coordinator I was in touch with from the very beginning. She made the entire process so easy and comfortable for me and was extremely helpful, kind, and supportive throughout my whole time there.

The teachers during my training were highly experienced, professional and inspiring. The founder is a man who has dedicated his life to yoga and who has the ability to create environments fostering transformation. The food provided was healthy and sattvic, the accommodation clean. Rishikech, situated at the foothills of the Himalayas, is the best place to be for practicing and I can highly recommend this school to anyone interested in authentic yoga.

Vinyasa yoga academy is such a wonderful and special place. I first booked a short 3-day retreat (which I highly recommend) in January. Then later in march I returned back to do my 200 yoga teacher training as I really loved the school and the atmosphere. The school is located in upper Tapovan which makes a calm and enjoyable environment to do your YTTC. The teachers and the staff are highly professional and makes it feel like home! Thank you so much for everything!

This program is truly life transforming! I encourage anyone on a journey of self-discovery or a true passion for yoga to join. The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable! I absolutely loved each of the classes. Even though the course was taught online I was able to form a bond with everyone in my cohort and the teachers. I enjoyed the program so much, that I am continuing my journey and registering for the Tantra and Meditation course.

Vinyasa Yoga Academy is an amazing school to learn yoga and meditation. The school feels like home, food is delicious, everyone is kind and friendly, and the teachers are really knowledgeable and attentive. I went for the 3-day retreat and extended for almost a week. When I have the time to do my TCT I will come back to Vinyasa Yoga Academy. Highly highly recommend!

This is a life changing experience. I couldn't visit India for yoga instructor training retreat due to (1) Covid (2) full time job. Online classes gave me opportunity to learn more about not only asanas, but philosophy, theories, history, anatomy benefits of yoga. All the teaching staffs are patient with high professionalism. I highly recommend this course for people who cannot travel, but still want to be enlightened and be happy by yoga. Namaste.
